RIP

'They were not afraid'

Nor are the people they left behind

Terrorism is a cowards act.

On July 7th, London was attacked and everyone was effected. Something I will never forget about that day, it was the sadness that went through our hearts. United Kingdom has had decades of terrorism, mainly the IRA (which is still a problem cause two splinter groups have threaten to carry out attacks) and even the bombings by Nazi Germany, but we never was defeated.

You can break our bones, shed our blood and drop our tears, but you will never break out spirit.

RIP

They were killed by their own Government and Intelligence Services.

Please show some respect and do not taint this thread with conspiracies.

Today is a day where we remember those who died, not point the finger at who is to blame.

I showed some respect when I typed R.I.P in a large bolded text. Please don't try and tell me what to do. You have already 'tainted' this thread with your own conspiracies, anyway. A bomb plot involving more than one person is still a conspiracy, no matter who carried it out. Look the word up in the dictionary, because the actual meaning escapes people sometimes.

That didn't seem to stop you pointing the finger. 'Oh the Cowardly Terrorists. They will never prevail.' I guess you have to 'point your finger' in the right direction, to have the desired effect, huh? You can get yourself all hyped up by Television Newscastings all you like, but don't take it out on me, Mate.

Again: R.I.P to those killed. It was a tragedy.

You can call terrorists whatever you want, but they are NOT cowards. They are brave in their own way. It does take a lot of guts to get passed security and perhaps if you saw it from another perspective, you would think differently about it.

Pardon me if I disagree. About as loudly as I can, as well. Any person who goes out of their way to deliberately target innocent civilians - men, women, children - and kill in such a barbaric way as using indiscriminate bombing, is a coward. An utter, complete, abhorrent coward. The scum who let those bombs off don't deserve any sympathy at all.
And I say the same thing about the IRA.

I WILL stay on topic with the sentiments that the original poster intended.

My memeories and thoughts go out to all those involved in the attrocities that happened that day.

Jesus, keep it on topic for Chris's sake chaps, it's a time to remember and reflect.

I am standing on the steps of St Pauls Cathedral as I type this on my new SPV C550.

We're still here

We're still getting on with our lives

We're still going to work, meeting friends, having fun

We're not going to bow to anyone, this is England and we're a proud race

We can't be beaten because we can't be broken.

Absolutely right. I came into work today at the usual time, I'm on lunch now, looking around, enjoying a sandwich and gazing out on the great city of London. We didn't bow to Hitler, we didn't bow to the IRA, we won't start bowing now.

I agree heartily with both sentiments.

I suggest everyone else do the same.

My thoughts are with our friends in the UK on this day of remembering the victims of that horrible attack.

I've gotten to know a lot of people who are from the UK over the years (mostly through ATS), and you're a good bunch even if you do spell funny.

Anyways, we in NYC know the feeling and we stand with you as you remember the people who were tragically taken from you a year ago.

May none of us ever know from these things again.

RIP, victims of pointless violence worldwide.

Innocent lives should never be used as pawns for any goals, the people of London should never have had to experience such widespread pain and devestation. When you use a bomb, the "destruction" goes much, much further than just the explosion, it leaves families shattered and spirits broken, besides the physical casualties.

My heart goes out to the families of the victims.

There are no words to express my sorrow for those who died that day and those who's lives where changed forever by that day, to qoute Laurence Binyon:

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

Thats usually reserved for rememberance day , I thought it fitting for today...

I guess you have never served in the military. COWARDS are disquised in many ways, and to credit their actions is in its own way cowardice. Oh and I see it from another perspective, but with 25 years of serving my country I will never highlight terrorist, but for what they really are COWARDS.

why is this post in here in the first placethis aint a church

It doesn't take service in the military to know the meaning of coward... it's basic stuff you learn in elementary school.

From Dictionary.com:

'Coward -- One who shows ignoble fear in the face of danger or pain."

Terrorists give their bodies up for their cause, however evil it may be. It's the friggen meaning of the word for crying out loud.

Firebat is right, we have to admire their ruthlessness and capacity to blow themselves amongst civilian populations, like schools, funerals, mosques, etc.
