    Your cousin and all thoses who ran for cover, ducked etc. should have been brought out in front of that baseball game, and publically executed, either by a fireing squd or hung, their choice, for being brainwashed by american "living in fear" propoganda. They really would believe anything that the media tells them.
    Worst post... ever

    Yeah sorry.It actually pisses me off too but i was writing quickly and figured everyone would be familiar with it.

    Its a good example of how the media fell over themselves to relate those attacks with the attacks of 9/11 in order to increase the fear and the strength of their story even though there was very little comparison.

    IT was to celebrate the fact he was at a baseball game. He loves his baseball, our george. HE celebrates everything with low flying aircraft. His birthday, he celebrats saturdays, christmas, easter, holloween.. Hell, even when he takes a crap, he just loves to celebrate it with low flying aircraft. Is there anything better than a low flying aircraft going "NNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMM" over you under your command, to make you feel like the most powerful man on the planet?

    So we got a phone call last night from my cousin who lives in Boston and this was her news:

    Apparently George Bush attended a baseball game in Boston the other day and to celebrate his day out he sent a number of low flying jets in over the city. However,he neglected to inform the citizens that this would be happening.

    My cousin and her friends were sitting in their apartment when the building started to shake. They looked out the window only to see a plane heading for them. They all started screaming "Attack! Attack!" and went to hide under their beds.

    About 10 minutes after the last jet has flown over,they get up and look out the window again and see everyone on the street lying down,hiding under cars and crying etc.

    So well done Georgey! :rolleyes:

    What a crock of s**T, I cannot find a single word about Bush being at a baseball game in Boston or any sort of fly by in the past 6 months.

    Can you supply a link to a news story about this , if not you or your cousin are making it all up

    I love all of the replies that say the citizens were over reacting.

    Why, they over reacted so much anyone would think that they might have cared for their own lives :rolleyes:

    Grow up people and stop fucking thinking other people should react as you decide (note - not the way you actually would) just because you're sitting safe at home in your own bedrooms with mommy and daddy downstairs!

    I doubt most of you have ever really been in danger of harm in your lives except for maybe "Ooooh ooooh I got a splinter" or maybe broken a few bones.

    I'd love to see you all signed up to go to war (any war, I don't care, just get the fuck out of my sight!!) and shitting yourselves on the front line as shells go off all around you!!

    Next time you nearly get run over by a car, remember that you have to identify what type of car it is before it hits you, because if it's a volvo it's designed for safety and you should be OK if it hits :rolleyes:.

    Fucking retards...

    personally, i think if george bush was at a baseball game, and he had a fly-by, then it was a silly thing to do, considering all that has happened.

    however, there is always two sides to every story. it could have beenmeant as a show of stability and power in an effort to show the public that their country is being protected.
    who knows?

    as for the silly yank bashing, give it a rest. bashing a country because of its way of life, and its people based on some stereotypical view built up by tv sit coms isnt too bright.

    but of course, all irish keep a leprechcaun handy, are all red haired, are drunks, and all work on building sites, have no electricity, all own a donkey a cart, and are pig ignorant.

    have a think before you go condeming people for their reactions when you dont even know the story.

    Come off it. People hiding under their cars and crying because of some low flying fighter planes (which were probably brought in to say 'look, fighter planes, your safe') is, quite frankly, one of the most pathetic things i've ever heard. When I hear a jet over me I dont say 'AHHHH the terrorists are attacking' I look up and see what it is, sure if it was a huge jumbo jet coming at me at 500 miles an hour 200ft off the ground, i'd probably **** a brick, but i'd have the sense to apply occams razor (The simplest explanation is the best or When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras)

    I think the bigger question here is _why_ they thought immediatly of a terrorist attack. I'm sure it would have nothing to do with the media spewing tripe like 'piracy help terrorist' etc :rolleyes:

    Exactly. Just like in 2003, during the N.American blackout everyone was running around screaming "Terrorists, Terrorists!" ..

    Cop on and light a candle.

    I'd say you're reaction would change, if we suffered a terrorist attack on the scale of 911.

    so what you are saying is that everyone should have the same reactions as you to everything?

    sounds to me that being righteously arrogant is one of your better qualities....?

    When people panic there's no rational thought involved.
