Of course that brings up the question of why would Al Qaeda drives plane into the buildings they already planted bombs?

@patawan, If you know your physics, then you would know there would be no way for those buildings to fall in freefall speeds. Falling top floors would hit the floor below and it would create a resistance. if you're interested about the subject, watch the video of engineers and architects http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8182697765360042032# it's a long video, but worth watching if you really wanna know the truth. These people are certified engineers and architects, it's their job to build a strong building that won't collapse on itself. Yes, even if a plane hits it. Look at the immense internal columns, to suggest that kerosine fire had melted the core of the building all the way to the first floor is psuedo science to me.
Also have you heard of Building#7? It went down about 2 hours after two towers went down. Do you have an opinion on how that happened? Have you seen it going down? Do you think fires brought down that building too? I don't mean to attack you ideas, just curious myself that how a man with a knowledge of physics would suggest that plane impact and fire on couple of floors can result to whole 110 floors being pulverized.

@ka_chan, do you even know what you're saying? Are you an architect? or engineer? Here's a video for you, watch what real experts are saying about "the design" of twin towers.

No I don't. What happened to building 7? Why does over 1200 architects and engineers are saying buildings don't fall the way they did at the event? Sorry to say, but if you believe the official story, you're stupid.

Yeah, only muslims can be terrorist, rest are just gunmans. When it first unfolded, they were sure it was Al-qaida. Even when they knew it was a blond european man, they said al-qaida recruiting blond europeans.

in the history of the organization they have never intentionally killed or harmed (bombed) anyone
You sure about that?
They certainly intentionally hurt people economically. I would call sinking peoples ships and then showing off about it pretty sick."
yes, I'm sure about that. Noone got seriously hurt. Japan claimed one of their sailors had a minor injury, that's it. All their actions has one goal, saving the lives of sea creatures from profit hunters. Killers of nature against protecters of nature.

Zenny, fair enough. Understand and respect your view. I on the other hand can't stand watching these great creatures being harpooned to painfull death. Not even one of them. I think their lives are hard as it is, natural conditions and predators are keeping their numbers down.
Calling seasheperd extreemists is a seperate issue and I don't think you're right on that. Extreemists would take extreeme measures to fight the situation. Throwing rancid butter to whalers doesn't qualify. Throwing bombs would. Fact is, they are keeping the number of dead whales to minimum. That's what matters. They haven't seriously hurt anyone either. So I'm with them all the way, same as all other people who beg them to do a good job and donate.

Zenny, Don't wanna start a long discussion on this, but anyone who doesn't agree that whales should be killed can not hate what Seasheperd is doing. If you have better idea, they are willing to hear. I think throwing stuff at them is just a last resort and way of showing their feelings. Other than that, whalers are as violent, if not more violent than they are. So I support any and every action taken by seasheperd. They are the ones braving the cold and isolation. They are the ones taking action, doing what they believe must be done, saving these magnificent creatures from painfull death.

Zenny, Their goal is to save as many whales as possible. Blocking the ship to bring the dead whale for processing prevents it from going and killing more whales. So, yes, one whale is not saved, but many others are this way. It's much better than throwing stuff at them and hope they feel bad about what they're doing. It's not a violent act either, just park their boat very close to the processign ship, noone can be hurt. Whalers must throw stuff at them to get them leave.

Time to donate to SeaSheperd again. They are the only ones that can stop the whalers. There will never be an agreement and Japan will do its best to kill as many whales as they can. Seasheperd was very effective in last years fight. They discovered a new method of stopping more whales to be transferred to processign ship which proved very effective. I'm very hopefull that they will keep the number dead whales to minimum.

Question is, why are they getting more often and more intense? I read somewhere that it's 6 times more than last year. When will it stop? Or will it be leading to wider dissaster? How about volcanic eruptions? Is it related? Is one big event causing these? There are some answers out there, but how can we believe anything they say.

Not a good example, second hand smoke can kill you. Someone taking emergency call while on the train should not bother anyone. Just don't do it? Noone can stop me taking emergency call, no matter where I am.

american_bengoshi, we're not living in a courtroom. There are exceptions. Noone should think twice to answer their calls, as long as it takes, if they are dealing with an emergency situation, no matter where they are. The old fart's actions in sarahsuz25's story can't be justified. There are more important things in life than keeping quiet in the trains, like dealing with emergency situation.

I'm glad someone had the courage to do something about the rude people in busses and trains who can't tolerate little bit of noise. Sometimes I feel like spraying them with something too.

I ma no way saying heroin or crack can be good for anyone, but it is time to re-asses the damage alcohol vs other drugs are causing, not just to one's health, but to the society. You don't want to see people high on drugs? I'm sure they don't puke as much as drunkers do.

Agreed 100%. All my old relatives have problem with Alcohol, none of them has drug problems. Most people I know have died either direct, or indirect effect of alcohol and cigs. Dr Hofman, the inventor of LSD lived to see 103. Alcohol kills anyone. Drugs only worsen the lives of careless, nothing to loose kind of people.

ReikiZen,
Understood, but issue is more than what they chose to eat, it's more like some minority of fisherman running these animals to the cove for selling them to aquariums and such. The ones that didnt' seel is not released back, but hacked to pieces and sold under false packaging as whale meat, forced into schoolchildren. It's just these fisherman trying to make more money on these innocent animals. They make sometimes upto $150.000 off a single dolphin, but greedy enough to heck the rest to pieces for just little more money.
It will change everything. Millions are aware of this horrible practice because of this documentary. How about the KobeKids post about the highschool kids reactions? Future is bright.
I deeply believe Japanese public will not be angered when seeing Cove. They will be the ones to put a stop to this. It's the yakuza fisherman that will be on the defensive, will say it's their culture and won't even care if they are poisioning people or themselves.
Yes, exactely! There is nothing more important than health of our children. If the meat contains mercury, end of the story.
