I'd be happy if I were the only human left alive. My best friend Randy was saying the same thing last night actually. Humanity is doomed anyways! No thanks to so-called 'progress' it doesn't look like we're gonna avoid our own destruction. If it's not violence I'm sure it will be Mad Cow Disease!

Hardly ever read much about it. Don't even read most of the news anymore. It's so sensationalist it makes me angry...

I was about 12 when I remember hearing about the Jim Jones mass suicide. I thought WTF?

Neither am I. If the past two or three generations couldn't alter mankind's self-destructive streak, what hope is there for the next one? I've already made up my mind that I'm definitely never having kids for that reason.

Such a fuck up.
I have no idea what the hostage takers hoped to achieve through an act of such clear destructive potential, in all senses. But they achieved nothing.
I have no idea why anyone in the security agencies thought this situation could be handled by force. It's unlikely we'll ever know, but I'm sure that a large number of the dead will have been killed by those there to rescue/save them.
No winners. Just losers. It's been horrible.
Afghanistan, Iraq, The Sudan, Chechnya. And they're just the big ones that make the press.
I'm not even 1% religious and have been certain for years that human beings can & do guide themselves. I'm no more religious after last week, but I'm not so certain either.

Difficult to come to terms with it, the senselessness of it all, though if your country had had thousands of her women and children butchered without much international recognition of your plight, you might have a few hardliners who go crazy and depart from human behaviour into the realm of beasts.
Tragic postscript - Dubya will get more support now. He will be supported by the masses who see the Islamic threat as being ALWAYS around us as He always said it was. How ironic that this episode helps one of the most evil regimes in a year at a time when its' popularity fell and their rule loked shaky.
The answer to all this is too monstrous to behold in all probability
But is this enough to stop us havng children? No - we should focus on creating enlightened generations and making them more clued up about the world than we were. I don't think we should stop pro-creating n- that would deaden our world. As Cope mentioned - "Better to light a candle, than to curse the darkness."
