When Russia and SA warn you this guy is a terrorist, when the mother is on a terror watchlist too, yeah, just a loner.
Whatever. Just another freak occurence right?
Now you're twisting my post and dodging the issue. You showed the link that a few others have been arrested in connection with the bombing, and emphasized how that apparently contracts the Obama administration's claim that they attackers likely acted alone. However, the few others who have been arrested are not on charges on assisting with the bombing itself, but for trying to cover up for their friends after the fact. Like I said, you twist any story to make a political statement, so that there's no credibility left even when you are making a legitimate statement (which is very rare). |

I usually don't believe in conspiracy theories but in this case I think there's a good likelihood that several of the Seal team were killed during the operation. There were two helicopters, and according to the US one of them just happened to malfunction and crash as soon as they arrived at the spot  and apparently no one was killed in the crash. It's possible but I think it's pretty likely some did die but it was never disclosed because Obama wanted to show that it was a flawless operation. Some Abbottabad locals spoke of bodies among the rubble of the crashed helicopter. If they did lie about a # no Seals dying the day they attacked the compound, they would need to account for their deaths at some point in the near future because loved ones would start to wonder why they haven't heard from them despite there being no official account of death. And three months later there was a report of about 30 Navy Seals dying in a helicopter attack in Afghanistan.... makes you wonder. |

haha!! Okay, we'll just take your word for it!  Total crime victims Canada: 23.8% United States: 21.1%DEFINITION: People victimized by crime (as a % of the total population). Data refer to people victimized by one or more of 11 crimes recorded in the survey: robbery, burglary, attempted burglary, car theft, car vandalism, bicycle theft, sexual assault, theft from car, theft of personal property, assault and threats. Crime statistics are often better indicators of prevalence of law enforcement and willingness to report crime, than actual prevalence. SOURCE: UNICRI (United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute). 2002. Correspondence on data on crime victims. March. Turin *yawn* I posted this already and can post many many more if I feel it's worth my time  lol this is such a silly point to even debate, there is no debate. I know Americans who have moved to Canada and said they feel much, much safer. This is from wikipedia.
"Much study has been done of the comparative experience and policies of Canada with its southern neighbour the United States, and this is a topic of intense discussion within Canada.
Historically, the violent crime rate in Canada is lower than that of the U.S. and this continues to be the case. For example, in 2000 the United States' rate for robberies was 65 percent higher, its rate for aggravated assault was more than double and its murder rate was triple that of Canada. However, the rate of some property crime types is lower in the U.S. than in Canada. For example, in 2006, the rates of vehicle theft were 22% higher in Canada than in the US.[16] Since violent crimes are a smaller fraction of all crimes, the difference between the two countries is less than the homicide rate might make it seem, and the overall rates are generally close (see Crime in the United States).[citation needed]
Furthermore, in recent years,[when?] the gap in violent crime rates between the United States and Canada has narrowed due to a precipitous drop in the violent crime rate in the U.S. For example, while the aggravated assault rate declined for most of 1990s in the U.S. and was 324 per 100,000 in 2000, the aggravated assault rate in Canada remained relatively steady throughout and was 143 per 100,000 in 2000. In other areas, the U.S. had a faster decline. For instance, whereas the murder rate in Canada declined by 36% between 1991 and 2004, the U.S. murder rate declined by 44%. [17] Both Saskatoon and Regina consistently have violent crime rates that would place them among the 10 most violent cities in the US, and often individually exceed larger US centres in terms of total numbers for Aggravated Assaults and Robbery.[citation needed]
The homicide rate in Canada peaked in 1975 at 3.03 per 100,000 and has dropped since then; it reached lower peaks in 1985 (2.72) and 1991 (2.69). It reached a post-1970 low of 1.73 in 2003. The average murder rate between 1970 and 1976 was 2.52, between 1977 and 1983 it was 2.67, between 1984 and 1990 it was 2.41, between 1991 and 1997 it was 2.23 and between 1998 to 2004 it was 1.82.[18] The attempted homicide rate has fallen at a faster rate than the homicide rate.[19]
By comparison, the homicide rate in the U.S. reached 10.1 per 100,000 in 1974, peaked in 1980 at 10.7 and reached a lower peak in 1991 (10.5). The average murder rate between 1970 and 1976 was 9.4, between 1977 and 1983 it was 9.6, between 1984 and 1990 it was 9, between 1991 and 1997 it was 9.2 and between 1998 and 2004 it was 6.3. In 2004, the murder rate in the U.S. dipped below 6 per 100,000, for the first time since 1966, and as of 2010 stood at 4.8 per 100,000 [17]
Approximately 70 percent of the total murders in the U.S. are committed with firearms, versus about 30 percent in Canada.[20]"

I would say canada is more free.
x2 - non-police state, no terrorist attacks on our soil, lower taxes for higher income earners, much lower crime rate, lower disparity between the upper class and lower, friendler people, and we get better treatment when abroad and people see our passport reads "Canada" and not the US, no housing crash or to a much lower extent, etc. Still not perfect but much more favourable than living in the US. Only downside is the weather, but that's well worth the trade. |

does that mean that you believe that nasser did not die but instead went into hiding like the mahdi, and is about to come back for the end of the world?? wow bobs I didnt know you were a shia. If you weren't retarded you would realize I do not believe in the conspiracy part of Romano's post because I've posted in this thread confirming Nasser's death and as much of the cause as we know, what I appreciate about his post is what it tells us about who Nasser was and what he was like. |

There's no book. It's a rumour he spread to stay relevant. As for HOW he died. Effects of years and years of steroid abuse. Something gave in and that was all she wrote. No doubt officially it would be 'congenital heart defect that was hereditary' or some bullshit of the sort. Abuse.
You should really stfu when trying to discuss things you know nothing about. There was a book, two volumes actually, with hundreds of pages in total and tons of material. He never published it as he was double minded because for one he started to feel that the readers will not appreciate the amount of information he went out of his way to include and would instead criticize him as they did after his bb.com interviews, and secondly there was some risk of legal problems for defamation. Someone close to Nasser made backups of the saved material from his home computer, so it's preserved, but will unlikely ever be published. |

I posted this in the 40-page Nasser RIP thread but since it's no longer stickied I figured I'll start a new thread with it. Just pasting my two posts I made there, enjoy  The Switzerland milk truck rumour he referred to is actually another one of the sarcastic stories he made for a laugh, in addition to the working odd jobs. He had a hilarious sense of humour which many people didn't quite get, which is what made it even more funny. This is the actual start of the milk truck rumour, where he emailed back this guy who had asked for an autographed pic which he hadn't paid for (he may have thought his account was charged but it was not). After this David made a post online on some forum about it, and it spread from there. From: Nasser El sonbaty < Nasser@cts.com> Subject: Re: Nasser El Sonbaty Productions Customer Receipt/Purchase Confirmation To: baseball01232000@yahoo.comDate: Friday, July 4, 2008, 3:28 PM Nasser died three weeks ago.

Which one, are you talking about, there were approx four interations of the Ford GT40, and I believe only one was produced for production, it had a TV and an 351 in it. These Lussos, and 330 GTCs were production road cars...not race cars http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_GT40C3s, styled by Shinoda looked good, but kinda had that elephan on wheels look to them...and a bit too much chrome...I actually like the 1962 Corvette, with combined the rear of the 1963s and the front end of the C2s (double headlights)  I believe you are talking about the MkI and the Mk IIs MkII (with Gurney bubble)  Yup those ones |

Well, it was a "racing" Ferrari. To me, the Lusso and the 330 GTC are probably the most beautiful Ferraris...one because of the lines of the Lusso and GTC, and two because the Lusso was last of the line of the 250s.
If comparing to older cars, neither Ferrari can touch the Ford GT in beauty. I'd even pick a C3 Corvette over them. |

nah cells remote controlled backpacks full of ball bearing and nails abandonned in a street crowd are a trademark of islamists, look nofurther, it's just simply a dumb, useless, cowardly terror act from some muslim loser as it seems to be, no conspiracy theory there.
In other news stocks and gold are plunging...
well obviously some skinny rich nerdy saudi arabian loser who was sick of being laughed at by big white american men suddenly found a passion for ben laden and the coran some months ago, reached al quaeda thru the internet , and here is the result. Doesnt requires much more than that.
And as i said it, in other news; gold silver and stocks are plunging just like they did before 2008 economic collapse... that's the real bad news of the day.
Lol, coming from the idiot who made the above two posts: looks like just another deranged atheist kid , probably from a dysfunctional family.

It is not immoral to enquire about how someone died and it is certainly not "cold".
That being said, the people in this argument, HERE mostly fall into two, self interested groups.
1. Those who are engaged in the same substance abuse as Nasser.
Naturally they are the least interested in the cause of his death because that would shake their vigilant adoption of the time honored cure for all ailments (the head in the sand).
2. People who do not use steroids.
Who wish to hear that he died from steroids because they are jealous / envious of those who have the guts/stupidity/balls (whichever particular polarity you go on what they are doing) to trade life for muscle.
..
Just for the record - I don't think either group are immoral. We're humans, we need to survive - whatever we can learn that helps that.. helps. Being nosey might seem like being nosey - but it's just another way an organism stays on top of its environment.
We've said what Nasser's family has told about his death and the cause, if anyone doesn't like the answer for whatever reason I could not care any less. Anyone who thinks that us giving his family's official account of what happened amounts to "covering up" or "lying" can go fuck themselves. For anyone who is unsatisifed with "the fog" then feel free to try to contact the family yourself and ask for more. If you weren't close enough to Nasser during his life to now contact his family to discuss what happened then it means its none of your business anyway. |

Ever since news broke last week of Nasser El Sonbaty’s passing, the Internet has been aflame with rumors of all sorts as to the cause of death. In many ways the continued discussion among bodybuilding fans is a testament to the impact Nasser had on the sport. For this reason we greatly appreciate Guillermo Tom taking the time to clarify the circumstances once and for all.
“Nasser had been ill for sometime. In November he was admitted to the hospital here in San Diego for breathing problems. It was then that he was diagnosed with heart failure and kidney damage. He was on dialysis from that day on. The doctors told him he was not a candidate for a heart transplant because his heart was too weak. He went back to Egypt to visit his family, which consisted of his mother, father and one sister. He died in his sleep while in Egypt. Whether or not it was caused by any of the illnesses I mentioned, we do not yet know. That’s the true story.”
Guillermo and Nasser were good friends in the early 2000's but hardly spoke in his last 6 years or so, maybe once every 1-2 years they'd speak. I know a ton of shit about Guillermo which I could post if I wanted to, and I'm tempted to since I know Nasser would not have approved of Guillermo spreading this kind of stuff for attention or to show that he was in the know. Either way whatever he is saying is all heresay as he never heard an ounce of it from Nasser himself. |
