London Blasts!

[Briosafreak]

Just two questions now:


-Is everyone from NMA that was at London o.k.?

-Any info on what really happened? The Sky and BBC coverages are at this time still a bit confusing, any word on what really happened and the number of casualties?

 

[Wild_qwerty]

not very good info so far but ...

- Toney Blair said it was a terrorist attack

- At least 6 confirmed blasts

- 90 casualtess and 2 fatilites from one blast (no further info as yet)


My condolences to you guys in the UK. Hope you nail the bastards responsible...


*EDIT*
A group called 'Jihad in Europe' has claimed responsibility, they claim to be a part of El Quada. Bunch of pig shagging homos!

 

[Silencer]

BBC Says police believe there were 7 blasts and that there are 10+ fatalities at King's Cross station. Oh my.

 

[Pope Viper]

My sympathies and condelences as well, having lost friends during the 9/11 attacks, I can well understand the confusion going on right now.

 

[Wild_qwerty]

What we need is a stand up war where we can blast the buggers!

Don't look all that surprised:

London Terrorist Attack Will `Eventually' Occur, Mayor Says
April 30 (Bloomberg) -- A terrorist attack in London will happen ``eventually,'' according to the city's mayor, Ken Livingstone.

There were seven terrorist attacks. That's one for each deadly sin the British have committed: lust (Posh Spice and her hubby), gluttony (mad cow disease), avarice (colonial past), sloth (aw, the British are just lazy), wrath (Iraq), envy (towards the French) and pride (the royal family).

That's not too bad.

Nah, seriously: it's a bad thing, man. I hope none of the Gallagher brothers got hurt...

Any crisis, large or small, can be dealt with in Britain
by following the standard government four-stage plan. The
press releases for this are as follows:

1. "We don't think there is a problem. No action needs
to be taken."

2. "There may be a slight problem, but it's not our place
to try to do anything about it."

3. "There may well be a problem, but we must consider all
possible courses of action and not rush into anything."

4. "Well, perhaps we could have done something, but it's
too late now!"

Great, now the Americans have another excuse to invade an arab nation.

 

[Pope Viper]

How about we just invade England? We can restore order, and protect them from the big bad terrorists.

I wonder which group will claim responsibility, is the IRA still a large threat over there?

 

[c0ldst33ltrs4u]

My condolences to all the guys from England, it's a sad day indeed.

Pope_viper, Wild_querty said it before: Jihad in Europe

 

[Pope Viper]

Yep, just saw he added that.

It also looks like they are warning Italy and Denmark.

[Wooz]

Come on, people. Everyone knows it's Godzilla that did it.

 

[welsh]

Sympathies go out to the English.

Those bastards deserve to burn in hell, again and again.

I hear the count is now 40 dead and hundreds wounded.

This is stupid and barbaric pointless waste of life. Do the extremists really cultivate any sympathy for this kind of thing? Do they do anything but create outrage and disgust, or foster a more pervasive distrust or prejudice against peaceful muslims?

These guys are barbaric pricks, and deserve to be burned for this.

 

[c0ldst33ltrs4u]

Note: I don't actually hope for more loss of individual life, it was just part of my point.

It's amazing to see so much compassion packed in one phrase...
Have some respect for the victims will you! What if this was your town? Would you wish for it to happen more often? What are you? Some kind of sociopath?

I HATE LIBERALS AND EUROPEANS YET AM TOO CLUELESS AND UNEDUCATED TO OFFER ANY REASONABLE ARGUMENTATION OTHER THAN THE PROVERBIAL AND IMBECILIC "THEY DON'T SUPPORT OUR INVASIONS OF SOVEREIGN COUNTRIES, HENCE THEY ARE EVIL!!!11"!!!

 

[mvBarracuda]

Good, now this just needs to happen more throughout Europe.

It will become harder and harder for the liberals to cover for these bastards. The liberals claim they are peaceful and attack only if provoked, as to claim otherwise would be racist of course. Well, this attack and more will eventually go to show.

Perhaps someday you Europeans will wake up and realise you have the threat right in your back yard.

Note: I don't actually hope for more loss of individual life, it was just part of my point.

Wow an amazing redneck post

Maybe you thought about that GB was attacked not because they tried to achieve peace with the arabic states but because they supported the US unilateral plan to invade iraq.

 

[Wooz]

Warsaw had a huge bomb alert in the subway and all the city center about a month ago. Nobody talked about it in the news, though. If I wasn't there, I wouldn't have known.

 

[Quantos Leap]

See, this reaction is exactly what I'm talking about.

For example: Ratty's only post on this tread is not about his opinion, condolences or overall commentary on the attacks, but a personal attack on me for not being politically correct with the terrorists.

For the people too moronic to understand my point the first time around, here it is:

I DON'T WANT MORE EUROPEANS TO DIE AT THE HANDS OF THE TERRORISTS, BUT I KNOW MORE WILL UNFORTUNATELY; LETS HOPE THEIR SUPRISINGLY HIGH PUBLIC OPINION IN EUROPE WILL FALL AS A RESULT!

No, he attacked for your being idiotic enough to say:

Good, now this just needs to happen more throughout Europe.

Which rightly pissed him off.

As well as your being absolutely clueless about liberals:

It will become harder and harder for the liberals to cover for these bastards. The liberals claim they are peaceful and attack only if provoked, as to claim otherwise would be racist of course. Well, this attack and more will eventually go to show.

Liberals never claimed that (well, no liberal I have ever heard of, and I'm UU-Ro-Peon, so as you said, there's a lot of liberals here), what they do claim, and will continue to claim since it's so bloody obvious, is that aggression fuels the terrorist fires and serves to increase their support amongst (mainly) Islamic people. This can be observed quite clearly in current-day Iraq. And as a consequence of that, there is the liberal claim that more understanding and mitigating policies towards people of the middle-east will lead to a decrease in terrorists, because it will lead to more understanding and sympathies from those people, and hence decrease support for terrorists.
Whether this is correct is impossible to determine right now, since chances are it's too late for that.

I DON'T WANT MORE EUROPEANS TO DIE AT THE HANDS OF THE TERRORISTS, BUT I KNOW MORE WILL UNFORTUNATELY; LETS HOPE THEIR SUPRISINGLY HIGH PUBLIC OPINION IN EUROPE WILL FALL AS A RESULT!

If you'd know a bit Europe you'd know the complete silliness of this sentence. For one, the term 'liberal' is incredibly ill-defined, and in popular American use, as I understand it, generally means 'non-conservative'. The conservative viewpoint, however, is one not suited for Europe in general (although some particular countries might ascribe to it sooner), since the state of mind of the European is vastly different from the American state of mind, due to a lot of circumstances. Basically speaking: few people here like or ascribe to the American conservative mindset or want to, while that mindset is highly popular in the USA, it is simply not-suited for Europe.
