Celebrities dying - The world celebrity culture really kicked off about 66years ago as global travel and communication became easier and televisions started to become more affordable.
Ergo in the next 5-10 years you are going to see more and more of the musicians, television and film stars who started out back then and had the monopoly of the pre satelite TV multi-channel coverage leaving this mortal coil.
Hatred all around? Is it any worse than it has always been? Perhaps the difference is with the likes of social media, 24 hour news etc you hear more about it and its even easier for governments (and the likes of Murdoch) to use it to influence and scare the weak minded, the desperate etc.
Your last part intrigues and worries me. He was a muslim (or at least from a predominantly muslim country) who had been arrested for smaller crimes yet he could not be detained as a suspected mass murdering terrorist? Whats your point here?
I'm now thinking back to the days of the Guildford 4 when having an Irish accent and history of Petty theft and Assault would get you locked up for 20years for bombing a London Pub
Based on what I have seen the attacker was a Tunisian man (Former french colony), who was estranged from his wife & kids (domestic violence) who never attended his local mosque (so was he really a muslim?), drank alcohol (forbidden in Islam), kept himself to himself and had been done for road rage for which he fully complied with his suspended sentence.
Lets see now, Alcohol drinking, non-church attending, wife beater who no longer sees his wife and kids and has been done for stuff like road rage or aggravated assault by the local cops.
If that's the criteria for security forces to detain someone then we are going to need to start building prisons sharpish as the cops could clear out most of the male populations of deprived areas.
Or can they only do it if the suspect happens to either be a practicing muslim, from a muslim family, from a country that is predominantly musilm, or just have an arabic sounding name?
