This sadistic, barbaric attack must be one of the strangest terror attacks ever. One would never think, from the killer's online comments, that he was a mass murderer in waiting. The killer was right-wing and anti-jihad, yes, but he was not a neo-Nazi (he was pro-Israel) or a white supremacist (he opposed the BNP because they are racist). He was Christian, but not a fanatic (he was pro-gay). In fact he was apparently like me - liberal right. He was anti-racist, pro-gay and pro-Israel. So how on earth did someone like that become a terrorist against the West? Perhaps he...

But now with the global economy near or in a recession, oil prices have plummeted to about $3 a gallon in his area...

Not sure if this is the right place to make a suggestion to the powers that be here at FR, but just an idea. Why not do away with the multiple listing of the same thread on the reply page? In other words, whenever there is a posting to a thread, bump it to the top, but only list it once. That way it will be just as easy to see what threads are active but without the repetitive titles on one page. Would also allow for more threads to be listed on one page. Also prevents one thread from...
