Since posting news seems to be so popular, I'm going to have to ask they be thrown in here - at least for the time being. Otherwise this whole section will eventually be flooded with them  :nerd:

Ur link waz broken so I fix'd it. Me good, me fix things. :nuija:

Srsly tho', a similar thing happened here in Failland less than a year ago. There was a guy whose home was demolished along with everything he had inside. Apparently it was some horrible mistake about his rent fee. He was doing the obligatory army service and military forgot to pay his rent on time (they make you go to army => they pay your rent while you're gone). The land lord was some crazy nutcase who decided to demolish the whole thing without a second warning after the payment didn't arrive on time. :facepalm:

Oh, Finnish people wouldn't know Judaist from a Buddhist even if they saw one. So there's no way a Finn can have an attitude or prejudices on a religious basic, unless it's a Muslim (for the reason that media likes to portrait Muslims as terrorists. That silly brainwashing media...). So in religious concept Finns are mostly just like those animals in the rain forest that have never seen a human being and don't know if they should run or purr at the sight. I didn't say I hate Jews. I actually have Jewish friends as well as I have colorful friends, Africans, Asians, Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Americans, British, Indians and what not all kinds from all around the world.

From the information that I gather together from those shreds of data available, all I can do is wonder about what the hell is going on in the U.S. My comment was actually sarcasm pointing out at the entire article. However, I won't deny the fact that whenever a political figure is shot by a lunatic, it's usually no accident – especially if it happens in the America. Take JFK and Martin Luther King Jr. as an example. It's always some mentally unstable guy who just 'happens' to go mad at the right place at the right time. Were the JDL or Mossad forces involved? I didn't say it. Who knows. Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe it was some of the other of the numerous organizations capable of assassination operations or maybe apart from the following, this time it really was just a coincidence. :hmm:

Btw. This is my 1000:th post. Hooray!  :pullo:

Not sure what you're asking or how you see the deed, but I think it was another one in a long line of politically motivated assassinations. It'll create some loyalists and he'll be a martyr to some, but his death will do as much as offing Saddam and Osama did.

The silver lining of this cloud is that he was killed by his own people. Besides, had he been brought to justice, it would have either been another farce where a dictator manipulates the system, gets off easy or dies of old age. The other option would have been a payback execution to flaunt at elections.

Same thoughts over here. It's hard to imagine that the disorder in the country would be solved by this. Now that the obvious bad guy is gone, the people will turn against each other. Of course I hope this won't be the case. The NATO forces and foreign investors obviously want a share as well - there's a huge potential in Libya.

And when can we expect this revolution here, you might ask? I'd say 20 years, give or take a two. While we wait for that, scumbags selling sub standard weed mixed with lawnmower clippings (or perhaps their own body hair) get to live fat and skim off and leech off of what could provide people with jobs and the government with taxes (and reduced crime). Also, cops breathing down the necks of harmless people huffing and puffing. Some are - incredibly - even productive members of society.

We may not have a "war on drugs". But it's certainly a stupid, resource-wasting little cat and mouse game that gets people in trouble and tarnishes their records for no other reason than a politically motivated law being in effect. And what about the other, more abstract consequences of this silly probation?
