Random Thoughts (Political Edition)

Blind_Io has it right. But I don't think the guy was speeding. That cop would of gave him a ticket for it. I think this was a case of the cop being out in no where and that was the first vehicle to come by in a while, so he pulled him over.
 
BBC News - Darling tells of 'fundamental disagreements' with Brown

BBC News said:
Alistair Darling has spoken of the "fundamental disagreement" he had with Gordon Brown over key economic policies during the last Labour government.

The ex-chancellor told the BBC he was the victim of "debilitating" attacks by No 10 and accused of "exaggerating" the severity of the 2008 financial crisis.

Mr Darling, whose memoirs are published next week, also claimed Mr Brown had "ignored" the problem of the deficit.

But another colleague said Mr Brown had shown "great leadership" at the time.

Mr Darling served as Mr Brown's chancellor between 2007 and 2010, a period during which tensions between the two men increased markedly.

Wow, so former Prime Minister Gordon Brown was a bullying, incompetant idiot, who ran a government permanently in a state of chaos.

Actually Alistair, we already got the memo on that and why he is no longer PM. But thanks for the extract on your memoirs and good luck with sales.

German state politics ahead:

SPD wins Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania vote

The governing centre-left Social Democrats on Sunday trounced Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives in her home state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The SPD now has a choice of coalition partners.
:dance:

Short summary: This is an extremely welcome election result with one sore spot. Angela Merkel's coalition parties have been well and truly clobbered, with the F.D.P. (junior partner, formerly libertarians, currently an embarrassing neoliberal sideshow) not even rejoining the parliament. The Greens have succeeded in joining the parliament, which now gives them a presence in all 16 state parliaments. The sore spot is the "National-Democratic" Party, the neo-Nazis, who have unfortunately not been thrown out despite significant losses.

All in all, I'm very happy about this result.
 
Random thought: Some Nadine Dorries, Tory from Mid Bedfordshire asked mr. Cameron about something during Prime Ministers Question Time. She said something in the direction of "The Liberal Democrats make up 8.7 % of this Parliament [...]".

The random thought is this: The Lib Dems got 22.1 % of the popular support during the last General Election. Time to scrap First Past the Post, perhaps? It is an argument of monumental stupidity from mrs. Dorries.
 
UBS concludes that the Euro shouldnt exist

Why consider break-up at all? Break-up occurs because the Euro does not work. Member states would be economically better off if they had never joined. European monetary union was generally mis-sold to the population of the Europe. In the 1990s the Euro was often characterised as an instance of foreign exchange rate integration ? the Exchange Rate Mechanism without the crises. The advantages of no foreign exchange rate uncertainties or costs for trade and tourists were emphasised. Of course the exchange rate integration was probably the least of the consequences of the Euro. The most important consequence was the integration of monetary policy. The hint was in the name ?European Monetary Union?. However, politicians sought to ignore that hint. A Euro that had been promoted on the idea of monetary union rather than exchange rate integration would have been far more difficult to sell to the electorate.

I conclude the ozone hole shouldn't exist.

Yet there it is.

But seriously: The Swiss are currently experiencing, what it can mean to be economically successful while not being part of the Euro zone. The overrating of the Swiss franc demonstrates it clearly. Let's see which target the speculators pick next.
 
And we're the other side of that argument. But we're a real petro currency, after all.
 
So it's been 10 years already...

[16:52] <Danny-Mac> #WorldTradeCenter
[16:52] <Laserman> Well.. it is not anymore just see the pics on TV... the 2 towers are gone
[16:53] <Danny-Mac> it's a channel frankie
[16:53] <Danny-Mac> lots of people there
[16:54] <PoisonIvy> ah, i'm soo glad i live in a small city
[16:54] <Laserman> Frankly I prefer to remain here... I'm not to eager to get into heated up discussions
[16:55] <theSFC> me neither
[16:55] <theSFC> i stick with the facts
[16:55] <Laserman> Well, one thing is clear: Those planes did not lost their way and accidently crashed into the twi towers of the World Trade Center
[16:56] <PoisonIvy> they said at least 10,000 new yorkers are dead =(
[16:56] <Laserman> Well... 50.000 worked in there...
[16:56] <PoisonIvy> i hope no nuke is coming =(((((((((
[16:57] <Laserman> Well... so much for Bush's strategic missile defense system
[16:57] <Danny-Mac> Frankie...
[16:57] <Laserman> And the use of it
[16:58] <Laserman> Yes, Danny?
[16:58] <Danny-Mac> ok...so now it's time to ridicule our president?
[16:59] <theSFC> well defense system doesnt stop line airplanes
[16:59] <Laserman> Sorry but that's what I think
[16:59] *** Aga^ has joined #Sandra
[16:59] <PoisonIvy> frankie, how could they stop those planes????
[16:59] <PoisonIvy> they were AMERICAN planes
[16:59] <Danny-Mac> suit yourself
[16:59] <theSFC> nobody can stop terrorist attacks
[16:59] <PoisonIvy> hey aga
[16:59] <Aga^> hej
[16:59] <theSFC> you can only hope to an try to prevent them
[17:00] <Larryslug> hi Aga
[17:00] <PoisonIvy> ogladasz tv?
[17:00] <Laserman> They can never stop this... if somebody plans to park a freighter with a nuke in New York harbour, he will do it.
[17:00] <Aga^> tia... niezle namieszali u was
[17:00] <PoisonIvy> no...
[17:00] <PoisonIvy> no to Aga =)
[17:01] <PoisonIvy> not only here Frankie, anywhere in the world
[17:01] <Laserman> Yes but the USA are target No. 1 :-(
[17:01] <Danny-Mac> for many reasons
[17:02] <Danny-Mac> as angry as i am, i can understand
[17:02] <Laserman> Arafat on TV here... looks really shocked
[17:02] <Danny-Mac> brb
[17:02] <Danny-Mac> must check TV
[17:02] <PoisonIvy> eh.. my mom called me all shaken up...
[17:03] <Laserman> I do not think it was the Palestinians... they can only achieve their goals WITH the USA...
[17:03] <theSFC> ahhhh :)
[17:04] <PoisonIvy> i wish they said something about that other plane on the way
[17:04] <Danny-Mac> i cou'dnt stay in that worldtradecenter channel too long
[17:05] <Danny-Mac> way too much hostility
[17:05] <Laserman> Yes, I can figure

[17:07] <BabyTommy> they say 10.000's of ppl is dead
[17:08] <PoisonIvy> they said they did, Frankie
[17:08] <Danny-Mac> thanks everyone

[17:10] <PoisonIvy> thank God!!!!!!!!!
[17:10] <Laserman> Well... I only hope it does not get out of hand
[17:10] <PoisonIvy> someone will finally take some action
[17:11] <PoisonIvy> it already has.. what do you call today??/!
[17:11] <Danny-Mac> let's hope the right ones get what's comeing to them
[17:11] <PoisonIvy> it's so sad though that a war will start when they find out who it was
[17:12] <Danny-Mac> yes
[17:12] <Laserman> Gosia, with out of hand I mean that I hope it will not lead to a war
[17:13] <PoisonIvy> we can all be sure it will Frankie
[17:14] <Larryslug> sadly, what choice is there?
[17:14] <PoisonIvy> i don't know what kind of a leader bush would be if he didn't take some action!!!!
[17:14] <Larryslug> allow it?
[17:14] <PoisonIvy> they talked and talked before, avoided the war, and look what we get =(
[17:15] <Larryslug> invite others to do the same?
[17:17] <Laserman> War with who, Gosia?
[17:18] <Laserman> First you need to find one who is responsible
[17:22] <Danny-Mac> seems the threats were given 3 weeks ago, and our govt didnt' take them seriously
[17:22] <Danny-Mac> :(
[17:22] <Danny-Mac> all the shootings going on....you'd think they'd do that
[17:22] <Danny-Mac> ANY THREAT IS A THREAT
[17:22] <Danny-Mac> at this time
[17:25] <Laserman> Well... it's the usual TV hassle... many experts are asked but nobody realy has a clue
[17:27] <Danny-Mac> wow
[17:30] <Danny-Mac> American Airline says that 164 passengers and crew members killed....from thier 2 planes
[17:31] <Danny-Mac> people are evacuating Chicago
[17:31] <PoisonIV> yeah =(((
[17:31] <PoisonIV> just imagine those ppl on the planes!!! how scared they were =(
[17:31] <Larryslug> yes...
[17:32] <PoisonIV> oh hear that!!!
[17:32] <PoisonIV> the twin towers were designed to withstand airplane impacts
[17:32] <PoisonIV> so they speculate that they might have been something that 'helped' the collapse
[17:33] <PoisonIV> ah!!! they're talking about st. louis =(
[17:33] <PoisonIV> on fox =)
[17:33] <theSFC> what about it ?
[17:34] <PoisonIV> they're saying that the buildings are susceptible to attack... blah.. no facts

[17:39] <Danny-Mac> yeah:(
[17:40] <Danny-Mac> now they are speculating an Islamic Gehad group....why speculate...that just fires us up
[17:41] <^Leon> i dont know who ....
[17:41] <Laserman> I don't think that any state was involved, not even Iraq would be so stupid
[17:41] <^Leon> i agree frank
[17:41] <Danny-Mac> i do too
[17:41] <^Leon> the spokeman from the plo sayd he does not know from nothing
[17:41] <theSFC> well it wasnt a one person action either !
[17:41] <PoisonIV> oh .. they're saying something about 'islamic movement' claiming that the attack was because of the us policy in the middle east
[17:41] <Danny-Mac> nevermind what i said earlier...
[17:41] <PoisonIV> they haven't confirmed it yet though.. anybody knows what the policy is?
[17:41] <Mari> Oh my god !!!! New york looks like after end of the world !!!!!!!!!! :-((
[17:42] <Laserman> And who does say that it were foreigners? Let's not forget that in Oklahoma City it was an American
[17:42] <theSFC> there are always militant organisations who will say they done it
[17:42] <Larryslug> all that smoke and debris
[17:42] <Danny-Mac> good points, Frankie and Arno
[17:42] <Danny-Mac> i think they are using "circumstantial evidence" of some sorts
[17:42] <PoisonIV> yes.. you're right Arno, frankei
[17:43] <Danny-Mac> people want answers...
[17:43] <Danny-Mac> i can only imagine the pressure in the news studios
[17:43] <Danny-Mac> at WBBM radio...
[17:43] <theSFC> well guess they are looking at the passanger lists now and track down who the hijackers were among them
[17:43] <PoisonIV> oh check that out!
[17:43] <Danny-Mac> or WABC, WCBS...
[17:43] <PoisonIV> they just said on nbc that palestine is celebrating =(((((((((
[17:43] <Laserman> Ow... now thy have a picture of the 2nd plane crashing into the World Trade center. Was a Boeing 737, I guess
[17:43] <theSFC> that will conclude who is behind..
[17:43] <PoisonIV> they're handing out candy and saying that 'god is great'
[17:44] <Mari> must go to work
[17:44] <Danny-Mac> bye bye...
[17:44] <Danny-Mac> hoep you dont' live in palestine...

[17:44] <Danny-Mac> cuz it's HISTORY
[17:44] <PoisonIV> i know.. if it's true, i wouldn't be surprised if usa nuked them
[17:45] <Laserman> Danny, we do not know yet who's responsible :-( And nothing is worse than fast accusations... Let's wait and see... it's all we can do anyway
[17:46] <Danny-Mac> yes Frankie
[17:46] <Danny-Mac> i agree
[17:46] <Danny-Mac> i'm just as guilty as the rest:((
[17:48] <^Leon> what i can not understand ppl can be glad that ather ppl are dien :-((((((
[17:48] <PoisonIV> wow.. matt got recalled!!!!
[17:48] <PoisonIV> for emergency
[17:48] <PoisonIV> oh wait
[17:49] <PoisonIV> they just checked he's home in case something happens, he'll be recalled
[17:49] <Laserman> What is his job again?
[17:49] <Laserman> I forgot
[17:49] <PoisonIV> i guess if sth happens here, i'll get recalled too
[17:49] <PoisonIV> he's a paramedic
[17:49] <PoisonIV> he saves ppl in ambulance
[17:50] <Laserman> Yeah... but I don't think that St. Louis will be a target. They chose places with symbolic character.
[17:50] <Laserman> Now they assume it was Bin Laden
[17:50] <Laserman> If yes, he can kiss his butt goodbye
trivia
[17:58] *** djsf has joined #SANDRA
[17:58] <Larryslug> yes....we are not a good country to be p*ssing off
[17:58] <djsf> this is so huge
[17:59] <SANDRAnet> 2Look what the mouse dragged in... Hello Sam !!! theSFC welcomes djsf from San Francisco CA, USA :) !
[17:59] <PoisonIV> Frankie, they SHOWED palestine cheering
[17:59] <djsf> we are so going to vaporize Osama Bdenladin (sp?) if he's responsible for this
[18:00] <PoisonIV> i know =((
[18:00] <PoisonIV> hi Sam =)
[18:01] <Laserman> Well, those folks are heated up... they are not thinking like we do, Gosia...
[18:03] <Danny-Mac> indeed
[18:04] <Laserman> They were trained from youth on to hate the Israelis and the USA and it is a big honour for them to die as a martyr
[18:04] <Laserman> I'm watching Phoenix...
[18:05] <PoisonIV> i know that terrorists are trained to commit suicide during attack
[18:05] <Laserman> Taliban in Afghanistan are planning to install martial law there... they're afraid
[18:06] <PoisonIV> ah.. it was so well organized.. scary.. they prolly had ppl working for the airlines
[18:07] <Danny-Mac> wouldnt' doubt it
[18:08] <djsf> organized, yes. that's the scarry part
[18:08] <PoisonIV> the chief of firefighters in nyc said that there were devices planted in the towers
[18:08] <PoisonIV> so they collapse more easily
[18:09] <Danny-Mac> ooh:(
[18:10] <Laserman> Well, actually they simply had just to find some willing people to do it (which is not too hard) and then let them enter airplanes. It is much more effort to place a bomb somewhere
[18:12] <PoisonIV> yes, i agree
[18:12] <PoisonIV> but
[18:12] <PoisonIV> whoever hijacked the planes must have been a pilot
[18:12] <PoisonIV> how else would they steer BOTH planes into the towers?
[18:13] <Laserman> Not necessarily... they probably didn't tell the pilots "Now pleaase crash the plane into the World Trade Center". They must have directed them without telling them... and probably in the last seconds they took over
[18:15] <PoisonIV> ??? the plane was diverted!
[18:15] <PoisonIV> it was supposed to go from boston to la
[18:16] <PoisonIV> instead, it went towards nyc
[18:16] <PoisonIV> first one at least
[18:16] <PoisonIV> the other one was going towards jfk (the airport in nyc), so that's possible what you said
[18:16] <Laserman> Yes... I imagine they told the pilots to fly to New York and then, for the last moments, they grabbed the steering
[18:16] <Larryslug> no it was headed to JFK airport
[18:16] <Larryslug> right
[18:16] <PoisonIV> yes maybe
[18:18] <djsf> four aircraft; simultaneously hijacked. where was our intelligence community? how did these people get past airport security in four locations?
[18:18] <djsf> this is so lame in so many ways
[18:18] <Laserman> The Dollar dropped immidiately after it happened...
[18:18] <djsf> of course
[18:19] <djsf> and unemployment probably went down
[18:19] <djsf> a friend of mine was called out of the military reserves late last week and told he would be seeing action shortly
[18:20] <Laserman> Well, they report that there were warning before of a "never seen terrorist act" in USA
[18:20] <djsf> my city (San Francisco) is under a stage 2 alert. everything's closed.
[18:20] <djsf> you can't even travel across our bridges right now
[18:20] <Laserman> Yes, I heard. Also all tunnels closed
[18:21] <djsf> they're claiming this is a worst act of terrorism than Pearl Harbor
[18:21] <theSFC> Hoi SAM
[18:21] <djsf> s next? martial law?
[18:21] <djsf> BUT I'M OUT OF CIGARETTES!
[18:22] <Laserman> Well, good moment to quit smoking
[18:22] <theSFC> well good for your health then :)
[18:22] <djsf> Now Israeli airspace has been closed as well
[18:22] <Laserman> They raise security level on government buildings here, too... and all flags are on half here
[18:23] <djsf> the Palestenian people are celebrating, yet their leaders are condeming the acts
[18:23] <djsf> they believe U.S. and Israel are one
[18:24] <djsf> Israel without American support would not be as aggressive against PLO, they say

[18:25] <COE> Hi Larry and sam, and Frankie
[18:25] <Larryslug> unreal
[18:25] <COE> Makes me feel sick when I think about it
[18:25] <djsf> why couldn't Bush have been visiting the Trade Center this morning?
[18:25] <COE> Sam, that is not nice :)
[18:25] <COE> :/
[18:25] <djsf> our borders with Mexico & Canada have been closed.
[18:25] <Laserman> Ken, I got the news in the last 30 minutes of when I was at work and I could not concentrate on what I was doing anymore
[18:26] <Larryslug> yeah...I never even went on
[18:26] <djsf> Bush is in hiding right now. Undisclosed location, No news other than he & 1st lady are "safe"
[18:26] <Laserman> Was driving home in a kind of daze... now I calm down a bit... When I first heard it, I thought it as a joke or an exaggeration...
[18:26] <Larryslug> I couldn't take my eyes off the towers going down
[18:26] <COE> Same here
[18:26] <COE> I thought it was a joke
[18:27] <COE> I havent seen the pictures yet
[18:27] <Larryslug> I thought so to
[18:27] <theSFC> Hoi KEN !
[18:27] <COE> Hello Arno
[18:27] <Larryslug> I had went to take a shower
[18:27] <djsf> I couldn't believe it was true either. the news coverage all looked so post-holocaustal. you never see that kind of destruction of American property ... not even after the McVeigh incident
[18:27] <Larryslug> came back and saw it on the IRC
[18:27] <COE> Im still pretty shocked
[18:27] <Laserman> We then tried to get to the internet news sites on work. Only our supervisor working places have internet access. But even with the Bertelsmann network there was no getting through to the sites
[18:27] <Danny-Mac> eheh
[18:27] <Danny-Mac> yep
[18:28] <Larryslug> thought it was a hoax
[18:28] <PoisonIV> hi Kenny =)
[18:28] <COE> Yeah same here
[18:28] <djsf> CNN site is down. Their New York bureau was located at World Trade Center
[18:28] <COE> I tried to get on to CNN
[18:28] <Danny-Mac> like "War of the Worlds"
[18:28] <COE> cant get through
[18:28] <COE> Hi Gos
[18:28] <COE> Oh wow
[18:28] <Danny-Mac> hi Ken
[18:29] <COE> Its just like what you see in the movies - its so hard to beleive
[18:29] <djsf> World Trade Center tenants had 1 hour to get out before collapse4
[18:29] <COE> Hey Danny
[18:29] <Laserman> Not even in "Independence Day" the World Trade Center was shown so completely destroyed
[18:29] <djsf> they were not completed with a 2-hour evacuation plan when the bldg.s went down
[18:29] <Larryslug> that jetplane feul is highly flammable and explosive
[18:29] <Laserman> 2 hours... not much time to evacuate 50.000 people or so
[18:30] <Larryslug> feuled up for a cross country trip
[18:30] <djsf> 2 American, 2 United, 2 New York, 1 Washington/Delus

[18:31] <djsf> all planes in flight have been told to land at nearest location. there are still planes in the air, though, due to distance from reliable airport
[18:32] <Danny-Mac> bye
[18:32] <Danny-Mac> i'll be back :)
[18:32] <Laserman> Well, I guess now there won't be any more airplane crashes today... I only hope they didn't install more car bombs or something

[18:34] <Laserman> have a dry mouth
[18:34] <PoisonIV> me too
[18:34] <Larryslug> sigh....
[18:34] <COE> I'm surprised they havent bought some of those Nucualr suicase bombs from Russia, and took one of those over there
[18:34] <Laserman> I guess yet there are not folks that are stupid enough to pull such a thing off... I hope
[18:34] *** djsf has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer )
[18:34] <COE> I saw a documtary that some of there Nucualar bombs have gone missing
[18:35] <COE> any mad man could have one

[18:35] <COE> yeah
[18:35] <COE> or group

[18:38] <PoisonIV> all sports games are cancelled for today too
[18:38] <Laserman> I don't think they will attack St. Louis... Washington and New York will always be main targets because of their symbolic value
[18:39] <PoisonIV> i don't think so either.. but they still have to take precautions everywhere
[18:39] <Laserman> Strange is that there were no pictures yet of the burning Pentagon
[18:40] <PoisonIV> there were here, frankie

[22:58] <DJ_Pakis> ken have cold so he have to left
[22:58] <PoisonIV> im' kinda shaken up though.. it's horrible
[22:59] <DJ_Pakis> yes but effect you to since you live in us
[22:59] <PoisonIV> well of course
[23:02] <DJ_Pakis> i think was a payback attack
[23:02] <PoisonIV> payback for what
[23:03] <DJ_Pakis> for they did to the iraq/n
[23:03] <PoisonIV> they don't know who did it yet, so let's not speculate...
[23:04] <DJ_Pakis> you mean they dont say who did it
[23:04] <PoisonIV> if bush finds out who did it though, i wouldn't like to be in their skin... he said he will 'hunt them down and punish'
[23:04] <PoisonIV> no... they don't know !
[23:04] <DJ_Pakis> who else could do this
[23:04] <Ibizaner> I guess some islamic group like the one from Osama Bin Laden
[23:04] <PoisonIV> there are 4 suspected groups
[23:04] <DJ_Pakis> they sayd they dont know , i believe they know
[23:04] <PoisonIV> osama bin laden, 2) palestine, 3) iraq, 4) iran
[23:05] <DJ_Pakis> and there is some major unancwering questions
[23:05] <PoisonIV> if they knew, Pakis, there would prolly be missiles flying their directions
[23:05] <DJ_Pakis> yes is all there around
[23:05] <PoisonIV> they wouldn't keep the whole nation in the dark!
[23:05] <DJ_Pakis> time wil show
[23:05] <PoisonIV> yeah.. hopefully
[23:06] <merboy> is any of those groups stong enough to do on its own such a tremendous thing?
[23:06] <PoisonIV> hola Jordi =)
[23:06] <DJ_Pakis> they keep the nation in the dark
[23:06] <DJ_Pakis> yes jordy
[23:06] <merboy> czesc Gosia :)
[23:06] <PoisonIV> that's what ppl on tv are speculating too, that some might have conspired together
[23:06] <PoisonIV> like afghanistan together with bin laden
[23:07] <DJ_Pakis> right
[23:07] <PoisonIV> or palestinians
[23:07] <merboy> I think it must've been so, a group conspiration
[23:07] <Ibizaner> a small group
[23:07] <DJ_Pakis> wowo imagine o be in the tower and see the airplane to come to you
[23:08] <Ibizaner> they didn't know? CIA, FBI?..
[23:08] <Ibizaner> a very small group
[23:08] <Ibizaner> Pakis: terrible...
[23:08] <merboy> not so small
[23:08] <DJ_Pakis> first time in history no airplane fly over us and all lading to canada
[23:08] <PoisonIV> israel president just said that he's 'with us'.. offered support if usa needs it
[23:09] <PoisonIV> Kris: if they knew, don't you think they would have prevented it?
[23:09] <Ibizaner> obviously
[23:09] <PoisonIV> well then i guess it's ovbious that they don't know
[23:10] <Ibizaner> Gosia: you're right. So, it must have been a pretty small group, well organized and hidden
[23:10] <DJ_Pakis> piliticial is the best actors ever
[23:10] <Ibizaner> imagine how long they must have been planning it
[23:12] <DJ_Pakis> here ppl sayd why was so little securyty so less
[23:12] <DJ_Pakis> so they pass guns and stuff...
[23:13] <DJ_Pakis> lets wish will be nomore like it in everywere in the world
[23:13] <Laserman> Viva stopped sending here...

[23:27] <Laserman> Watching CNN right now... New footage of the second plane from a different angle. That plane actually went through the building and exploded inside
[23:27] <DJ_Pakis> yes
[23:28] <DJ_Pakis> 2100 injured
[23:28] <Ibizaner> "U.S. intelligence officials tell CNN "there are good indications that persons linked to Osama bin Laden may be responsible for these attacks."
[23:29] <DJ_Pakis> bush runaway
[23:29] <Ibizaner> i wonder: what happened to the pilots?
[23:29] <Ibizaner> were they just killed and did the terrorists fly the planes?
[23:29] <Laserman> Obviously they didn't fly the planes
[23:30] <DJ_Pakis> killed ?
[23:30] <Ibizaner> murdered
[23:30] <Laserman> Because even if they were threatened, they would not crash the plane into a building
[23:30] <DJ_Pakis> whenever
[23:30] <Ibizaner> no, that's true
[23:30] <PoisonIV> and they were prolly killed instantly
[23:30] <Ibizaner> the only explanation
[23:30] <DJ_Pakis> right they was will send the plai to sea
[23:30] <PoisonIV> otherwise they would have sent a S.O.S.
[23:31] <Ibizaner> god, when you see the photographs, it's so.....
[23:31] <PoisonIV> it's frightening =(
[23:31] *** Ewa has joined #SANDRA
[23:32] <PoisonIV> hej hej Ewa =)
[23:32] <DJ_Pakis> someone call the police inside the airplane and he sayd that was airpiracy
[23:32] <Laserman> Hi Ewa
[23:32] <PoisonIV> hey, pardon my geography, but how far is palestine from poland? =)
[23:32] <merboy> quite far Gosia
[23:32] <PoisonIV> Pakis! the passengers might not have known!
[23:32] <merboy> do you know where Israel is, Gosia?
[23:32] <DJ_Pakis> cnn sayd that gosia
[23:33] <PoisonIV> eh.. somewhere in middle east, isn't it?? lol
[23:33] <Ibizaner> Gosia: Pakis means the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania
[23:33] <merboy> lol
[23:33] <PoisonIV> what other country is it by?
[23:33] <PoisonIV> oh...
[23:33] <Ibizaner> :))
[23:33] <juanmamb> hi ewa:))))
[23:33] <Ibizaner> a passenger has called 911 with his cellular phone
[23:33] <PoisonIV> oh really?? and what?
[23:33] <PoisonIV> they didn't believe it?
[23:33] <Ibizaner> that's how it was known that that plane was supposed to crash on Camp David
[23:34] <PoisonIV> how did they passengers know that? about camp david
[23:34] <Ibizaner> apparently the hijackers aboard told the passengers
[23:34] <PoisonIV> oh...
[23:34] <PoisonIV> and what about the police?
[23:34] <PoisonIV> and how come they didnt' crash it on camp david?
[23:34] <Ibizaner> it sounds logic: telling the passengers what they were planning...
[23:34] <Ibizaner> maybe there was a hero on board..
[23:35] <Ibizaner> maybe the pilot
[23:35] <Ibizaner> remember what true hero is:
[23:35] <PoisonIV> what about the police though? did they misregard the call or something?
[23:35] <Ibizaner> I don't know about that
[23:35] <DJ_Pakis> police believe itbut mins after it crush
[23:36] <DJ_Pakis> in cnn now
[23:37] <DJ_Pakis> barbara call her husband fron in the plane
[23:37] <PoisonIV> minutes after it crashed???
[23:37] <PoisonIV> how did he call then???
[23:38] <DJ_Pakis> yes from mobile
[23:38] <DJ_Pakis> you dont have cnn gosia ?
[23:38] <PoisonIV> well.. i assume the crashed would kill him, so how could have he called AFTER the crash?
[23:39] <Ibizaner> he called before the crash
[23:39] <Ibizaner> she
[23:39] <PoisonIV> right... so like right before the crash or what?
[23:39] <Laserman> She reported the terrorists drove all passengers to the back of the plane
[23:40] <PoisonIV> right.. but what about police??????????
[23:40] <PoisonIV> why didn't they act??
[23:40] <merboy> what could they do?
[23:40] <Ibizaner> what could they do?
[23:40] <Laserman> Surely she did not know where they were going to crash
[23:40] <Ibizaner> somebody calls 911 and tells the plane has been hijacked
[23:40] <PoisonIV> how long before the crash was this?
[23:41] <Ibizaner> Pakis, you know that?
[23:41] <Laserman> no idea... just watch CNN, Gosia... they're reporting
[23:41] <Ibizaner> i guess... 30 minutes at most
[23:41] <PoisonIV> oh, and did they say if they have any speculations why they crashed before?
[23:41] <PoisonIV> i have it on cnn now
[23:41] <DJ_Pakis> know what?
[23:41] <Ibizaner> how far is Boston-Pennsylvania?
[23:42] <DJ_Pakis> no idea
[23:43] <PoisonIV> not very far
[23:43] <PoisonIV> boston is in massachusetts
[23:43] <PoisonIV> on east coast
[23:43] <PoisonIV> so maybe 500 miles or so
[23:46] <DJ_Pakis> all the stock goes down

[00:01] <PoisonIV> yeah.. +(
[00:01] <Ibizaner> it can't be American planes
[00:01] <Ibizaner> that fast?
[00:01] <PoisonIV> america wouldn't attack without proof i don't think...
[00:01] <Laserman> Well, can be cruise missiles
[00:01] <theSFC> well 'Bush'...
[00:02] <Ibizaner> surely if US intelligence is that fast to find out after the attacks, then they must have found out about it BEFORE!
[00:02] <Yeyi> yeah
[00:02] <Laserman> Well, it was told that there were warnings about some serious terrorist attack 3 weeks ago
[00:02] <Ibizaner> by whom?
[00:03] <Laserman> Maybe they knew that something was about to happen, even who was involved - but just not what was planned and what was the target... Possible, or?
[00:03] <theSFC> i guess he thought use the oportunity then found out who did it...
[00:03] <Laserman> Hmmm... well... too early to make speculations anyway
[00:03] <Ibizaner> this is all just too much to understand this fast already

Odd how hard that is to read 10 years later, and I was only 12 at the time.

Totally. I remember being home from school that day for something, I think I was sick, so I was watching TV. :S
 
Totally. I remember being home from school that day for something, I think I was sick, so I was watching TV. :S
I had gotten home frome school, had dinner and was doing my homework. So my dad shouts up "watch Discovery Channel!", so I got to the TV and switched on Disco. Disco were sending something about a river or a bridge. Thought about it for a moment, and decided he meant CNN.

Fucking hell.. That was one of the worst days in living memory for me. And I was only 13.
 
I think pretty much everyone above the age of, say, 20 remembers what he or she did on 9/11. It was the day that defined the world we are living in since. The last day like that before was way back, so for many people 9/11 is also the first such big moment in history. Perhaps the fall of the Berlin Wall 12 years earlier comes close - but that was a positive change, and those tend to be not that well remembered.

I remember that I was at home and my girlfriend called, telling me to turn on the TV. When I saw the pictures, I immediately called my father at work telling him to get hold of a TV or at least a radio any way he can (he was a journalist, but only on local news level). I then had to go to the city centre, pick up my mother from work at 4:30 pm or so and go shopping with her. I parked the car in the parking deck of a conveniently located electronic store and had to walk through the store on my way. Literally everyone, customers and staff alike, were gathered in the TV department and watching in silence. I think the towers were still standing at that point. It was quite a surreal experience doing the shopping with all that in your head, with the feeling that the world has just changed for the worse, that some kind of war will definitely come.
 
I remember the fall of the Berlin Wall. I was just a little kid but my parents woke me up to come out and watch the news because they knew that history was happening before our eyes.

The problem I have with 9/11 is that the attacks succeeded in their intended purpose: to attack the western way of life. The towers were the first dominoes to fall, but we made sure that the rest happened. I hate what happened on 9/11 and I hate the fact that so many people died, but what I hate even more is that their deaths have been used as political tools by politicians and bureaucrats ever since. How much more dishonor is there than that?

If I had a loved one die in the 9/11 attacks, at this point I would be more pissed off at our own government for how they have used those attacks to justify the destruction of our way of life, our stated values and our rights.

Ok, rant over for the time being. If I talk about this too long I just get more and more pissed off.
