NH: Boston Bombing - Rat smell?

Terrorism is creating terror for a political or religious aim. Despite Tamerlan only working alone, in his mind it was still a political statement, therefore, as Isaac said, technically "terrorism".

He was getting quite fundie, especially when you check out his youtube account.

Agree, Bressington is an idiot, but people are lapping her up on the net...insanity.

Oh crap, not on here too?! The nutters are everywhere!

Saw some whackjobs (about 7 of them, LOL) protesting "chemtrails" on the steps of parliament house the other day. Found it ironic they were worried about water crystals 40,000 feet in the air, while standing 10 feet away from buses and cars spewing exhaust on North Tce. F**king morons!

Isaac, that's the problem with conspiracy theories. Funding and co-ordination. Governments are not good at that sought of stuff, so that's why people always say "breakaway groups" etc

The CIA have a long history of political interference in other countries which is well documented.

The USA have a long list of "conspiracies"

* JFK Assassination
* Moon landing
* 9/11
* Pearl Harbor
* Gulf of Tonkin
* Bay of Pigs
* Sinking of the Lusitania
* Roswell "weather balloons"
* Alien abductions
* Waco, TX
* Project Pegasus
* MK-Ultra
* Project Stargate

I think a good defence lawyer could get the younger brother off.

Occam's razor usually applies to most situations. I guess it's the times we live in that there is always going to be over analysis of situations and conclusions jumped to. Things just seem too simple and convenient, particularly on "Patriot's Day" and when controversial legislation is passed.

Isaac, Yes, whenever something like this happens there is always a lot of information and dis-information. The naked suspect photo looks dodgy. If he was arrested wearing clothes, why would they strip him completely? Wouldn't they put him in a jumpsuit or something like that?

I don't think we have the full story yet.

Bath salts don't do it anymore....

With the recent country champs just completed its an opportune time to consider why many of the talented players from the bush end up at certain clubs.
Many of the country regions are linked to district clubs with Forestville having most of the south stitched up as well as Whyalla and York Pen through their country/district coaches and the Kadina connection.
Sturt are well placed east and have coaches/teachers in boarding schools in the metro area to snare new talent and affiliations with specific country areas.
Norwood has Port Augusta sewn up and is into Pt. Pirie and so on.
Which leads into why country areas are not zoned to evenly distribute talented country players across the district clubs.
At present it would be almost impossible to recruit country kids if you were from a club other than the top 4 or 5 clubs because of the official/unofficial relationships that these clubs have in place.
This is not a criticism of clubs building strong relationships with country areas or a district/country coach issue but more a highlighting of how a bits and pieces approach has led to country kids being monopolised.
Zoning country areas would even the playing field and allow each club to work within that area effectively for the wider benefit of the district competition.
Opponents of zoning continually open the lazy club syndrome as a defence of established relationships but I feel for our comp to grow it needs some formal structures to be implemented
