A truely sad day for all Dutch
Today movie maker, columnist and chain-smoker Theo van Gogh was murdered He was known and feared for his strong critizism and his blunt and harsh statements that he spewed when ever he got the chance. Often shocking his "opponenents" Van Gogh had a very stong opinion about the way muslims-funtamentalists suppress women and how they condem gays. In an ultimate attempt to shut him up, he was brutally excecuted in Amsterdam this morning. He was shot 6 times and then a letter was pinned to his dead body with 2 knives The killer was captured after a shoot-out with the police. He is an immigrant from Marocco and aparently a muslim-extremist. Van Gogh paid the ultimate price for what he believed in the most: the freedom of speech |

QUOTE(mikez @ Nov 4 2004, 12:30 PM) Civil war in Iraq....well....say what ya want about Saddam...he did control the rival factions....now that his corrupt, brutal, iron fisted control is gone...they are free to fight among themselves and the controlling entity...which now is the US. Hey, even Hitler got the trains to run on time and turned a bankrupt country around....not that his way of doing it was the right way....but German citizens voted HIM in....loved him until he was exposed for the monster he was... Mike, we were once a fledgling democracy. We were brothers in arms, even if we were shooting at each other. If it were about oil, we'd have invaded Saudi, 30 years ago. This is a fight between humanity, and inhumanity. The kindest thing we can do for the future of mankind, is label it, kill it, and roll the dead body out for all the disbelievers to inspect. It's a brutal world, but not really here.... in civilization. I've never seen that analogy of Hitler used in such a positive light... to me, it's a rhetorical. It looks like a point, on your card... yikes! M |
