She stood for her ideals and she died for them. I wish more American journalists would have the guts to step up and face the risks. But most are more interested in monetary renumeration. Here in the US we don't hear most of the stories, because most are too cowardly to report them, or there isn't enough monetary return for them to bother. Says a lot for our culture doesn't it?
That explains alot. Maximus is a spoilt, white, teenager who's too busy being a world traveler to actually witness real life. How nice. I wish I could afford to visit Niagara Falls let alone tripse around Europe.
She got killed on Putin's Birthday. It was his present, these people are sick. And you don't think there are elite in the US who will do the same crap?
I dont think so but the Japanese heroes that blew up Pearl Harbour and later flew their planes into ships were for definite on a suicide mission
Make that 5 years. I joined Hipforums back in 2001. It was with a different server then. Skip converted to this one in 2004. As for the Average Joe part, you are merely Joe Shmoe. Your being has little relevence or impact on the world or any of us on this internet community. We could care less if you stayed or prayed. You are only worth mocking at this point for you contribute fodder for little else.
Heroes? I consider them murderers in my book. 1100 men, women, and children maliciously attacked by a brutal military regime hellbent on world domination. Yeah, they deserve places in Heaven right along with George W. Bush(when he finally kicks the bucket), Hitler, Stalin, and Milosevich.
Just a reminder: the thread topic is Anna Politkovskaya, a murdered journalist. This past week another journalist (connected to indymedia) was shot and killed in oaxaca, mexico by government hired plain-clothed paramilitaries during a recent conflict. His name was William Bradley Roland aka Brad Will. http://indymedia.us/en/2006/10/20408.shtml
I know very well I'm just one out of 6 billion people on this planet yet to have any true impact. If mocking me gives you the minuscule satisfaction in your desolate life then enjoy.
I don't think Brad Will was killed with any foul play amiss...he just died in the middle of a firefight, it's so horrible, from what I have heard he was a great guy.
Oh looky! The neonazis have found each other. How cute. When will the wedding be? Have you picked out your china patterns yet? What color are your bridesmaid dresses? I can refer you to an excellent cake-baker.
Is this an attempt at insulting me? Bravo, although I do believe a homosexual would have done a much better job.
