Distraught over the re-election of President George W. Bush, a Georgia man traveled to New York City, went to Ground Zero and killed himself with a shotgun blast, police said yesterday. The suicide victim, Andrew Veal, 25, was discovered just before 8 a.m. yesterday when a worker for the Millennium Hotel looking at Ground Zero from an upper floor saw a man lying atop the concrete structure through which the 1 and 9 subway lines run. The worker, thinking the man was sleeping, alerted colleagues and the Port Authority police were notified. But when they got to Veal's body, they realized he had killed himself with a shot to the head from a .12-gauge shotgun.

You sign up today to drag out an old, old thread just to call the folks here names?
Troll - there's ozone in the air.
Your right. I have NO compassion for an idiot.
Welcome to FR (sorta.) I have a serious question: How did you find this thread? It has not had a reply in months, yet you snagged it on your first day. How? I have seen this happen before where someone signs up to post on a thread that hasn't had any traffic in months. I am just wondering how it happens.
Thanks.
Oh well ... nevermind.
Oy, I'm too late again. :(
I've had a theory for a while, that most of these fly-by-night thread resurrecters are actually (a) one very busy person (b) a gaggle of busy persons working in concert. It (or they) try too hard to sound "authentic", by deliberate misspellings, lack of capitalization, etc., but somehow all the posts sound alike.
The common thread to these sorts of posts is (a) we don't know what we're talking about, while they do (b) we Christians are *too judgmental*, and above all (c) we should STOP TALKING about it. Even though the troll always appears on threads where the talking has completely stopped, sometimes for years. :D
The anti-Christian hostility leads me to another theory of mine, that the troll/trolls is/are not only liberal but gay.
