I don't get to read the paper or watch the news as much as others here do. OK...I'll admit it...I don't LIKE to read the paper or watch the news very much at all. I get my information from radio snippets and word of mouth or from reading threads on Pixies. Not very conscientious...huh? Well, I'm not completely uninformed...just not completely informed!

My query? We are on yellow alert now? I've heard that another terrorist attack is highy likely in the very near future. I've heard that deportations have been happening and that national security has been stepped up once again. I've heard this, that and another thing...and I don't rightly know exactly what's happening. When I do find time to sit and watch the news, they are NEVER talking about the current situation.

So.......what's happening? Anyone care to clue me in? TY in advance!

Just wanted to let you know that you're not alone in the less than informed category, Lixy! I avoid watching the news and reading about all the horrible things people in this world find to do to one another

Americans were advised that a possible attack could be in the stages of being planned for major events this summer, the morning after Bush gave a speech outlining his plan for Iraq. They did not change the terror alert level/color from my understanding. They released the photo of a group of men and 1 woman who may be suspects for various terrorist activities, several of them were suspects in attacks in Africa, Kenya, I believe.

I hate watching the news myself.....I know something bad is going on but I guess it just seems more realistic when I see it on there. A friend of mine is always hounding me as to why I haven't watched the news.....

Ummm...don't they change the Terror Alert color like every other day?...I think it's like a mood ring..they change it depending on what they feel like that day. I for one dont' pay much attention to it. They've been saying that another attack is imminent since 9-11. Who's planning it? We've got Saddam (probably in some penthouse apartment in NYC, but we've got him) and Bin Laden is more than likely dead. I think they keep talking about terror attacks so everyone will shut up about the high gas costs. Just my 2 cents.

Lixy~ I am just like you with my information. I watch the news a few times a month at most. Thankfully my bf keeps me somewhat up to date on current events. I just find that it can get overwhelming and frustrating hearing all the negative stuff, especially if you are not "doing" anything about it. Talking about the way things "should" be is okay every once in a while, but unless you are going to be proactive and try to make a difference, there really isn't much point.

Never say never, but if you do it's okay to change your mind~me, I think

Lixy, the quote that the only thing to fear is fear itself is crap.

Fear is a perfectly healthy way of dealing with a basically hostile environment.

It gets the juices going and pushes you to develop coping strategies.

Fear of fear is what you have to fear, because it leads to denial and,

as a consequence, no coping strategies. Come the moment that the fear

would have primed you for, you're a deer in the headlights.

News Flash: Government sources outline new threat

(5/29/04, Washington, DC) Today the administration reported a new and insidious threat to our safety and security. It appears that there are certain elements among us who are intent on viewing Pixies women in various states of undress. The government announced it has started a full-fledged search for those aiming to abscond with panties, those focused on women’s posteriors, and those intent upon handling the lovely Pixie lady’s breasts. The Homeland Secuity Administration leaked that it has also picked up on increased levels of electronic transmissions of lusty conversations which the agency termed “cybersex”. A new series of alert levels has been developed based upon colors of women’s undergarments: the lowest level will be white, then beige, blue, and red with the highest level being black. Stayed tuned to this station for breaking developments on this new and frightening situation.

Alert:Check PF for panties!Check Aqua for postereors(sp?) Irish
P.S.Check Irish for drool marks & cum stains!

LMAO Rockintime!!!

This is a test of the emergency broadcast system. Local authorities and broadcasters have cooperated to keep you informed. In thie case of a terror attack, major weather event, or other emergency, please stay tuned to this station for news & information.

This is only a test.

Had this been an actual emergency, we would have fled in terror, and may or may not have gotten around to actually using the system we've set up.

This concludes this test of the emergency broadcast system.
