    Maybe I should clear that statement up, I meant that they tending to give general warning that they're gonna be blowing shit up. If the IRA was to suddenly blow something up today, we'd all be surprised. Most likely we'd expect them to make some kind of statement saying 'fuck the ceasefire' in so many words. Then in a few hours maybe days or weeks, they'll blow something up. Were as this attack was hardly announced in this way.

    This isn't the prevent guns, its to prevent, sposively bombs. Trying to kill people on a crowded subway train with a pistol would be retarded. You might get 2 shots off before someone decides to be a hero and tackles you. Clearly a bomb or other explosive is the only choise. And while its most likely going to be possible to defeat these machines, it will provide superficial security, and thats what counts. If the terrorists hit something else next time, then weve done our job!

    Because in this case over reporting benifited the governments agenda, while during the IRA's peak, reporting on there activities only hurt them. It sparked debate on the subject, and that makes at least some people mention the fair share of atrocities commited by the Brittish Government (bloody sunday, loughall etc).

  13. Re:Hype it up! on Body Scanners for the London Underground · · Score: 1, Interesting

    The IRA also did a very different kind of 'terrorism', they gave warnings in almost all cases, so it wasn't exactly big news when it happened. They tending to hit buildings instead of people (sure people died, but not in concentrated numbers like this case, in most situations). And besides, if they reported heavily on the IRA activities, it would lead to debate on the topic, and since England has more then its fair share of atrocities on that topic, they certainly don't like to spark debate. The other issue is that the IRA was a 'brittish only' issue, were as middle eastern terrorists are obviously going to reported more heavily on in the American media, which makes everything seem far far larger scale.

    Have you ever used bittorrent... or downloaded from a website for that matter? bittorent speeds are no where near close in any way shape or form, by any stretch of anyones imagination ever, for any reason, to normal direct download speeds. Its just for cheap companies and ultra high downloaded/large/'discounted' files

    Why don't you think about what yoy just said. A 'race', being faster is a way of proving your superiority, this is a common drive of man kind, to be better then your fellow man (so that all the women want to mate with you....) but the last time I checked, women arn't very attracted to memorizing PI. Wanting to be the fastest, strongest, best is deeply entrenched in the human phyke for that reason, but this guy should be shot for wasting his life.
