Just watched the news... Terror in London, over 90 people have been confirmed dead after explosions in the subway and busses, OMG...

I just watched the news and it said only two people confirmed dead. However it said that just as i flicked on so that may have only been from one explosion

2 confirmed dead right now.

Not 90.

And to stay on topic for this thread...

How do you feel about these attacks? Do you think the British will take more action against the terrorists now?

I got told today by a British soldier that he wanted "To kick some terrorist boat for doing this." And that was a regiment execuative officer talking here.

oops....my bad i reckon! :embarrassed2:

I think the british really should take more action against terrorism.....
The common swedish guy is really very much for harder actions against terrorists and even the increasing stream of immigrants ....

I think the current official death toll is around 31, though they suspect more to be trapped under Kings Cross station. In the last hour or two there have been closing of streets in the town centre of Birmingham too, and reports of controlled explosions. Birmingham's only a few miles from here, and where my dad works, but I'm not overly worried.

Terrorism is one of the smallest problems in the world as far as I'm concerned - looking at it logically, 30 or so deaths is peanuts compared to so many other preventable causes of death, such as curable diseases, poverty, car crashes, smoking etc. The reason terrorism works so well is that it is high profile, instant and indiscriminate, which leads governments to give disproportionate attention to it and divert overly large amounts of money which could be better used to prevent deaths elsewhere.

I think if Bush wasn't friends with various terrorists this wouldn't have happened. A FORMER government defense official said that every time they knew where Osama Bin Laden was, they were given word not to attack. Osama was given immunity long ago and I know this because no one hides in a mountain cave for about three years, makes regular videos and carries out attacks without being captured or killed. Sorry if I conflict with your opinions, but I stand with what I believe.

I think if people didn't exsist then this wouldn't be a problem . . . damn that means I hate me!


Oh, well . . . .

Whoa. Conspiracy paranoia?

While I am no fan of Bush, I find that a bit far-fetched. So some former official says something. Maybe he/she was fired for being dishonest? There are many possible explanations, and you can't believe everything you hear.

oh yeah Minque, you asked how my sister did at the Youth Olympics right? She came first in the B final for the 100 metre Butterfly. No medal for B finals though, unfortunately
