neaky:
well i heard that the two people i know who live in london are safe, so that's a relief.
Has anyone been to the gas station this afternoon? Locally, reg unleaded jumped from $2.04 to $2.20 in the span of four hours....
Hmm. This morning we were at $3.17 US/gal....(1.029 CDN/L I did the math for you). I wonder what it's at now.
it's $2.37 here at Snowshoe. quite ridiculous if you ask me,but i've been used to paying $1.75 or less where i lived before.
this should make for a GOOD 10 more pages of this thread:
Bush REALLY does suck,and he REALLY does a sh!tty job of running this country and is currently well into the way of ruining the entire world! Thanks Bush!
can't wait to hear what he...wait....what they WANT him to say about this entire deal in jolly ol' Eng-a-land.
it's my opinion and it's better than yours.

But what could we do if China thinks Taiwan has WMDs?N8 said:

This is the most intelligent thing said in this thread so far.
The situation in the middle east is extremely complicated. I haven't studied it enough to offer a valid opinion to this thread. (Of course that hasn't stopped anyone else)
I didn't come up with that one, but I don't know to whom I should attribute it.Ciaran said:

Hehehehehehe. If it's opinion, then anything's "valid".....
My condolences to the now 37 people pronounced dead in the London attack. It is a sad day.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." ~ George Santayana, The Life of Reason, 1906
We must remember that the actions of our governments are inflicting this type of carnage on the inhabitants of two other countries on a daily basis, and have been since 2001.
You see how much this has affected us. Imagine how you would feel if your family and your life was based in Iraq, where a foreign power has caused bombs that kill these numbers of people on a regular basis.
War creates war. This situation has been greatly enflamed by the actions of our leaders.

That's interesting. No price jump here in MA and I heard on NPR that the price of oil dropped $4/brl after the attacks.N8 said:Has anyone been to the gas station this afternoon? Locally, reg unleaded jumped from $2.04 to $2.20 in the span of four hours....
dan-o said:
Yeah... I heard that as well.... Maybe some f'n state TAX just went into effect here....
Changleen said:
Duh.
Very interesting....people were killed in London today and all you guys are talking about is the gas-prices......yeah...guess your pick-up trucks are kind of important to you !?
I didnt say there is no religious fundamentalism, i said, there is no room for it in our society....yet it is very prevalent (especially in TN) & it will probably be the downfall of our civilization. That is my point.SkaredShtles said:Good God, what makes you think we have?
On my drive across the country I saw numerous vehicles and billboards proclaming that I would burn in the fires of Hell if I didn't accept Jesus as my savior.
Hell - you live in TN. Do you mean to tell me that your neck of the woods has become "enlightened" WRT religion?
I think you can thank the current state of American right-wing fundamentalism on the liberal fundamentalists.
There is a staggering number of religious zealots here in the South, hence the term bible belt. These brain dead morons are no different than Al-Qaeda or the Taliban, if you ask me. The similarities between the conservative-christian-right & islamic-fundamentalist-jihadists is very scary.
gas prices have been going up due to the TS that just blew through the Gulf of Mexico & another one is coming.
Um, commenting on economic changes related to the bombings isn't that much of a stretch. I'm sure www.bling-bling.com's forums are full of comments about the gold price fluctuations that occured today.seismic said:
Hell, I was at the Koln IFMA bike show the day after 9/11 and people were bitching about the price of innertubes. Life goes on.
TN said:
Bible thumpers are just as brain dead as liberals whacko in my opinion.... they just occupy oppsite ends of the loony bin. I dislike both equally.
37 people dead. For what I ask. NOTHING.
If N8 (and other die hard supporter)could take thier blinders off for just long enough to see that the people he supports are the same ones screwing up his future, and the future of his young ones.
Look at who you are supporting and what they are doing. Are you willing to let your kids go off and die for nothing?
Please don't dance around by calling me a hippie or something else dumb. I want to know what your honest opinion is.

What are the issues on "the other side", which are not addressed sufficiently by Scheuer?
wow....i think i might agree with you...but i dislike the religious zealots a lot more than the liberal whack-o's. maybe it's because I grew up an atheist in rural Mississippi. :nuts:N8 said:

You are deluded. You have far more in common with the bible-thumpers than any of us. Both of you have the utter inability to look critically at your leadership and view anything that is done in it's name as anything other than good.N8 said:
What part of 'Bombing Muslim countries and killing hudreds of thousands of innocents for no good reason will make Muslims angry with you" do you not understand?

You should point this out to the people that killed 37 people and not ridemonkey folks. It's sad that this crap is going on, but it's not the government causing it. Just like one of my ladies at work. As soon as one thing is resolved, she searches something else to bitch about. Extremist are just, well......just that. They will always find a cause. This time they just found some kids in CA to support their actions. You may not think you do, but completely doubting folks running a country that most of us know little about helps their justifications.chicodude01 said:
