Internet trolls (assholes) are not helping by pissing people off. Maybe they are part of problem radicalizing some people.<br /><br />Limiting speech, especially trolling (asshole farting) might help. You can not have both way. Absolute freedom of speech and radicalization are connected.<br /><br />Funny, we make law to prevent public nudity which is considered offensive to others. But it is ok to make public comments offensive to others.

Might the proximal cause for both terrorists be ISIL propaganda? From my Swedish horizon, I conclude (no statistics!) that the attitude towards these, and other recent, events is changing among politicians and journalists who have become more outspoken. The article (link below) written by Ian Cooke - Lead Curator for International and Political Studies at the British Library and whom in 2013 co-curated the British Library exhibition Propaganda Power and Persuasion, on WWI propaganda, ends: "Certainly, contemporary commentators were impressed, and sometimes horrified, by the effectiveness of propaganda in influencing public opinion. In the years immediately following the war, the exaggerated reports of German and Austrian treatment of civilians were denounced as ‘atrocity propaganda’. In the USA, the opinion that the country had been ‘duped’ into joining the war influenced isolationist policies. Both Lenin and Hitler were convinced of the significance of propaganda in ensuring success. Perhaps the most damaging legacy was the myth that gained currency in Germany that the war had been lost not on the battlefield, but through the influence of foreign propaganda on the German people." http://www.bl.uk/world-war-one/articles/propaganda-as-a-weapon Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17933580517598976239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-53983510108128941422016-07-19T20:09:41.922+01:002016-07-19T20:09:41.922+01:00Immigration policy in the literal sense can become...Immigration policy in the literal sense can become irrelevant quickly if those who have already immigrated have much larger families, and have them at younger ages, than the indigenous population.deariemenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-69527248296104787822016-07-19T19:08:46.842+01:002016-07-19T19:08:46.842+01:00I don't think it is the third world war.
