Current Events - August 2007

i never heared about explosives that are manufactored in afganistan or palestine.....they could be assembeled there...but the main charge always has this sentence on it (MADE IN USA) i never heared about C4 that is made in Palestine or a mine that is called BOUNCING BETTY or an M16 or an AK47 that is fabricated in an islamic country? i was just wondering.
when the american invade Vietnam, the locals used the undeployed american bombs and made small bombs with it and killed so many americans...but yet they were not called terrorists....since when defending your country is considered terrorism ?

Have picked another era to have lived in? I am not saying that all era's didnt have their problems but don't you think that the violence which we see now is at times unbearable? Or is it a case of, the violence has always been here, but they didnt have the means to broadcast it and most families kept themselves to themselves regarding things such as domestic abuse ect?

But remember hearing ages ago that it was at least £1.5 Million....if this is the case and the McCanns are convinced she is alive and well then why don't they make more of this huge sum of reward money, why isn't it on the posters or the website?

MINNEAPOLIS -- Roughly 150 cars, trucks, and at least one school bus crawling bumper to bumper on a bridge that suddenly crashes into the Mississippi River could have been a recipe for a massive death count.

In light of the tragic colapse of a bridge that millions used over 40 years, have you felt a little more uncomfortable as you have driven over bridges? I don't use most of the old ones around my town. Some are like 70+. I've never liked major spans like the Golden Gate. Does anyone else worry? More or less than before?

Who do you think will play their roles?
I think Nicole Kidman, and John Travolta, my partner thinks Gwyneth Paltrow and Mr Bean.
And before you call me a sicko, they always make true story movies.........i can see this one coming a mile off.

I acknowledge that terrorism is a real threat but I think the way terrorism is dealt with is not much more than spreading panic and empowering terrorism.

Personally I think its kind of ironic that the terrorist want us to live in fear and our Government/media just seems make sure we remain in fear>

This country does not have enough electricity to pump water for its toliets. So how does one imagine huge ARMS & AMMUNITION INDUSTRY without electricity to run the machines? Obviously, the Americans, Russians, Chinese and Europeans are SELLING WEAPONS to all the terrorists across the globe Afghanisthan, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Iraq, Palestine, Israel, etc. What a BIG JOKE on humanity!
The funny thing is the guys selling Arms have formed the COALITION AGAINST TERROR - Ha Ha Ha!

I just spend a moving evening at the Vietnam War Memorial Traveling Wall. To see, read, and feel the names of all the men and women who died or are still MIA is truly a moving experience. How can Bush justify any of our losses in Iraq over oil when he looks out at memorials like this? 58,000 men and women died in Vietnam....how many must die in Iraq? Tell me your thoughts please.

There was a ONCE IN A LIFETIME event that took place. If you were to have gone outside and looked towards the southern sky low on the horizion just after sunset you would have seen two (2) stars that were in PERFECT alignment with each other. Let me know if you have gone outside and witnessed this great event.

How long until you start blaming Bush and Cheney for the bridge collapsing in Minnesota?

Just checking.

"U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Minnesota Democrat, suggested Bush administration spending on the Iraq war may have crimped funding for domestic projects such as road and bridge construction, and for such infrastructure projects as new levees for New Orleans.

"We've spent $500 billion in Iraq and we have bridges falling down in this country," Klobuchar told MSNBC. "I see a connection between messed-up priorities." "

The failing bridges were noted during the CLINTON administration. Nothing was done about it. The New Orleans Dam break was noted during the CLINTON administration. Nothing was done about it. Warnings of 911 were HANDED OVER TO CLINTON during the CLINTON ADMINISTRATION. NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT IT. Does this old bitty not see a connection between SITTING ON YOUR HIND END and doing nothing with PLENTY OF WARNING, then leaving it for the next guy to clean up??

So - Any other state want her? She's an embarrassment. I will be happy to ship her to you FREE!!

Radio 4, Thought for Today, Thursday 2 August, Dr Rev Alan Billings. Firstly he said whatever the circumstances of the disappearance of Madeleine he had sympathy for the family. Fair comment. He then got lost as a child, told us about it. OK. Then he compared the disappearance of Madeleine and the distress of her parents to Jesus when he went missing in the Market Place and Mary and Joseph were frantically looking for him. I do not see the analogy, Jesus I seem to remember was about 12 years old (correct me if I am wrong) plus he went off to preach, Jesus also had loving, caring, responsible parents who lost sight of him in a crowded market place. Is this comparison the official line of the Church or just one person's rather nieve view of the matter?

Does anyone really believe it was terrorism. The bearings in the bridge have been seized for at least 17 years. Eventually something had to give. I think there will be others to fall in the future. Concrete cracks and metal fatigues. Minnesota is in the rust belt after all
