Out of the ones listed I picked Ten Years Gone, but there are so many others that I love just as much...The Rain Song, The Rover, Kashmir, No Quarter, That's The Way.

At the weekend I brought home an abandoned guinea pig from my local pet adoption centre. I have called her Betty and she's incredibly cute. I will post a photo on the pet thread once she's settled in. She's rather camera shy at the moment.

Without sounding too pedantic, Knebby you used the quote first on this thread and them some other members supported your line of argument, hence my use of the plural term 'some members'. I didn't want to single you out for criticism. There's no resentment on my end. If you stand by principles in the quote, that's fair enough.

I saw if a few months back, and really enjoyed it. Yes, the heaven sequences are rather 'surreal'. I finally got around to seeing The King's Speech last night. It was as good, if not better than I was expecting. A great screenplay and first-rate acting from the entire cast. It makes me mourn the loss of the UK Film Council even more. -
Finally getting around to tidying up my office at home. It's great to have an organised work space.

Exactly, in fact it was on the BBC news website that the week Bin Laden died, this was one the most misquoted quotes being used. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-13265368 Maybe some members should check their facts before posting.

Deborah, as always on here, yours is the voice of reason. I just heard on the news that the CIA found documents in Bin Laden's den indicating that has was planning a major attack on the US on the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

You must be exhausted. I do hope he's feeling better soon.

Kiwi I just read about your disaster with your new shoes on the forum! I hope your feet are recovering! Bathing them in warm salt water will help with the blisters. I've had that happen to me before, some shoes you just can't 'break-in'.

The only way to get your 'cold hard facts' is for people to die. I'm sure MI5 could tell you how many people pass through Bluewater Shopping Centre everyday, and an estimate of how many would have been killed if that bomb had been detonated. Maybe you could take a look at MI5's website which provides more details about the current threats to the UK: https://www.mi5.gov.uk/output/international-terrorism.html

Does this not constitute proof? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/6195914.stm http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/oct/30/uk-security-crime We should be thankful our intelligence agencies are so effective in doing their job.

Lots of potential terrorist attacks have been thwarted. If you think about attacks on the UK alone, thousands of lives have potentially been saved.
-
I agree with you Reggie. As I said in my first post on this thread, the death of Bin Laden means justice for all those who lost loved ones on 9/11. Something a lot of members here seem to be overlooking. However, Al-Qaeda, or at least some variant of it, will continue, and as allies Britain and the US should focus on dealing with that.
-
Many congrats on doing so well in your exam Kiwi! Enjoy your break, you certainly deserve it. I haven't seen The King's Speech yet. I must be of the few that hasn't. I'm hoping to finally get to see it sometime next week.

That's true, Hitler was an advocate of what was called National Socialism in Nazi Germany. Although the term itself is somewhat of a contridiction since Marx never believed that socialism could thrive in nation states.
-
My comments weren't aimed at you at all. There's no misinterpreting (at least on my part) going on. What I was saying is that we can't fight terrorism with the 'love thy enemy' mentality that some members, not including yourself, are subscribing to on here. Believe me, there's no 'flag waving' going on here either. Bin Laden had to be taken down, but there will inevitably be retaliation. No one wins in a sitaution like this.
-
The members here who support the 'love thy enemy' line of argument are standing on very thin ground in my view. Al-Qaeda is an ideology that seeks to take over the world by creating extreme Islamic states in all territoires, including the US, through violence. Do you really think we can fight this kind of movement with love and compassion? If you think we can, you might as well surrender right now and relinquish all the rights you currently hold. Bin Laden deserved to die. I don't think I lack compassion for saying that.

Justice at last, but the war goes on. He was 'buried at sea', rather his body was dumped in shark infested waters I hope!

Hi missy, I hope you're doing well. I've been away from the forum for a couple of months (hectic work life!), but I'm posting again now. I'm looking forward to chatting with you again.

I saw that at the cinema on New Year's Eve. It's a great film, and yes, it reminds you what a tyrannical ideology communism was (is). -

^^It doesn't look as bad as the awful Tim Burton remake, but nothing is going to have the same impact as the original Planet of the Apes.
