Everyone stop arguing! This is about the London tradgedy, so let's all stop arguing and either pay condolences or shut up and take it to PM's.

*leaves topic*

Rich 07-11-2005 12:07 PM

I would sooooo close this thread if I had mod powers! *wink, wink* :p

Everyone shut up. Lets talk about London before someone gets killed.

SeaRex 07-11-2005 01:42 PM

Alright, enough. I'm giving this thread one more chance. If there is anything remotely resembling an argument or flame from here on, I'm closing the thread.

Furthermore, any persons I see arguing/flaming will be issued a warning. Keep it in PMs. Or better yet, just shut up. I'm serious.

Seems fair.

Dino 07-11-2005 04:05 PM

Right.

That does it.

If anyone beyond this point posts anything that doesnt have "London attacks" in it at least once, I will personally hand out a warning to that person. I don't care that I'm not a mod, I WILL find a way to hand out a warning, somehow. Even if it means going as far as making secretive paypal payments to Alcar's account.

*sigh*

I'm not angry with you all, I'm just disappointed. Page 5 is a maelstrom, a whirling, self collapsing vortex of manpoo, and it's not what I like to see. If I wanted to see a whirling, self collapsing vortex of manpoo then I'd flush the toilet. But do you hear running water? DO YOU?

Well then. I think we all know what we need to do so, come on lets DO IT PEOPLE!

Rich 07-11-2005 04:10 PM

Erm... yeah.

The bombs in London are nasty. I wonder what the terrorists will do to us next? Imagine another attack at same time on thursday. Like groundhog day.

Dino 07-11-2005 04:42 PM

Yeah did you see the bus? Totally ripped apart - they didn't stand a chance.

Goddamn I get so pissed when I think about it... and when I hear what the terrorists want - they want Bush and Blair to resign, they want the troops to pull out of Iraq... it just makes me see what they're doing as a kind of saddening "you caused us innocent deaths, so now we will cause you innocent deaths" thing. They want so many of the things that the anti-war protesters want...

It's hard to hold this view with any kind of empathy for long, because anger takes over and you start to get mad at the terrorists... But you gotta admit they're not just doing it for no reason... they're being treated like they've got no real reason to be angered and for some reason we're listening to Blair and agreeing with him. But all their asking for is what we were asking for. Blair and Bush want to see the terrorism end, so why don't they just do what they know will end it? Back down from Iraq, resign from office - it doesn't mean that we can't still defend ourselves, but I for one think that we should stop screwing with the middle east and start playing fair.

MojoMan220 07-11-2005 04:57 PM

They can't resign, because then the terrorists win! ;)

We both know it's about power and money, they are making oodles of cash from the fear of the citizens. If they've got nothing to fear, they won't purchase that new $1,000 alarm system and matching gasmasks for their dog and cat.

Exactly the problem. They want to get rich while we get bombed.

Statikk HDM 07-11-2005 05:16 PM

Why are countries assumed to be hard on terrorism once they get attacked? Why does having tremendous atrocities performed on your watch equal boffo approval ratings? Why does incompetence leading to death make you a shining example of a "terrorism" or "war" president?Its not like anyone gets glowing praise when they get an F on a term paper or get rewarded with a raise when they show up 2 days late for work.

Yeah, those bastards.

Personally, I don't really know anything about Blair. From what I can tell on this thread and others, he's a closed-minded, conservative idiot, much similar to my favorite person, George Dubya. What's Tony's deal?

And Dino, I totally agree with you (about the longer post). If we just meet the terms instead of blasting the shit out of people, then no more lives will be lost. Then, if terrorists strike again, the war will be justified, and I wouldn't feel like I'm living in an international asshole.

Tony Blair is a socialist special school dropout. He's replaced the Prime Minister's job description of running the country, with; performing a series of publicity stunts, and going on stupid political missions and crusades that cost lots of money. The Prime Minister is always "seen to be doing something". Really he himself is one big publicity stunt. He's an actor playing a character, a pretty picture of a person painted by his advisors - he's like the publicity front of a company, he's the shiny packaging, he's the hero, he's the amazing faultless wonderful person.

In other words, he's Dork Vader, and the farce is strong in him.

Jacob 07-12-2005 06:39 AM

Out of intrigue, why are you so against Tony Blair? Where you okay with him up until the Iraq war?

Indeed. The main-man is always the chancellor. They run the country. The PM is just the charismatic, salesman type presenter of the party. Which is why Labour have no opononents, no-one can beat Blairs charisma or ego.

Esus 07-12-2005 07:36 AM

Personally, I really like Tony Blair. He rocks, and completely deserves the three terms he's had.

These London attacks were just the beginning just wait until the nation of Islam gets a hold of a Nuclear Bomb! I hate to be like this but is it not a bad idea to be raceist to Muslims spite of the fact that its not right and that not all Muslims are terrorist? I mean I can't trust a single Muslim. I will not step on a plane, bus, or a train because of them. Their religion is violent and I truely believe we need to temporarely suspect every Muslim that he or she could be a terrorist just to be safe. We did something like that in WWII with the German Americans by putting them into small camps to live until the war was over.

I guess this is a security question. Should we suspect every Muslim a terrorist to be safe than sorry?

Yes. Pakistan has no nukes at all now does it...

Idiot.

paramiteabe 07-12-2005 11:54 AM

Why are you calling me an idiot its a serious issue?

Hobo 07-12-2005 11:55 AM

Because suspecting someone leads to deaths of innocents because of their skin or the gods they worship. Facist.

paramiteabe 07-12-2005 11:59 AM

I was only questioning these issues and not proclaiming them.

Your going overboard over it.

Hobo 07-12-2005 12:07 PM

I've got to love your totally accepting signature.

Unless you were joking, even raising it as a serious issue is enough to warrent your sanity. I mean, they're still people, there are christians who murder and bomb people. We gonna go ass rape every christian now?

AquaticAmbi 07-12-2005 12:32 PM

How could you conceive such an idea? Being racist to all Muslims would make us no better than the terrorists, who are racist to all whites and/or Americans. You're a Christian, yes? Racism is a sign of blind and unjust hatred, do you think your God would support such a thing?

I leave you with a famous quote of Benjamin Franklin to comptemplate: Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.

Yeah, this thread is so getting closed.

Which is a shame as there are still people missing.

Split the thread and delete teh shitz0r Searex?

Anyway. The police have found some interesting information. All the bombers have died, and they've been doing controlled explosions of terrorist cells all day...

How did they all die? I know one did for sure because he was a suicide bomber.

Hobo 07-12-2005 12:40 PM

I believe they all were, but i'm not sure. The police got a tip off today about their identities i believe, but i need to check.

EDIT: No, only one died in the blast. I'll edit more when i know more.

I found out two things today, There was actually 5 bombs, One didnt go off

And one of the survivors from the bus bomb had shrapnel in her arm, One of the pieces of shrapnel was a part of the bomb!
