9/11 [Discussion area]

[Shatter]

me im with astcell, i still wish to nuke someone for this, thats the anger i still feel and will always feel 'til the day i die.
just as my grandparents felt this way over peral harbor.

I'm up for leveling the entire middle east.

Nuke, pave over it, sell Mc Pork sandwich to any survivors.

Make sure everyone is at least steril, and yes, kill te women because if they ddon't have kids, there will be no new generation to retaliate.

Does this sound harsh? Sorry, I'm just paraphrasing the way they feel about us.

[Shatter]

Bin Laden has been mad since Americans have been on Muslim soil (1991). So they attack.

Now we have more Americans on Muslim soil than ever before, and I don't see an end date when we will come home. As much as that sucks, imagine Osama sitting somewhere realizing that he went about things the wrong way. And he did.

We're been there since the 1950's. It goes way back to when we put the Shaw of Iran in power.

As for their soil.. fuck'em.

I'll be more tolerant when they get their asses off U.S. soil. They come over, enjoy all our freedoms, and dictate to us, tell us how wrong we are.

Fuck them.

I'm going to be a close minded opinionated American. I'm going to give a big middle finger to Muslins around teh world because i think them and their religion are big fucking shit piles. If I could I would serve them all a nice big bowl of pig shit roasted in pig blood with pages of the Koran to wipe their mouths with after.

I'm going to be this way because it's my right. I don't have to be tolerant of them. If they want tolerance they can go find it in theor own homeland. If they can't, then they can take a photo copy of the U.S. Constitution home with them. It works for us, they can make it work for them.

Tey want to hide behind the way and laws of the U.S. which they despise.

Again, Fuck them.

do i think the u.s. government had a roll in this, i dont know but i wouldnt put it past them.
they seem to be the only ones that have gained the most out of what happened that day.

on that day the world shock with fear and the leaders of almost every nation held their breath as the sleeping giant stirred. as mothers in middle america called for the nuking of the middle east, the world waited to see what we would do and their thoughts drifted to japan in 1945 and they shock even harder...
...but what they were fearing never happened the sleeping giant went back to sleep.

the world feared us on that day and the weeks that followed, but now they laugh at us knowing that we will not do anything even if we are attacked.

there is a jail house saying, kindness is mistaken for weakness

so for the rambling but this topic unleashes many many thoughts...

the first time our safety was breached by an attack on American soil...

Normally I'd bring up 1812, but that's not quite appropriate.

I must say that I am deeply impressed at everyone for thier comments and stories. With all the differences in location, age, culture, and opinions, everyone has remained civil. Wish the rest of the world could be like that.

Apparently Hawaii isn't part of America.

*blink*

Hawaii became the 50th state of the USA on August 21 1959.

That would be 18 years AFTER Pearl Harbor was attacked...so Hawaii wasn't part of the United States on December 7th 1941.

A woman on one of my e-mail lists passed along a 9/11 tribute last week. She then added her own notes, saying this must never be forgotten, etc. She said many days will be remembered, but none will be darker in history than this, the first time our safety was breached by an attack on American soil...

*blink*

Apparently Hawaii isn't part of America.


Of course, she also is one of those people who was caught in the bait and switch, believing that we were attacking Iraq and Saddam Hussein in retribution for the attacks...

[astcell]

Last nuke job was 1945...yea, people forgot what good it does.

[KeLviN]

it's amazing that we can all remember so vividly our first reactions....


....and how well i think we will remember into the future.


ast; no nukes. the public cant accept even the slightest collateral damage any more... beyond that; the public cant even stand the loss of troops.....

Hey zziks, you are right up the road from me!

Anyway, I agree that some folks seem to be milking 9/11, and I hate that. We need to nuke something and finish this once and for all. Not enough time for a politically correct war. We need closure, and soon!

[astcell]

We need to leave Iraq now. Saddam is no longer a threat. Case closed.

I feel horrible for the families that lost their loved ones in the attack , but more importantly I feel sick from the "patriotism" and propaganda that seems to come with this date I predict that in a few years this day will turn into another stupid American holiday. Don't get me wrong I love it here we have rights and freedoms that others don't , I just get sick of all the media and misinformation that we have to wade through , yes we have a open wound in NY we can see that , now what are we going to do to heal it up ? Invade a couple of middle eastern countries ?
only to do what? help rebuild the country's overinflated ego?


the concept of 9/11 sickens me period.

(( takes a deep breath and steps off the soapbox ))

Zz...

without passing judgement....

Now we have more Americans on Muslim soil than ever before, and I don't see an end date when we will come home. As much as that sucks, imagine Osama sitting somewhere realizing that he went about things the wrong way. And he did.

After two years, I am still sorting out my feelings about 9/11. I worked in the tallest building in Alexandria so I watched them rebuild the Pentagon through a telescope we set up in lunch room. I also visited ground zero 5 months after 9/11, the ground was still smoking. All these things have made me less tolerant, quicker to judge, less trusting.

Conspiracy theories about the events of 9/11 are crap, it gives the current administration and the neoconservative too much credit in the brains department. I believe that the events leading up to 9/11 occurred because our intelligence agencies collect more data than it is possible to analyze and that we had hubris to believe that no one would mount such an attack in the continental US.
