Too far, asshole.

The Franchise Tax Board just sent me a collection notice for my 2004 taxes.
I returned a letter to them explaining that I had to shut-down my accounts
payable department until further notice. I wonder how they'll receive that?

The dead deserved their fate? The politico/religious/economic backdrop that precipitates atrocites such as 9/11, even if not totally unsurprising, still doesn't render unwitting victims culpable.

The dead never deserve it....
Quote:Iran Air Flight 655 was an Iran Air flight from Tehran, Iran, to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, via Bandar Abbas, Iran. On 3 July 1988, at the end of the Iran–Iraq War, the aircraft serving the flight, an Airbus A300B2-203, was shot down by SM-2MR surface-to-air missiles fired by the United States Navy guided missile cruiser USS Vincennes as it flew over the Strait of Hormuz. The aircraft, which had been flying in Iranian airspace over Iran's territorial waters in the Persian Gulf on its usual flight path, was destroyed. All 290 on board, including 66 children and 16 crew, perished.

They just get in the way at times and it really sucks.

Sure. But to say 'deserving' is beyond the pale.

You cannot continually attack people and kill civilians without putting the idea in someone's head about striking back. And, it wasn't just us doing it. We also got blamed for our Israeli puppets' actions.
There were a whole series of pre 9-11 indications of this:
Khobar Towers, Beirut, The USS Cole, the Embassy Bombings, etc. In our arrogance we assumed that they could never attack us here.
We were wrong. So "deserved" may be the wrong word but it was certainly predictable.

You are one sick SOB. I just lost any respect for you.
This below was printed in the London Daily Mirror and written by the Brit Tony Parsons. It might as well have been written directly to you.
Quote:ONE year ago, the world witnessed a unique kind of broadcasting - the mass murder of thousands, live on television. As a lesson in the pitiless cruelty of the human race, September 11 was up there with Pol Pot's mountain of skulls in Cambodia, or the skeletal bodies stacked like garbage in the Nazi concentration camps. An unspeakable act so cruel, so calculated and so utterly merciless that surely the world could agree on one thing - nobody deserves this fate.
Surely there could be consensus: the victims were truly innocent, the perpetrators truly evil. But to the world's eternal shame, 9/11 is increasingly seen as America's comeuppance. Incredibly, anti-Americanism has increased over the last year.
...
What touched the heart about those who died in the twin towers and on the planes was that we recognised them. Young fathers and mothers, somebody's son and somebody's daughter, husbands and wives. And children. Some unborn.
And these people brought it on themselves? And their nation is to blame for their meticulously planned slaughter?
...
The truth is that America has behaved with enormous restraint since September 11.Remember, remember.
Remember the gut-wrenching tapes of weeping men phoning their wives to say, "I love you," before they were burned alive. Remember those people leaping to their deaths from the top of burning skyscrapers. Remember the hundreds of firemen buried alive. Remember the smiling face of that beautiful little girl who was on one of the planes with her mum. Remember, remember - and realise that America has never retaliated for 9/11 in
anything like the way it could have.
So a few al-Qaeda tourists got locked without a trial in Camp X-ray? Pass the Kleenex. So some Afghan wedding receptions were shot up after they merrily fired their semi-automatics in a sky full of American planes? A shame, but maybe next time they should stick to confetti.
AMERICA could have turned a large chunk of the world into a parking lot.
That it didn't is a sign of strength. American voices are already being raised against attacking Iraq - that's what a democracy is for. How many in the Islamic world will have a minute's silence for the slaughtered innocents of 9/11? How many Islamic leaders will have the guts to say that the mass murder of 9/11 was an abomination?
When the news of 9/11 broke on the West Bank, those freedom-loving Palestinians were dancing in the street. America watched all of that - and didn't push the button. We should thank the stars that America is the most powerful nation in the world. I still find it incredible that 9/11 did not provoke all-out war. Not a "war on terrorism". A real war.
The fundamentalist dudes are talking about "opening the gates of hell", if America attacks Iraq. Well, America could have opened the gates of hell like you wouldn't believe. The US is the most militarily powerful nation that ever strode the face of the earth. The campaign in Afghanistan may have been less than perfect and the planned war on Iraq may be misconceived.
But don't blame America for not bringing peace and light to these wretched countries. How many democracies are there in the Middle East, or in the Muslim world? You can count them on the fingers of one hand - assuming you haven't had any chopped off for minor shoplifting.
...
Or do you really think the USA is the root of all evil? Tell it to the loved ones of the men and women who leaped to their death from the burning towers. Tell it to the nursing mothers whose husbands died on one of the hijacked planes, or were ripped apart in a collapsing skyscraper. And tell it to the hundreds of young widows whose husbands worked for the New York Fire Department. To our shame, George Bush gets a worse press than Saddam
Hussein.
Once we were told that Saddam gassed the Kurds, tortured his own people and set up rape-camps in Kuwait. Now we are told he likes Quality Street. Save me the orange centre, oh mighty one!
Remember, remember, September 11. One of the greatest atrocities in human history was committed against America.
No, do more than remember. Never forget.

I prefer the term "Teahadists" myself.

Ok, "Ranz" traslates to "rancid stuff".
Basicaly it is when at the end of a long party that lasted over a long amount of time no alcohol is left, every glass, can and bottle is collected and the leftover at the bottom is poured into one big bottle or canister.
This drink is known to sometimes cause herpes and to sometimes contain drain cleaner.
But it will make you drunk.
Usualy this is consumed by 15 to sometimes 17 year olds who in most cases regret it. I certainly did.
This reminds me of a junkie I used to know that was addicted to oxycontin. Often times he would shoot up other drugs with his oxy, and he would save the cotton balls afterwards(for those of you not in the know, after melting the drugs into a liquid, a person drops a cotton ball in to absorb the liquid and then fills the needle from the cotton ball). When he was unable to get any drugs and needed a fix, he would take all of his saved up cotton balls that were encrusted with various drug residues, melt them down, and shoot up the newly created concoction.

It's sad what people do when addicted.
