    Months (or even weeks) if you're in Europe. Regardless of how we/everyone/the media/governments try to play it all down it does seem to be on the increase. How long will it be before it's one of our friends or family members injured or killed in a future attack (that we're told by our elites that "we have to learn to live with")? What I don't understand is why people who disagree/dislike our way of life don't just move somewhere more amenable rather than staying here, getting angry with everything and then attacking innocent bystanders?

    Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

    You got that wrong, methinks : They are terrorists. They come here on purpose to hit us, because they are not satisfied with the fact the we "interfere" with their lives in Middle-East.

      I'm afraid that most "terrorists" were actually born here - many in long-established communities that bear little or no resemblance to the country they're actually in.

            So disagreeing with a sentiment is criticism, now, is it? So now I'm not only a hijacker, but also a critic? Y'know, I only ever insult two people, within CP, and they've bloody well earned it. Maybe others should follow my example, and discuss opinions -- whilst allowing others to have differing opinions -- rather than insult people personally. If no-one is allowed to express opinions that are different from the one of the OP, then CP will become pretty damned dull, pretty damned fast.

                Media tells us he is working alone; seven arrests made and six properties raided. Media won't disclose any information about attacker but raids are in Birmingham where there are huge enclaves of Muslim communities. Apologists already out in force to plead that not all Muslims are terrorists. When the media can no longer withhold information that the attacker is a Muslim already known to the police we'll be told they have a mental illness. Then next month the attacks will be coming to a town near you. What a tedious treadmill we all find ourselves on.....

                      Whilst we're at it, let's offer our prayers to all the people in London who got run over by cars, who slipped in the bath and died, who died of some disease or other, who died of old age, who sneezed too hard and killed passersby with their dentures, who took overdoses of drugs and died, who were murdered by people who are criminals, not ter'r'rists, etc, etc, etc. Then let's approve spending another handful of million quid on letting security forces spy on us, purportedly to protect us from the one nutter every few years with a knife, who's labelled as a ter'r'rist.

                      Of course you're forgetting the foiled attempts. 12 last year in the UK. Which would bring it closer to a nutter a month. with varying degrees of casualties and probably result in more restrictions than you currently put up with. Airports closed for days, enormous queues at any public attraction. Being searched when you enter any public place etc.

                            Because when I read it it smacked of sarcasm. If I have read more into it than was intended, then i apologise.

                                      Don't recall seeing much of that at all. In fact probably the exact opposite.

                                        So disagreeing with a sentiment is criticism, now, is it? So now I'm not only a hijacker, but also a critic? Y'know, I only ever insult two people, within CP, and they've bloody well earned it. Maybe others should follow my example, and discuss opinions -- whilst allowing others to have differing opinions -- rather than insult people personally. If no-one is allowed to express opinions that are different from the one of the OP, then CP will become pretty damned dull, pretty damned fast.

                                          My point still stands: the vast majority of Christians aren't paedophiles, just as the vast majority of Muslims aren't terrorists. Unfortunately, we live in a world where it's necessary to regularly point that out to the crowds of rabid morons who think that the entire group is responsible for the actions of a tiny minority. It won't stop the hard-core wuckfits from blaming every member of the group, but it might help the borderline imbeciles stop and think before they launch an attack on innocent members.
