>> After all the goal of shootings and explosions is not to physically destroy citizens, it is to scare them. So when people are not afraid, terrorists do not reach their goals. And if you succumb to fear, terrorists win.
Reminds me of Japanese people's reaction to the ISIS threat, they mocked them on twitter with memes[1]. Also they denied request of religious food for exchange students[2]. Any religion is not superior than others, so there will be legal or philosophical standings for them to be treated special.

- grogenaut 11y agoWait, someone still serves a website with cold fusion?
- jonah 11y agoLots of sites! Big and small. There are even several excellent Open Source CFML engines.
- slyall 11y agoAfraid so. I used to work there. The codebase is at least 15 years old in places. Team of 4-8 people looking after it and rolling out changes. Self-written CMS as well. Every now and then somebody gets the idea of rewriting it in something else. Problem is that while it may look simple ( "I just need templates for front, section and articles pages") there is a lot of extras (see the 4-8 people and CMS). Note that newspaper companies don't have a lot of money these days. I've heard they are having another go at it. For one thing it is hard to get CF programmers these days.
- grogenaut 11y agoAwesome, I never expected an actual answer. Thanks!

- J_Darnley 11y ago> The memes at [1] Ha ha ha. The absolute best way to deal with any threat.
- late2part 11y agoMaybe. Kenji Goto and others are sadly still dead and these Daesh fools keep killing others. Mocking evil people with memes is like wearing a yellow ribbon for cancer.
- wodenokoto 11y agoThe kid in [2] did not request "religious food" but simply said he'd eat around the pork. My uni here in osaka has kosher options in all cantinas.
- desdiv 11y agoDid you mean halal? Kosher is a Jewish requirement.
- wodenokoto 11y agoHaha, yeah, I did. My bad.
