UK 9/11 Memorial for 67 victims, why not the same for 160+ Human BSE UK victims?

I'm organising a memorial service for my hamster at St Pauls. So far I have David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Ed Milliband. And Prince Harry said he would try to make it...

Is there an old age memorial? Don't mean to be facetious but who determines what deserves a memorial?

You seriously expect politicans to attend every memorial service that happens in the UK?

Mind you they might casue less chaos if they attended more memorial services and governed less. On reflection perhaps you're quite right and they should go to every memorial service there is.

Presumably the great plague one is a major one then the great flu epidemic, in descending order I guess 9/11 and the July London bombings will rank quite low.

Oh well I'm convinced - both by OP nd glasnost - they both have such a way with words, its hard to resist their eloquence.

You used to believe father xmas existed just coz your parents told you he did then you acquired a modicum of critical thought.

So you think I should believe you because er... you say so? Excellent. Critical faculties fully engaged.

Georgimama being a prime bovine.

See as oppose to watch that doc then.

You used to believe father xmas existed just coz your parents told you he did then you acquired a modicum of critical thought. Unless, of course you subsist primarily on a diet of beef in which case your brain will be spongey enought to lap anything up the powers that be tell you.

I would be more up in arms that in Rwanda, 800 000 people died in less that 100 days and nobody remembers that. Were they not mothers, fathers, sons and daughters as well?

facile
ersatz

someone's been buying word of the day toilet paper.

"Nut jobs"??? 'tis truly true you don't get the same standard of ersatz insight on MN anymore.......watch the doc or SEE a doc seeing as you've fallen for the biggest conspiracy theory ever that 19 hijackers did that to the great U S of A. Sorry to hijack OP's thread but she's not flak proof enough.

Back to the bovines then...............zzzz.

Beeaware - you see - thread has somewhat been hijaked. If you want to inform people about BSE - best just to stay on topic.

By the way - where is the memorial? I would like to keep a look out for it if ever I am in the area.

Glasnost - 9/11 was a terrorist act, or do you believe that the hole in the Pentagon was a cruise missile like those nut jobs on TV the other day? As my dh pointed out, they'd obviously never seen the entry point a cruise missile makes......

Georgimama -

There's more of you? What joy.

the loose change vid has been disproved time and time again

but saying that i think the bse thing is worth disucssing but maybe start another thread not comparing them with 9/11 and/or weird conspiracy theories.

food inc is def worth a look though

Nothing like a conspiracy theory plus a bit on insulting rhetoric to get people on board.

Sick puppets more like.............check out my other posts Georgimama. How rude of you to insinuate Beaware made me up to bolster her argument. Must be your lucky day to get reported twice. Must be disturbing to know not everyone adheres to your cut and dried, one dimensional, facile view of the universe. Find some time to watch the doc. Could be an illuminating lesson.

oppps - I seem to have stepped into a parallel universe

WTAF?

I asked you if were a fruitcake. I didn't say you were one.

Nice sock puppetry there by the way.

"Odd" is who actually still believes 9/11 was not an act of state terror. Sheesh you people sure are naive. OP's actually more on the money juxtaposing 9/11 and BSE outrages than most reactionary, kneejerk, myopic, patronising MNers would care to even know. "Bovine" (you) and "profit" (them) being the operative words.

Beaaware - I think you would get more more people to listen to you (and what is the point of free speech if you turn off your audience) if you:

• did not link your cause to the events of 9/11 - they are really not related
• stop talking about murder

Just some friendly advice. Because doing those two things just completely undermines your case and make everyone switch off and think that you are .... well .... a little bit .... odd ...

Perhaps you need to look up the legal definition of murder. Or are you fruitcake enough to think the agricultural industry and the government deliberately set out to kill them?
