Can you post a link to a quote of him saying that

Quite the opposite, I'm trying to promote the opposite of terror, which could be serenity. Ignore the threats, just get on with your life with nothing to fear.

Tonight, last night and every night this week, Blitzhoney playing live froma flat in Glasgow Dandy -

There's a word missing from your second paragraph, and I think it could be vital to my clever response. However for your last paragraph, maybe she is thankful she lives in America, however this no longer concerns her, we're concerned with the police's response. Are you suggesting that the police should be congratulated for chosing to fire rubber bullets at a crowd of peaceful protestors because they chose not send tanks in, they chose not to stone the protestors, and further more, they chose not to draw swords and wade in and slaughter the lot of them. Then you've misjudged the point of this thread. We're silently grateful that it could have been a lot worse, but it wasn't. The controversy here is because the police could have handled it a lot better but didn't. If this is as good as 'the land of the free' can offer, its not very good.

But don't you understand that some people think that the evidence SIMPLY points the other way, that given a different perspective (and using find/replace)... The two perspectives are just as valid and both lead to as much bloodshed. Neither side has the moral high ground

This week on Last Night From Glasgow we have the legendary Blitzhoney Every night this week they'll be playing their stuff live from a flat in Glasgow Tonight "Don't Bring Me Roses"

I reckon then that Iran and Syria have exactly the same right to arm its allie and protect them, but I think its a stupid right to have

Aye it'll definitely be extremists who start WWIII, from one side or the other

Can we try not to have a third world war?

I'm going to print out the audience call out script http://snakeplay.pbwiki.com/script distribute copies to my friends and go on masse to see it and have a jolly good time. It has become the Rocky Horror Show

...and possibly all the passengers on the plane

Did you two just agree on something?

That's a pretty broad offence

Yes, actually. Not really, I just like leaving little notes

In this case though they did have a lot of manpower, a huge line of armed officers and big tents to have meetings in afterwards. I think we agree that they should have arrested her, thats what they ought to have done to uphold the law and to do their jobs. So by not arresting the female protester, and shooting her with rubber bullets, I gather you still support them (throughout this thread) as so are supporting them for doing their job badly. If the police did their job properly I think we'd all support them more

When I was at school, about fifteen years ago now, a floppy disc was passed round containing the Jolly Roger's CookBook. It was an anarchist cook book, loads of .txt files on making bombs, explosives, mantraps, analogue phone hacking equipment, all kinds of cool stuff that us as school kids thought was brilliant. Adrian Haslem printed out a copy which eventually got into the hands of the headmaster and there was a lot of trouble about it. But hey ho, just about everybody in our year at school had a copy of the original floppy disc. Thermit is one of my favourite really dangerous things you can make at home. Its simply iron oxide and aluminium mixed togetehr, I used rust scraped from railings and some schredded drinks cans. To set thermite alight, you need something that burns really really hot, such as magnesium (nicked from chemistry labs at school or your mate's dad). Thermite is used in welding, it burns continuously at above 500degrees. And a heap of quality thermite the size of a fifty pence piece will burn straight through the engine of a car. It also works quite well on the coin boxes of public telephones.

Ah, this is where our opinions differ, I reckon peace is always possible. Its not easy, it takes hard work, diplomacy, patience, a bit of tolerance, but its always possible.

Shouldn't they have arrested the woman if she was breaking the law, rather than just shooting her? I do understand that criminals ought to be punished and in some states there's a death penalty, but that usually come after people have been arrested for breaking the law, and then tried in a court of law, then sentenced. Ever read that comic Judge Dread?

yeah, isn't the right to protest enshrined in the US constitution? So the protesters weren't breaking the law, they were upholding their rights. The police on the other hand were neither serving nor protecting

Only cos America don't sponsor terrorism as much as they used to. At least you knew where were with US sponsored terrorism

Oh, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4799057.stm what do I win?

It means that now all the 'terrorists' need to do is get old ladies to carry their bombs for them.
