what is happening in the world?

a mall just exploded nearby. many children wounded or dead,
many people lost a parent or a sibling. the bomber was a 19
years old chemistry student, who was the first one to die.
no motive for this suicide bomb.

200 tourists die in bali. a bomb.

and thats just the top of it all. what the hell is going
on?!

i dont think these two events are connected in any way.

i think the one in finlad was by some kid gone nuts when his
girlfriend broke up or something.. possibly inspierd by the
recent bombs and stuff plus his chemestry skills. probably
thinking: my life sucks and since im going to kill myself
why not make alot of other people suffer too..

in bali probably anti western radical muslims.

crazy lunatics that want to fight and one for ppl that want
to live in peace and listen to good music+everything that
goes along :)

i know they are not related - the only thing relating them
is that a lot of people die in a very bad way and these
events are going on more often nowadays.

I agree with you there, I thinks it's just that it's being
broadcasted more often, and not kept so hush hush.

If you think about it, there's probably 1,000's of other
murders etc that don't even make it to the news !

its not getting more violent-ppl are beeing vasted daily in
africa, and not many ppl care-we usually start thinking
about it when it happens in "civilized" world

but the thing is that nowadays we have all this "wisdom" and
"knowlegde" and "rights" people did not have hundreds of
years ago. that it what makes it depressing.

(it does not mean that the violence in middle aes would hae
been acceptable in any way)

buy this "everything is getting more violent"-thing. its
more apparent.

the idea of "human rights" is wonderful, I'm all for it, but
basically people are still egocentric creatures.. and yes,
that sucks.. :(

they have no evidence supporting that it what yet Al-Qaeda
from what ive heard. they are jsut blaming them because its
the trend of the time..

the reason it seems like more terrorist stuff is going on is
that media focuses on it alot right now.

things are more apparent these days, with the advent of the
internet. I imagine that it's easier to get excited while
we're on the brink of war..

we are always told we have all these great RIGHTS and that
it is good that we are more aware. but in the same time
people care even less.

well maybe the heightened awareness of all the crap in the
world also desensitizes people in a way - like an overload.

no.

George Bush senior is The Antichrist.

But because of our rules for serving presidential terms, his
actions must be carried out by his demon-spawn, "Dubya"...

i wouldn't call that a cliche. it is a very ood metaphor to
symbolize the force that eventually will destroy it all.

so if that is your idea of a cliche i'd say, you are stupid.
:)

no really i must admit it is sort of a cliche but try to
find a better expression for it.
