'Shootings' reported in central Paris: Reports of shooting and casualties in central Paris

If history has taught us anything, it's that man will always find a way to commit atrocities. Everyone fosters an inherent evil. Until humans evolve past violence, they will find a way to justify killing. These extremists are the result of the long bloody history of man. Man is to blame, all sides play a part in self sabotage. All religions have and continue to breed violence, but countless other things do as well. Violence comes from a primal place in all of us, yet it's very unknown to most of us. We don't fully understand why people kill innocents or take joy in killing. Religion doesn't cause violence it's another way to allow someone who's been raised a certain way in a specific environment, to feel morally okay with killing. We have to look at the systems in the societies of the world that would cause people to want to subscribe to a philosophy that justifies killing. I believe it's because of the growing isolation of man in the 21st century that was kick started after WW1 and exasperated by the industrial revolution. This isolation is so apparent in American culture, many people are more disconnected from their families as ever. Young men in this country are becoming a part of extremists groups or killing at random because of something rotten in our society. That's just a theory, I don't spout my opinion as gospel. Question it please, degrade me if you wish, I love being offended. SJW is a blanket term used to describe people who I see as simply misguided in their crusade for more equality. Some teachers get carried away in what is ultimately a good thing. We should continue to teach and talk about inequality I believe these students are taking what are good causes too far. It makes it so feminism looks crazy and unnecessary If we want a solution we must realize it us to be a balanced solution. I don't claim to know what that is.

I believe we must try to stick together though we may disagree, we can't let ourselves sway too extremely in any one direction. Political parties are tearing people apart, partly due to the propaganda in our media and information overload.

This is a bit of a jumbled mess but it's late. It's been a hell of a week and my minds burdened with the state of things. I'm hoping we can find a solution to the worlds blood lust, greed, and isolation. All life is precious, we're all just confused beings in a vast unknown universe, let's try to be their for our fellow humans and try our hardest to be empathetic and balanced.
