OSAMA BIN LADEN
Osama bin Laden was born on March 10th, 1957, and died on May 2nd, 2011. Well, a while ago in the news, Barack Obama announced; "A small team of Americans carried out the operation. After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden, and took custody of his body." Thi
s little announcement sent a wave of fear, curiosity, and doubt across the United States, and many other places in the world. "Was it really him?", "Is he actually dead, or is it a lie?" "Will his followers strike back!?" "DID WE REALLY LAND ON THE MOON?!" Anyway. No one was really sure, and there is still doubt to this day. There had been requests for President Obama to release photos of Osama's dead body for proof, but they recently confirmed they will NOT be releasing photos. Although, they did do DNA tests, confirming it is definetly him. There is still fear of his followers attacking the states. I've heard from people here; "If I lived in New York... I'd get the f*** out of there!"
This incident caused so much comotion, it started to bother me, so I looked into it more. Honestly, I didn't even know who Osama bin Laden was untill this happened, I had never known he was responsible for the September 11th attacks on the USA, though I hated hearing his name after I found out. Honestly, I heard about this for weeks. It was aone heck of a story, and the media did an absolutely amazing job of making sure that every single person knew about it, and that it was the talk of the... world. At the moment. Not the town, a lot of the world. The media had done it again, sending many people on a rampage. "Justice has been done." - Barack Obama
HAROLD CAMPING
Harold Egbert Camping (born July 19, 1921) is an American Christian radio broadcaster. He is president of Family Radio, a California-based radio station group that spans m
ore than 150 markets in the United States. This is the man, that is responsible for scaring the heck out of many, many people, and making everyone else laugh at him, saying he is crazy. LOOK AT HIS FACE! He is CRAZY! Harold is a preacher, and a long time ago, he made predictions, and one of them was "The rapture will happen in 1994", well, that never happened, did it? And to my knowledge, HE did not acknowledge that he was incorrect, he moved on with his life and ignored it, and recently, we heard he predicted the rapture would happen on May 21st, 2011, at precicely 6:00 PM. That was three days ago, and it didn't happen, and now, everyone is calling him a fraud. Well, do you think he is a fraud? I definetly do. He has made predictions in the past, that have not came true, and the biggest one he predicted did not happen. We did not go to hell, some of us dont even believe in all of this, heavan, Satan, or anything else. We aren't all christian, and those of us who are, well, they didn't really believe you too much either.
The media only started letting us know about THIS one when it was approaching, all of a sudden everywhere I went, i heard; "Hey, did you know the world's gonna end on the 21st?" By the 20th, I was completely fed up with hearing about it. Every person who mentioned it got a really nasty glare or sarcastic comment. I do, and did not believe, this will ever happen, but this is only my oppinion. The same with 2012 (next blog entry, teehee.) I do not believe that event will occur. ALTHOUGH, I believe we will all eventually kill OURSELVES due to our own creations ruining the world. I don't believe it will happen for centuries, though.
Harold Camping also sent a wave of talk around the world, though mostly North America. My issue with his prediction in the first place, was he said 6PM. What time Zone? Where in the world? He didn't specify. When it was the 20th for me, that must have meant the UK, Australia, and some of Asia were already in hell! He is a horrible preacher, and should probably be sent to a mental hospital if he is still predicting silly things. I could be a better preacher than him... or a weatherman...woman. I predict it will rain later tonight, and into tomorrow. No, I have not checked the news yet, its just CLOUDY OUTSIDE AND LOOKS LIKE RAIN. I do not believe in his nonsense. Harolds words in his recent interview were; "I do not understand why..." his speech broke off and he looked at his watch. "I do not understand why nothing happened." Crazy man. He made many people give up important things, worrying them of the rapture. I dislike him for that.
The point of both of these stories in the same blog is just to compare. To compare the commotion caused, the stories, the result of the stories, and the aftershocks. I now believe two things. Osama bin Laden is definetly dead. We PROBABLY got to the moon, and Harold Camping is a psychopath. Comment and let me know what your views on these stories were when they were the most popular in the media. How did you feel about "The rapture happening on the 21st?" Let me know, I honestly want to hear someone else tell me their oppinion.
