I, for one, would like to offer my deepest sympathy regarding the events of this morning. There is absolutely no excuse for the killing of innocent civiliansm religion or otherwise.

My heart goes out to your citizens and I pray for the families of the victims.

What happened? Lemme guess... Some crazed terrorist guy goes out on a killing spree in London? I saw it on the ST thread... Sounds horrible. I'm sorry for anyone who lives in/near London, I hope it doesn't faze you.

I also want to extend my sympathy. I have no doubt the British will get through this, but what a senseless waste. Terrorism sucks.

Indeed. I honestly pray that no relatives of any members here were injured. Also, please pray for the souls of the people who have lost their lives in this terrible act and their families.

Thank God! I wasnt affect by this, not much anyway.

I live in north london and I have to travel quite a way to get to and from school.

Dont go to all of these american news sites...
go to www.bbc.co.uk - British Broadcasting Central, Lots of information there

Ghastly.

Indeed. All of the folks I know over there are evidently alright. Hope the same is true for our british players and their families.

up to date info on todays events

Really frightening to believe this could happen anywhere let alone
on your own doorstep. My heart goes out to anyone affected by
this malicious act.

BTW can anyone get in touch with pest? Has any admins got
an email address for him. If so can they email him to see if he is ok :S

I will see if I can reach him ! I know he plays TT at about 5 am EST until about 8am EST ! I will post if I have any luck reaching him !

@ All
My heart goes out to all of you in London and all the families that might be involved :(
To think 9/11 was just a stepping stone for what is to come scares me !
Why can't we all just live in peace and harmony (spelling ) ! :S

Update : I don't have his current email ! :'(
Does any one have it ? Please try to reach him and let us know !

::gasps:: were watching a fish for some ppl who went on vacation in london. ::prays:: :S

Damn my deepest sympathies to all the brits out there and any victims of man's folly.

Delta,

As far as PEST goes: Stop it.

Emailing him was't why I posted the picture. He's always posted when he wanted to. For cryin out loud the guy just works for them. It's a terrible thing that happened, but this "WTF is he dead!" sh*t pisses me off.

He's got enough problems without cartoon tankers emailing him.

^ I emphatically agree.

go read.

PEST was on yesterday morning and expressed concern for his mates.

@DJ Wings
Their crusade is against the modern world and anyone who would dare to enjoy life. They are anti-man/anti-life. Their focus is on the "afterlife". Fools, those that formulate their life's path according to some afterlife.

@Blind Cide,

Yeah, that's what Bush keeps saying. Nice paraphrase. In short, what he said was: "I'm too dumb to look any deeper than what they do, and don't bother looking for their real motives." YOu know, there was a case a lot like this, where a guy named Timothy McVeigh blew up a building in 2001, and they simply portrayed him as a monster doing it for fun. But in reality, he did it for revenge for a federal massacre in 1995, the largest one since Wounded Knee. It resulted in 127+ killings of peaceful people at... You know where... Waco. And they simply overlooked it and said McVeigh was a monster. Cheap-shots.

By the way, an interesting snippet from the article:

"An ideology of hope and compassion"? For terrorists? That's not what he's done so far in the war on terrorism. And he calls Kerry a flip-flopper...

Not for terrorists. Ch hope and compassion for everyone to overwhelm the terrorists hate. Psst overwhelm means to affect deeply in emotion.

Well, maybe he should make it more clear.

How did a thread on empathy and compassion for one's fellow human beings become a political-religious debate? This is a horrific event, and just because something similar happened in the US, and now in the UK doesn't mean that it doesn't continue to happen all over the world. These are not isolated events, they are planned, coordinated and executed with little concern for other peoples of the world. Do not cheapen the lives that have been lost by arguing about political or religious issues.

Real people have died. Real people are suffering. This isn't about Bush, or Blair, it's about people who have lost family, it's about kids who have lost their parents. You want to honor or extend sympathy to this tragedy? Consider the losses of the nameless pictures you see in the media, and see them as people you may have known or loved.

People just can't resist the urge to stand on their soapboxes.

If you think we're posting our sympathies just to look good then you are seriously underestimating us. This thread is not about 9/11, Bush, Blair or anything else. This is just to extend our emotional and moral support to them during a time of trouble and pain.

Amen Mem, TMO.

I'm not religious, so, no, I don't pray for them. And if you'll notice above, I never said I would. Those folks who did say that are likely religious, and I can only assume that they did indeed pray for them.

I think you mean "misunderestimating."

I wanted to say the same as chief said. Those things are meant for politics and they hit the citizens. That is not the way it should! (I m not saying that it should hit the politicians [or however u write that lol])
