Thank you all for your birthday wishes...You too, Hansi.
It almost makes it worth getting older.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
 
Thanks to all those who have been in touch after the events in Sydney of the last day and night. It was a small thing by world standards, but a shock to a nation unaccustomed to the effects of extremism.

Phlebas, condolences from Tree. I was off work on 9-11-2001 and watched on TV the second plane hit the trade center. Whether it is one or three thousand killed it is a tragedy... We are in trouble if we do get accustomed to such acts

Other than that they are bipeds, there is no definition of 'human' that overlaps with their activities, beliefs, or behaviour.
 
Some things are too terrible to speak of, even to think about...

I don't know of any members here from Peshawar - we have very few from Pakistan, unsurprisingly, though I know of one.

Phlebas reports from Sydney that he and his friends and colleagues are okay, only affected by travel disruption while the siege was going on there.

Thank you Tree. Yes, I remember the shock of 911, it felt to me like the world had changed, and then to discover that our own Taryn had died that day . . . . . . it was a very bad time. Even now it upsets me.

The events in Pakistan put Sydney in perspective, so terrible, unimaginable to many of us, that people could set out to do this. The Sydney hostage taker was, it seems, a disturbed man with a history of criminal and anti-social acts. I don't think the Taliban have even that thin excuse.

I was at home the day of the siege, but I have walked through Martin Place each day since. The area around the cafe is screened off, everything else is now open, but not normal. There are so many people there, many people who have clearly come into the centre just to be there, and today there was a long line of people waiting their turn to lay flowers. Many of those coming to pay respects and lay flowers are Muslim.

Okay Squirrel, we surrender!
What's going to persuade you to stop destroying the planet?

This is one of the most cockamamie articles I have read in a long time. This is an example of how far the "Climate Change" crowd have lowered themselves, political theater mascarading as so called scientific studies. The article is like one I read awhile back that said cows may be contributing to Global Warming because they poop to much.... too much methane:eek: They can't seem to decide whether to call it Global Warming or cooling, so they just call it Global Change now.
Next thing they will want to do is wage a war on rodents:eek:
Better watch out RacingRodent.....they are coming for you next:devil:.
