I think there should be a Terrorist Olympics. Each event would showcase one of various terrorist tactics/strategies, testing each organization's prowess in executing said tactics/strategies. The question is, would it only feature stateless terrorist organizations, or would state terrorism also be included? After all, the word originated with reference to state terror. Hmm.

I think we should include abortion tactics in that too. Since Abortion is the world #1 terrorist. Or more like Roe vs. Wade here in America.

How in gods name, do you know that?. What evidence did you use, to come up with this assumption?.

On a brighter note, we did it. The U.K finally, gets some good news. Congratulations, must go to Lord Coe and his team. :wink:

Yeah, no kidding. I'm sure London is a great place to have the olympics. :)

So, buy your pounds now so you can cash in during the height of the olympics, as I understand it, the olympics are big enough they might affect the exchange rate enough to turn over a decent chunk of change.

Unless you're already in a good position, like EU. I would expect USD to exchange well since (last I checked) it's falling still.

As people may or may not know by now, just a day following this announcement there are several bombs that have gone off within the London Transport system. My heart goes out to all that have been affected.

Yes, OMFG, I was at work this morning and I just heard (summer job :P) about the explosions in London and I was like: I'm gonna get that on the forums :( and yes, I am :roll: But no place has been struck twice like that (except in Iraq, but there are more T than CT (counterstrike :P) EQUAL TEAMS!!! :P

Well, let's hope then that it won't happen again :P

And good luck struck people...

Well just as we get the good news, regarding london hosting the 2012 olympics games, something like this happens.

Well, my brother lives in london, luckily he is ok. At the moment he cant find his grilfriend although, we hoping that this is just becasue alot of the mobile phone networks have been dedicated to the emergency services. Also, must if not all public transport in london has ground to a stop. Anyway, lets hope she is ok.

As previously said, my heart goes out to all those involved.

What's wrong about abortion? It's not living yet and if it will live the kid will have a bad life since the parent(s) didn't want it to come :?

Boy that's about the most simplistic summary I've ever read on the matter. So at what point is an unborn baby considered 'life'?

In other news, looks like Tony Blair has gotten just the kinds of attacks he needs to boost his waning approval rating.....

Have all the brits here remarked? Everybody here safe so far?
