Post by bspride »

Hey i live out in Big Spring and at about 8:15 A.M. Central Time the refinery that is located outside of town blew up...This is terrible...it the single biggest smoke cloud i have ever seen! Just want to say pray for those who lost there lifes and for those helping in recovery efforts...I live a couple of miles from the refinery and it shook stuff of the shelves...Please keep them in your prayers.

This is yet an other ploy by the american terrorist government to sudue the citizens by striking fear into them, soon they will claim it was an attack by Norwegian nationalist terrorists who have a vested interest in keeping the price of oil high. War against Norway will ensue, shortly after the other scandinavian countries including Finland will join against the imperialist superpower that is the US of A. Because Europeans hate Microsoft and love Linux they will support the scandinavian alliance financially as well as by sending them military equipment, while the Americans are occupied elsewhere Iran will finally declare war on Iraq and invade it, the country will be overrun in a matter of days and the Iraqi will "unanimously" vote for becoming a part of the Iranian Empire or be shot. Russia and China will be standing on the sidelines and hedging their bets while the American troops struggle with the unfamiliar terrain and hit-and-run tactics of their adversaries, in the end the conflict will be a draw, every party will declare itself to be the moral victor.


You take my word for it.

:oops:, yeah this Canadian anyway, if you can see my avatar I'm far from any trees at the moment, the only plowing I know is plowing snow and chicks, the latter is more exciting!
