I just heard about the attacks in London and cannot say anything but that my prayers are with the families affected by the viscous act!

thanks Barry.

appreciate it.

Some Islamic terrorist branch based in Europe eh...

Hopefully Tony finds out exactly who did it, and gives the SAS a call.

I mark a few A level papers and one of the questions was 'Can it ever be right for one nation to interfere in the affairs of another?'

Many of the answers showed (understandably but regrettably) that there is a general belief that America invaded Iraq because Iraq were responsible for 9/11.

Bush has made no progress whatsoever in getting to the real men behind it.

oh yes France are terrorists, i even think its us who have placed the bombs...in fact it is France who was responsible for 11 september isnt it??
France voted against Iraq invasion because we think its unfair to invade someone for false reasons and murder innocent people...that's all...and by the way France has also had explosions in its subway 10 years ago at St Michel station that did hundreds of victims by an islamic terrorist group...
All im saying is Tony Blair has been acting like George Bush's pet and now innocent British are paying for his behavior...British people were against the war and Blair did not listen to them...

So when they have found american made weapons it means that the US was an Iraqi ally?

That's not going to help. There are UK-made weapons all over Iraq as well.

The French can take the moral high ground on Iraq, although they may not have the best record in history for invasions of various nations. But as a Brit I have to say that historically we don't come off on that score too well either. The Americans are hardly lily-white.

'You must have looked in the wrong places' sounds like a child saying 'ner ner, I'm in a secret club and you're not'. Clearly this is a battle being fought with weapons but a war being fought in minds. If they have evidence that can change minds, that has to be the most powerful weapon. Unless they don't.

Anyway, no real proof this was Al-Q anyway, although it looks like it...

Don't be stupid, Freiheit. From what I've heard, and maybe you've heard it, too, the Dutch are next on the list. Mmm-hmmm. It's true. You can either get smart and lock up the mosques now or blame it all on America when you get hit this time next year.

I have heard we or Italy will be next but I dont want to change my everyday life because of some threat that might not be true. And it not like the international terror fighting orgs. cant do their jobs, they prevented an attack on Paris and also in a couple of other places. They can prevent the first 49 attacks but not number 50.

So the 'smart' thing to do is to piss off the entire fecking religion when the majority of Muslims think these attacks are as abhorrent as the rest of the world does...

Do you, by any chance, work for the Bush administration?

Quite ironic that you started your post with the words "Don't be stupid."

I think you'll also find Freiheit to come from Denmark.

Seems like the original olympics thread is gone so Ill post it in here. Softball & Baseball is off the 2012 programme and it will be either golf, karate, rollerskate hockey the 7man version of rugby that will take its place on the programme.

congratulations professor X, u have earned the right to leave this forum where intelligent people belong, and go to the Current scene forum where retarded people hate the french and the muslims and suck on George W Bush's penis...

I think squash was also mentioned too, but that could just be the chosen 'demonstration' sport

Correct, forgot that one.

"Well, of course, they were"- Professor X

Have you ever heard of North Carolina, Raff?

We have found French made weapons all over Iraq. So you're there ally. No big deal. We've long known it.

What a pencil dick you are. I'm sure there are French weapons there, and American, and English too, it's called the international arms trade you moron.

For your information, it was the CIA who got Saddam into power in the first place, when they funded his military coup, so if anyone was his ally it's America you ignorant prick. The CIA provided provided list of people and aided Saddam with his purges, and armed him to fight Iran you fornicating mental midget.

Balls to golf (ho ho, do you see what ... never mind) and rollerskate hockey can fck right off, but karate, squash and rugby all have way more countries participating than baseball and softball.

Baseball would be a proper waste of time. Very specialised and large stadium with four people watching three countries decide the medals.

Actually, I don't think any sport should be part of the Olympics unless an Olympic gold is the ultimate in that particular endeavour. So I'd get rid of tennis and soccer as well. Try out rugby (and another one, ho ho) etc but if they don't cut the mustard within a couple of Games, get rid of them as well. No point having some people along for a jolly while the hockey players, say, are busting their nuts to win in their own minority sport.

Maybe it could make the same argument as I assume are made for archery, shooting (ie. the skill more than the athleticism) but I think golf would be rather a poor choice.

I'd go for karate or rugby probably. Not sure how squash holds up on the world scene - I'd argue you'd want the new sport to be as appealling and as widely-played accross as many countries as possible.

I think the fantastic world of darts are still serious about trying to get that into the Olympics. That would be quite a spectacle. Building a purpose-built pub for the event would be brilliant.

rollerskate hockey?

Just saw a sports program where they had something about rollerskate hockey. It was about FC Barcelona, they won the spanish league and the european cup. In europe its mostly played in Spain and Portugal.

Well it's all irrelevant now, as the IOC have voted not to replace baseball and softball. (squash and karate were the two shortlisted before being rejected)

Great. Does this mean the Isle of Dogs is going to be the new home of the Britain RedWhiteandBlueSox Baseball Diamond?

I bet the llamas at Mudchute City Farm are well chuffed.

Nah, Baseball is still out, it's just that there's nothing else coming in.

No, they're still getting rid of baseball and softball, just not putting other sports in their place
