i don't usually do this type of public vomiting, but anyway it's new years weekend...

is it really important news that xxxxx is going to die?

i really don't care what politicals think. i really don't care what business men think. i really don't care how the neighbor thinks. sometimes i really don't care what i think.

is xxxx the only one who is going to die on the day of his hanging?
are the other folks who do die less important, influential, rich, deadly, or sarcastic as xxxx?

if we all keep spinning with the spin won't we all get dizzy?

Now turn off the TV and walk away ;-)

Funny you mention things like this. My mom sits in front of the news and complains about all the bad in the world and what a horrible place it is now. And then complains how the media twists stuff.

But, if I say something about turning it off, she just ignores me or tells me to shut up :-)

In reality, the world is no worse place than it has ever been. It's just that the public is on the verge of sensory overload.

Any websites carrying it live?

FoxNews has it live - probably online too (but I didn't check first) lol

That would require me getting away from the computer, not likely.

are we living in the dark ages. if he drowns he's not a witch, if he floats hang him !

It is important. This one action will change how many people feel about their own homeland and its government - on both sides of the ocean. I for one am shocked and horrified by most of the things xxxxxx did during his reign, but I don't understand their culture well enough to say why his own people didn't stop him.
As for the execution -- its like a train wreck, you don't wanna look, but you can't turn away.

Why so vague? Just say what's on your mind so that morons like me can understand you.

This thread is about: Saddam Hussein will be executed in Baghdad - by hanging - in 2 minutes. And God's speed to hell for him.

12/29/2006 09:58:26 PM · #15

it'll change how they feel about democracy that's for sure !

if it weren't for the earth shaking spin it wouldn't be news.

I know but I'm not understanding the "spin" stuff.

Still finding mass graves isn't bias.

Someone tell me when he is dead, so I can go google the video :-)

Quote from CNN: This execution will not be shown live, but some evidence will be presented. (That was them quoting the Iraq gov't).
