hey everybody. I haven't been updating for a while because the bastards at IT blocked this website. While that is mainly a bad thing, I guess it means that I don't have to interact with most of you bastards as often. And yes I do realise that goes both ways so go to hell and die. Actually that mainly just goes for Tom. Anyhoozle, the real reason why I am here is because of a nes report several months ago. I have no idea why I thought of it, but it kind of irritated me. It was about the time of the London bombings, or a few days after. The report was on a website that hosted a butload of photos of people that were holding signs and whatnot saying that they weren't scared of terrorists. While this is childish, stupid, and ultimately pointless. It is fairly harmless. The big problem that I had with this website was that alot of people actually thought that by posting up photos of babies holding signs saying that "the contents of our diapers are more scary than you terrorists" is that it trivialises a serious issue. To start with, we should be taking a serious look at the differences in our cultures that could spark something as inherently evil as a terrorist attack. Second of all, this false sense of security that we generate by pretending that terrorists aren't there blinds us to the fact that our government is essentially taking advantage of terrorists. I would go on and justify my arguments but I'm felling sleepy now, perhaps tomorrow. Anyways, it's been mildly interesting to leave a message of this board that people I have met once or twice may comment one, bye.
