General / Off-Topic Terror attack in Paris, 13/11/2015

Do you feel the same solidarity with other people who are getting murdered all the time all over the world, but don't get such media coverage?

Sp0q is quite right.

If you think with your heart then obviously you'd agree we should do as the OP suggests. If you think with your head you'd realise the number of causes followed would be innumerable. Should we create a Syrian flag and donate to the refugees? Should we create flags for the African nations ravaged by terrorist groups, or Yemmen/Middle east?

It would be endless, and frankly I come to video games to escape the real world as bad as it may sound I don't want reminders of how terrible this world is. If people wish to donate to the French victims and their families and help support them through this horrific time thats great, amazing in fact and they shouldn't ever be dissuaded from trying to help people, but I don't think this is the right way to do it.

It's a war , western countries are in great part to blame for what it is going on, there would be no ISIS without the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but now something has to be done before ISIS spreads further, maybe Russia is doing it right by attacking ISIS while the US funds anti-Assad rebels (many groups are ISIS), all we can do now is support our victims, it's not about politics.
 
I was online late last night when the attacks happened, and some of my friends who live in the city were on TS...The shock in their voices, and tears..
Words can not express the anger/ shock and sorry for anyone who has loved ones in this senseless act of terrorism.

My thoughts go out to you

Stand together, and united.
 
I know some of the people posting on here are French and my heart goes out to you, your nation and especially to all those families directly affected.

Are there any specific charities aimed at helping those affected you could post a link to?

I don't think we need FD to do anything directly, I'm sure many of their staff would donate as well, although I completely understand the good intentions of the OP. Let's just make sure those that want to help can.
 
I've bought my French Flag skin as a small sign of my support for France in this terrible time. I'll also be donating separately.
 
I'm unsure why the OP needs to buy an in game skin from a video game (and have FD donate the profits) in order to express his desire to show solidarity with France? Just go donate some money via existing methods.

Whilst the sentiment is great, can I ask people to not speak on behalf of others. Whilst it might be correct, I can speak for myself.
