\_ Pick your favorite news service. Obviously the story is everywhere.
200,000 feet in the air over Texas when it disintegrated. No chance
of survivors. A dark day for us all.
\_ why's it a dark day for us all? It's only 7 people; we kill
that many in Iraq daily, and that's even before we invade.
\_ You're an idiot.
\_ Why is he an idiot? I think that's a relevent point
to consider.
\_ There's no relation or comparison to the two. That's
why he's an idiot. Only an ultra leftist Berkeley
quality sub-genius idiot would think like that. Thus,
he's an idiot. The same kind of idiot that wanted
sanctions instead of the gulf war and now makes pathetic
whimpering noises about how sanctions are killing
hundreds of millions of Iraqi children everyday. That
\_ in the end it's still 7 people. no one gave a shit
when 7 germans died in a helicopter crash in
afghanistan. some marines died that way too.
kind of idiot.
\_ the general point of its only being 7 people is valid
and no one gave a shit about the various people who
got killed in fuckups in afghanistan
\_ putting those 7 people into space involved the
dedicated efforts of hundreds of thousands and
the support of hundreds of millions of people.
\_ So does toppling brutal dictator Sharon.
\_ Perhaps you missed out on the recent elections
where your Jew hating Arab parties got crushed
and lost seats all over the place? Go compare
to the PLO 'elections'. Oh wait, they don't have
any.
\_ right, and if brutal dictator sharon were
killed in a big flash of light over texas,
that would be a big deal, too.
\_ Speculation of cause? Oldest shuttle, came in too hot at 200K feet,
heat shield failure, something decompressed.
\_ Don't fly with jews.
\_ Nando story says on takeoff, some debris fell and hit the
shuttle. They didn't think it would cause problems, but
maybe they were wrong.
\_ Apparently Columbia had just gone through major overhaul to
replace old parts, etc. |
