Following the recent horrific bombing of rush-hour trains in Spain, President George W Bush gave an historic press conference outside of Camp David where he had retreated for the week to do jigsaws and potato-paintings of tanks.
Standing sombrely safely within the camp, President Bush began his speech, pausing only for dramatic effect and the correct pronunciations of really big words through his ear-piece.
“Ladies and Generalmen, what happened in France is a terrible, terrible act of despicable terror. We show our support and solidarity with that brave country by doing absolutely nothing and privately using this as an excuse to ramp up the Home Protection Act, which gives us powers to look into your brains with big space lasers and see if you are a communist. But rest assured, Al-Queda is to blame. Not ETA or other minor separatist terror groups operating for almost 40 years. Nope, it’s Al-Queda without doubt. I have here some intelligence that proves, beyond any pail of a doubt, that those evil Arabs did it.”
(at this point, it should be noted that President Bush showed an impressively thick sheaf of papers, which he wiggled aloft like a newborn baby. But a baby made of paper and badly-researched intelligence from 12 year old thesis reports downloaded with Kazak)
“So you can see, our detention of people that couldn’t run away fast enough in Afghanhoundiran is entirely justified. Now, I’m aware that major media outlets around the world are criticising Camp X-Ray for torturing people held without charge for over two years. But the actions of evil killer Muslims today prove that surely it’s safer to snatch and torture innocent civilians away from your prying, do-goody eyes than it is to simply let this happen.
Ok, so it did happen despite the moral outrage and international condemnation of the tactics and treatments in Guantanemo. And I grant you, it would appear that the terror attacks in Germany today do indicate that our actions in detaining people without charge indefinitely would actually appear to be doing nothing at all to combat terrorism. But surely you can see how it might be a good thing, and today that is what this is all about.
Al-Queda is an evil, barbaric group and I can conclusively report that they are to blame for everything in the entire world. Take it from me and pa, Hussein was only the first. Many many more former CIA-backed dictators will be brought to justice and whisked to godknows where.
So, Al-Queda does all the bad things in the world. And we suggest that you stay indoors and watch quality entertainment shows on Fox Network and drink lots and lots of alcohol to keep you stupid and oblivious. And should you feel the need to fear and loathe anybody not White Anglo-Saxon, then we shall assist you by creating lots and lots of big movies with Muslims, Arabs and darkies as the villains.
You have nothing to fear but evil-eyed immigrants who wish to do you harm, steal your grandmother and possibly want to borrow your hedge-strimmer and never give it back.”
Following this press conference, most major news networks decided to agree with the unofficial suggestion from government to not report the recently-freed innocent British civilians held without charge and subjected to mental/physical torture. They also agreed to never ever mention Saddam Hussein, indeed a recent poll shows that 87% of the public have completely forgotten about the now-disappeared former “Most Evil Man in The World”.
Chuck Deadweight, 43, said “Hell, ah figured that Hoo-sayn was dead. We saw that eye-raki being yanked from the ground like a weed and stuff, but since then there’s been nothin’ on the toob ‘cept war movies and adverts for beer”
Prime Minster Tony Blair was asked for his opinion, and offered little of interest in between that insincere, crocodile-smile he employs when feeling pressured.
He also refused to comment on the vandal that broke into the House of Commons and scrawled on the despatch box “Blair is a c###” (as in today’s Daily Mail, Express and Times).
Al-Queda spokesman, Neruh-Al-Jihad expressed outrage at the attacks in Spain.
“It sucks man, we’re getting blamed for that and everything else. I swear, we’re the bogeyman now. Used to be, after September 11th, you heard Al-Queda and were afraid. But now we’re responsible for everything from obesity in Americans to the decline in quality of recent Simpson episodes, people are losing the fear and respect we crave. It’s like, the boy who cried Camel and stuff. Pretty soon, Al-Queda will mean nothing, and we’ll have to strike with even more horrific attacks just to keep our membership in the Evil Groups Club”
When asked if the constant linking of Al-Queda to every single little incident anywhere on the planet would mean that, eventually, people thought of them as little more than a footnote in history, instead of the threat that they are, President Bush had this to say:
”Remember the Ayotollah? He was evil for a bit. As was Gadaffi. We used to hate those guys, but after a couple decades of insurgence, US-backed death squads and the rigging of elections to ensure a West-friendly dictator was installed, we like them now. Trust me, in 10 years from now, we’ll be inviting Bin-Laden back to America to chat to Rumsfeld again, like we did with Hussein in the 1980s. Right during his gassing period, strangely! It’s a wacky world I tells ya!”
A poll conducted with the British public to ascertain their feelings on the “War” on terror revealed that the average Briton was more concerned over who would win Big Brother and what happened in Eastenders.
Sociology Professor Dr. Hfuurrhhurrr was quoted as saying “Classic Ostrich syndrome, with the head in the sand and pretending everything is ok, things will never change. As long as it isn’t happening on their doorstep, nobody seems to care really.”
Indeed, it would appear that people are only too happy to read scare stories in tabloid newspapers and view strangers with fear and suspicion.
The Daily Mail knew exactly who is to blame in a 3-page pullout entitled
”Gays! Evil single mum muslim gays die die die”.
This article played up to the stereotype of the illegal immigrant smuggling themselves over inside a banana to move in next door to your granny and try to tempt her into Islam with a nice bit of fish (probably a BOMBFISH!!!!) and also managed to suggest that teenagers having sex were part of the problem.
As it stands, the recent attacks in Spain are being laid firmly at the door of Al-Queda. Whilst this does provide a decent excuse to bump the story of tortured, innocent civilians from the national conscience, it also allows a climate of bigotry, misunderstanding, hate and fear to prevail.
But don’t worry, because Eastenders may be going 5 nights a week soon.
So stay indoors, consume the opiate programming and be safe in the knowledge that your government is combating the war on terror.
By encouraging ignorance, rewarding stupidity and from refusing to even consider spending the billions they do on weapons on educating and helping the poor, young members of a culture that views The West with suspicion, hatred and fear.
A cycle that will never end as long as you keep swallowing lies and excuses instead of demanding action.

What I've noticed in the past few days is Bell's very strange way of looking at things, he will chase down trivial and quite meaningless points whilst forgetting about the larger, more important, arguments and "the big picture".
It seems Bell is continually trying to draw threads away from the real points being made, though he is largely unsuccessful with these attempts.
It also seems that people feel that there really is little to be gained from actually having a discussion with Bell anymore because he doesn't answer their questions and seems preoccupied with meaningless and trivial point scoring.
So now it appears that Bell has been reduced to the jester of the life forum that people will poke every-so-often to hear him say cretinous, yet unconsciously amusing, things.

*sigh* it's not a joke about terrorism, you slack-jawed hick. It's mocking people, people like you, who jump to attention and start singing the US national anthem the moment the word 'terrorism' is mentioned. And judging by this thread he's done quite a good job of it.
It is not, repeat NOT joking or making light of terrorism.

No, I believe your exact comment was actually something like: "Waah waah I'm Goatboy, my uncle died so I think I'm better than you," or something equally appaling. I can dig it out if you want.

No one has said it wasn't Al-Qaeda. Not once. No, what you've done is got confused, like you always do, and mistaken Goaty's blatantly humourous post about the media perception of terrorism for something else. Then you've run yourself into circles, tripped over your own argument and made yourself look a fool. Like always.

Yup. Ever heard the phrase "If I don't laugh, I'll cry"? And, as has been explained, the terrorism wasn't the subject of the joke. It was the media reaction that was the butt. However, you're too dumb and far too fat to acknowledge that. If you wanna slither up to the moral high ground, you need to have some morals.

'Along the lines of'? Heh...yeah, it was definitely along those lines. The proverbial-taking that you did as well, the insults you hurled and rather poor jokes you made...tell me (now how did you put it), is 9/11 a worthy subject of those jokes and humour?

Yeah, and heres hoping that in their quest to target enormous structures, they try and detonate a bomb under your pimply and remarkably lardy buttocks.
However, getting reasonably serious for a moment, this point of yours has been addressed by both Goaty and Bell, and they also addressed the fact that you contradicted yourself about it within 3 posts.

Yes I'm a hypocrite for not playing by another hypocrite's rules that he doesn't even apply to himself half the time.
Makes perfect sense.
Makes perfect sense.
It's a summary of everything in the last year where he thinks he hasn't been made to look an absolute tool. Rather light reading innit?
What's that a summary of, exactly?
Oh, points you just wanted to make.

So, in summary;
a) Is terrorism a worthy subject of jokes and humour?
b) My comments to Goatboy at that time were along the lines of he had no more or less right to say what should have happened in response to 9/11 than someone who had not lost someone.
c) What does Hedfix do?
d) Al-Qaeda does indeed look like the ones who did Madrid, and who it appears have threatened France today, and whom the Chief Of Police in London has today gone on record as saying are operating in London and the UK and will eventually attack.

I'm not saying that Bell doesn't run away from topics; he does and we've all seen it many a time. I was just saying that in that particular sentence he was arguing that Hedfix was/is a hypocrite.
Just to clarify. :)

Heh. Were it not for the fact that I've already tried avoiding Bell's questions in a long previous thread, then confronted him with exactly what I was doing (i.e. what he does) and asked him to then justify why he did it, then Bell would indeed have a point.
As is, when I did that, Bell ran away saying that he'd never come back. For someone with such an inordinately bloated and distended set of guts, he shows a complete lack of 'em here...

I'll have to agree with Bell on one point there - he was saying that if Hedfix is avoiding topics he can hardly criticise others for doing so, which is a fair point. I don't think Bell was trying to argue with hedfix for avoidance, but hypocrisy. Although it's not as if Belldandy hasn't had his fair share of that over the years...
But the Google point still stands.
