``But I'd say this is a wake up call from God,''
NO WAY. This was down to man and his wickedness alone... God did not and would not do this.
unbelievable.
this story just came across the associated press newswire this morning.

it's comforting to know that our religious nuts are taking a positive spin .

virginia beach, va. -- religious broadcaster pat robertson said tuesday's terror attacks occurred because americans have insulted god and lost the protection of heaven.. "we have imagined ourselves invulnerable and have been consumed by the pursuit of ... health, wealth, material pleasures and sexuality," robertson wrote in a three-page statement issued thursday by his christian broadcasting network.. "it (terrorism) is happening because god almighty is lifting his protection from us," said robertson.. you christians sure have some wonderful leaders!
True Christians only have ONE leader, and that is Christ.
All other so-called leaders are imposters.
and at risk of further appalling and perhaps even traumatizing some here... i must say that i wonder.... do you think this is what hiroshima 'felt' like for those victimized by it?
oh, ummmm... sorry, that's right: "they"... "deserved" it.
forgive me.
Shedding innocent blood is WRONG. It doesnt matter how it is done, how many are killed, be it 1 or 1,000,000. Whether its a 2 nukes dropped on Japan or 2 planes flown into the WTC, IT IS WRONG.
Both parties were fighting for a cause, but really, was there ANY NEED for the THOUSANDS of innocent lives to be taken?
These wars are between governments. The people who are having the arguements NEVER fight themselves, they, as Shelby said, hide behind the innocent civilians. They are COWARDS. They get to hide in nuclear bunkers all kitted out with survival stuff, while the common people who simply WANT TO GET ON WITH THEIR LIVES are slaughtered with little or no remorse on either sides.
If you cannot see how wrong war is, how wrong retaliation is, if you believe the US government were "justified" in nuking Japan, then, you are in need to wake up.
They need to detain the perpetrators to prevent this from happening again... but NEVER EVER at the expense of INNOCENT blood.

That site was a bit hard to read, the background was all strange.
i appreciate the words of another poster who commented that he felt it unwise to post in anger.
i have tried to hold calm and keep my anger in check, but that started to change with my nato posting yesterday.. i am set back over 30 years: i was raised to respect all races, and not to be prejudiced.
i was also raised a proud american, and that it was important not to tolerate bullies.
bboy
dont be such a fool.
1- is he really behind it?
2- any use of nukes will mean certain death for us all
3- evil begets evil
he should he locked up in maximum security whilst awaiting a proper trial and sentencing if he is guilty.
i have a friend who is a jw, and he stopped over a while back to visit me... that morning, my dog and i were playing, and he had scratched my forhead, and drawn blood... i thought nothing of it, and actually had forgotten all about it.
about 5 minutes after my friend came into the house and sat down, he noticed the scratches on my forehead, and was transfixed by them.. he asked how i got them, and that became his main focus for a good 10 minutes or so.. he just sat there and stared at them.. .
what the heck was he thinking about.. i know the bible says something about marks on the forhead, but i'm not too sure what that would mean, as i'm not too well versed in the bible??
Are you a baptised JW?
If not, not worry about it.
about not having hot water (burned out fuse), the tiny house i am currently staying in, my broken marriage, the lack of money i possess--thousands of people are dead and my complaints now seem so trivial and meaningless.
everything seems so meaningless now.
i couldn't even bring myself to go online today until now--no motivation.
This is getting to be a bit of a habit COMF, me agreeing with you.
Yes there is great tragedy, but, life goes on.

top story on the nationwide football site concerns the floated move of the london club wimbledon to the rural countryside town of milton keynes.. http://www.football.nationwide.co.uk/football/top/topstory.asp?id=21857.
i wonder what is so appealing about this rural setting.
why are corporate entities favouring a move there?.
it used to host Helter Skelter, the worlds biggest rave, but it no longer does
'dominates' earthling man... to his own injury.. there are two sides to this coin, dear ones, as there are two sides to every coin.
unfortunately, both 'sides' to this one... are sick... and the 'defect'... is theirs.
to the detriment of a great many 'innocent' people.
Shelby,
And I pray that you all take note of what can occur when man... HATES his fellow man... and finally concede to learn... to LOVE.
WHY does it have to be like this? Its not right.
I too hope that people will learn to LOVE from this experience. All this hatred is destroying everyone. Its not fair
