This is really bad news. Haven’t been on the forum for a while but i’m deeply saddened by this news. God-speed, steve

I stopped reading books since they are too heavy to read them in a wheelbarrow. So I switched to tabloids. Angelina Jolie is moving in with brad pitt.

Ben, what the hell were you doing in a wheelbarrow?!? 😀

moving bricks!!! :diablo: :diablo: But boss said it was OK. He told me there was little to do but I said I didn’t mind. However, days are going slowly. 🙁 The only thing they expect me to do is to whistle when a good looking woman is crossing the street :D. But I can’t complain, it beats folding boxes. 🙂 And I get a nice tan (if it doesn’t rain).

Robbie Williams I once heard ???

Yeah the art behind is that people do buy this stuff and pay a lot for it. That’s art!!!

In the S.M.A.K. in Ghent (contemporary art) there’s a machine which makes **** Really!! I think you pay 20 euro’s for a pile of ***. :diablo: And people buy this and place it in their doorway. 😀

EDIT for MOD — **** = human excrements

Well started my summer-holiday job today to pay for my trip to Namibia next month. I earn a nice 10 euro’s an hour sitting outside enjoying the weather :D. I even fell asleep in a wheelbarrow this afternoon when it started to rain (which IMHO is an excellent replacement for your regular couch). However, I wish I could do more but there’s just little work left for me. 😎

Well, we are not “at war”. Or else, the UK would have been at war since the very day it existed because terrorism has always existed and will continue to exist, be it muslim-extremists or the IRA. War is when a state of war is declared, which has not happened yet. Using the word War too often may result in undemocratic scenario’s where the leaders ask too much power from parliament.

I’m not minimising this terrorist thread, in contrary. But to call it a war, that is one bridge too far IMHO. Actually that is what these terrorist try to achieve, to bring us into a permanent state of war where everyone is scared.

I would hope that they were sure before they shot him.

In the circumstances considering what happened after the Madrid bombings where the suspects blew themselves up, this would be the only option available. If he had been wounded he could have pulled the trigger and taken a lot more people with him.

There will be an enquiry, and his civil liberties will no doubt be questioned.

Yes, however, if it turns out he was a terrorist the police did a great job! This is “fighting terrorism”, not bombing a country far far away. If possible try to catch them alive, however, one can not take too many risks. If he was innocent he would have stopped most likely. I don’t think civil liberties are under attack because of this, in fact, it is the task of the police to take out the dangers the protect the citizens. I find this morally more acceptable than invading countries which have little or nothing to do with this home-born terrorism. The police can do a better job fighting terrorism than the army.
