It does seem kinda like they played god there doesn't it? considering how old the statue was..ya know? They are planning on doing some sort of hologram image there I guess. Still, what a big loss for everyone. Religious idol or not, it still was seriously historical in value. Makes me shake my head.
I don't want to offend anyone that doesn't agree with that opinion, but jeez.
You and I see this the same way I think.

lol New Zealand army..no no no it was the Taliban. And it was no accident. sadly.
Glue? lol. If only they hadn't been completely obliterated it into dust, then perhaps reconstruction MIGHT have been an option..but sadly..no..glue will not do the trick.
Your post made me laugh though, thanks for that. ;O)

well i dont belive in your god, so i cant really say. Generally they should just stop bombing places. I mean there is like a zillion places that has historical value. And then they bring focus to one. Bet they didnt whrite anything about them bombing the oldest house in some city. Just stop bombing, if youre gonna kill someone to it close up, its less messy too.

I am ignostic, just so you know..I don't pull any which way. As far as killing them up close, well then they wouldn't get to torture the innocent, so what fun would that be to actually go for your intended target, I mean, sheesh come on. ;O)

I think we should just stop bombing all things...people included.

I guess you can almost look at human nature and our violent behavior as a way of controlling over-population. It sounds really harsh and cruel, but it's reality. Unfortunately.
Too bad more people can't practice more self control when it comes to expressing their anger and differing opinions when it comes to differing lifestyle and religion especially.
;O) Thanks for your posts. -Caz

There would be much less guilt with a plague. We'll have to get mother nature on that.

lol. Love the way you think. Even though I feel twisted for smiling now about your clever post.
Well some would say AIDS is the new plague. The situation in Africa makes me sad to. Thinking about how so many are dying nad they don't need to be with the medicine that exists now.
That is just nuts.
Mother nature is doing her best with typhoons nad hurricanes though right? she isn't altogether silent. ;O)

I wouldn't doubt if that were true at all considering how currupt politics seems to be anymore. ;O)

Nah...AIDS would be too slow. It would have to be something that would wipe people out in like a year. See, now there are all these mediciences and stuff. I mean, it's been around as long as I have but the population in general keeps growing. it would have to be something much faster than science.
I swear...I haven't plotted taking over the world with biological weapons while working out all the kinks to find the most efficient way of destroying the world.
MWHAHAHAHAH
*ahem*
It's hypothetical...yeah.

Oh, it's okay to smile. :-)

nuclear bombs!!! Atom bombs !!! need I say more

I think the world will destroy itself really...considering our carbon footprints. Should be interesting to follow our take over of the moon when we have used up this planet.
Don't people predict 2012 as the end of days? So if you wanna plot to destroy the world you better hurry! ;O) -Caz

It was the Taliban's way of enforcing Muslim law on the Afghans. Their goal was to establish a purist Islamic regime. And they saw that one of the ways they could do this was by eliminating the influences of other religions from the country.

and with out gas what is the meaning of beans
changing the topic again
Once upon a time, there lived a man who had a terrible passion for baked beans. He loved them, but they always had an embarrassing and somewhat lively reaction on him. One day he met a girl and fell in love. When it became apparent that they would marry, he thought to himself, she'll never go through with the marriage with me carrying on like this, so he made the supreme sacrifice and gave up beans.
Shortly after that they were married. A few months later, on his birthday and on the way home from work, his car broke down.
Since they lived in the country, he called his wife and told her that he would be late because he had to walk home. On his way home, he passed a small cafe and the wonderful aroma of baked beans overwhelmed him. Since he still had several miles to walk
He figured he could walk off any ill affects before he got home.
It was, after all, his birthday. So he went in and ordered, and before leaving had 3 extra large helpings of baked beans.
All the way home he putt-putted. By the time he arrived home he felt reasonably safe. His wife met him at the door and seemed somewhat excited. She exclaimed, "Darling, I have the most wonderful surprise for you for dinner tonight!" She put a blindfold on him, and led him to his chair at the head of the table and made him promise not to peak. At this point he was beginning to feel another one coming on. Just as his wife was
about to remove the blindfold, the telephone rang. She again made him promise not to peek until she returned, and away she went to answer the phone. While she was gone, he seized the opportunity. He shifted his weight to one leg and let go. It was not only loud, but ripe as a rotten egg. He had a hard time breathing, so he felt for his napkin and fanned the air about him. He had just started to feel better, when another urge came on. He raised his leg and RRIIPPP !!! It sounded like a diesel
engine revving, and smelled worse. To keep from gagging, he tried fanning his arms a while, hoping the smell would dissipate. He got another urge. This was a real blue ribbon winner, the windows shook, the dishes on the table rattled and a minute later the flowers on the table were dead.
With his blindfold still on, when he heard the phone farewells he neatly laid his napkin on his lap and folded his hands on top of it. Smiling contentedly, he was the picture of innocence when his wife walked in. Apologizing for taking so long, she asked if he had peeked at the dinner table. After assuring her he had not peeked, she removed the blindfold and yelled, "SURPRISE!!!"
To his shock and horror, there were twelve dinner guests seated around the table for his surprise birthday party
