Given that I think most of us think you're failing pretty badly, I'd say it's less subjective than you hope.

But on thr other hand I doubt people thinking you're not funny is going to stop you so I'll just take my line out of the water and go home.

I used to work at a resturaunt where you could buy a round for the back of thr house. I think people though that meant at thr end of service but there was more than one drunken burn in that kitchen.

It is. I don't care about America being attacked in response to their own actions. This could've been preventable but no, they had to invade little countries. It's like the bully beating up a kid in the playground and then being hit once and crying about it.

Yes, we should care more about the civilians that the US have killed since then.


So, you're saying that every one of the Americans killed on 9/11 was directly responsible for what America's government has done abroad? Good to know.

Because apparently because of government issues civilians must die.

There's too much conspiracy theory here for my tastes.

So objective fact is conspiracy now...?

It's still the worst recorded terrorist attack in history, as well as the fact that it showed what terrorist and extremist groups were capable of.

For the same reason that we care about the Paris Attacks or WWII.

People died, and the event affected the course of history.

Sort of like a small terraformed Mars that can teleport between universes. We don't have control over the world engine, so don't blame us if we appear in orbit around your planet.

This nation/world is always orbiting around some version of Earth (Unless there is no Earth in that universe), so the sudden appearance of this world in a universe usually has nasty tidal consequences on an Earth that doesn't have a similar Moon already.

Because 9/11 has colored American foreign policy for some time? Simple logic says that understanding something helps with understanding events that happen because of it.

This from the guy who says North Korea has religious freedom.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

I was willing to listen. Then I heard that absurdity, and I've decided to stop listening.
