OH GEEZ! After having seen THIS, we were FOOLS to have not known this was going to happen! rolleyes.gif


Agreed. Too much time on their hands, and too much of a fixation on trying to find hidden meanings in a senseless tragedy.

It is amazing how many meaningless coincidences you can find in any single event.

Anyone ever seen the e-mail comparing the assination of Abraham Lincoln and John Kennedy?

So, I have had a thought cross my mine many times that really is terrible and probably shouldn't be said, but I sometimes think the government did this.... just so patiotism would be "cool" again and so Bush could look like a genius after all the jokes of him being "dumb". Sorry to affend people, but I'm mad I thought of it too, I DON'T agree with the idea at all, it is just a thought sad.gif

I don't think we landed on the moon, but that's another story.
