Now i have calmed down about this outragous attack on our capital, we need the MCB to help flush out theses evil people for our sake and the British muslims.

Lie down to this and London and other cities will never be safe again. Are you prepared to live under such threat? This is a day of reckoning.

The law to be altered and capital punishment reintroduced for treason and terrorist killings. Any arrested, TRIED AND CONVICTED, to be hanged. Any person calling in public for islamic jihad or " death to Blair" or calls for terrorist acts, to be arrested. When TRIED AND CONVICTED, minimum sentence fifteen years with no remission.

I'm almost stuck for words, unusually so. May I suggest a dose of good old fashioned police brutality, almost deserved for brainless scum.  ___________________________________ Message 357 of 504 in Discussion From: Lendiantel Sent: 7/7/2005 2:02 PM Okay, you want a joke connected with a terrorist bombing. Here's one. See if it makes you laugh in light of what's just happened in London. A man receives a telegram and asks the postman to sing it to him. The postman says he doesn't normally do singing telegrams, but as he fancies himself as a singer, he'll give it a go. The man is delighted and awaits the message. The postman then looks at the message and asks the man if he's really sure he wants him to sing it to him. The man eagerly replies, "Yes, yes, I've always wanted a singing telegram." The postman then taps his foot on the floor to count in the beats, "one, two three four"<Music symbol>...Your wife is dead, dead dead......Died in a bus bomb blast... Now ain't that the funniest thing you've ever heard? NOT!  ___________________________________ Message 358 of 504 in Discussion From: Amazed Sent: 7/7/2005 2:06 PM Considering that our news just told that the death toll is now 12 and 300 have been injured - no, that wasn't funny at all. ___________________________________ Message 359 of 504 in Discussion From: two_OF_seven Sent: 7/7/2005 2:07 PM i remeber being stuck on the glasgow tube after the madrid bombings with a load of football fans, they were all siging some song that sounded similar, not funny at all :-( ___________________________________ Message 360 of 504 in Discussion From: VikingHumpingWitch Sent: 7/7/2005 2:07 PM It's actually not funny in any light. It's just not a good joke. ___________________________________ Message 361 of 504 in Discussion From: Jonren Sent: 7/7/2005 2:07 PM Someone spoke earlier of humour in dangerous situations. It is well recorded that soldiers in the trenches relied heavily on humour to get them through the day. That is understandable, but I hardly think these soldiers would have appreciated those at home and in no danger, laughing THEIR heads off. The point is obvious and may I ask budding comedians on the board to absorb it. ___________________________________ Message 362 of 504 in Discussion From: Jonren Sent: 7/7/2005 2:13 PM I think Lendiantel was actually making the point that the situation is not funny at all. His heavy irony was obviously lost on some. Well done Cathy and Vox for your appreciation of the serious nature of today's news. I don't think many of us feel like laughing as the death toll rises.  ___________________________________ Message 363 of 504 in Discussion From: Dax. Sent: 7/7/2005 2:15 PM Someone told me that Sky News is reporting 300+ in hospital and 40+ dead. I don't feel like laughing. I've emailed my cousins in London, hope they are OK. ___________________________________ Message 364 of 504 in Discussion From: Lendiantel Sent: 7/7/2005 2:16 PM My post 357 wasn't meant to be funny. It was meant to highlight the fact that there's nothing funny about people who are murdered, whether it's being considered by loved ones, or total strangers. Did anyone laugh when Ken Bigley had his head cut off? Did anyone laugh when they discovered the body of Millie Dowler? Is there ever a 'right time' to laugh at innocent people being murdered? I don't think so. So why do supposedly sane people feel they're behaving rationally, when they make light of someone's untimely demise? I doubt that they'd laugh if the victim was a loved one of theirs. Or would they?  ___________________________________ Message 365 of 504 in Discussion From: Lendiantel Sent: 7/7/2005 2:18 PM I think Lendiantel was actually making the point that the situation is not funny at all.

If you can't appreciate the English tendency to deal with things through humour, it's probably only because you're not English. Omni's such a tease. ___________________________________ Message 369 of 504 in Discussion From: Lendiantel Sent: 7/7/2005 2:22 PM People can guard against their fear without laughing at the death of others. Courage and defiance in the face of danger has nothing to do with laughing at someone else's death.We laugh at the possibility of our own. That's the point I'm attempting to make. __________________________________ |

Not at all. But it would at least show some decency and a mark of respect for the innocent people who have died. I just don't understand the mentality of some people. Did anyone think 9/11 was something to joke about? Or is it just a case of how many died that matters the most? ___________________________________ Message 399 of 504 in Discussion From: Obi1-- Sent: 7/7/2005 2:42 PM FFS 45 dead and 1000 injured is not a joking matter __________________________________ |

Message 400 of 504 in Discussion From: K¨ªngofWessex Sent: 7/7/2005 2:43 PM Actually, a lot of jokes appeared after 9/11 and people laughed. Jokes come out after all disasters and people laugh at them ___________________________________ (1 recommendation so far) Message 401 of 504 in Discussion From: _LuckySprite_ Sent: 7/7/2005 2:44 PM I dont see many jokes Obi... Some really stupid comments - but not many jokes... ___________________________________ (4 recommendations so far) Message 402 of 504 in Discussion From: maintsghost Sent: 7/7/2005 2:44 PM It takes an effort to answer civilly, Leanditel. Because I'm shaking at the moment. I realise it's because though I'm sitting at my desk, calm faced and typing away, at some level I'm so emotional and worried, I'm prone to overreacting in extremely stupid ways, like raging needlessly at your irritating and sanctimonious pomposity. And to be honest, I'd rather laugh hysterically at something silly than do that, and if that makes me a frightful human being, so be it. I once shrieked with laughter upon hearing of a classmate's death. I hope now I'd have better self control, and no, not laugh in anyone's face if they told me of a tragedy. But I rather resent the suggestion that if I don't react in the approved manner, it means I am somehow lacking. We've all got to get through this life in some way or other. ___________________________________ Message 403 of 504 in Discussion From: Lendiantel Sent: 7/7/2005 2:44 PM I don't think I've seen one instance where people were laughing at the dead. You're twisting things around.Hey, the fact that anyone could think of humour at such time was reason enough to be critical of their view. ___________________________________ Message 404 of 504 in Discussion From: K¨ªngofWessex Sent: 7/7/2005 2:45 PM Obi, it's not, however the point being is made that people deal with adversity and tragedy through humour, as an ex-marine you'd obviously have experienced it first hand ___________________________________ Message 405 of 504 in Discussion Sent: 7/7/2005 2:48 PM This message has been deleted due to termination of membership. ___________________________________ (1 recommendation so far) Message 406 of 504 in Discussion From: Jonren Sent: 7/7/2005 2:49 PM Sorry to be serious again but I feel something should be clarified. Off course it is wrong to blame all muslims for today's events.Not even I do that. But in balance it is equally wrong to talk about the actions of a handful of nutters. Terrorist groups require vast amounts of funding,communication networks and a great many safe houses. They must enjoy wide support or would be unable to function.They depend on the silence of the 'innocent' people in close proximity to the lairs. What happened in London today would require the co-operation of hundreds of aids and the tacit approval of thousands. In Ireland it is well known that the IRA's continued existence would have been impossible without the 'support' of thousands of countrymen. Eventually, there will probably be many arrests in London. Do not be shocked or surprised if sometimes it's " that nice young man or couple next door". Terrorism only exists where there is on going support, as in Afghanistan and Iraq. That is a FACT. To conclude, NO we should not rrest thousands of muslims but we should also not be naive enough to believe that todays atrocities were engineered by have a dozen maniacs. Think about it. ___________________________________ Message 407 of 504 in Discussion From: f§Öral Sent: 7/7/2005 2:50 PM If you can answer my question with " not at all " then the next part of your post is redundant . People joke because it does them more good than crying and weeping and wailing. I don't think the people who have died are too worried about decency and respect ...that's for the sanctimonious living . And if you think that the people who joke find it less appalling than those who don't you're right ..you really don't understand at all . ___________________________________ Message 408 of 504 in Discussion From: al-leaf Sent: 7/7/2005 2:50 PM There were some good jokes about Stuart Lubbock (sp?) who died in Barrymore's pool. I sure I can think of some other instances when some corkers came out. Leave it with me......................... ___________________________________ Message 409 of 504 in Discussion From: Kefteu1 Sent: 7/7/2005 2:51 PM Much of the 'humour' looks to me to be sarchastic in nature. The BBC reported that some extremist websites have reported London to be in a state of panic. De-moralising London is part of the plan. It isn't just an attack on London. It is an attack on Britain. Just like the Blitz, some people may prefer to deal with being attacked with sarchasm. ___________________________________ Message 410 of 504 in Discussion From: Lardinho Sent: 7/7/2005 2:52 PM To me, it looks like we came out of this rather well in comparison to what hit Bali, NYC and Madrid. If the numbers of dead are in the tens, and this is the worst they can do, then we're doing OK and they're not only pathetic in their actions and aims, but they're even pathetic in the size of the hit. I laugh in their faces and will piss on their graves. ___________________________________ Message 411 of 504 in Discussion From: K¨ªngofWessex Sent: 7/7/2005 2:52 PM Did corkers come out of Stuart Lubbock? ___________________________________ Message 412 of 504 in Discussion From: Mids Sent: 7/7/2005 2:52 PM I once shrieked with laughter upon hearing of a classmate's death. Hahahahahaha ___________________________________ Message 413 of 504 in Discussion From: Lendiantel Sent: 7/7/2005 2:52 PM I'm prone to overreacting in extremely stupid ways, like raging needlessly at your irritating and sanctimonious pomposity. If my view irritates you to that extent, it's probably because I've touched a nerve. We've all got to get through this life in some way or other. Agreed. I just happen to find your approach repugnant. Take it or leave it, that's a choice we each have. ___________________________________ Message 414 of 504 in Discussion Sent: 7/7/2005 2:53 PM This message has been deleted due to termination of membership. _________________________________ |

Message 415 of 504 in Discussion From: Dummy_half1 Sent: 7/7/2005 2:53 PM There has always been an element of black humour in the British. Perhaps though this is too soon and too close to home to start making jokes of it. ________________________________ Message 416 of 504 in Discussion From: dimps© Sent: 7/7/2005 2:53 PM We are all sat here in our central London office not sure how we are going to get home tonight, wondering if we will be safe when we do try and get home as well as worrying about friends and relatives....If a bit of humour helps the slight nervousness we have inside then I see no harm.

No, it's because I'm nervy anyway and would react to anything at the moment. I just happen to find your approach repugnant Fair enough. I know for a fact that I find certain views of yours repugnant.

I suppose they might have friends and family in London.

A senior policeman is giving an update on BBC just now. A reporter has asked for confirmation that a police sniper shot a potential suicide bomber at Canary Wharf. It was not confirmed. Forgive me for hoping it will be.

They'll have to try and find out if any of their family or friends were involved. That Kemal for example...

Canary Wharf has been evacuated. A friend of mine just tried to get the ferry over there and has been diverted to Greenwich instead.

Jon, the talk around here( not far away) is that a terrorist was shot in the Limehouse link(on the way to Canary Wharf) Can't confirm it but the traffic reports have not flagged it up as a closed area.

Hey, there's been every other sort of 'questionable post' on here today, so why shouldn't I ask that?
The war on terror isn't working.
There needs to be more done to infiltrate these organisations, not bombing countries in the hope of killing them off and creating more terrorist sympathisers in the process.
The UK is forever claiming they have tabs on known terrorist sympathisers living in the UK, yet here today the terrorists have gone about their business undetected.
So much for knowing who they are and where they're located.
The authorities don't appear to know as much as they hope people will think they do.
Excuse me if my criticism offends you.
I found the humour today offensive. Did anyone give a sh*t?
Well, now it's my turn to make a statement others might find less than agreeable.

I dont find it offensive at all, and your criticism even less so....
I think it is devisive and likely to incite further argument and hatred. I can only assume that is your mission in putting it there......and further assume that despite your earlier postings you are in fact now reflecting in the glory of a winning score....

Then your assumptions are incorrect.
I'm merely critical of the boast the UK government has made in the past, concerning it's handle on known terrorist groups within the UK, leading people to be less forceful in their calls for having them removed from the country.
Obviously the government didn't have such a wide net over those known terrorist groups, or they wouldn't have missed them going about their business today.
That's the criticism I have.
A war on terror is a lot more complicated than the government would like people to believe.
The person sat next to you on the tube could be a bomb carrying psychopath.
How would you know, until it was too late?
Telling people they're keeping a close eye on those groups is leading them into a false sense of security.
If they know people are associated with terrorist groups, then they should deal with them accordingly and isolate them from the public.

"Did you know that the bus bomb was detonated outside the offices of the British Medical Association? Apparently the doctors from there were out on the street doing what they could for the victims" Yes, I did catch that on tele. I am very much afraid the full story of the bus will be almost unbearable. There were children on board and there are without doubt fatalities. That they cannot yet be counted, points to an obvious horror. ________________________________ Message 504 of 504 in Discussion From: Rick_49 Sent: 7/7/2005 7:26 PM Sorry if somone has already posted this statement. This thread is moving too fast for me to keep up. "A screen grab shows a statement posted on an Islamist web forum by the previously unknown Al-Qaeda-linked group, 'The Organisation of Al-Qaeda Jihad in Europe', claiming the July 7, 2005 attacks in London. A group calling itself the 'Organisation of Al-Qaeda Jihad in Europe' has claimed responsibility for the attacks in London and threatened similar ones in Italy, Denmark and other countries with troops in Iraq and Afghanistan."'Al-Qaeda' group claims London attacks, threatens others I know this is unconfirmed yet, but for those who will say this happened because of the UK`s involvement in Iraq, the UK would have still been a target even if it had stayed out of Iraq.________________________________ |
