London Explosions - Page 5

Our stoicism is indeed, legendary

Hello all, I am back now for good

I watched this on the late news last night and became very upset and felt the sort of anger I felt and anguish I felt, on 9/11. I changed the channel....

Why did terrorists attack London yesterday and kill a lot of innocent and impartial people, not involved in their jihad? (I know the answer, just one of those "whys" ya know)?

Who no less, were just on their way to work?

Why do they have to involve the deaths of innocent human beings in their fight for what they believe in?

We don't fear you. We loathe you. We will always be waiting for you, ready. We do not grant you forgiveness for your sins. You will burn in hell. Your attacks only make us stronger, to unite us, the free people of the world.

If I we find you, you will wish you had never been born.

The minds of many terrorists are unreachable after a certain point. No amount of humanism can touch them. They would gladly murder their own family for some cause that, in the end, doesn't give a damn about them anyhow, and only seeks to serve the morally rotted inclinations of their leader. If their cause or their "god's command" is one to make the world a better place and guarantee a place in 'heaven' through mass slaughter and destruction, then we have no incentive to support that cause or to believe in that god. Our children, family, and our friends depend on us.

Thank you for those words, Lucien, that helped when I read it earlier.

Thankfully, I just, roughly an hour ago, got an eMail response to my inquiry on some, one person's feedback is still missing; former were in London at the time, but thankfully not near the station itself, they're all fine and physically unharmed, though in deep shock and sorrow. Either way, that's a huge block of "phew" that just flew my way

No, seriously, thank you

Hey, Pinkgothic, good to hear they're OK.

ART_Adventures · 07-08-2005, 02:36 PM

Hi SquareJawHero, we met once last year. I was wondering whether you were ok. Glad to see you are

squarejawhero · 07-08-2005, 02:50 PM

Hey there! I'm cool, thanks for coming on and asking! We met at the Ubi Myst IV show... wow, that's nearly a year ago already. Crazy.

Well, I'd say a lot's happened since then - this stuff for starters. May even head off into London tomorrow. Can't say I'm not a little nervous, but I'll be staying well away from tubes, that's for sure!

simpson_yellow · 07-08-2005, 08:11 PM

Glad to hear your news, Pinks.

The 'we're not afraid' link was great link too, by the way. Quite moving, and I was really tickled by this pic. That kind of British spirit makes me kinda homesick (I'm a Bristol boy by birth).

thanks for your concern we are okay thankfully. all three of my mums brothers were on the tube at the time and one was soooooo close to being blown up it's unreal. There's only one person i could possibly blame for this whole thing and it's the biggest criminal organisation in the world.

tippex79 · 07-09-2005, 03:43 AM

Thanks to everyone for messages of support. It's nice to know people all over the world are thinking of us.

Just popped in to see if everyone's alright. Good to see you're all doing OK!

*Waits for SCRUGates and Nuttygal to post....*

Hey

I hope everyone is ok and i'am really sorry if anyone lost any family or friends!

Now an evacuation of Birmingham - where next?

Hopefully this is just a false alarm. My parents live only 10 minutes walk from Broad Street where the main evacuation has taken place and my brother is up there every Saturday night (as I used to be for years before emigrating). I've been in contact and he couldn't get in by Taxi so he, my cousin and their mates have gone elsewhere. I'll be watching this extremely closely.......

This was bound to happen though.

SakSquash · 07-09-2005, 01:59 PM

I'm surprised Australia hasn't gotten hit yet.

Aj_ · 07-09-2005, 02:03 PM

Australians were attacked, although not on Australian soil.

Well, i'm talking about on Australian soil.

pinkgothic · 07-18-2005, 09:03 AM

Woot. I just heard back from the one London friend that hadn't resurfaced yet - turns out he left London for Valencia, and so was nowhere near the attacks! I'm highly relieved.
