#182The worst part for me (and I really am feeling bad about this) is that I should be concerned about the victims right now, but I can't stop thinking about what freedoms I'll be losing as a result of this.
Thousands die every day, but freedoms should persist. Besides with a little luck this is North Korea and we don't have to loose any more freedoms (do we even have more to lose?)
Are you really asking whether we have more freedoms to lose in the same sentence that you mention North Korea? Really?

#183Its things like this that really make me wonder how we can progress as a society with nutjobs like this. Without sounding like a hippy, the world is filled with so much violence and hate. If these people (and they're all over) put more effort into building society instead of destroying we could really progress.
It takes a special kind of asshole to do this.

#185Anyone ever see the movie "Four Lions"? Basically it's a dark comedy about a bunch of jihadist trying to bomb the London Marathon, but fail because they're incompetent.
Too bad life doesn't always imitate art.

Couldn't agree more so. What "precautions" and new reforms are we gonna see in the name of security?
No doubt some "reforms" will be implemented that will funnel even more money into the pockets of lobbyist-using companies and big-time campaign donors.

Seriously? Because you had so much more freedom in 1999?
At least I could take nail clippers on an airplane in 1999.
You still can today. That is a myth.

>You knew exactly where the attackers stood--American power is evil Who gives a fuck where they stand they will all be hunted down and killed. For all you know this bombing was because they don't believe women should run in marathons.
> For all you know this bombing was because they don't believe women should run in marathons. Or maybe their entire family was killed as collateral damage in an american drone strike in Yemen. Or they though the IRS is taxing them too much and wanted to get back at the country. Or they are just fucking crazy and didn't even have a reason. Stop making assumptions with no information whatsoever.
I think that was his point.

#189Do you think IRA (or one of its forks like Real IRA, Continuity IRA or one IRA extremist supporter) might have been involved?
Today US supreme court has ruled to give tapes containing testimony to Irish police: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2013/apr/15/ira-tapes-police-su... .
