Good for them! Of course, what good is it when you only have access to a dozen government approved websites?

LAN party, enough said.

Of course expect it to be used for "other" purposes as well.

No crowd control or organization, that's how they roll. I guess you really can't organize a million people though and this is the result each year...

Re: Jesus!

Some of us believe in the spiritual, some of us believe in the physical, but we got to believe in something to get us through life's twist and turns.

Re: Jesus!

No organization? Really?

I have many friends that took the journey in the early 90's, and told me about hundreds of ushers, people handing out the typical dress wear, rugs, water, food. I seriously doubt its a crazed fest of worshippers (sp).

It can't be too organized with hundreds of people getting trampled every year. But in the end it is their religious duty to go, and they know the risks.

If they feel like taking that risk of getting trampled in the yearly stampede, more power to them.

Well who are you going to believe: your friends who have first-hand knowledge, or snap judgments on the internet based on Google searches?

Re: Jesus!

Smart ass comments aside Fatness, it's a FACT that people get trampled to death year after year. Like I said, more power to them.

NEWS reports of carnage every year aren't snap judgements of internet commentators. It is a fact this happens. and there are hundreds of legitimate news organizations that report on the madness.

hehe...touche!

But ummm, yea.

Lots of death's here in the U.S. from over crowded venues, such as concert seating rows collapsing an such things that go along with public safety.

But what Im wondering is why bring that "fact" up when its got nothing to do with wifi in the city?

Unless of course your trying to divert potential visitors, you know, the ones that will be doing "other" things?

Exactly. A news article reporting something positive connected with Muslims is an article you can expect certain people to try to derail.
