2 Posts A Week!

Quote of the moment: Avg Posts Per Week - 2

Hurrah! I was planning to complain about the maths behind this average, because I was pretty sure I was above 1.5 mean posts per week...

Ok - first post, 19th March, it's now the 7th of September. So thats 5 months plus 19 days... so about 25 weeks... Hmmm... I guess they round down then! You have to have a mean of 2 posts per week, not 1.5 :( Nm... I'm happy! :D

In other news: Israel hits Hamas training camp...

Sounds super to me! Instead of a helicopter strike on a car in a busy street, they hit a group of Hamas recruits being trained on a football pitch... Killing 14 and injuring about 30... But crucially, there were no civilian casualties. The Palestinians bomb buses and other "soft" targets, but always cry murder when the Israeli targeted strikes kill bystanders accidentally. But of course, they turned out to march and protest anyway. Same old constant revenge strikes... But while I don't approve of the Israeli occupation of Palestinian areas (which are, very slowly, being withdrawn), their methods are undeniably far less distasteful...

are u sure they're being withdrawn? I thought dear old Israel was settling ever more comfortably into the Gaza strip desite gentle wrist-slapping from Uncle Sam? Meh iuo.

but yea agreed on less distasteful methods. America shd really take tips from them. I mean, cmon, bombing SHEEP in afghansitan (that cd be seen from the air)? What a travesty. Oh yeah, a shepherd's children happened to be there too, but we don't talk about that...

I was watching the news teh other day, and it said 16 people had been killed in the Middle East, and even though I heard exactly what was said, I thought it was talking about the Midlands, so I was like OMFG some people in England died.

LOL. Just what is needed when Podge and I get ourselves started on political commentary and general depression... Spanx
