London Attacked

All the liberties in the world are meaningless to a corpse.

And a corpse that died to protect those liberties?

I'd dig up the ol' trusty Ben Franklin quote right about now, but we've all heard it many times before when it comes to liberty and security.

I'm begining to think we should regard terrorism as a event disaster. Something you can plan for but never prevent. Similar to lightning strikes. To be honest we should be focusing on the G8 confrence anyway. Compared to deaths by terrorism, other problems like oh AIDS and poverty world wide kill more people per month than terrorists do in a year.

Sorry Islamic radicals, you're not killing enough people for me to care.

Terrorism has a crippling effect on economies and society. Without a strong economy or society you can forget about addressing any issue like AIDS or poverty.

Gas = terrorists money

No more gas in cars = no more money for terrorists.

A new power source is looking a lot better now, huh? Yet those billion dollar gas companies aren't gonna let that happen.

World = corrupt. What can we do?
Absolutely nothing! We don't have superheros or even super leaders. We have people like Bush, who push their own beliefs instead of what is best for the country and governments like Canada who can't stop shouting at each other for 5 minutes to get anything done.

"I'd dig up the ol' trusty Ben Franklin quote right about now"
But then you realized that it's nothing more than a quote and was said 200 years ago, in a very different time?

Ok, how bout one from the 90s?

"You can't trust freedom when its not in your hands, because everyones fighting for the promised land"

[Joust Williams]

What's that got to do with that quote?

'Never get high on your own supply.'

Say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude; at least it's an ethos.

"Officials: Unexploded Devices Discovered in London"

In what appears to be the first major break in the London terrorist attacks, U.S. authorities tell ABC News that British police have recovered two unexploded bombs in London.

In addition, British investigators say that parts of timing devices have been recovered from several of the blast sites. The unexploded devices and timing mechanisms should provide important evidence that could help determine who was behind the attacks, sources told ABC News.

Looks like they were going for an even bigger 'boom'.

'Never get high on your own supply.'

Heh. Who came up with that one?

Terrorism has a crippling effect on economies and society. Without a strong economy or society you can forget about addressing any issue like AIDS or poverty.

And it only works because we pay attention to it. Everyone here who gives a shit about terrorists: YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE PROBLEM. Terrorism is done for attention. Murdering people isn't the point, otherwise people woulda given two shits about the genocide in Sudan, lots of people murdered, no one cared. What terrorists want yout to do is pay attention to them and their shit of the day cause.

And we shouldn't. But thank you sensationalist media for giving the terrorists what they want. Their act, pasted on the front page of every news paper in the world, and it makes the dumber people wonder what we can do to stop them. We do have a solution, its call the police, and when that cannot do it, the army.

Too bad our army is consistantly misused and misdirected by the politicians.
