Well............ if you see an impending flood approaching, be sure to point the gun downwards and fire very rapidly. The resultant recoil will allow you to remain suspended above the water line. If any "Looting. Illegal mexicans" pass by, simply divert your line of fire. Be sure to ask for proof of nationality before comprimising your new-found enthusiasm in Newton's third law Don't forget to pull your other piece out and fire in the other direction to counteract any sideways recoil. Keep shouting "yee haaa!" alot to attract some well deserved press attention. I know what you're thinking, I should get out more...You're right

But.....it gives you lovely hair . A big toke on that Jenkem pipe and you might be tempted

, nice one. In the interests of mantaining this thread in Speakers corner, I think you should stipulate precisely the ratio of left versus right pigs feet. ....and what the hell is going on with the green onions and red pepper flakes, sounds like lefty tripe to me.....

Maybe....maybe not....

What about some neutral tripe as well, ...purely in the interest of balance...

Ok, I after reading the link you posted I can see your point

Well, if it was featured in an article by the New york times, why didn't you say so? You could of claimed it was their poor research and not your own. More to the point, it would of been more interesting if you provided the link so we could of evaluated their critique and not the lack of yours Plenty, is the obvious answer. Christianity has a bloodthirsty reputation, but it would be ridiculous to try and tar all practicing modern-day christians with that brush. If you are talking about fact, and by this I mean what is actually quoted in religious text and not practiced by fundamantalist nutters, then the Koran is one of the few religious texts to preach tolerance and respect to people from other religions. You have not kept this thread on track at all. You have directed our attention to a web-site that for all intentions seems very moderate and rather interesting. There is nothing in your criticism of islam that is reflected in the editorial of this website.

There is about 3 or 4 threads going on in one reply here. A broad critique of islam does not justify your lack of research and poor choice in finding this "jihadi website". I suggest you find a better example of a religious extremist website (there's plenty out there for all religions) and you may get a better response. The last statment proclaiming islamic intolerance in Saudi Arabia, yet sanctioning the use of disproportionate force and "killing the money" appears at best contradictory. Care to try again?

QuotePost: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Reply To -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.islamicnetwork.com/ Interesting. Any thoughts out there? This is not a culture that wants to live with other cultures. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Can you point to where specifically on the site you came to that conclusion? All I can see (on the forum part) is mainly westerners making offensive comments on something they know feck all about.Quote I have to agree. I can't see anything immediately offensive about this website. I'm sure there may be some choice comments hidden deep within some of the discussion groups, but the same could be said of this website . I am wondering what the point of the OP was, it seems rather serene and less reactionary than other religious websites I've seen. The first paragraph here seems less than confrontational and just wondering where the "jihadi web site" thread label came from. If anything, I was offended by the sheer number of useless ringtones available these days

Speaking as a non-american looking in I thought the whole point behind the media uproar was that he had been exposed for his ridiculous double standards. Presumably if he was a progressive democrat (or republican for that matter), then the homsexual nature of these clandestine meetings wouldn't be so much in question, but one of general decency in a public space. Why should he be left alone? He should be held to account for why he actively pursues and persecutes perfectly law-abiding decent people for engaging in an act that he clearly enjoys doing in a public toilet.This logic would apply to the person irrespective of thier political views or country. I think people are buying 'tickets' for more voyeuristic reasons ie watching a man who clearly enjoyed persecuting homosexuals being exposed as one. THe fact that he lies and squirms around the facts just adds value to the ticket.

I don't think this was their original motivation. I don't see them cynically manipulating the press like a B list celebrity who craves attnetion. I guess they were hoping to find their daughter quickly by keeping the trail hot. The fact it has gone cold and the press have turned on them was in any ways something they hadn't anticipated. Many of the papers today seem detached from them and focusing on forensic details from disclosed and undisclosed sources. This trial by media has been going on for some time in the portuguese and european press, and it looks like now it's going to get uglier in the british press

THis is true. What is incredible to watch is the level of coverage this case has from Sky news. It was the headline story today for news on the hour EVERY time I looked throughout this morning and this evening. This of all days on the 11th September, when Bin laden has taunted the world with his first speech in a long time. A little reflection on this matter by highlighting this anniversary occasionally through the day wouldnt of gone amiss I am not saying this story isnt worthy but this level of coverage for the same story has led to feverish hysterical monotony and an obsessive rehashing of the same facts The other news channels flitted between headline stories as and when facts from other news events came in, indicating at least some balance. I guess with this intensity of cover, speculation on live TV during a news vacum inevitably leads to trial by television

Hmm, each report that comes in about this seems incomplete, contradictory or just plain confusing. I guess it is hardly surprising considering the level of secrecy in this investigation. This particular report is a good example, as yesterday Sky were reporting a ‘blood sample’ and the next day it is a ‘DNA sample’. This distinction is important, as hair samples have a greater capacity to contaminate any ‘crime scene’ than blood, as they are constantly been shed becoming airborne and distributing over large areas. Declaring the presence of blood on the other hand seems more convenient if you are looking to build a case and charge someone, as it is sounds more incriminating, being suggestive of a violent altercation and/or physical trauma. However young kids of this age or forever getting scrapes and bruises, much more so than an adult, so the presence and potential for cross contamination would be much higher than a case involving an adult. I expect positive DNA identification will not only be found in areas where she is known to have occupied (eg bedroom bathroom etc), but also in places where items of used clothing may have been placed (such as a car boot) before or after she disappeared. In this respect, excluding cross-contamination would be purely speculative, there is just no way you can prove conclusively the blood/DNA sample came from direct contact of a body. DNA profiling nowadays is much more sensitive than even a few years ago and can be conducted with tiny samples, often involving a single cell or a single gene copy. This places the burden of proof on the criminal investigators, and a threshold has to be established for what constitutes a ‘positive’ result using a testing technique this sensitive, as her DNA will have contaminated all predesignated crime scenes. What is worrying is if the investigators are under such intense pressure, the threshold for what constitutes a positive result will invariably lower. For me cross-contamination is the obvious explanation. However the source of the corss-contamination may prove far more interesting to the police, for example if it was an item that was used to clean a crime scene. Obviously, keeping an open mind when investigating a case like this is critical. It seems interesting that they have not found, or maybe are not commenting on any supportive evidence of a body been placed in the boot, such as hair, clothing fibres etc. As stated before, it seems impossible to move a body, which you would of hidden from the police, with a media scrummage going on outside your front gate. Not being familiar with all the techniques of forensic science it would be interesting to hear other peoples comments! Edited to say: I hope that all this speculation will be proven pointless after her safe and speedy return. Blues
