9/11 seems so long ago...

[Trumptonium]

on the positive side the original towers were hideous. at least the replacement looks nice.

the originals were from 1970s, its no surprise.

sears tower was completed three years after WTC and the architect managed to not make it an aesthetic cockwomble

to the contrary it looks quite nice

heck, John Hancock was 1960s architecture and was good as well. maybe it's a New York problem of being devoid of eyesight between Art Deco and 80s.

Bible describes violence. Quran prescribes violence.

So all that stuff in Leviticus about putting people to death doesn't count. Also I guess that makes most of the Islamic world not true Muslims.

Except there are bible verses that conflict with Leviticus. Some of those being...

Whereas in the Quran, do you see anything about loving everyone? Loving thy neighbor? Granting salvation to the wicked? No.

I was a baby when 9/11 happened, so I don't really remember the day. But I have seen videos online of the attack and let me tell you just watching it makes you depressed and angry at the fact there are people out there in the world that would take the lives of thousands of people and leave the families of those lost hurt.

RIP, to all those who passed on that day as we approach the 16th anniversary

Same. I was born on August 9th and I was only a year old so I don't remember this. But the video makes you depressed and mad as hell. I feel you brotha.

Off-topic. You want to debate the nature of Islam? Do it in the megathread or start another one. This is a commemoration thread.

Friendly reminder that the British broke a 200 year tradition to play the American national anthem outside Buckingham Palace after 9/11.

I'm not crying, I'm just really hot and my eyes are sweating. ;_;

you know, for a website about politics and differing opinions there sure is a lot of censorship
just waiting for ns to turn into one of max's books

here's hoping soon, so people can move on elsewhere

There is already a censorship on NS, they don't like it when you critisise Islam

If you want freedom of speech, go to 4chan, then you can say whatever you like. Nationstates forums never claims to allow free speech, so there is no reason for you to be under that illusion.

As always, a 9/11 thread on Nationstates has turned toxic. It would be nice if it didn't happen, even just for one year. But I suppose that is asking for too much.

I think last years thread or the one in 2015 wasn't bad

But that was before Donnie made everyone decide that hate was cool.

Who was Donnie again?

EDIT: Ah. Don Trump

Then stop saying falsehood about Al-Islam. Also, come here, I refuted your post: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=398369&start=3175

Yeah, it's just more and more are coming out of the woodwork now.

Worldwide?...Not really. And Trump never pioneered hate being "cool". Rather ignorant suggestion, as though nobody thought hate was cool before Trump ran for office.

Aaaaaaaaaand my soul just started crying. That was awesome.

[Zanera]

I don't really see where President Trump comes into this except him visiting the 9/11 memorial and saying some words about it.

[Amuaplye]

I think people exaggerate tragedies to garner attention for themselves, or something...

Anyway, shouldn't we be celebrating it's been sixteen years and we haven't had a 9/11 level islamic terrorist attack since?

CELEBRATING!?

Are you mad? 9/11 shouldn't be fucking CELEBRATED.

He's saying that we should be grateful that there hasn't been a terror attack that hasn't killed more than 1,000 people in 16 years. At least, that's how I see it.

That's how I read it as well.
