Some are saying what a tragedy others are saying one less potential Jihadi to worry about in twenty years. What do you enlightened folk think?
-
The media is so shameless, they're using it as their latest pro-immigration centerpiece. I know that much.
-
Yup....theres hundreds of bodies in the Mediterranean ....I'm sure a lot of them are children.
WHERE ARE ALL THE PICS OF THE HUNDREDS THAT HAVE ALREADY PERISHED???
This is an attempt by the media to shame some countries into taking in millions of people .
If we didn't destabilize the entire area by taking out Sadamm and Momar and trying to shove democracy down their throats we wouldn't have this problem to begin with.Too fvckin late now.Gemany alone is expected to assimilate almost 1 million immigrants a year !
-
Yes its sad and tragic. Beyond that, does it affect most people? No.
It'd be nice if the kid hadn't died, but the same can be said for billions of others. It hasn't changed my day one bit. Unfortunately kids are dying horribly ever day, I don't need to see and hear about it via every media source going.

It will become one of the most iconic photos of the 21st century and will be used by almost every part of the political spectrum for their own purposes.
RIP little dude. You deserved better than what the world gave you.
-
The sociopaths controlling the media couldn't possibly care less about the child, for obvious reasons. Let's get that out of the way right off the bat. If they were capable of caring, they wouldn't be trying so hard to destroy the world.

Every time I think that this place is full of nothing but douchebags - I read a post like this and realize that there are some good cats here.
-
yes leftist media just use it for political leverage
very obvious for us with critical and logical thinking
sheeps will swallow the bait
-
Very sad. Looked like a normal family.
RIP, and hopefully the father finds solace.

leftist media just use it for political leverage
Is FOX the right media? Because Rupert Murdoch wants to push immigration on us like no one else.
Didn't you know that?
-
It is very sad. Poor kid. :'(
It is unfortunately now being used as a tool for the liberal media to shame Europeon countries into accepting all the refugees. That's bound to happen though.
TBH, Syrians are decent folk and their women are pretty hot. I don't have too much issue with allowing them in as long as the countries of the resources to cope. Most of them will be Shia as well who are the better type of Muslim.
The biggest problem is if you start letting the thousands in, you'll have millions at the borders before you know it. :-\

ANOTHER great post. The sociopaths in the media and the government are tearing us down.
Its absolutely foolish for people to believe that we can continue like this. I am as down to Earth and skeptical as ANYONE - but I can see what is happening. The only chance we have - is to get back to strong fiscal conservatism and less government intrusion in our personal lives.
We need to stop being such gluttons for misery. Its sickening how much the world CRAVES to see sensational - horrific suffering and tragedy.
America (and I know some tool will say there is no 'America' so I will say The United States) needs to start leading the world through its INTERNAL actions. That doesn't mean a weak defense - quite the contrary. What it means is that our military should NEVER be used to push the agenda of those in power. If there is a threat - we swiftly and violently neutralize it. What we do NOT do is try to project American values on others. In my opinion - if we take care of ourselves and create an environment in the US that the rest of the world can admire - change WILL take place globally. "Cramming" democracy down peoples throats has never and will never work.
*****THE PROBLEM ***** There is FAR too much money in war.. We could build a military 100% designed for defense on 1/100th the budget currently spent AND it would be 100 times stronger. Our soldiers - sailors - airmen and Marines would have MUCH MUCH better equipment with this philosophy. The military would no longer be a social experiment either. The intestinal fortitude and moral of the military would increase dramatically - as there would be no doubt the "reason" for their jobs. Special Ops would be the standard - and the waste of resources would be gone. The citizens would be see these things and the ripple effect would be incredible.
I am probably rude on here and I am sure may come across as arrogant and I apologize for that. I honestly don't have a ton of time to read through posts and I often post before reading much at all. The fact is that IRL I am not that way at all and don't want to be perceived that way although I will never divulge my real info (not that I am famous or even well known).. I actually care immensely about people. I have been fortunate (wont say Blessed because the atheists aren't very tolerant) and I want to see others successful. That's one of the things about GB that is sickening. The ONLY reason that people are negative about others is because they are disappointed in themselves. I could care less about seeing pics of members - but I know that only a few % actually LOOK like they are into BB. I cant for the life of me understand why a scrawny or fat guy would come here unless he was busting his ass to get in shape and wanting to learn (but GB isn't exactly a place to learn anything). That cat that had pics of himself in a chef costume and smoking beside his motorcycle - LOL I mean come on man???
All that being said - sadly GB is a microcosm of the real world. The world is so full of jealousy and that one emotion fuels a HUGE % of the worlds problems. God humbled me long ago - but Pride is another emotion that is deadly. I am sure the insecure atheists will say that my faith confirms my ignorance. I will not even indulge that argument. I WILL say that I learned long ago that its wise to employ people smarter than yourself ;).
Need to get back to doing something productive - hope you cats have an outstanding day!

It's just very sad. Nothing else to say.

One less potential Jihadi to worry about in twenty years.

One less potential Jihadi to worry about in twenty years.
I'd add: If his total retard of a father had stayed put in Turkey, the kid would still be alive. That family was safe in Turkey, and could have worked and lived with their Muslim brethren. But I guess that just wasn't good enough...

The media is cynically manipulating people, and "useful idiots" like the ones you see on Facebook are taking the bait and running with it.
Qatar hasn't taken in a single refugee, and yet they're reportedly budgeting a quarter of a trillion dollars for the 2022 World Cup. Why do you think this is? And why aren't leftist pieces of shit protesting this "injustice"? Why is Europe forced to "make sacrifices" and "do its fair share" -- and why does the media, and its useful idiots, keep pushing, incessantly, for mass immigration into Europe?

A very good post.
Sadly it's likely to be missed by many
As its to serious, to honest, & to much to read.
Things do need to change.
I just doubt they will any time soon.
-
is it sad...sure. But y is this more important or sad than the THOUSANDS of other kids that probably drown. Its just the media taking advantage of a picture they got
-
Anyone with kids will feel shitty seeing such images, on the other hand I don't want my country fucked up for my kids in the future...
They need to support the Syrian government and help to stabilise Libya and solve the problem at the root, fuck having all our towns messed up, the state can barely provide for what we have
-
Great replies here.....lets continue with why the fvck aren't any of the Arab countries stepping up to help ?

There's very little pity in the Arab world -- even for their own kind. And yet Europe's political classes (e.g. that idiotic cuckold David Cameron), and the rest of the useful idiots, are drowning in tears of pity and sorrow. There's something odd about that, isn't there?
This Muslim Philanthropist wants to help... but only by establishing another Muslim foothold in Europe:
http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/contents/afp/2015/09/europe-migrants-egypt-island.html
For some reason, this burden is Europe's. Only Europe can help those poor, saintly migrants. And, if it doesn't, only Europeans are cruel and evil fascists. ::)
-
100 Christian children slaughtered like pigs in Nigeria and no one sheds a tear. But one little Muslim boy washes up on the beach and everyone goes nuts. Tell me again about the lack of a media narrative.
-
No child should die due to the poor choices the parents make.
But when all you anti-American Eurofags turn to the U.S. for help next week, you can all go fuck a pile of rocks.
-
They need to ... help ... solve the problem at the root. Fuck having all our (nations) messed up.
Exactly what I've been saying all along.
Although, I am quite certain non-Muslim nations cannot affect any positive change whatsoever in these shithole countries.
-
Well my next point would be, apart from the Syrians, who else is a legit refugee.... There's alot of horrible shit happening in Africa but truth be told the vast majority are economic migrants and from what I've seen the majority are young men.
I'm not even sure if you can be a young male refugee, think about that for a moment...
-
They seem very grateful.

If it's not Germans putting towels on the sun beds round the pool, it's Syrian kids taking the best spots on the beach.
-
seems that white men cant jump, brown men cant swim and black men cant work. sad for the kids, but they might have died staying in kobane or whereever and living as stateless refugees isnt a life either. they should have gone to istanbul, got the ferry over bosphorous and walked over the border. or taken some $10 lifejackets.
-
sometimes it's hard not to be racist
-
how much could he bench?
-
Great tragedy, but the media is twisting it as usual. All the focus on Europe and no focus of the cause of the problem.
-
Is FOX the right media? Because Rupert Murdoch wants to push immigration on us like no one else.

excellent point. FOX is smart... its viewers scream about a wall while support amnesty candidates.

I think it's terrible.
Such a shame there is nobody to save these animals from themselves.

just saw an asshole on facebook share several pics of different children dead and washed up

I blame their parents.

Christian militias have been massacring muslims in the Central African Republic and there has been zero interest from the western media. So it goes both ways.
-
It's the big stuff here in Europa.
BUT TODAY WE LEARNED that his family was living in turkey since 2012, and HIS FATHER DECIDED TO MOVE TO EUROPA TO BENEFIT FREE HEALTHCARE TO REPLACE HIS TEETH.
SO THAT WHY HE DECIDED TO TAKE A BOAT AND IMMIGRATE - THE FATHER WAS WEARING A LIFEBELT - NOT THE CHILDREN.

Africa is a wicked place, were best off not poking our noses into any if it, there is no 'good' side over there..

-
I blame the parents.
If you're living in a hell-hole and you can't afford a good living then pull it out or use protection for god's sake. Poor children have to suffer parent's bad decisions.
-

Ive just been to Africa and I really want to get back out there. I found Ugandans (esp the sailors) to be some of the nicest people I've met. Saying that you get the impression it wouldn't take a lot for the machetes to come out and shit get "tribal".
The French have been doing really good work out there. Puts America's and our recent efforts abroad to shame.

Yes. But the people are starting to wake up now. Their pro immigration campaign is awkwardly obvious.

Yup. Just as they don't give a poo about the caucasional women murdered by the illegal mexican here in the states. They also don't care about when black kids kill each other. Or when a caucasional LEO is sniped by a black guy.
The media is a black hole, sucking all that is good and true into it's gaping maw. I suppose the only good thing is its a "black" hole and as such will make Wiggs happy as the original holes were all black, don'tcha know.

And this.
How'd he get alone and drown anyway? Where were his folks, did they wash up too?

Good article on the moral preening of those that use this picture
http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/2015/09/sharing-a-photo-of-the-dead-syrian-child-isnt-compassionate-its-narcissistic/
"Have you seen the dead Syrian child yet? Look at his lifeless body. His head buried in the sand. His sad, resigned posture after he and his family made the treacherous journey from Syria to Turkey only to wash up dead on a Turkish beach. Isn’t this just the saddest photo you’ve ever seen? And gross too? Quick, share it! Show it to your friends — on Twitter, Facebook — so that they will feel sad and grossed-out too. Gather round, everyone: stare at the dead Syrian child."
-
I don't know what to think any more.
When I saw the picture, my first thought was that I wouldn't be surprised if someone drowned him, in order to use his image to push an agenda etc.
That aside, I have two children almost the same age as Aylan and his little bro. If they died in this way, and the media and celebrity world spent weeks circulating pictures of my dead boy and making their own little comments about him, I would raid aj's basement and go full retard.
-
I honestly don't care. His family and their filthy eastern ways are responsible for his death, not the civilized world.
There will be no backlash until the world gets a backbone.

It's a strange old world these days.
This event was probably mentioned during a session of parliament, and all the old men on the benches probably made some wierd noises to display their sympathy at the impact the Syrian Crisis is having on young boys. Then they leave the office, and stop by the local paedo den for a quick spot of child sex before going home to babysit the grandkids ::)

Yes. If someone wanted to choose the single, most outrageously ridiculous part of all this: that would be it.
You'll also notice they advance or retreat on the subject depending on what commands are issued through the likes of FOX.

I'm no conspiracy theorist, but maybe an islamic state would be paradise for the parliamentary peados? Maybe the reason we are so soft line against muslims in Britain, is because those in power empathise with them...

children should be protected
its our first role as humans
that child is a victim of random chance been born in to a shitty situation
as a parent its hard to imagine you wouldn't take your child away from a warzone
the whole thing is fucked up
a big part of me thinks we shouldn't be taking any more people here its over crowded
but its difficulty to take a hardline when innocent young lives are being destroyed

Pretty tough choice isn't it?
Of course you want to protect people, children especially, but are those people willing to assimilate into the culture you've built... That's the question.
If they are, then I see no issue, however, is that the case. Are people assimilating into the culture of the land they are migrating to?
-
Some are saying what a tragedy others are saying one less potential Jihadi to worry about in twenty years. What do you enlightened folk think?
Was probably not going to write the great American novel.

Actually, I read that as PARENTS have to protect THEIR children. I know that I protect mine and I am sure that all Getbiggers with kids would beat men to death with their fists to protect theirs.
Herein lies the problem with the "little kid on the beach". His parents put him in mortal danger NOT because they were in any real danger. No, the parents wanted a better free ride than what Turkey was offering. A better life of leaching off other folks.
I don't like seeing dead kids, but welcome to the fucking human condition on planet Earth. We've been killing each other continually for 5000 years and children are ALWAYS disproportionately represented among the casualties. Newsflash: countries and organizations basically don't care about children. One child's death is a tragedy, a million children is a statistic, right?
The best that any of us can do is make the best decisions for our children and protect them from as much shit as we can. And take the bastards out when they come.

Is that true? Was the child not in any real danger?
I mean, I'm not following what's up with Turkey of course, but I know the shit in Syria is serious.

except the kid was perfectly safe in Turkey until his dad heard he could get his (the fathers) teeth done for free in Germany or Sweden and get a free house and color TV too so he took his family into harms way for freebies from soft welfare state European idiots
The only person responsible for his death is his dad.

Actually, I read that as PARENTS have to protect THEIR children. I know that I protect mine and I am sure that all Getbiggers with kids would beat men to death with their fists to protect theirs.
Herein lies the problem with the "little kid on the beach". His parents put him in mortal danger NOT because they were in any real danger. No, the parents wanted a better free ride than what Turkey was offering. A better life of leaching off other folks.
I don't like seeing dead kids, but welcome to the fucking human condition on planet Earth. We've been killing each other continually for 5000 years and children are ALWAYS disproportionately represented among the casualties. Newsflash: countries and organizations basically don't care about children. One child's death is a tragedy, a million children is a statistic, right?
The best that any of us can do is make the best decisions for our children and protect them from as much shit as we can. And take the bastards out when they come.
One of our politicians here in Australia pretty much said this, and while acknowledging it was a tragedy, he (rightfully) attacked left wing politics and media for citing the image of the boy as reason Australia and the world had to act. Subsequently, they all vilified him for saying it, yet even though the story's come out that the family had been in Turkey for a number of years and were going to Europe for reasons centring around fixing the father's teeth, no one has accused him of getting the facts wrong, and the media are completely ignoring this because it doesn't suit their agenda.
Right now, our politicians have agreed to take 12,000 Syrian "refugees", focussing on taking in Christians and "other minorities"; our government doesn't want Muslims. I'm assuming these intakes are going to be screened; I can't see our conservative government not doing so, but then again, they also said we wouldn't take any refugees at all. :-\
Long term, I don't see any benefit to Australian society for doing this. Whether they're Christian or Muslim, they're from a completely different society with a completely different culture, and it's wishful thinking believing they can integrate here harmoniously and make a beneficial contribution. Reality is, they probably won't interact with the population here regardless of whereabouts in the country they're settled, and would only mix amongst themselves, creating a divide between their own little societies and the incumbent. It's unlikely they'll be able to get work, and will instead rely on government support, hence creating a welfare mentality, which is usually the case here. Making decisions based on emotion rather than rational thinking and established facts is dangerous and irresponsible.

Conspiracy theories abound.

The father's sister (the kid's aunt) said so in an interview. The title's misleading; she didn't explicitly say they were going to get the teeth fixed in Europe, but it was one of the reasons for trying to go there along with "a better life".

Not to mention it's going to cost Australia $700 million. Our economy is hanging on China's nuts for dear life and the PM is trying to buy votes for the next election in 2016. Maybe he should've put gay marriage to a vote in Parliament instead. At least it wouldn't have cost as much.
