Re: woolwich on this day

The Koran compels Muslims to kill infidels. So it would seem that they would attack and kill us whatever. But many countries don't get this sort of sh1t - only the ones involved in the Middle East. So you are both right and wrong. If we had never been involved we might have been spared this - but ho...

Re: Oklahoma devastation

Personally I would rather have a wood house and an underground storm shelter than the illusion of safety in a brick structure.

Re: Oklahoma devastation

Do not underestimate the power of a storm like that. We have incredibly mild weather here. I've seen amazing and frightening storms in Asia that are still nothing compared to that type of Tornado. An image from Oklahoma. I wouldn't have liked to have been in that brick building behind :eek2 http://n...
