I never fully understood the situation in Ireland, in spite of many attempts to explain it to me.

@TheHorse it's pretty basic as regards northern Ireland. some want to be part of the republic of ireland and hate brit rule of the north. some want to be part of britain and hate the republicans. Pretty basic but that's the essence of the issue.

We heard about this as we got up this morning. The truck was apparently filled with grenades and rifles. I don't have any answers either. I'm just glad I live where I live.

The world is amazing in so many good ways. And so evil in other ways. To paraphrase the Bible, we should and can overcome evil with good.

@Shiva49 yep...some seem in a hurry to get to the supposed afterlife

personally I'd love to help some to get there, especially the ones that want to kill kids out for a good time to celebrate their national day and see some fireworks.

It is really not a good news. We are living under a "state of emergency" giving a lot of power to the executive power and the police since last November, which is not a very good thing in a democracy, and it should have ended on July 26th. Now it will be extended for 3 months

. It is true that they are living among us. More, they are identified, but they cannot be put in jail before they start to take action : it would be against our constitution

@topffer Yes I have lived not far from Nice for 30 years and I consider France my country, may be even more than Italy where I only lived my first 21 years. I am trying to contact all the friends who live in Nice, I am pretty worried.

That few cannot find any meaning in life is beyond me. For me, I don't mind leading many lives here to enjoy the bounty and gift of nature. What a privilege to be part of society anywhere! But for some life is like casting pearls before swine with due apologies to the latter! siva

Your end sentence speaks volumes - because not all the people are evil and so many of the innocent live among us - However I do believe it is up to those that are innocent to enlighten the authorities of the ones that live among them that have terror ideals

It broke my heart to hear the news about what happened in Nice, France. My heart goes out to the people of France. Unfortunately, we can't just bomb our way out of this situation that has become the new norm for the world, because like you said, "they" live among us. These terrorists are already spread out around the globe, and just quietly plan out their evil to unleash on the world. I wish there was an easy solution, but there's not. We just need to be as vigilant as possible, and make sure we report anything suspicious we see taking place. It's a sad time for all of us in this world.

I wish I knew how things like that could be prevented. Every member of our family has spent time in France on different occasions over the past 30 years. It breaks my heart that this could be happening there. I would be very uncomfortable if one of our daughters went back there now. Of course, the same thing could happen here.

I don't think anything can be done. This is how it is now. Just my take. They do a great job using intel to stop a lot of this before it happens, but they are never going to stop everything.
