I always think it's odd how worked up people get over these relatively small death tolls from terrorism while not giving even the slightest of shits about all the death that just naturally occurs to poors in their own country. For all the hoopla this poo poo gets we could easily save more lives than any of these bombings take by just investing a bit more into social safety nets.

I, an intellectual, want to know why people get their underwear in a bunch about groups of people being violently murdered. Don't you know that the sun is killing people all the time? Wear your drat sunscreen, people. Relatively small killcount here in comparison to our ultimate foe, the sun.

By that same logic we'd just ignore ISIS and just let them have their way all around the world because until the body count is on par with car accidents and disease why bother right?

Yeah I mean if we put all the money we throw at our dumb security theater into stopping completely preventable deaths just due to income inequality we'd end up having saved more lives. It's 22 lives, that's like less than a month of murders in chicago.

9/11 caused way more loss of lives than just the people in the twin towers.

it is the year 2025. sunlight is only allowed for brief periods of times, as it has been proven to cause terrorism. security is rampant, snitching on your neighbors encouraged. you can be stopped and searched at anytime, for any reason. anime, is forbidden. big muslim titties are permitted. however, big long beards and sandals are banned. men must shower daily. welcome to hell

I myself do not have a finite amount of shits to give, and can cover a number of things with poo poo as need arises.
