Recently, idiot-oy brock cam in here balthering about how the Serbs have 'endured' the bombing and it is no the end of the world as they knew it.  How enchanting. Perhaps this author just sees things a wee bit differently:     Yugoslavia 'has been bombed back to 1945' By Boris Johnson   THE Yugoslav economy has been smashed by Nato bombardment to the kind of primitive conditions that existed at the end of the Second World War, according to official figures released in Belgrade.   Officials say that there are now 500,000 workers out of jobs, an unemployment rate of about 27 per cent, with concealed unemployment at 50 per cent. The elderly have been told that their pensions will be frozen, and payments are now irregular   Yugoslavia's ability to manufacture cars has been entirely eliminated with the destruction of the Zastava factory in Kragujevac, which has in turn left 120 contractors facing bankruptcy.   A month ago the oil giant Petrohemija was one of the pearls of the Yugoslav economy, its value estimated by Western accountants at about #600 million. The company's reservoirs are now all but destroyed   Yugoslavia's two largest oil refineries, at Pancevo and Novisad, have been bombed to the ground, in addition to the Yugopetrol warehouses ========   It is so sad to thiunk that brock is so diingenuous to equate the END OF THE WROLD with "the end of the world AS WE KNOW IT"   The Serbs now live in an economy and world of rough parity with fifty years ago.   This is most assuredly the end of their world as they knewm it in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS.   brocko can content himself with sayimg "at least they are not rioting in the streets" as if this changes much at all. Their country is destroyed and they have no hope to see it revived economically in this generation.   so let little brocko try to dissuade you from maing serious preparation because the Serbian situation is really "Not that bad after all. They're not rioting are they?"       ROTFLMAO ROTFLMAO   http://www.telegraph.co.uk/et?ac=000271261842766&rtmo=kJe7bxLp&atmo=gggg g3qK&pg=/et/99/6/7/wserb07.html -- Paul Milne If you live within five miles of a 7-11, you're toast.

Why would anyone WANT to riot in the streets? They're too busy doing the old "duck and cover". They're afraid to set their sprinklers in the yard.

The Serbs may count their blessings in 7 months. We gave them a head start on Y2K. Because they are used to living a much simpler life, I suspect that they will weather Y2K much better that us.

There you go again Paul. I predicated my scenerio by saying that the Serbs had endured 17,000 bombing missions.

Where is the rioting and looting? That's what you say would happen? That's why you put up that fence and bought the guns&ammo. People just don't react the way that you say they do. The more articles that you post showing how badly the Serbs have been hit just shows that, during times of need, people will usually work together to overcome adversity.

There you go again Paul. I've never said that.

> because the Serbian situation is really "Not that bad after all. > They're not rioting are they?"

Actually the opposite. They have pulled together and the worse it gets the more that they are pulling together. By posting articles showing a group of people who are working together during extreme adversity, you are disproving your assumption. > > ROTFLMAO ROTFLMAO

pardon me, who is going to riot with bombs falling overhead? They have joined together because they are "victims" of being attacked by outside forces. When TSHTF around this neck of the woods, people will be mad as hell at how their government set them up. They'll be looking for trees and ropes, my man! "Don't worry, be happy? On target? The check is in the mail? Nearly finished? Banks are the safest place to keep your money? Quick everybody...there goes a flesh- eatin' attorney, GRAB HIM!

Who do you think the Serbs blame for the bombing that's going on over there? You don't think that they know that all it would take to stop the bombing is for the Sebian government to sign the peace agreement and allow the Kosovars to return to Kosovo under the protection of a multinational force?

Haven't you seen the interviews of Serbians criticizing Malosovic for what's happened? Still, with probably closer to 20,000 bombing missions, loss of bridges, electricity, and water they continue to work together to overcome adversity.

You've done it again triple "a" with an "@". Why don't you guys just make this a CSY2k mirror site?

-- Bob Brock (bbrock@i-america.net), June 08, 1999.

Gee Bob, get a hold of yourself. What's the problem, you don't like sharing Paul? Examine operation desert storm. Who got blamed in THAT one? Not Saddam. It only made them stronger as fellow countrymen. Your theory is painfully weak.

Bob,

"Share what you know. Learn what you don't."

I like that line.

-- R. Wright (blaklodg@hotmail.com), June 08, 1999.

Get a grip Brock. The Iraqis have had a over million children die since the Gulf War because of skyrocketing infant mortality. Electrical power is only available for about two hours a day in Baghdad. Disease from contaminants released in the war is rampant. Their refineries are only cracking 50% of the crude they process and the rest is being dumped into the Tigris river. Its a hell hole over there, as it is in Serbia. Wake up.

Gee -a-, does this mean great minds think alike? BTW...you throw all the best parties in this place, hahahahohoho! I just love your threads, ohhh, except, Stan's throwing a good one on the "10" scenerio. MY favorite subject! (Enough of the phoo-phoo, let's get down to brass tacks!)

Mr. Bob Brock,

Yugoslavia doesn't have black and Hispanic gangs.

Thanks Rico, I'd have to say that you've just contributed one more of the many "BINGOS", found on the "Bob, go home, you have no credible theories" card!

-- Will continue (farming@home.com), June 08, 1999.

Yeah, you guys are right. Even if Y2k were as bad as the situation in Iraq or the bombing in Serbia, the Europeans will be fine. It's only the US with the SLA....errr...I mean Spic and Black gangs that won't make it.

-- Bob Brock (bbrock@i-america.net), June 08, 1999.

Bobbit,

Ever been in an apartment building that was hit by a gang? I was, don't know or care about the colour of their skin, it don't matter. BTW, the guys boiling out of said building with AK47s were white.

Don't play the race card, it will embaress you. The citys are a powder keg, who knows what the match will be.

-- CT (ct@no.yr), June 08, 1999.

CT,

The "race card" was played before I logged on. If you really believe that a "street gangs" can do more to disrupt society than the SLA, more power to you...
