It must be written somewhere that Rugby League must be tougher, badder and generally worse than all other sports.
It's a working class sport, as opposed to "Proper Rugby" as played by the best public schools in England. That is why it has a salary cap, we don't want the blighters getting above their station, what what?

Or are you referring to this?

'The Dream is Over' ring any bells?
Paula Bennet?

Even though taking the piss out of te Muslims seems to be de-rigour I think we are overlooking the real culprits here...
Senior staffers at the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Take your pusillanimous piece and stick it up your arse.
There, I fixed it for you.
As for haters, have you looked in the mirror lately.
Calm down, if you go looking for hate you will find it. -
[Offensive comment deleted -- RB]
[for purposes of clarity, the crack was a reference to speaking to "the Wellington branch of Mossad" in a reply to Stephen. Hardly the worst thing you've ever read, but in the circumstances, unfunny and unhelpful. - RB]
I just struggle to think of sides,
There are many but the ones that suffer the most are the poor and the innocent. And certainly not the Saudis who you seem the put as No. 1 suspect
It wasn't the people of Iraq or Afghanistan. It was a group of conspirators operating mostly out of Saudi Arabia, and they certainly weren't poor either.
A Saudi connection in wanting a war against Iraq wouldn't seem unlikely after the Kuwait invasion, however, I would not think destroying the Twin Towers and thousands of lives would have led to that but it did. It just seems that you, Gio, accept the official story because "it was in the papers and Wikipedia proves it" and that is just so not your usual stance, have you got something to hide? ;-)
Stephen,
Oh yeah, your mates are mates with Holocaust deniers. I'm going to assume that you're just gullible. Have you checked out the rest of the site? Do you find it all equally credible? If not, why is this one bit you linked to credible? If yes, then... fuck you.
Conditional insults are so much nicer than blind ones, don't you think? Also, you may note, that I linked to the same site that Russell did are you lumping him in with that ?. By your logic if there is an inconsistency in an article then the whole thing is rubbish, we have to sort the wheat from the chaff, as it were, we have to be selective, we have to use our own judgement, otherwise we are but sheep.
And please, try not to be so defensive. It doesn't become you.
Peace. -
It was a group of conspirators operating mostly out of Saudi Arabia, and they certainly weren't poor either. There is multiple and convergent evidence of their involvement, virtually none for any other explanation,
Here is some of that virtually none for any other explanation,
What Did Israel Know in Advance of the 9/11 Attacks? and this The Five Dancing Israelis Arrested On 9-11
Now show me yours. -
Stephen,
There is so much said about who is to blame, the truth is hidden, it certainly isn't the people of Afghanistan or Iraq. These people have suffered enough for hundreds of years yet gain no sympathy. However, when somebody points the finger in a more likely direction they are always shot down in flames and accused of being a nutty conspiracy theorist, or worse. When truth fails, follow the money.
I don't know what to believe, it just saddens and angers me that it is always the poor that suffer.
Rich, absolutely. The current situation ain't making it any easier for them either. -
When he finally managed to get close enough to meet a few of them (towards the end of the conflict his CIA contacts allowed him to travel there), he was rather taken aback by their lifestyle and beliefs, which were ferocious and savage well beyond his comprehension.
Well, when I got close enough to meet a few of them, back in 1972, they were fine, if a little wild and very few of them carried guns. The Bedouin still ran camel trains through there. These days The Bedouin look like This and the camel trains are history.

So why did you choose to link to that one in particular? Honest question.
It has its origins in one of the first reports on the incident (the "Dancing Israelis" story") and as far as I can tell it is current, 14 April 2010, it is also the least inflammatory report of the current story. Even 911 Myths doesn't totally debunk it.
The New York Times article seems not to be on-line and I apologise for referencing a Fox News article but at that point in time even Fox was trying to be accurate. The Bin Laden denial in that article is interesting too as is the Colin Powell take on Bin Laden's involvement.
