Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London

M3rk1n_Muffl3y writes "There were six explosions around London this morning. Information is still emerging, but looks like there were bombs detonated on a bus near Russel Square and several others on the Underground around the City and King's Cross. It's been difficult to reach people on their mobiles."

    BTW , I am sure you mean Etats-Unians.

    I'm sick of reading your posts! Yes, it's silly that the US calls themselves America when it is in fact the name of several continents. BUT, you're not helping because you're incoherent.

    Nobody knows what Etats-Unians means unless they speak french also... and since this is an anglophone site very few people will understand you.

    So, if you want to raise awareness about this misappropriation of a name, express yourself clearly to your target audience! Otherwise, you will not be taken seriously... and I know for a fact you're not taken seriously because I've seen your posts and their replies on /. before... In fact, I've replied to your nonsense in the past!

    In conclusion:
    -you, stop making an ass of yourself
    -US, please notice calling yourself "America" basically takes that title away from Canadians and South Americans.

    ---

    Side note, in many countries (my experience is in the continent of Africa) a lot of people don't know the difference between "North America" and "America," so the arrogance associated with the US is often applied to Canadians without reason.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not crying to you in the hopes a whole nation will read this post and change the way they address themselves. I don't give a shit what you guys call each other... it's just silly.

  4. The definition of fanaticism... by composer777 · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    is if you find yourself going in the wrong direction, you double your speed. The war in Iraq has gotten us these results so far, and instead of pulling back, we double our speed, just brilliant. The obvious solution is to pull our troops out, but I doubt fanatics like you would ever figure that one out.

    It reminds me of the drug war, which has made very little real progress, other than locking some people up, but if you ever ask a DEA agent, they'll tell you the lack of progress is a sign that we need to dedicate even MORE resources to the effort, not that it's a failed policy.

  5. Abortion is not a good example by linzeal · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    We should outlaw abortion because it is skewing populations in industrialized nations to the point where Japan has no idea how they will take care of nearly 30% of the population when they hit their 60's. We should outlaw abortion because it is cheaper to provide free contraception. We should outlaw abortion because ~10,000 abortions per year are done on 6 month old children. We should outlaw abortion because in the future with better contraception it will be considered murder by everyone. We should outlaw abortion because we are more civilized than Sparta where they left the weak children to die of exposure on the side of mountains.

    If I ever run for president I say, free contraception for both males and females!

  6. Paul Hill by bayers · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Paul Hill was a kind and gentle man who looked like he could be your dentist. One day he bought a shotgun and gunned down an abortionist and his bodyguard in cold blood. Paul Hill had prayed with his prayer group and came to the conclusion that God wanted these people dead.

    Paul Hill knew full well the State of Florida would execute him because of his actions. He died on the gurny, with a leathal drip in his arm. He was surrounded by members of his prayer group. They were all crying. They were crying because Paul was going to heaven. They were crying tears of joy.

    Paul Hill believed that God's law took precidence over man's law.
