[*mipadi*]

It probably has more to do with the G8 summit than the Olympics.

[xFaith]

G8 summit? sorry whats that? >_<

[*krnxswat*]

I just heard!! I was watching the news! James!! awww

Are you alright??

No, he's not. That's why he created this topic.

Jeebus. People these days.

[DanielleMaria05]

Omg. Thats scarry. I'm glad you and your family are alright physically....


RIP to all that were lost

[hiromi]

oh my... Ah ah ah that's horrible. I'm guessing it's probably the french... gosh this is horrible T_T;;

EDIT: Nope, just found out it was middle eastern terrorists. They also threatened italy and a few other countries to back out of Iraq, so yeah...

[toodlepops.]

I wanted to make this topic, but ooh well.
I'm glad your dad is okay. Good thing for him. =)

RIP

[*mipadi*]

G8 summit? sorry whats that? >_<

It's a summit going on in the UK right now. The G8 is stands for Group of 8 and is made up of the 8 richest nations in the world: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the UK, and the US. They meet to discuss things like economic development (especially in Third World countries), global warming, and economics in general. The summit is often opposed by those against globalization.

[Saeglopur]

I'm glad you're safe. RIP to those people who died.

[sm0kinm0nky]

yeah i saw that on tv like an hour ago, sucks.

[Spirited Away]

I'm relieved you're okay, James. The world is a crazier place everyday.

[ichigofan]

RIP>to all who died
three minutes before I turned on the TV I was talking to my friend about the olympics and how I am so excited that London got it instead of NY although Im from New York and Then we turn on the TV and we see that London was bombed... HOLY MACROLE noone and No place is Safe anymore =/

[jeSs1cA]

Wow, it's 11 here, and I just woke up to my mother coming in my room and telling me this. I'm happy to know that everyone in here from London (James) is safe. And may all those who died Rest In Peace!

noone and No place is Safe anymore =/

agree with you completely.

[Mr. Slowjamz]

sorry to hear that = / ....definitelty reminds me of 9/11...hope you safe there

[Individualityy]

RIP to the 33 people that died..hopefully no more will be reported dead.

It's scary isn't it? They're attacking all of the modes of transportation.

1. It was planes during September 11th.
2. Now it's buses and subways..

What's next..ships? Cruise ships? Army ships?

[ConfuzeredNetwor...]

i still cant believe they bombed london!!! Im from the US but i <3 england!

I know my friend took a trip to london w/ her family this week... i hope shes ok too..

[Spirited Away]

RIP to the 33 people that died..hopefully no more will be reported dead.

I think the number of deaths increased to 40.

[racoons > you]

well, i just watched th news, and its still saying at least 33 confirmed deaths

[Spirited Away]

Oh, I guess MSN is incorrect? I'll check CNN in a minute, but I rather the death toll be 33 than 40.

Edit>> 33 deaths on Thursday, but the number is now not determined because of the 4th blast.

[xquizit]

OH no. I have a couple friends staying over there for internships and I'm suppossed to come visit them. I hope they're alright.

[heyyfrankie]

that so crazy! good thing you and your dad are alright. why won't those darn terrorist stop. ;\

[Individualityy]

Yeah, it's still 33, but they fear it might be more. A lot of people came out of there with signs of major injury..

You guys can read the story on http://www.cnn.com

[The-Mach-Hare]

G8 summit? sorry whats that? >_<

its a meeting of all the rich countries to change the world. thats what the whole live 8 and "the one" campaign are all about...(if you know about either)

[EriaNight]

No, he's not. That's why he created this topic.

Jeebus. People these days.

Could you be anymore rude? I don't care if you're an advisor; you don't have to go around assuming you know every persons' intentions for writing a certain post. I was asking if he was okay physically and mentally, trying to be kind. How can you assume you know the answer to such a question? He said his father was alright, but he did not give a strong mention of his own safty, and I wanted to know because he is a nice person!

Sorry >< I just felt that was inappropriate and uncalled for even if you ARE an advisor. Don't hate me for saying that. That is my honest opinion!

[glit_gal]

did they confirm that it was a terrorist attack? I'm glad your dad is ok.

[Frizzank]

Man these "terrorist" must have no hearts,

Who friggin bombs london (besides the nazi's a lot of years back)?

What did London do?

I could understand America. . but London.

All they ever wanted was tea time.

Well Rest in Peace all London-ians who were killed by these heartless-terrorists.

[*Weird addiction*]

My step brother isn't picking up his phone...i am going CRAZY

[[Deep]Thought63]

Stupid Terrorist! RIP people of London's Pride.

[*not_your_average*]

It's good that you're OK. My sister woke me up with the story. I thought she was kidding, but I guess not. RIP to all who died.

[pshaa.shauna]

RIP to the people that died, and <3 to their families....It amazes me though....we have all this technology...and we use it to destroy ourselves...ironic...makes you think though.... Life is funny ain't it?

[Individualityy]

Well, according to all the news I've been watching..The Al Qaeda organization at London posted on their website that they were responsible..and the REASON they did it is because they didn't like England killing their people in Afghanistan and Iraq.

It's not confirmed though..whether Al Qaeda is behind this. People are checking the credibility as we speak, but yeah. There was a reason why.

[xaznxehgix]

so so sad :(

[alivenwell]

Woke up this morning to be greeted with the words "London Blast" on TV, those terrorist shits, acting all high and mighty, I hope they get caught soon. I feel sorry for those who died, it was a matter of seconds, unbelievable.

[Tung]

fucken damn terrorists!!!!!! >=|

[*jooleeah*]

James, you would not believe how worried I was about you. Glad your dad is okay...=]

[enyceXaddiction]

yeah i heard. wow your dad got REALLY lucky

[*krnxswat*]

I don't care if I'm an advisor or not. Don't use that against me.
Seems like you don't know me too well.

[me1issaaaa]

Aww, that was the first thing I heard when I woke up this morning. It was 8 here, but around 1 over there. James, dear, you were the first thing that crossed my mind as I watched. I'm glad you and your family are okay.

[iheartsimba]

Wow, that's so sad. It's good your dad is alright though

[[Scr3amin][Horro...]

I heard it on the radio this morning.
Poor London, poor James 2.
Hope everyone okay
Your dad is lucky lol

[*StanleyThePanda*]

yeah I heard about that
I have a really close friend who is there right now and my best friends aunt lives there.
But I think they are both ok....=D
Your dad is very lucky dear

[sharerol]

Oh my, that's scary, and I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm so glad your dad is alright. I hope all of those who died rest in peace.

[stellery]

i woke up at 12 ... well my cousin told me about that... she was all like "OMFG I HATE TERRORISTS!" so i was thinking "o_0;; did they like... bomb her house or sumfin like dat?" and then she started spazzing and telling me and then we got to the topic of invader zim and how this kid said that i remind him of invader zim

[parallel]

Yah. I saw that on the news.
Those people are just digging a deeper whole.
Why can't we just forget our stupid "code of honor" thingy or whatever it's called and send a nuclear bomb over to Iraq. Goodness.

Oh. And hope everything's okay. I would've been scared like heck.

[snak3y3z1001]

yea. i was watchin this morning. at first they said it was a power surge which got me confuse because how would a eletrical surge blow up a bus >.<

[JlIaTMK]

oh my... Ah ah ah that's horrible. I'm guessing it's probably the french... gosh this is horrible T_T;;

EDIT: Nope, just found out it was middle eastern terrorists. They also threatened italy and a few other countries to back out of Iraq, so yeah...

Uhm, what the hell are you talking about?
They didn't confirm that it's terrorists from the Middle East.... um, it's just a speculation.

Anyways, to be on that topic, I think the Iraqi gov. has all its rights to have Italy and the other countries kicked out. I don't even f**king understand why U.S. was there in the first place. Bullshit fakers.

Anyways, the first thing I thought of was you, James. Glad you're okay <3.

[crashingg]

oh goodness thats so sad =(

people are so mean these days

why cant we all just get along?

[JlIaTMK]

oh goodness thats so sad =(

people are so mean these days

why cant we all just get along?

Because, unfortunately, we're just people. :shrugs:

[*jooleeah*]

700 injured, guys.

[Musouka]

Wow.... I woke up and read it on the homepage of msn. Another sad day that only strengthens our resolve the next.

My heart goes out to anyone affected by this mornings events.

[JlIaTMK]

Notice how Bush was the first to jump in and actually start snooping.

Wonderful. The rest of the G8, even England's own prime tried to calm down the situation and Bush is ready to attack whatever.

[[Scr3amin][Horro...]

700 injured, guys.

Thats alot of people.
Hopefully they are okay

[*mipadi*]

Thats alot of people.
Hopefully they are okay

I don't think they are; they are injured, after all.

[AngryBaby]

man, thats alot 700,all those poor families
why is everyone so quick to pin the middle east already?

[lovescream]

f**k the terrorists.
they gotta stop. dammit. f**k them.

[Mr. Slowjamz]

this is gonna be a random but did you guys know that our Federal Goverment consumes most of the nuclear weapons in the whole world ? ....and guess what the largest nuclear missile we have is called "The Peacemaker" .

[*stephinika*]

^^
hah thats pathetic.
ugh, yeah my dad told me about this earlier...glad to hear you and your family are okay james. but yeah...a friend of mine was in london, and i hope he's kept on now because he was going to paris too but i don't know when... ahh!

[DrSMooTH]

your dad really dodged a bullet with this one. Thank god he''s okay though. I feel sorry for the families that are getting the bad news. It was mostly tourists on the double-deacker buses and metro.

[Musouka]

man, thats alot 700,all those poor families
why is everyone so quick to pin the middle east already?

It is not the middle-east that they are pinning it on. An Al Qaeda faction claimed responsibility.

[soulless727]

rip seems rather rude to me right now...if you want to say rest in piece then you should say rest in piece...the passed are worth more than just rip. but im glad your dad didnt get hurt =]

[racoons > you]

for the record, i believe the news said that a london based al queda cell (that is NOT spelled right, bu tyou know who i mean ) has claimed responsibilty

[laxumaster8]

yes, saw it on the news...frightening...

[PinkTrash]

I came home and I heard it from my friend from Scotland.. and I was freaked out.
My best friend's in london right now, and I was so scared something would happen to her I was worrying myself for a very long time, until she came online and pheww.

but that's horrible.. =/

[jue]

yupp; i heard it around 3 ish on MTV NEWS.

[russell2212]

yeah... my sister emailed me this morning because her husband (my brother in-law) had to go to europe for a 3 week stay with the army... but luckily... he wasnt there yet. im not sure if he already went to london or hes yet to... but he wasnt there so im happy! =)

[*mipadi*]

....and guess what the largest nuclear missile we have is called "The Peacemaker" .

George Clooney is the largest nuclear missile we have?

[clarissa]

I saw pictures and it's so depressing. Reminds me of what happened in Madrid.

[Looow]

Damn I heard about it at like 9am which was like an hour after it happened and I thought "HOLY SHIT JAMES! What what if he's like deaddd..!Mom!"

Oh my I got scared. Anyways, the whole thing is horrible. What is up this world?

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

oh yeahh james iS in london. eegah =0 !

i heard 37 died. has that been said already ?

[Looow]

^ I heard it was wAY more. I might be crazy

[*lolita kitty*]

i just saw it on the msn news homepage
like whoa *reads article*

[beambitious]

hmm it might be the french...since paris didn't get to be the place for the olympics. just watch and there is going to be a war between them..its like a cyle.

R.I.P.

[*mipadi*]

hmm it might be the french...since paris didn't get to be the place for the olympics. just watch and there is going to be a war between them..its like a cyle.

R.I.P.

Why does everyone leap on the fact that France lost the bid for the Olympics, but completely forget the fact that a)Britain is involved in the war in Iraq, and b) the G8 summit is going on in the UK right now? Given those two items, it seems completely ridiculous that some French group would orchestrate a four-pronged terrorist attack because they lost the bid for the Olympics.

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

lol yeah i saw it on my MSN page too . im not sure if it was 37, maybe they found more bodies or something cos i heard that like a few hours ago or so.

[Mulder]

Secret Organization group al Qaeda Organization in Europe took credit for it. but i doubt it was the french.

[PinkTrash]

Given those two items, it seems completely ridiculous that some French group would orchestrate a four-pronged terrorist attack because they lost the bid for the Olympics.

What he said.. I keep hearing people accusing the French which I also find ridiculous. On the news they said "more than 37", I think its just that they've found 37 dead? Just guessing. Yeah, after the first attack they shut off cellular phone networks because they thought that would be another way to set off another bomb, and they think they've prevented a few from happening that way

[EriaNight]

I don't care if I'm an advisor or not. Don't use that against me.
Seems like you don't know me too well.

Sorry, but I don't have to know you "too well" to still think it was rude. *shrugs* I'm sorry if that offends you, but your comment offended me. And how was i using the fact that you were an advisor it against you? I was just stating that it SHOULDN't matter.

Blah this is rediculous. I can't fight over the internet--people who do that make me want to cry. So i'm just going to put this away for now. I still didn't like it but honestly? I really can't care anymore.

[JlIaTMK]

Oh.... you would really cry from forum purposes?

[Fallen Fairy]

James I'm so glad you are okay!

fallen fairy

[parallel]

No matter what though.
I still think we should send over a nuclear bomb to Iraq.

[likeachild]

oh wow

very fortunate for your dad

I hope you're doing alright

[berry_lickable]

omg. shit i forgot my cousins live in london ! i better call them to check if they're safe

[yellowgurl]

AHH!! I actually heard it on the news.. omg..

[StarryEyedSurpri...]

My friend was over there a week ago... good thing shes already home.

That's horrible.. :[

[[Mediocre]Artist]

I find it amusing people are pointing fingers at the French. No offense, but come on. The French? Get real. Its got the signs of an al Qaeda attack and they're taking credit for it, but I think, at least Americans, are quick to blame al Qaeda. Thats a dangerous thing to do, considering it leaves the actual guilty party free to attack again.
