Well I guess you can keep on drinking the koolaid until our society is destroyed and anarchy reigns supreme or you can finally learn to recognize the fact that your attempts at multiculturalism have caused society significant problems.

Like BR says countries like Sweden who welcome refugees still have major problems with radicalism which doesn't fit the narrative you've been promoting all these years. Your sides social experiment just isn't working. So what are you going to do about it besides continually slander and lie about my countries president?

Just an obscure reference to Jonestown, Guyana, where grape kool-aid was used by the inhabitants to commit suicide back in 78'.

I figured as much, IIRC that's where the whole Kool-Aid term came from was it not?

Yep, although the majority of the Kool-Aid was actually found to be Flavor-Aid (kool-Aids competitor). That bit of knowledge is small recompense for the surviving family, relatives & friends though.

"Drink the Koolaid"

The term has evolved to mean swallowing the bitter poison of propaganda. Often used in reference to politics.

That's why it comes in all those different fruity flavors, makes it easier to swallow.

depends on how you look at it, Kool-Aid hit the market in 1927, Flavor-Aid didn't appear until 1929. Kind of like Coors (est.1873) and Budweiser (est.1876) they came on the market at different times but they are both considered beer, and neither one is fake.

Hello again,
sorry for being late, i did not want to place my post here and run away, just too much to do yesterday.

@Jim Yes, good riddance of course, the random slaughter of innocent and children makes all this talk of terrorists of being "righteous" or "for Allah" completely futile. Taking hostages is the lowest form to prove anything.

@Bilge rat: Yes, meanwhile i think you are right. Even i am becoming tired lately of excusing anything again and again, when there is no excuse. I had just read about the terrorist's family and how they stated that he had changed after his 1 1/2 years (not 15) at Guantanamo, but that they never would have expected him to do this. They obviously never thought that he might have just been lying.
It is difficult enough to spot terrorists, let alone arresting them in time, before committing something. This is really a problem, in our "enlightened" constitutions someone has to act before we can act, so how can we prove that he is up to something illegal before he does it. Finding explosives at suspects' homes is hint enough, but not all do this at home.

I can also not understand how this "radicalisation" works. Had he committed his deed right after Guantanamo, there could have had been at least some explanation, but he did it ten years later after founding a family. WTF??
