What do you think of the way the world is showing it's support to Paris?

Many have taken social media by storm, from changing their photos to have a French flag overlay, to the hashtag pray for Paris and many landmarks were lit up with the French flags colors.

There are those though that think all of those acts are pointless and aren't at all genuine. But what can most of do besides that? It's not like they can all pack their bags and go to Paris to aide them or grab their guns and shoot anyone that causes harm to innocent people. So instead they try to show their support in the only way they can.

Does that mean that it is pointless or not genuine? Share your thoughts.

SFC Anabel Cepero It shows respect along with the lowering of the US Flags to half mast. It is a connection that is and will needed to forge ahead and eliminate the threat ISIS.

That being said we need to fortify and develop a course of action to rise our awareness here in the US.

Mixed views. What was done on Social Media has had no effect whatsoever on our Cmdr in Chief, who deported Syrian Christians who came here as refugees but were picked up while attempting to enter, but wants to import the Muslim refugees that were beheading the Christians.

Makes a whole lot of sense doesn't it? We have homeless vets and he wants to import other people's problems. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain refuse to take them in, so what's up with that?

France's population is 20% Muslim. And this is the thanks they get for taking in so many? They are literally losing their country and culture to Islam.

We should stand with the French (though I do remember them spying on us, and not allowing us to overfly them when we bombed Moammar Quaddafi. Later they bombed him... Go figure!). Suffice it to say I'm not a total fan of the French, but they did help us achieve independence from Great Britain... And they did give us the Statue of Liberty... That has to count for something and our humanity compels us to side with them against the sub humans that think nothing about attacking unarmed, defenseless, innocent people.

We could best support them (and ourselves!) by removing the dictator that pretends to be combatting them while covertly equipping, arming, and funding those associated with these terrorists. And we need to send the Syrian refugees home. It is time the world took a stand against these disciples of hatred before the battle becomes tougher.

Think about the world our children are inheriting. How we respond to this crisis directly impacts them. Is this what we want to leave for them? Unaffordable education, unaffordable healthcare, $60,000 of debt, plus no jobs, no peace, and no security? ??!!
