explosions at the boston marathon

[DaGaffer]

This.

This also irks me about natural disasters. I thought god was in charge of all that shit? And he made it happen? And you're mumbling to him even more as a direct result? Gotcha.

Theologians weasel out of that shit all the time.

I think there's going to be a backlash on muslims regardless of whether it was them or not. - In fact I think muslims in the US have probably been having a hard time for the past 12 years (and more).

Asians had a terrible time there during WWII, which is somewhat ironic given that some of them may have been in the US longer than the people giving them a hard time. people = sheep.

Pub quiz last night, the runner up team was called "The Boston TNT Party". Quizmaster denied them their prize for utter poor taste. I secretly loved it.

They don't read enough David Hume.

I guess were looking at explosive detectors everywhere and any event with more than two people being covered by multiple hd cameras...basically full airport security at every event..probably tied in with electronic tagging..nothing that isnt happening anyway tbh.

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

Am i the only one that thinks that there's a difference between a car accident and a planted bomb?

Yeh, its pretty much why I disregard most of what Chilly writes on these forums.

We should accept them as inevitable. The police carry on policing, but you don't bring in new security clampdowns that cost billions because they won't work. In every human endeavor there's going to be risk. If we start trying to take all the risk out of walking down the street (think about it, these bombs didn't have to be at an event, normal rush hour would do), we're just going to tie ourselves into knots for no practical gain.

Eeh, i don't know about that.

That's the same as saying there's no point with paying attention to traffic before you cross the road because chances are you'll get run over anyway...

No it isn't. Its that same as saying there's no point in putting an electric fence along the pavement to stop people trying...

 

[Ctuchik]

Ah! But if we treat getting run over as inevitable........

 

[DaGaffer]

Ah! But if we treat getting run over as inevitable........

No, you except a degree of getting run overness as inevitable.

Wonder if Obama will go and make a speech at the explosion in Texas, or would that be a waste of time, because they won't be able to mention the T word?

Would be quite hard to mention the explosion in Texas without mentioning Texas.

 

[Gwadien]

Would be quite hard to mention the explosion in Texas without mentioning Texas.

Only the indicating factor would allow for SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Everyone should be afraid of fertilizer now.

 

[CorNokZ]

Everyone should be afraid of fertilizer now.

It should be banned actually

 

[Ctuchik]

Everyone should be afraid of fertilizer now.

Considering what it's made out of, i don't see why not...

 

[Job]

I remember making fertiliser bombs..you mixed it with sugar, which was so confusing because they both looked exactly the same and you ended up dipping your finger and tasting to be sure which was stupid really' because the fertiliser was poisonous.

 

[Raven]

You must buy some cheap sugar.

 

[Aoami]

Potassium, sugar. Tomato, tomato.

Boston Globe confirms one of the bomb suspects is in custody after a chase and a policeman was shot dead. I might be wrong, I just woke up and had loads of information in a very short time.

San Francisco's Airport has also been evacuated...

 

[rynnor]

I dont think it has truly been confirmed if the guy they took after a gunfight last night is related to the marathon bombings - he could be I just dont think its confirmed yet.

 

[Mabs]

few americans i was talking to were mentioning a saudi person ? but that sounded like fox news knee-jerk to me

One suspect killed, one at large, the one in custody has been released.

 

[rynnor]

I wonder if they were both Students at MIT?

Damn this is awesome popcorn stuff, police shootouts, plants blowing up and bombs going off.

It all happens in America.

 

[old.Tohtori]

I can't say i like the notion of people getting hurt and being scared for their lives being "popcorn stuff".

 

[Aada]

30k people basically told not go outside and the town is in lockdown.

 

[DaGaffer]

I can't say i like the notion of people getting hurt and being scared for their lives being "popcorn stuff".

But...

 

[Fafnir]

Its been confirmed that the killed suspect is one of the marathon bombers
