I think that's exactly the point.

You think we should be very worried?
Yes and no. I don't think there's a huge actual threat but we should be
concerned about the alienation of young Muslims ( and how and why of course ).


Me personally, I think they are no different (if slightly more suicidal)
than the idiots who were IRA bombers in the seventies. Slightly less scary
though.
The IRA made bigger bombs.

Graham is vehemently anti-American, as can be seen in his posts
which have nothing to do with US policy.

Yep! ...right down to the way local school districts run their
school buses. He knows all.

It seems Americans are too stupid to even consider the concept of double decker
buses if you need to move more ppl than fit in a single deck one !

See folks" He is _that_ stupid.

Yes. The difference between little London streets and the
metropolises contained in this country are vast.
There would be double decker spill overs everywhere. Most places
wouldn't support them at all due to the way our traffic light/power
line systems are strung.

He falls into the category of "Big Dope".

It wouldn't just have been Britain and Germany you clot !

So yes, the question was loaded, but it wasn't Monday morning

like: "If only Germany had done thus and such, she would have won."

I see terrorist attack doesn't make the top twenty then :) That war on
tobacco really needs to get started soon.

It has, thankfully. Most major cities in the US ban tobacco use in public
places, and several states are considering state-wide bans. Still perfectly
legal at home and in most places outdoors, but at least I can eat dinner in
a restaurant without smoke making me physically ill.

What does the USA get out of it ? Apart from terrorist attacks ?

Well, my personal feeling is that changing your foreign policy as
the result of terrorist attacks is _always_ wrong.

You'd be insane to ignore the reasons !

What reasons?

If you mean countries should adjust their policy at the whim of
bombers then I hope you never run for political office.

Like I said. You'd be insane not to consider the why of it.

Sorry, I don't understand. What do you mean the "why of it?"

I'm not sure how much clearer I can make it.

Why would ppl want to bomb us ?

Because some people are bad.
Sure but WHY ? Even bad ppl need some kind of reason !


There is an interesting twist on your posts. You appear to think it logical
to say all Americans want to do is bomb every one else and are happy for
pointing out that they are (generally) aggressive war mongerers.
OK.


Then in this line, you think it is possible to be in a situation where other
people
would not want to bomb us because ( I assume) we [tinw] are so good and
nice.
Until we got into the Iraq war they *didn't* !


In global politics it is never going to be possible to not offend someone.
Ever.
For sure. But there are degrees of pissing ppl off.


When that someone turns out to be mad, the risk of them retaliating is high.

Take this example. Dispute between country A and country B. Superpower A is
asked to help solve the dispute. Citizens of country B feel Superpower A
went against their best interests and bomb Superpower A a bit.

Superpower A, thinks I don't want to be bombed and changes its policy.

Now Country A (quite rightly) gets offended. Fortunately for them, the
precedence has been set and they bomb Superpower A for a while.

Superpower A, thinks I don't want to be bombed and changes its policy.

Can you see where this is heading?

Changing the policy of a democratically elected government in response to
violence or the threats of violence is (IMHO obviously) madness.
What if the policy was fundamentally wrong in the first place ? Are we not to
revise it for fear of being seen 'weak' ?

Not sure about spelling, but I've read some very well-researched
serious scholarly linguistic articles that say that the British English
accent at the time of the American colonies was very much closer to the
current New England accent than to the current variety of British
accents. It seems speech in the "colonies" was and is much more
conservative than speech in the mother land. I don't remember what
their evidence was, there are obviously no audio tapes to compare.

It has the potential (and that dreaded "ring of truth") however the
reality is possibly very, very far from the case.

Both sets of languages have had an equal time to "evolve" into their
current form. The US has been much more influenced by immigrant
linguistics over that period than England has, so I am inclined to doubt
the validity of the claim.

I suspect both languages are equally distant from the English spoken in
(say) 1775.

Yeah, I know, those were all *exactly* the same response I had when I
first heard the thesis. But I do remember that the evidence was
convincing. Dammit all, I wish I could remember where I read/saw that. I
don't expect you to take my word for it, but to me, it really was more
convincing than I've managed to convey.

It would be interesting to see it.

Some linguists even interpret the shifts in England as related to
blueblood Londoners putting on airs, and that accent subsequently
catching on in other parts of the country. I suspect this last part is
a bit of a stretch, but the whole thing is an interesting thesis. I
find it fascinating to think about how people spoke in the past, and
how language has evolved. Puts a whole new perspective in the various
new inner-city lexicons and pronunciations that have developed, even in
my lifetime.

Languages evolve all the time. Welsh is a good example.

Yep, that's what I find so fascinating. So, did Welsh get all the extra
consonants that would otherwise have gone with the vowels ("u") you
English stole? :^)


Yes. It is even funnier listening to their conversation because all the
modern words are in English. So you get "bable bable Television bable
bable microwave cooker bable bable" and so on.

Kind of like reading a Korean/Japanese/Chinese chemistry patent. A lot of
stuff that looks like Martian (for all I know), interspersed with chemical
names.

Military Police patrolling civilian towns is not normal... The fact

What was the idea behind the use of MPs ?

Civilian police were too undermanned to provide a suitable presence at
weekends and it was thought that most of the drinkers would be local
soldiers.

I can see the logic in that.

Possibly. It is wrong though. If you were a local civilian caught up in it,
how would you feel being arrested by Military Police?
I'd have thought they would only have the right to arrest soldiers. I imagine
they might detain civilians until the regular police could arrive.

It is interesting that instead of disagreeing with Eric's comments and
explaining why, the general response has been to criticise his imagined work
status.

Nothing I have seen in this thread seems to relate to his job and he has not
claimed professional authority based on his employment so what, on Earth,
does his job matter?

Unless this really is a pathetic attempt to "one up" on someone you think is
in a lower paid / less "exalted" job. If it is, you really should be ashamed
of yourselves.


It's just a bunch of obnoxious bitter old men and has-beens with no
real control over much of anything anymore. They've transferred their
lives to this ng. Their only way of one-upping is to degrade those not
espousing their POVs to below their level with name calling and
ridicule with no substance of fact.

Makes them look like school-yard bullies or teen-age gangs hanging out
on street corners.

Overall damn immature, and that goes for those bothering to keep it
going too.


Bitter? Are you sure? In truth, we enjoy watching morons prove
their stupidity, day by day, and hour by hour.
Positively so. All you have left is posing as powerful know-it-alls on
