The Only Two Good Reasons to Hate Al-Qaeda

Up until very recently, I could honestly say I’ve had a fair degree of sympathy with Al-Qaeda (Oh come on, they have had rather a bad press!). Throughout History, whether British, French, Spanish, Italian, Germanic, American, whoever, whatever, society has evolved with the use of force, sometimes terrifying in the pursuit of its cause. (The Phrase, ‘One Man Terrorist is another Mans Freedom Fighter’, the use of Nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki could also of been described as 'Terrifying' for their inhabitants, etc.etc.).

I could kind of understand the motivation behind their bombings, suicide attacks and flying the odd aeroplane into buildings. The actions are designed to make a statement against the West’s fiscally greedy orientated societies, to ‘Terrify’ us, and a very compelling argument could easily be formulated in the defence of their actions. The US and British support of Israel over the past 50 years that has directly resulted in the death and persecutions of hundreds of thousands of palistiniens would seem a good starting point for just a little dissatisfaction with Western Foreign Policy.

But any sympathy I might of had with their cause has now been lost… I am now officially pissed off with Osama and his Gang, Period… B’stards!

Why…?

Well, the first reason is they stole my new Zippo! OK, so they didn’t actually steal it, the grumpy gestapo at Gatwick Airport security took it from me when I attempted to check in last week for my flight to Spain. But never the less, it was only twenty-four hours old, and taken from me, apparently, as directed by the increased security measures at all UK airports because of the perceived risk from terrorists.

Though, strangely, as I am sure Richard Reid could confirm, normal Gas filled cigarette lighters are allowed to be taken on aeroplanes! And even stranger still is that in none of Gatwick Airports Security Propaganda does it mention their total discrimination against Zippo lighters. Is Osama winning his anti-American capitalist fight? It appears so, as rival European/Chinese manufacturers, 'Dunhill' for example, with their gas filled lighters appear to be coincidental winners in 'The War On Terror'!

Well, that’s reason number one for my anger, the confiscation of my new Zippo. OK, so it might seem a little weak, and agreed not really a very convincing argument to base ones hatred upon, but there is another reason, a bigger one.

The true reason I’m now completely livid, the reason January 2008 is now going to be completely crap for me is because of recent linked Al-Qaeda terrorist attacks in Africa, the ASO have cancelled this years Dakar Rally! Detail here… WTF!!! Tossers!!!! Not a happy bunny here I can tell you... This is what I'm missing...!

Needs sound...


Osama, you suck, not even Tony Blair would of stooped this low to make everyone's life so miserable!

Well I can't claim to of known them, but I'm sure any of the 655,000 Iraq civilians that have died since the Allied occupation in 2003 would see it as a fair trade also.

Big Numbers hey, but then again there only Rag Heads right..?

You didn't see any smartass comments from me about deaths in Iraq or elswhere. Apparently, that's your domain.

Ride your scooter, and stay out of the underground . . .

As Requested...

Hitler is at the edge of the burial hole in Auschwitz. Next to him is a string of prisoners.

"You!" says Hitler to the Gypse next to him "lift your left foot like this and twist your left arm like this. Now jump!" The Jew jumps, while Hitler follows very carefully the fall.

"Now you!" says Hitler to a Polish "twist your right foot like this and lift both hands up like this. Now jump!" The Polish jumps, while Hitler again follows very carefully the fall.

"And you!" says Hitler to a Russian "bend over and lean to the front like this. Now jump!" The Russian jumps, and Hitler again is paying very much attention to the fall.

All of a sudden, a German soldier comes running to Hitler: "Heil Hitler!"

"Heil! What happened?"

"Mr. Goering kindly asked for your attendance to the Chief of Staff meeting as soon as you finish your game of Tetris."


Propably not worth Standing by for :O)
