9/11

[Furry Alairia and Algeria]

I was one when it happened. But I never get to know them. You're lucky that you're still alive.

And I lived not only through 9/11 at a much more advance age than most here- but I grew up through the bullshit that it was supposed to justify.

As did I, and as such, do you know how I view the Iraqi war, in this current day and age?

[BlazingAngel]

How could I be shutting everything out even though I'm trying to get the real thing going?

You know what? Never mind, do what you guys need to do.

[Mysterious Stranger 2]

Mine weren't, and neither was I. Had my father or uncle died, safe to say, I wouldn't be here.

I was one when it happened. But I never get to know them. You're lucky that you're still alive.

The blatant SJW style "more oppressed than you" shit, though.

Because you told people to get out and flew into a tirade when people tried to discuss things.

I already know what real war look like. How? By talking to veterans with PTSH who've been breaking every minutes or so and people who were there and been breaking down every minutes or so.

That called suffering.

Yeah.

I've seen someone OD in front of me. Lost two friends to that shit.

Doesn't mean I want to kill all the Afghanis anywhere near the opium field that heroin came from.

[Arcturus Novus]

My condolences to those who were killed by this attack, and because of aggression caused by this attack.

I would say quit while you're ahead, but....

Refresh my memories if someone said that.

Are you truly unable to draw the obvious comparison between that, and the War on Terror?

I'm asking about in the thread.

Do I care?

[Apollinis]

The positive to be drawn from this is that we're on page 12 and have so far only had one member of the Steel Beam Brigade inflict their views on the thread.

I didn't expect your care in the first place, but at least I have closure herr.

JET BEAMS CAN'T MELT FUEL STEEL.

(I'm sorry. No disrespect to those fallen, I just had to make fun of conspiracy theorists.)

[BlazingAngel]

Okay guys, shut up and knock it off. I'm already a dumbass and shouldn't be like a total retard so let get back to the real discussion. If you have nothing to say, what do you really want to talk about. We're really going off the edge right now.

[Apollinis]

Okay guys, shut up and knock it off.

Which part of "you do not have thread ownership and you, like the rest of us not being a mod, cannot dictate the terms of the discussion" is not clear?

Fuel beams can't melt steel jets?
I always feel like the truthers' narrative makes more sense than what actually happened. I guess if you're making something up, you can make it as intuitive as you like.

Alright, smartass, who started this thread?

Starting the thread gives you no special consideration in the thread. And calling people "smartass" is not how a good citizen here behaves.

Which part of "you do not have thread ownership and you, like the rest of us not being a mod, cannot dictate the terms of the discussion" is not clear?

While is is true that there is no thread ownership, that does not give you or anyone else the right to divert thread to please yourself.

I had hoped this might remain as a commemoration thread or a "where were you when" thread, but that seems not to be the case. Since the discussion has not been overly acrimonious, we'll let it stay open for a discussion of the September 11 attacks, their origins and circumstances, and their remembrance, but do you all consider yourselves ominously loomed over by a disappointed Farn.

[Farnhamia]

You are the one who doesn't seem to give a fuck about other people suffering. You just want to ignore the fucking millions of innocents that have died in US attacks on their nations as a result of a terrorist attack they had nothing to do with.

How could I do that, you dumb fuck! How could I ignore other people suffering and not care about it, you piece of shit! In reality, I actually felt sorry for them and all the people who been suffering from this fucking country. Do you have any ideas what it is to suffer? Do you have any ideas what it like to lose somebody that you loved? Out of all of this fucking discussion, all I've just wanted to do is to put up a fucking remembrance page. Just Once. Just fucking once! Now, thank to you, I felt bad for everybody in this page for no fucking reason at all!

I'm sorry.... it shouldn't happen like that. I've seen people lost everything and all I ever wanted is to help them.

oh god...

Nice way to express your feelings and care for others. *** Warned for flaming. *** When you get that upset, step away, close the page, calm down. Do not click Submit.

Ah, yes. The one day a year I get to quote Malcolm X.
"We took this country by terror away from the Sioux, the Apache, Arikara, the Comanche, the Arapaho, the Navajo. Terrorism.
We took Africans away from their country to build our way of ease and kept them enslaved and living in fear. Terrorism.
We bombed Grenada and killed innocent civilians, babies, non-military personnel.
We bombed the black civilian community of Panama with stealth bombers and killed unarmed teenage and toddlers, pregnant mothers and hard working fathers.
We bombed Qaddafi's home, and killed his child. Blessed are they who bash your children's head against the rock.
We bombed Iraq. We killed unarmed civilians trying to make a living. We bombed a plant in Sudan to pay back for the attack on our embassy, killed hundreds of hard working people, mothers and fathers who left home to go that day not knowing that they'd never get back home.
We bombed Hiroshima. We bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon and we never batted an eye.
Kids playing in the playground. Mothers picking up children after school. Civilians, not soldiers, people just trying to make it day by day.
We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff that we have done overseas is now brought right back into our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost."

Like Japan didn't deserve it.

That's total war for ya. It's a terrible reality that has existed since WWII. We all hate it, but we can't stop it.

I'm not sure you understand what total war is....
