    I saw a very interesting mural in San Francisco where it said: Death on 9/11 3,500 (they had the exact number) - Civilians killed in Afghanistan in the first two weeks of bombing 3,800 (again they had an exact number) = 300 IOU?

    THAT is sort of the point I was making.

     

    (I notice that overnight I have gone from Firing Squad Commander to Shipman. Is that something that happens when you reach 261 posts?)

    What a co-incidence, Milwall - so did I!

     

    OK point taken - I just find it irritating when people take the knee-jerk(mainly anti-US) view that Western countries killing civilians accidently during a war against combatants are as "guilty" as a terrorist who deliberately targets civilians.

     

    Anyway, point made...enough!

    Without spending a lot of time looking, I seem to recall he issued a video last year just prior to the US Elections. In it, he 'namechecked' Bush and Kerry, meaning that the video would have been shot after the first quarter of the year, when Kerry was picked as the Democrat candidate.  Up until then, it wasn't certain he would be picked...

    Presumably it would have been beyond him to record a few versions with variations on Bushie's potential opposite number a earlier.

     

    Now, if he'd have had the common decency to hold up a copy of The Sun or Sunday Sport, then that would have settled it. Maybe if he's still around, he'll think to do it next time after reading this post.

    Yes I agree with that - if he is alive it wouldn't be difficult to prove it by holding a paper or whatever - I'd have thought it would be entirely in his interest to prove he was alive. Or maybe he's just so fu*king mental he can't work that out.

     

    Anyway, I thought he had some sort of kidney problem and needs dialysis - which must be really easy to arrange in a bloody Pakistani cave.

     

    Regarding the earlier post, I too have a morbid fear of technology - or at least of Dixons - and frequently wake up screaming imagining myself being chased by spotty guys in blue polo shirts saying "Nah, I doesn't work in TVs, innit", "We can deliver on Fursday week between 8 in da morning and 10 at nigh' ", and "Djoo wanna guantee wivvat?"

    A tragedy-yes. A massive failure by the Security Services of the U.S. government-yes. Put into the shade by all the innocent people killed by the U.S. over the years-yes.

    I hate to spoil a good Spart-ish rant but when exactly has the US deliberately set out to kill over 3,000 non-combatants to make a "political" point? I agree that US/UK intervention has indirectly led to plenty of civilian deaths but I think "putting 9/11 in the shade" is wildly over-stating the case.

     

    Do you really believe that there is a moral equivalence between Bush and Bin-Laden? Or perhaps between a tube-bomber in London and the officer who shot the Brazilian chap in error? You must have a very strange outlook on life if so...

    Vietnam, Cambodia, Korea, Libya, Iraq, Lebbannon, El Salvodaor, and Nicaragua spring to mind.

    I'm bored with this argument because it's irrelevant to the site, but do read my original post:

     

    "...when exactly has the US deliberately set out to kill over 3,000 non-combatants...".

     

    I agree the US has never been overly concerned about "collateral" damage (or even blowing its own allies to shreds in virtually every war it's been involved in) but I do think there is a world of difference between (a.) killing non-combatants through negligence or even recklessness while fighting genuine combatants (eg Vietcong, Sandinistas, Al Quaeda etc, and (b.) fighting a war by deliberately targetting non-combatants, eg 9/11, the IRA, Palestinian suicide bombers etc.

     

    You're obviously quite entitled to disagree with the distinction. I just think it must make for a very peculiar view of the world when if you think everyone has the right to kill anybody because you don't like other people's religion, society or politics.

     

    Just out of interest, do you think that bombing London to further a Nazi victory in WW2 was more, less or equally blameworthy than bombing Dresden as part of the fight to defeat Hitler?

    If we are to be prevented in destroying areas of natural beauty by the cunning use of £1.99 garage flowers - where should we allow people to build their shrines?

    I've always thought something should be done about those road-side chav-shrines where some twat of a boy-racer has pranged his 205 and the family has lashed the overweight, acne-ridden, drunken dickhead's football shirt to a lampost with a couple of £1.99 bouquets.

     

    Perhaps a better and more socially useful approach would be to suspend the body (or bodies if his fu*kwitted mates and tattoed girlfriend were in the car too) from the lampost in some sort of medieval gibbet. Might make his peers think twice before they overtake on the inside at 90 mph....

    I'm sure Bin Laden's been under a couple of thousand tons of Afghan mountain since 2001 - otherwise why hasn't he done more of his "happy-snap" video shoots where it actually appears to be him doing it? Maybe he has logistical problems..."Oi Hassan, pop into Dixons next time you're in Peshawar and get some new f*ckin batteries for the video. Oh, and we've run out of tonic"

    Simon Jones, England (and Wales') suprise success of the series could be observed 'Doing the Ayatollah' after taking a wicket. This is a celebration started by Cardiff City fans in reference to the mourners at the funeral of Ayatollah Khomeni, and involves slapping ones' head with both hands.

     

    None more Welsh than that...

    You're just a fund of useful Welsh sporting trivia aren't you, old chap? You'l be telling me you know Gavin's mobile number next...the Missus has offered sexual favours if i can find out what it is....

    You're OK there Sir, it's the England and Wales team that have recently won the Ashes. Scotland and Ireland (Eire and N.Ireland combined) have their own not as good sides, although Ireland beat the West Indies some time back I remember.

    Well, I never knew that before. I feel happier for having that cleared up and will remain unpollutedly Welsh in my sporting affiliations herafter...

    Be the people on LP7's list one or several persons somehow connected with Weatherman90 or not, it must be food for thought for them that they should end up all tarred with the same brush in this way.

     

    There is no smoke without some sort of fire, usually.

    Actually, I'm nearly all of the people on this site writing under different names since I started it years ago.

     

    That includes the people who write in and say it's deviant and weird to have a death website.

     

    And the unregistered ones.

     

    I said "nearly all" because you, O reader, are the only one who's been allowed to join and post.

     

     

    I just had to tell you eventually.

     

    Creepy, eh?

    Remind me when Wales last won anything of consequence. 

    I think I recall a small matter of the Grand Slam earlier this year when England were HUMILIATED by the boyos!!!!!!

     

    However, I proudly put on my England hat for cricket (I'm about 50/50 Welsh/English) since there's not much fun in suppporting the Welsh cricket team (is there one? Glamorgan?)

     

    I saw the bus leaving Mansion House with all the guys on board - fantastic roar when Vaughny got on the roof with (the astoundingly pregnant) Mrs V. Bigger cheer when Pietersen lifted a huge half-drunk jug of beer - and biggest shout of all when Freddie got on looking horribly ill. I think everyone was wondering if he was going to toss his biscuits down the front of the bus....

     

    Great, great occasion - good luck to them!

     

    Presumably I was somewhere near you, I see dead people?

    Oh God - sorry, sorry just checked and it was John Curry who died - mea culpa, mea culpa...

     

    Mind you, I believe Mr Cousins is a "bachelor" so even tho he is only 48 he may have got around a bit in the late-70s-80s - possibly may have contracted certain then-unknown and ultimately fatal ailments.

    I remember Richard when he was Dick Turpin, the highwayman, I had a huge crush on him then (come on I was only 10/ 11 years old!). I had pictures of him cut from newspapers adorning my bedroom walls next to the ones of Christopher Reeve as Superman (another crush), they were joined in early 1980 by Robin Cousins(!!!), so with Chris dead and Richard on the way out, perhaps Robin's days might be numbered?

    I think you'll find Robin Cousins died of, shall we say, an excess of happiness about 10 years ago....

    That's British cows then. When it rains Dutch cows turn their arse in the wind and go on with their business.

    From what I hear from a mate of mine who works for a Dutch bank, his management do that too...

    That doesn't surprise me a bit. Of course, their business consists mostly of lunch and dinner.

     

    regards,

    Hein

    How do you get 12 Dutch bankers in a Mini?

     

    Promote one and the other eleven will crawl up his arse...
