"Brussels attacks: How to change your Facebook profile picture and other ways to help"

Because changing your profile picture is just so helpful.

What a load of lightweight tosh people do come up with these days.

In the 60s it used to be "All you need is love", apparently they were wrong, "All you need is like".

Perhaps there will be less bombings when the West does less uninvited nation building.

Sometimes folks just need a way to cope with these events, in what way does having a story like this and folks doing a little and changing their Facebook affect or harm you.

Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

I never said it harmed me - I merely find it pathetic that individuals lack sufficient backbone to 'cope' when you consider that about 99.99% of said individuals are not affected directly by the actions.

I cannot imagine what WW2 would have been like with this lot involved. Change your Facebook profile instead of D Day perhaps. It's self-indulgent drivel.

I have no problem with people showing sympathy, however I disagree with Sandberg, I don't think ISIS's motivation is over a facebook page.

I'm sure there are many in Europe just now who would agree that "uninvited nation building" is not something they want!

Is it filled with ads selling weight loss products?
