Wouldn't surprise me. That's why they've been attacking the twin towers for decades - the goal of islam and the jihad is to harm American economically.

If after 9/11 we don't have a full backup network for the exchanges we're damn stupid. It's a fully redundant system now. I would be very surprised if we didn't.

LOL, if anything, WS are giving AQ good run for the money, doing plenty of destruction themselves...

A run for their money? That's like saying the Nazis gave Charles Manson a run for his money. Wall Street bad behavior has the cost the country FAR more than Al Queda.

Why, of course. Thanks for the "goals of Islam" update.

:thumbsup:

H. L. Mencken was brilliant and dependably, corrosively funny, a true 20th century Mark Twain, imho!

If that was the case it would seem that the very last people they would want to hurt are the banksters. Hell, if that was my ultimate goal I would be providing 24 hour security with an emergency medical team for the banksters.

You might also be interested in the "goals of Spidey". He wants to bring back slavery, kill all puppies, and replace mtn dew with Urine.

That is just going to damned far. If anyone fucks up mtn dew I will hunt them down with extreme prejudice!

The same al quaeda that don't have matching shoes and live in caves and have developed bombing techniques so sophisticated that they only cause 3rd degree burns to your junk?

Sounds like a load of rubbish to me.

That want us to believe there is a legitimate internet "boogieman" so they can bring in their internet kill switch and other domestic spying control and tracking mechanisms.

You can't fix wall street by offing wall street residents. It makes no sense to believe those following who you off will follow rules not set by government. It is government you have to fix before you can fix wall street. AQ has never been good at strategy.

Maybe while they're at it they can take out that hedge fun manager guy who made $5B last year by essentially siphoning wealth off of society.

Al Qaeda is an evil organization that operates under the dictates of what I consider an offensive religion. However, I also have a moral problem with the Wall Street financial structure where wealth gets concentrated into the hands of people and companies who are not themselves contributing to the generation of goods and services that benefit us all.

Fixed.
e = and
è = is
If it's not true, it's well found (doesn't make sense in english :p)
You wrote: If not and true, and well found
makes even less sense

Thanks mate! Was too lazy to do the ALT+ thing and look for the special characters :)

In any case, I have a nagging suspicion that there won't be many tears shed if some greedy bankers got eviscerated....

Muslims believe that a lie told to further the cause is not a lie. That is why you cannot believe a single one of them. They want to kill Infidels, when are we going to get that through our thick skulls? Maybe when it’s rolling down the street??
