i'm sorry if i offended anyone, but i am sure that he wasn't offended (he must hear that often..)
but that's just my opinion, one of the mods didn't think the same and warned me, but i think the litlle "warn" sign looks kind of good, when it'll pass i'll make sure to get one again

Warnings are not badges of honour and they don't come of with time served.

"stupid" it's not "calling names" . i mean if i would told him " wow man, you're smart , your thoughts inspire me " - that would mean "name calling" too.

British MI5 Had Hand In Previous Car Bombings
Intelligence sources are refusing to rule out an Irish connection to a massive car bomb that was discovered in the heart of London this morning. Though at this early stage the facts are sketchy, any link to the IRA or its offshoots would re-open a can of worms concerning the MI5's role in past terror attacks, and specifically car bombings, over the last few decades in Britain and Northern Ireland.
It is important to stress that not every terror attack is necessarily part of some elaborate scheme or conspiracy - indeed it is usually small scale incidents such as this that are the work of lone extremists or Islamic fundamentalists who hate the west, of which Britain is inundated with.
But as the facts emerge we would be foolish to overlook the fact that the British security services were intimately involved in numerous terror attacks in Britain over the past few decades, namely car bombings, that were blamed on the IRA or its offshoots. This is particularly relevant considering that officials have refused to rule out an Irish connection in this case.
Today was more than a 'threat' .. it was a reality.

Actually, I feel bad for those who don't take terrorism seriously. Some day they could be in a deadly situation and not be able to take care of themselves because they'd be in shock .. not believing what is happening around them.
This is serious stuff. Hundreds of people today almost died. If that one ambulance hadn't been responding to an injury .. and if that one ambulance person hadn't noticed the smoke coming from the first car ... the news headlines today would be very different. There were 1700 people in the vicinity of the first car bomb. I don't know how many were around the second car bomb. A few hundred?
~ 2,000 people could have had their lives ended .. or their bodies painfully and seriously damaged today.
So no, I don't think that's anything to laugh at.

Originally posted by SouljahAnd I thought that people on a forum named ABOVETOPSECRET want to learn something new in their lifetime - but I guess I was wrong again. Feel free to swallow any government sponsored fear mongering staged terror attacks - I shall not.
