Putting your trust in the kindness of human nature....
« on: 16 August 2018, 23:20:45 »

...when cycling through Islamic countries with links to ISIS. A US millennial couple quit their jobs and just did that! What could possibly go wrong? ::) ::) ::) :-[ :-[ :-[

Where five ISIS terrorists killed them, I would think they must now be be top contenders for this year's Darwin award. :o :o :o

Once I got past the "ducking morons" reaction to this, I started thinking:

I think that, in general, individual people can be, and largely are, kind.
Ideologies, however, are almost universally not kind.

So when you're wandering through ISIS territory, you aren't dealing with people, you're dealing with blind ideology, and a particularly nasty one, at that.
