London Bombings, 1 year on

[eggy]

For anyone interested, there are profiles on the BBC website of all 52 people who died 52 weeks ago in the horrific London transport bombings, 7th July 2005.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/uk/05/london_blasts/victims/default.stm

So if you're bored at work today, or have 5 mintues spare; instead of browsing around at youtube.com, have a read and spare a thought for some of the people who were killed.

That is all.

One year before we lived the same situation here in Madrid with 192 dead people, my thoughts are with them and of course with those killed in London one year ago

Sad stuff best be on are guard today

 

[Chronictank]

Sad stuff best be on are guard today

why :s, its the same as yesterday
this isn't flame bait, i am genuinley intregued why people say that since to be very honest you are more likely to be stabbed in london by a crack addict than involved in a terrorist action

 

[Thadius]

Terrorism is pathetic

Oh look, they dont agree with us, lets go murder some innocent civilians mkay?


If they wanted to punish the government, they should go terrorise the army.

 

[elisera]

Alot of the time they don't want to punish the government though, they want to punish everyone who thinks differently from them and to to draw attention to their cause.. Sadly things like this have been going on for years in different forms and I don't think we will see an end to it in our lifetime..

 

[eggy]

Bunch of idiots. Personally doesn't make me attracted to their cause, or give me any incentive to understand them better.

Just incites an increase in racism towards innocent, hard-working people of the same racial origin.

Killing yourself along with your victims in avoidance of guilt and shame afterwards is just cowardly.

Truly pathetic.

 

[Vertz]

Sad indeed reading some of the info about people, some good people died that day.

 

[old.Tohtori]

I would like to discuss terrorism and the "bad" factor of it all, but i decide on being sympathic (go figure) and just send out some strength of the old to all te families affected by this.

 

[Hansmoleman]

the one thing i dont get, they said 52 died, well thats not that many people, im sure more die daily of other things but dont get minute silences or such?

 

[Vertz]

the one thing i dont get, they said 52 died, well thats not that many people, im sure more die daily of other things but dont get minute silences or such?

Oh is there a threshold on the amount of people that die before you can show some respect?

 

[Behmoth]

the one thing i dont get, they said 52 died, well thats not that many people, im sure more die daily of other things but dont get minute silences or such?

yes but they were unessary deaths because of some one has different views than someone else remeber no one even asked the dead and injured if they even agree with the war against afganistan and iraq. senseless death by a bunch of cowards who are scared to stand up in public about their convictions

 

[Thorondorito]

the one thing i dont get, they said 52 died, well thats not that many people, im sure more die daily of other things but dont get minute silences or such?

41 in Valencia the other day in an underground accident... but that's not the same case...

People die of illness', accidents, disasters, etc... BUT the difference with this is that this is provoked (sp) it's the same thing (which I cant understand too) why people start fire on the woods... that's not an accident ffs!

You are considering terrorism in the same way as natural disasters or accidents are... and sorry but you are wrong...

 

[eggy]

the one thing i dont get, they said 52 died, well thats not that many people, im sure more die daily of other things but dont get minute silences or such?

Tell that to the 700+ that were injured, including those who lost limbs.

 

[Hansmoleman]

Oh is there a threshold on the amount of people that die before you can show some respect?

i never said i wont show respect i just said i dont get it.

 

[Chrystina]

how about the guy who got shot in the head 7 times or so by the police a few days after? does he also get some minutes of silence to reflect? :touch:

 

[Infanity]

Right I'll give you an example mate and put it sharp.

Cancer is an illness, It takes lives and alot of people have and still will die from it.

Terrorism is NOT an illness, It takes lives for no reason and people are horrified by it.

You see what i mean ?

people can not chose if they get cancer or not

people can chose to blow themselves + others up

yeah just like England did in Iraq?

Bunch of idiots. Personally doesn't make me attracted to their cause, or give me any incentive to understand them better.

Just incites an increase in racism towards innocent, hard-working people of the same racial origin.

so, to you it creates more racial hate towards the fanatic? not just hate towards the fanatic?

anyway, ill keep it clean now if the rest will because this truely is sad and like every act of war and terror it should be condempt (spelling?)

 

[Dorimor1]

the one thing i dont get, they said 52 died, well thats not that many people, im sure more die daily of other things but dont get minute silences or such?

The many others who were injured and cannot walk again? Or other fatal injuries? The families affected by the bombings?

 

[Adlatus Hellbringer]

It wasnt just England who went in. It was Great britain. Aswell as the USA. We went in to stop a dictating tyrant who had caused mass genocide and countless other atrocities. Not to mention breaking God knows how many Unitied Nations rules. Now hes not in power the people of Iraq have a real chance of making something out of their country. Even though its proving hard to police atm it is surely the start of something better.

 

[Adlatus Hellbringer]

Would you rather sadam was still in power?

 

[Bugz]

Guys, stfu and pay respect.

 

[Infanity]

Lol, Smoking etc fair enough. Many have cancerous cells which develop.

Its not like "Hey mates, Im gonna go get cancer today wanna come ?"

Aye people think Saddam was a nice friendly bloke mates!

Fucks me right off these people saying it was wrong to go in, Korea will be next

 

[Adlatus Hellbringer]

Guys, stfu and pay respect.

How about u pay a little fuking respect? I actually stopped working at 12 today and observed a 2 minute silence. A friend of mine died during 9/11 and ive paid a lot of respect thank u. If someone is gonna come on here and start coming out with an anti US/UK argument im going to respond because I firmly believe it was a good decision to go into Iraq.

From your comment it seems like we should pay respect just cos its the right thing to do without actually thinking about it.

Rather a load of extrememists die than a busload of children on thier way to school

TBH I think the way the world portrays America after the Iraq fiasco, invading Korea would be the last straw on the camels back.

If America did take it upon themselves, I would predict a couple of things would happen, 1 being the rest of the world saying "Fuck off and fight your own war." & a LOT more terrorist attacks vs the US.

Attacking N. Korea would be one of the most foolish decisions ever.
