Folks this url: http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Senate/2897/

leads to a serbian hacker website which has a page of photos from the ongoing war over there. If anyone out there is secretly hoping for a 9 or 10, I suggest you take a look at those photos...but not while you're eating - trust me on this.

with a tip of the hat to COL Hackworth for including the site in his newsletter.

Couldn't locate it. Is it still around at a different address?

Hey Arlin,

Did you bother to look at the guest book?

How can you willingly advertise such evil and malice on the internet?

You should be ashamed of yourself

-- (Lancelot @ tavern link.com), March 04, 1999.

Sir Lancelot, you haven't seen evil on the internet yet. The guessbook simply shows the hate between Serbs and Albanians.

Arlin, it's hard to believe humans can be so monstruous with each other, but it's worth pointing it out. I have no doubt that a large US city could turn into a Kosovo were Y2K be an 8-10 in that city.

Thanks Arlin, that was abso-f@#kin'-lootly horrible; I couldn't go past the thumbnails.

And your point is very well made.

Arlin - This is precisely the anxiety that preoccupies my mind mostly in regard to Y2K. Maybe it shoudn't, but there is plainly so much barbarism going on in most parts of the world. We have been blessed to escape it for so many years. Just look at the recent murders of American, British and New Zealand tourists by the Rwandan rebels who stated their reason for killing them was because of hatred for America's support of their enemies. What types of hatred will Y2K evoke? Martin Niemoller, the German theologian said: "When Hitler attacked the Jews, I was not a Jew, therefore, I was not concerned. And when Hitler attacked the Catholics, I was not a Catholic and therefore I was not concerned. Then, Hitler attacked me and the Protestant church and there was nobody left to be concerned." My thoughts are interrupted with this type of worry in regards to Y2K and who might take advantage of our vulnerability. If the Guard and others go AWOL, who will rescue us? Sorry, but those who have no faith in God, have no hope. Mary

Mary,

There are many within these shores who will do everything possible to protect your rights to believe or not believe as you choose.

Lacking belief in God, I would suggest to you to look to The Constitution of the United States of America. There is much there to believe in. Many do.

"All that site does is use visuals to make the same point that TTF/Not Again has been trying to make with words."--Arlin

And as TTF/Not Again has been, you're being stoned for piercing the protecting shield from reality people like Lancelot have. It's too painful to imagine or see, therefore it must be supressed and never shown or talked about.

Debbie, young children must be protected from this horror if they are not involved in war themselves. A 10 year old or younger could not process this intellectualy and would have nightmares and could develope dysfunctional anxiety. It is important to teach children life lessons, but in small doses and what they can handle as they mature.

When you say "There is nothing wrong with sex." it all depends on who's definition of sex you are talking about. There is loving sex among concenting adults, all the way to pornography demeaning to women ,to pornography involving animals, pedophilia and rape of children on the internet.

*whew*

Hi Debbie - no doubt about the fact that the term "mature" is often used to warn of sexually suggestive material...and aren't you waxing philosophical this afternoon?

On the other hand, I would decidedly NOT expose any child for whom I was responsible to that serbian website any more than I would expose a young child to pornography, thus the warning.

Nevermind Debbie, I read over your post and I see we're making the same point. I'm experiencing a data-overload induced brain-fart ;-)

-- Chris (catsy@pond.com), March 04, 1999.

Arlin, Chris, I just read over my post and it's a wonder that anyone understood it! Stream of consciousness mutterings. I'm getting triggered by this, that, and every other thing cuz I'm a little reality-challenged since following events with the Senate report all week! Eek! It's crazy time! Data overload, I can relate to that one.

Ever wish you could delete something you posted?

When that button you have to hit,

Just say no and don't Submit!

What I was saying isn't all that important. Yes I was waxing philosophical. *sigh* I guess at the bottom of it all is I am identifying with what kids go through in trying to sort out what is real, since that is a big task of childhood, growing up and figuring out for yourself what's real.
