I'm extremely angry about the events of yesterday - I think its disgusting and immoral. I'm a little disturbed that this topic was opened just 5 days before it happened, believing in premonitions and such, but, well, sometimes things like that happen.

Anyway, my friend was knocked into a coma by a piece of flying metal. Her family, thankfully, escaped with minor cuts and bruises. But my friend being so hurt has affected me deeply. It may be way down on the other end of the island, but its still hurting us all up here. I don't care what measures the government has to take here to avenge the deaths. Al Quieda have claimed responsibility, but I expect several Islamic militant groups shall claim responsibility throughout the week, so its too early to take any claims seriously.

My dad raised a very interesting point yesterday - He doesn't think Al Quieda truly exists. His theory is that its a lot of different Islamic groups using the united name because its one we would recognise. Interesting point.

Kirstie, I am sorry to hear about your friend. I hope she is getting better.

When something like this happens, the whole country is in shock, but when you are personally involved because you, or a loved one or a friend have been present by this. It affects you more. And you'll probably have the memory of it for a long time.

I think that point your dad made is a very good one, and obviously relivant. I mean, this group claiming to be a secret European
group of Al Quieda, claiming to have done it, there could be plenty more groups out there who use the same name. Go by the same rules, believe in the same faith etc.

...And a lot of these "secret" groups are full of people who the government let slip through the immigration process, and given permission to stay here...and then there are the ones who sneaked in, and the government, and immigration authorities dont even know they are here! :-\

Yeah. There are a number of people who have slipped through and who are at risk of setting off bombs etc, planning attacks, but there are alot of people who come into this country, who some people think are dangerous, the British people think are dangerous, but their not. They're just people who have had to escape or just left their own country because they have goverment issues or problems with their own goverment, and their rule.

Ok, rant over.... Sorry..

Anyway, Waelith, yes, I agree, some of these groups and societies are set up in this country and around Europe and we have no idea how many of them, there are, do we?

No we don't and it seems they grow out of the ground like mushrooms.
I just want to say how deep this attacks touched us here in New Zealand. A lot of colleagues are from UK and at least nearly everybody has been at least once in London. Well, I was there several times and I love the city and her people. And it hurts to see the places I know so well destroyed and spoiled by this attacks. But even more I am troubled about the many losts of life and the many injured victims.  What can men do against such reckless hate? And will it ever end?

Will it ever end?  Apparantly not.  Some bright sparks have just set off dummy bombs on the tube and on a bus.   >(

The attacks were atrocious and anyone who was injured in the attacks or knew anyone who died as a result you have my deepest sympathy. It was a shock and I watched the news all day but we must not let them win, we must carry on with our lives. This new warfare will not defeat us, we are strong and with the help of our friends and families we can come through this. Terrorists want attention to put a stop to our normal lives. I rarely travel to London but after the attacks I actaully wanted to go and see some of the sights that our magnificant capital has to offer.

You can't put a price on life.

As for the fundamentalist terrorism, I can't say anything for fear of sounding racist, which I am certainly not.

I think it's disgusting how thats all people think about when they lose a family member...MONEY

Totally unrelated, but I saw something on the front of a newspaper where a girl died and the cannabis smoking driver only got fined £60 for her death.....god, I hate people.

Bearing in mind that no amount of money can change the fact that a loved one has died, why don't the government instead use the money they would give to the families, to help put measures in place to stop this sort of thing happening again?

This topic kinda crosses over with immigration, which I'd be interested to hear people's opinions on.
