Attack on Finsbury Park Mosque in London
This is getting to be a chaotic world we live in.
Tragedy after tragedy.
Shall it end? Or will it get worse?
Any opinions?

It will get worse before getting better. It's the new "blood sport "
The innternet is full of inciting hate instead of inciting love.
I cannot think of any other way, even if it is said over coffee, or a beer, or on the bus, train etc, counteract that hate message with a love message, and a smile.
I'm sure when a country us beset with angst and anger, martial law is a policy waiting to be enacted.
It seems, today, it is working.
I don't see any indication it will end soon! In my estimation, Russia is making a huge effort for world domination!
I am affected of course as most are but like Red says : we balance it by going out of our way smiling and spreading more love.
Thanks everyone. I'll get back after dinner.

Galway, here just like that.
The people get a lovely 3 course meal, it is clean , and they keep their dignity. That is rarely highlighted in the papers, or the people who work voluntarily, of all faiths, and no faith. Good NEWS doesnot sell Newspapers.
Bad news and Bad headlines does.
In the News for pay game -
'If it dies...it flies!
If it bleeds...it leads!'
Why, do you suppose, this is so?
Because that's what we buy. Like when we rubber-neck when we pass a traffic accident. Or a train wreck.
The news is just money then??? well it wants curbing or the whole world will not be fit to live in and then where will they be.
The hounded Princess D and then they were supposed to self regulate. I think it needs laws against inciting hatred. Not against news but the way it is presented.
You bet it is, red!
Ads in newspapers, radio & TV news programs pay the bills.
Advertising revenues correlate directly to circulation/viewership.
So news outlets report what sells...in the manner that sells.
'If it dies...If it bleeds...'...
We may not like it. It may not serve us well.
But it is what sells.
'And', to quote TV anchorman Walter Cronkite, 'that's the way it is.'
that statement is like saying ISIS "just the way it is" you cannot just let things slide, you can make rules, we all survive better under rules.
I agree on the last comment of Red, we're far better with established rules.
But not rules that opts out the majority.
Humans are humans and should be treat under same laws until anyone proves they work outside the law of the land you are in.
So very nice to see you. Hi to your better half Ron..
