    Well, the Weather Channel is certainly hyping it up, calling it an, "extraordinary threat," "dire threat to the U.S." and crap like that. They're out of control.

    "Major Hurricane Irene poses an extraordinary threat and is one that no one has yet experienced from North Carolina to the mid-Atlantic to the Northeast to New England." <--- Bullshit. 1938. Gloria. Bob. Isabel.

    Hurricanes that skirt the coast like Irene will are bad, but if you listen to the Weather Channel it is like they're seeing this as another Andrew, Wilma, or Katrina.

    They need to get ratings up and there is more gossip than facts in the news bizz. Also it gets people to go out and spend by causing panic. But it is good to be prepared though.

    I have asked quite a few meteorologists in person if is it going to rain to today you will never get a definite answer.

    I forgive most of the bs on Weather Channel because they brought in a lot of hot weather girls to tell us these dire warnings.


    “For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”

    53 people died today when a Casino on my town was attacked by the 'Narco'

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/...jeJ_story.html

    This is getting ridiculous... each and every passing day things are getting uglier here in Mexico... specially in my town. Fuck... I pass every damn day in front of the attacked Casino... today I passed besides it at 2pm... and just 1 hour and a half later this happened... the link from washingtonpost says 40 dead... but our governor confirmed 30 minutes ago the death toll rose to 53

    Your government should really just go Vlad the Impaler on the drug cartels and send them a message.

    The Mexican police is corrupt. The drug cartels were smart enough to implant spies into the police force and it is difficult to control the transaction of weapons in Mexico because there are just so many back-door dealings with other nations that manufacture firearms. The Mexican government isn't exactly a rich country either and the demand for drugs in the US is constant if not increasing (due to the current economic state).

    From what I have heard, they go after your family as well.

    If I had anything to say about it would be to assemble a death squad; high trained, highly experience soldiers/mercenaries who's sole mission is the eradication of the cartels. Put the fear back in the cartels. It is a unjust, being a violation of human right and all but it would save a lot of innocent lives.

    But the drug trade is far to lucrative for their not to be the amount of corruption that exists. The Cartels have the power and the people who govern Mexico are either corrupt or fearful of the Cartels so violence run rampant. The weak prey on the weak, the strong prey on the weak. It definitely sucks.

    These are just my opinions I can be wrong. I don't live there and from what I have heard from the people that did or do is that Mexico is a nice place except for the violence and corruption.

    Two and a half minutes. Thats how long the fuckers were on the building. They arrived... entered... splashed everything with gasoline and then started the fire.

    http://monterrey.milenio.com/cdb/doc...4e4a52257472bb

    Narration is in spanish... but you can clearly see what happened.

    Official death toll stands at 52... there was a pregnant woman between the victims so the news say 53

    I think he means "uncanny", not "funny" in a literal sense.

    Yeah I think he was being sympathetic, but you blew it Ryouga.

    So basically, people labeled as "forum douchebag" should get lauded for being douchebags even when it comes to talking about the murder of the people of another member's community?

    So Irene wasn't the terror that she was forecast to be but now I am one of the 5 million people without power.Thinking about breaking out my tent and air bed and camp out on the lawn. For those of you that weren't so luck I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery back to normality.

    http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/08/29/ire...html?hpt=hp_t1

    p.s. Arch's on the not so humane end of the totem pole and just likes attention. Don't give it to him or his followers. That's what I think.

    RZ I am somewhat happy to hear that the military is getting involve to help with the eradication of the Cartels in the cities. Finally they are give it the attention it needs. Hope it gets better there man. Keep safe, sucks that your company banned this site, fore we will have to wait until you're home to know if you're okay.
