How is it obvious that the numbers are lower?

Lets see a report as to why this is going on, not just graphical images and hype, lets see some factual news and evidence showing the reason behind it all ,

Its a sorry state we live in where war and fighting and death is run and supported only at the whim of the media

So you're saying that without the media, this wouldn't be happening or wouldn't be supported?

If there is to be coverage lets see someone ask one of the terrorists as to what is it they are hoping to achieve and what would make them stop?

I'd love to hear that from the horses mouth as well.

The way to peace might be as easy as just talking it out..

Seriously, was that supposed to be in green? That sounds pretty darn naive. Folks that can talk it out don't casually behead people by hand.

But it seems no one has thought of doing that, the only thing I see as factual so far is the ratings and profits made by the media supporting reporting in a fashion only to scare and worry about their bottom line.
Lets see this end by not fighting but by some intelligence , common sense and empathy.

Sometimes, in some circumstances, there is no other option. Do you think "just talking it out ... by some intelligence , common sense and empathy" would have stopped Hitler?

Stop selling the bullets to the terrorists would be a god place to start I think

First good point you've made yet, IMO

Stop making the bullets, stop supporting them stop hyping it up, stop the media reporting on it and it will all stop..

Again, I think you're dreaming. Mankind has had war and violence since before guns, and before metal. The only thing that would stop violence and war would be if there were just a handful of folks on the planet with enough space between them that they never saw the others.

While I think most of what you have said is terribly unrealistic, I also think that folks with your outlook are necessary to keep the other end of the spectrum a bit in check.

I'm not trying to pick a fight, I just don't agree with most of your point of view.
