I love the way you are pushing me towards violence... It's something I think I owe the world actually, and you're probably right, I probably shut make her bite the kirb.

Yea, I mean she knew what the shirts meant to you, right? She's only doing it to piss you off
I dont hit women unless they're really asking for it.. and she's like begging for it

@Taliesin: How many women had You hit?

 

[Schwedentod]

KC: Meet her, take her in your arms, have some good time (not talking about sex right now). To me it's important to have someone to take in my arms without saying a single word from time to time.

I don't know any reason to hit a woman, not many reasons to hit a man. Violence is unnessesary.

NF: Having a coffe right now and will start to learn in some minutes. Lot's to to, but the first step is taken and I'll have to go on for only some more days.
Got into Machine Head within the last days. Was very impressed last year at the RockHard, but didn't manage to buy an album. Now a friend gave me a CD-R with something like a best-of and the "Through the Ashes of Empires"-album. Great! Think I'll need some money to buy some of this shit... What do you think of this band?

@Taliesin: How many women had You hit?

I think Ive only hit one person in my whole life, and it wasnt a woman
Ím just saying it's stupid to say "I dont hit women!" when some so deserve it

 

[solefald]

NF:not good, just hearded about these explosions in london, damn terrorists...

 

[King Chaos]

Fact/NF: My country is under attack and my new lady friend would have been blown up if she hadn't slept in . Bombs are blowing up all over london. This isn't good.

 

[YaYo]

Glad you and your lady friend are ok KC. Crazy stuff.

 

[fireangel]

Fact/NF: My country is under attack

See here:
Human Rights Watch


Not that I like any kind of explosions, no matter in which country. But for now it does not look like anyone already knows what is the reason. Might aswell be IRA or any other organization within Britain.

 

[Taliesin]

What I find especially scary is how many racist tendencies people reveal in situations like that. CoB fans may never have been the brightest, but several people are suggesting to throw every arab out of the UK.
I know it's a controversial subject, but the war on Iraq remains an international crime, the reasons are doubtful and backed up by constructed evidence. Sure there are positive aspects, but one fact is that the civilian casualties were between 8.000 and 10.000, so why isnt anyone putting himself in their shoes? Now London is under attack and everyone like "Boohoo, boohoo..". This is what living in Bagdad feels like for over a year now thanks to the mess the US has created
Im in no way defending terrorism but it makes me sick to see people weigh things on different scales

 

[Northern Lights]

A simple fact, and as there has been a recent debate about psychology here it should be obvious: we connect to things that are familiar to us. We recognise that we and people that live in Madrid, New York and London have similar ways of life, have similar ideas, a similar society. It is close to us. Some of us have even visited the cities affected, may even have lived there for a period of time. THAT is why people feel more affected when people die in London than when they die in Baghdad. I'm not saying this is a great and right and just or anything like that, but that's the way it is.
But yeah, let's just not give a fuck when anyone dies, anywhere. It's much more equal and just that way.

 

[fireangel]

NL: not always that way. There is practially civil war in Spain (Basque Area) or Northern Ireland. There are plenty of Human Rights Violations in Turkey, especially on the countryside women are FAR from equal rights, and farm-workers are a piece to throw on landlords maps. This all is not so far from us. Still no-one bothers. Besides, there was this radioactive mishap in Sellafield (UK) last month, haven´t heard much more about it than if it would have been in Kazachstan, even though it was a serious one, poisoning the North Sea and us all.

 

[marduk1507]

I wonder when has any country in western (and eastern, too) europe ever really bothered about anything. Remember former yugoslavia? Sarayevo was under siege for three years, snipers were shooting people like duck, not mentioning all those massacres on both (but esp. on serbian) sides. The US bombs ended it and suddenly everybody gave a fuck - wtf do those yanks think, bombing our brothers and sisters in yugoslavia? Yeah, iraq was something different, but this stupid selective perception of european countries pisses me off!

 

[King Chaos]

It seems pretty fucked up that you're choosing to have this debate right now. The fact is people don't often come to my country and start annhilating men women and children. Taliesin, do you think When the US or the UK go to Iraq, they bomb the shit out of civilians in the main cities? Like it or not it was on the agenda to help the civilians in Iraq, some said it was freeing them. War is war, and it should not be mixed up with terrorism. Distant members of my family are down in London, I have many friends in london and my friends have many friends in London. I dont have many friends in Afghanistan or Iraq.
Be as apathetic as you want, I couldn't care less. But personally this sort of heinous attack aimed at perfectly innocent civilians strikes a bit of a chord with me. Still, I'm not gonna start pointing fingers or saying "Bomb all Islam"... cos it won't solve anything, but nor will their stratergies.

 

[Hitori]

do you think When the US or the UK go to Iraq, they bomb the shit out of civilians in the main cities?

uhhhh, yeah

taling about apathetic, I seem to recall a certain someone saying he was sick of talk of the tsunami victims, as the areas affected were too far away and nameless faceless people were of no importance to him. Maybe this will change the way he sees international tragedies in the future?

 

[Thanatos]

War is war, and it should not be mixed up with terrorism.

war is your country sending troops to a distant land and having all the cassualties and destruction happen there, and terrorism is when it happens at home?

 

[King Chaos]

uhhhh, yeah

No it won't. 'Cos I've already made it clear my concern is that I know people who are in London. Plus a tsunami is a natural disaster. If I died by natures smiting then I wouldn't be bitter in my grave. This is people killing people though. If some guy blew me up because he was upset about what some governments are doing, I'd be very very bitter in my grave.

An example, I remember being even more upset and emotionally hit by the attack on the world trade centres. I didn't know anyone in Newyork at the time though, but it was the terrorist principal that outraged me.

Oh and by the way. FUCK OFF!

 

[Hitori]

no I won't you little emotional wreck

I have friends in London too and I care about what happened. But you have no right to tell people off for "having this discussion" and accusing others of being apathetic about what happened in your country, when you have been apathetic about what happened in others, too. Double standards if I ever saw some.
