hava? Any thoughts on this?

No. It is targeted at young men and women who grew up on 80's horror - a specific statement for a specific audience.hava007 wrote:Is it worth the agony ? anything new ?
hey thanks hava, now here's another weird thing: in the US they spell the Leiberman the same way and refer to Avigdor as Avi, rhyming with "abby," or at least on NPR. So what do you think the second grade teacher interviewed at length on a local NPR station and then repeated on the national show is named? Right, Abby Clements, who added the bit about the PA being on so students could hear gunshots and screams while she read them stories:hava007 wrote:probably the technology of MK is now at the disposal of numerous parties, so its really part of life now, or social life, we will get used to that too, I suppose. and if digressing, how come this board did not deal with Burma/Obama ? his speech there was embarrassing.

The whole things seems to have been at least an hour. Just another coincidence I suppose, like hurricane Sandy and Sandy Hooks elementary. What gives me pause is that Aurora also happened on a day of dismal news for the anti-Assad crowd, as Assad basically ran the "opposition" out of Allepo on the very day they planned to close their pincers and send Assad and his government to the next world. Didn't happen, and then kaboom, Aurora, at nearly the exact same moment.

http://www.theonion.com/articles/fuck-e ... rts,30743/Fuck Everything, Nation Reports
WASHINGTON—Following the fatal shooting this morning at a Connecticut elementary school that left at least 27 dead, including 20 small children, sources across the nation shook their heads, stifled a sob in their voices, and reported fuck everything. Just fuck it all to hell.
All of it, sources added.
“I’m sorry, but fuck it, I can’t handle this—I just can’t handle it anymore,” said Deborah McEllis, who added that “no, no, no, no, no, this isn’t happening, this can’t be real.” “Seriously, what the hell is this? What’s even going on anymore? Why do things like this keep happening?”
Continued McEllis, before covering her face with her hands, “Why?”
Despairing sources confirmed that the gunman, armed with a semiautomatic assault rifle—a fucking combat rifle, Jesus—walked into a classroom full of goddamned children where his mother was a teacher and, good God, if this is what the world is becoming, then how about we just pack it in and fucking give up, because this is no way to live.
I mean, honestly, all 315 million Americans confirmed.
“Well, I suppose we have to try to pick up the pieces and make some sort of sense of this tragedy and—you know what? Fuck it, I can’t do this,” said Connecticut resident Michael Zaleski, his remarks understandable given the circumstances, because, holy shit, what else can one say? “I’m sorry, but I can’t fucking do this. Can you? Can anyone?”
Witnesses said the gunman fired at least 100 rounds during his deadly rampage, which, according to children in the school—goddamnit, how? How? Twenty children. Dead. In a fucking school.
No. No, no, no.
“I just feel so [why does it even matter what this person said when no words can bring 20 dead kids back to life?]” said some person who, just like everyone else, is completely unable to process or handle any of this. “It’s awful. Just too awful to bear.”
Americans reported feelings of overwhelming disgust with whatever abhorrent bastard did this and with the world at large for ever allowing it to happen, as well as with politicians, with the NRA, and above all with their own pathetic goddamn selves, sitting in front of a fucking computer instead of doing fucking anything to help anyone—Christ, as if that were even fucking possible, as if anyone could change what happened, as if the same fucking bullshit isn’t going to keep happening again and again and fucking again before people finally decide it’s time to change the way we live, so what’s the point? What the hell is the goddamned point?
“I…” said Tom Miller, 27, after reading an article about the tragedy online. “I just…”
“…” he added.
At press time…screw it, there’s nothing else to say.
