damn.....I would be cheering with that happened in France. :(

WTF dude?

DaWhim = Republican?

no, idiot is a better description. wishing death on innocent people isn't a political affiliation.

I'm just wondering, because all my republican friends hates france with a passion, it's something they would say.

Anyone who says crap like that needs a good beating

hating or disagreeing with someone because of their political or religious beliefs is one thing. wishing death upon them because of that is no better than terrorists themselves, imo.

You are correct.

However, I just realized I am dumb. I am watching TV on my PC. Didn't occur to me to do a vid capture.

I will try to do it when something good gets on.

well as we know the news stations just play again and again the same things as long as they don't have new photage. wait another hour or 30 mins and do a recap of the video then..

My, on the one hand, my heart goes to all Londoners affected by this callous attack, but on the other hand feels grateful that it didn't happen when my wife and mum were visiting London a month ago.

What is clear, though, is that the fvcking BS rhetoric from this admin that "America and the world are safer" is now completely and utterly without basis. Attacks like this will continue no matter what countries are invaded and no matter what sanctions are imposed upon others. There will always be a fringe element seeking to cause death and destruction.

Better security at home at ports, chemical plants, transportation hubs, trucking industry, etc. is what we need, not more bombs and bullets.
Oh yeah. THAT'S gonna work! :roll:

Crime? Screw going after the criminals! Hide in your homes and barricade your doors!

Bees stinging you when you walk outside your door? Screw finding the hives and destroying them, better to wear a bee suit every time you leave your house!

Your answer to terrorism warms the hearts of terrorists all over the world, Conjur. You're exactly the kind of pussy they hope all westerners are.

Your plan is exactly what they want us to do: Run away with our tails between our legs and hide.
Yes, it will work. Extra security at places like that would minimize, at the least, any damage done as they wouldn't be able to board trains, planes, ships, etc.

What's Blair going to do now? Bomb Iraq again? Invading Iraq has created MORE terrorism in the world.

Get a fvcking clue.

From the thread in P&N:

I'm currently staying in Arizona on holiday from my job in London, the explosions happened on a route i travel 5 times a week. Thankfully it seems I chose a good time to go on holiday, my sister and my brother who normally are nowhere near London however ironically are both now stuck there due to my sister having just left the underground station near Kings Cross moments before the explosion. I just got through to my parents who say my brother was also working right where the explosion the bus went off. From what i can tell there are more casualties coming in than the news seems to be reporting for now, i have a friend working in one of the main hospitals nearby and it seems that large numbers of people were rushed to the hospital. From what i can tell things are fairly calm in London in general based on other friends talking to me from work via msn at the moment, but there are still people trapped underground. Anyone who uses the London Underground will allready know how horrendous during rush hour without this happening. I feel very sorry for those people that are stuck down there I can't even begin to imagine what it's like. I hope that this doesn't all get used as political capital for installing these stupid ID cards and the other laws that are rolling back liberties that took us centuries to gain in my country.

BBC Radio 5 reporting over fifty dead in Aldgate East station


I've heard people at work say the cell phone network was shutdown in London since bombs are triggered remotely via cell phones (that's how they found the terrorists in Madrid. One of the bombs failed to explode and they traced back to them via the cell phone and where it was purchased.)

wow. to know that you could have been affected by this tragedy, but avoided it with some luck....it's got to be a mixed bag of emotions.
