I'm not here to say "I told you so.", because I knew he was a shithead to start.

But, I digress. This kid goes around starting shit like this for fun. He might play TW. lol

[ConcreteSchlyrd]

Now I'm convinced that this kid is a shithead. "Free Andrew Meyer"?

I'm starting my own "Lock Up Andrew Meyer For His Own Good" website.

Like I give a FUCK about Norway.

PS Intelligent Euros: Most of my slander is in jest or to piss morons off and ruin threads. I mean, some of them do a very good job of proving my points but don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to stereotype even a nation, much less a continent.

Shut up Euro-scum-Da1. We don't read your posts with our superior eyes!

[Da1andonly]

hehe genocidal

"because Euros are used to being sheep to their governments" - and then you use France of all possible euro countries

Typical Euro who thinks they know US politics; I second the ignore notion. No offense but your analysis on the bush,fear, and dictator relationship is so laughable it hurtzz.Aside from your first paragraph, the rest is pretty spot on the suing and civil law.

So a euro cannot have an opinion about usa politics? You're politics effect ours. (the veto option usa pulled, for example, about invating iraq while the UN clearly gave a red flag. Now we have to help clean up shit we didn't want to get into in the first place). Me being 'outside the box' might give a strong analytic view on the mather? Just sum up what bush has implied and what he's telling the public why he's doing it. "ok we can bypass the rights you have as a civilian (if suspected as a terrorist) in order to keep the country safe". (uhh??)

fyi: I'm not talking about what i pick up from cnn because, in fact, my gf is born/raised [edit] is a jersey girl, 10 mins from nyc [/edit] (now improving in amsterdam) so we actually have quite alot of discussions on this mather.

But don't get me wrong. I do understand not all americans agree with the bush politics, hence almost 50% didn't vote for him. So to make a generalization about a yank, in this time, would be the dumbest thing ever. Point is, bush isn't the lovely patriotic Texan lackey from the heartland who loves football. <- now that makes me laugh so bad it hurtzz.

My school had a stabbing the first day of classes that I, suprisingly enough, watched first hand. There was a pretty old guy screaming a state-of-the-nation-esque manifesto outside our student center that sounded like mostly nonsense to me but I was pretty far away. At first I thought it was Ward Churchill for some odd reason, but the closer I got the more he looked like a busriding crazy. I had class for fifteen minutes so I stayed for a couple, there weren't any officials there yet but more and more students were attracted to the man taunting, "IS THIS ALL ENTERTAINING YOU? AM I GIVING YOU PLEASURE? I STAND FOR blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda..." Right around this time a traffic cop and a parking ticketer made their way over and then the guy started yelling that he had a bomb in his backpack and he had his hand in his pocket where he claimed to have a detonator. I was thinking about leaving right then, for safety's sake, but curiosity kept me glued. I had been there for maybe five minutes or so when a kid walked out of the building the man was standing on the steps of and unknowingly made his way towards the crowd. He was a freshman and probably oblivious. I was swimming in dramatic tension. The kid attempted to walk past the man but he grabbed him from behind, took out a knife, and slit along his neck. Then he stabbed himself about seven times as cops flooded in to attend to the kid, and to tazer the man to cease from stabbing himself. The blood drenched the concrete and he kept yelling for at least two more minutes while being repeatedly tazered. It was out of this world, I had never seen anything like it before. I stood and watched for a little while longer but eventually made my way to class. On the way I heard normal campus banter but suddenly everything seemed very far away but I was angry that these kids were discussing schedules and Spanish class. The kid is doing alright now, I think, and they took the assailant to the hospital, too. It is just bizarre how someone can snap and everyone is in danger.

Not that I meant to derail the thread, but the tazer reminded me.

European countries have far more surveillance than the US. Hell, you're pretty much on videotape in every big city in England constantly unless you're in your house. The difference is, Americans complain about it while you guys eat it up because you think your government is there to keep you safe and healthy (i.e. not news-worthy).

Thank you for the details about Norway, do you have anything else to add?

bottom line: the guy was a douche, they used excessive force on him. someone takes the fall, probably the campus police, nothing changes on the whole

Then I thought about if I would have spoken up. It's really sad how apathetic my generation is.

He's a middle class white boy. No one cares about them.
