Title: Attacks on Mumbai
Post by: Joker on November 28, 2008, 03:53:05 PM
Well i\'m sure you\'ve all seen on the news over the past couple of days about the heavily armed and well trained terrorists that took over some of the biggest hotels in Mumbai, targeting westerners and Brits.

Terrible stuff. Specifically asking for tourists with American and British passports. Targeting civilians is the most cowardly thing you can do, makes me sick.

Now theres news of Russia looking to develop new missiles in response to the US wanting to place a missile system in poland

Pessimism isn\'t my thing...but the world is looking more and more rough everyday.

Those people are idiots.... yeah they asked for american & british passports, but they also killed off alot of other people in the process..and for what?,...that s**t makes absolutely no sense...blow s**t up, kill people and cause mass chaos...then go home watch the news and jerk off to it?....f**kin\' idiots need to get a real job and stop being a real pain in the ass to people that just want to live and enjoy their lives...the only real bright spot here is that i heard the local authorites killed all of them.

The thing is Clips is these people are bread from an early age to hate certain types of people and that it is an honor to go out and kill themselves or risk there lives to harm westerners or threats to their culture. Unfortunately this is a battle that has been going on for years and probably will continue until the end of man or it ends mankind :(

Tru enough...and i understand that some of these groups actually do these kinds of acts because of policies that are in place with the u.s. and other developed countries,..some policies which are actually unfair to them...so there is a small group of folks that believe that this form of violence is the only way to make people hear them.

But i do feel that the majority of these groups don\'t want peace at all and just want to cause death and chaos just because they can and it\'s either their way or the highway.(i know the same can be said of some u.s. policies) but overall most of these groups live for the very reasons you mentioned above and are willing to give their lives for it.....no matter how idiotic their reasons may be.

Yeah.  Me too.  "Blame" is a much better word than "credit."
