He was an idiot to write what he did ,no matter how silly it was ,it had to be actioned.

I won't comment because it's a waste seeing that you won't reply to me.
If I did though, I'd say the more we tighten airport security, the more we play into they're hands.  

i think its mental. there are people getting away with murder. It was clearly a stupid angry tweet. i may go retweet it.

Why though - yeah it was totally stupid what he did but surely a slap on the wrist would suffice - to drag him through court and everything else just seem a little too far fetched for me.

His tweet probably cost a substantial amount of  time and man power to establish that he was indeed not a threat to security.
I just think in this climate they had no choice.
We will have to agree to differ.

I agree!!

I am now expecting to be arrested for expressing the desire to end the lives of a large variety of famous people (most notably Cameron and Clegg). I might get away in time if I run fast 

I never read links so I couldn't tell you  

Yes. Yes it is.

What about the hundreds of people who have re-tweeted the exact same message today? 

By now they know there was no actual threat, like there ever was 

So to disguise his terrorist intentions all Osama needs to do is get multitudinous followers to all simultaneously tweet their dastardly plans.

Or not bother announcing the order of events pre-caboom-time.

Both would work, I guess.

Why would he even bother? The whole thing is nonsensical. If you want to stop terrorism, ban religion. Simples.

What about the right to worship.

Hence the next sentence.

I'm sure I can fix you up with a hastily constructed stone idol of some sort for a fiver. Any particular preferences?

Do they hold services at Robin Hood Airport? 

I knew not to come on to this thread,more fool me .
I will not be replying.

Prom's thinking along the same lines as me. I think all religion is daft, but my opinion only  Everyone to their own but...........

Seems all reasonable convo to me. 

hahaha

Yes it was, they did'nt/could'nt even prosecute him under the Terrorism act....

If only we could turn the clock back to the days before Bush/Blair. Hornets nest springs to mind.

Wut, Thatch/Reagan?  3rd Summer o' Love that was....

Maybe if we went back to our 'Hunter Gatherer Days'?


Although, that was still a bit brutal.

Maybe if it was universally agreed that religion is in fact the root of all known evil we could just abolish it and get on with it without worrying we might be suddenly thrown into a war because some stupid git in a neighbouring country didn't like our interpretation of the bible or some other work of fiction.

That would be 'happy days'.

We would just fight over football teams, or X Factor, or something.

We would, but we wouldn't actually kill each other 

Are you sure?

I've got away with it so far. I'm saying nuffink 

*** checks Headhunters' register ***

To be fair, the bloke was a bit of a twonk by saying he was going to blow up an airport. Even though it was in jest, I suppose the powers took it as more of a mock as opposed to an active terrorist threat. Although if you walk down the street waving a toy gun around these days you can soon find yourself surrounded by a S.W.A.T team, if you tweeted that you were going to shoot someone then it's quite probable that you'd be asked a few questions.

But should it be going as far as it is? No. And I believe the authorities are just setting an example by carrying on with it, I really don't think they're doing it cos they think this fella is the secret lovechild of Bin Laden and operates within a cell. They're just using the press to get the message across that there are certain things, that in their opinion, are not acceptable humour. They didn't have to waste a load of tax payers money to do it though.

As for religion, if people want and choose to believe in God/Allah/Elvis/Bill from the chippie as their God then that's up to the individual. I don't believe anyone has the right to force their religion or disbelief of religion on another person. Don't stop it happening though

But worshipping Wagner is going too far, yes?

I dunno, I've wrongly worshipped wankers in the past. The missing K is neither here nor there, both are still wrong

I have to disagree. It is the right of every sane person to force their view on the utterly insane (i.e.religious lunatics who kill because of what they're brainwashed to believe from the day they're born). Instead, we are led to believe that the horrific acts performed by religious people are untouchable simply because it was in the name of their religion. Murder is 'understandable' under the protective veil of religion. Women as objects not people is allowed because of some badly re-written chapter of a religious book that was doctored to allow males to treat women like shit. There might be some aspects of organised religion that don't stink to hell and back. I have yet to see any of them.

I didn't see this last night, but I agree completely.

I can see where you're coming from totally, and in theory, I do agree with that. But even though most religions (from what I've seen) carry some of the most ludicrous beliefs, and if an individual chooses to follow that, then whilst you and me might think it's wrong on all counts, is it right to forcibly tell that person that everything they believe in is wrong? Also, don't you think that the more you tell a person it's wrong, the further they will go to prove it's right if they wholeheartedly agree with their faith?

To me, there are good and bad parts of every religion, some a hell of a lot more extreme than others, and a lot of people who do have a faith that has controversial beliefs have a convenient way of ignoring the bad stuff. It is brainwashing, and it's cleverly done with manipulation by concentrating on the 'good' side of the faith, making the individual believe that no matter what - their God is right. I'm asking because my friend's 16 year old has suddenly decided he wants to become a Muslim. She's going up the wall about it as she's obviously concerned with some of their beliefs and where it could lead to, but the more she's demanding he doesn't, the more he's defending it. I'm from a Catholic family and while I'm not a practising Catholic, a lot of my family are and I've got into some really interesting conversations about it in the past.


Gah I'm rambling (again!). I'm groggy but I know what I'm trying to say even though it ain't coming out right so just pretend to understand what I'm bangin on about ok?

I believe it is Karms. Because most of what's written that they grow up with is wrong. Either factually, or morally, usually both. It's an absolute absurdity that any child should be indoctrinated into any religion from an early age. They all have different agendas. Not a single one of them has anything even vaguely related to 'the greater good'.

It worked in China.


Oh, hang on!
