What the hell kind of morality is that?

1-It was a 3rd of that.

2-They were Human

3-They were Amerikkkan.

Would you prefer I laughed longer? Or pretended like I gave a fuck and was sympathetic?

Of course this is a great country worth fighting for. The changes in attitude I have witnessed since that mass murder have pretty much all been negative, though. There is way too much pro wrestling mentality around here. As if going in and extinguishing small groups of people will truly help.

How long before we start parading military equipment in the streets, like the Red Square displays in Moscow, so that a bunch of drunken fatasses can cheer and whoop and convince themselves that the world is sharply Good and Evil, with them squarely in the corner of Good? Oh, yeah - we do have those air shows that people die at every so often.

Nah. Nobody celebrates April 12th (Fort Sumter) or December 7th (Pearl Harbor).

And June 6th.

Yea Nick, I see your point. This wasn't really an isolated incident but more like Gavrilo Princip's assasination of the Archduke Ferdinand (which sparked World War I). There's a lot of reasons for why these people did what they did - that's not justifying their actions because I just can't do that (just like I can't justify Palestinian suicide bombers, no matter what reasons they spout for their actions). If you ask me it takes a very evil person to do something that kills 3,000 innocent people but they had their reasons and they unfortunately did it.

But most will not realize this. They will see the US as totally in the right and ready to "kick their ass"... but I guess they are just simplifying things so their feeble minds can handle it.

I plan on not turning on any television tommorow - for the simple fact that I've seen way too many documentaries on the whole subject on PBS already this past week. I'll be at work tommorow occupied with other things on my mind - not that Sept 11th bothers me anymore personally.

The day it happened I remember feeling numb the whole day. I was watching ABC before the attacks happened in the morning and then the shows were interuppted with the new briefs and I saw the towers hit and collasped on live tv - which was surreal. Then I quickly got ready and went over to Tracer's house and woke him up and told him what happened - then I remember we went to go get his brother from his high school because all the schools were evacuating - we dropped him off at home and then split to go to a record store to buy some records and then went to a restuarant and ate fairly good pizza- and then went home. But it was a strange day and I don't particularly remember us enjoying ourselves - like I said it was pretty unreal and numbing.


But the media coverage in its aftermath did a good job of desensitizing me to a point where tommorow for me is just another day of going to work - for what its worth I hope tommorow passes relatively safley - but I won't place a flag on my car or anything like that - I just won't say anything about it - too many ppl will be talking about it anyway.

I'd recommend anyone to watch Dateline NBC. It started 50 mins ago, 40 to go, and it's basically just a telivised version of everything that the US knew and ignored.

I don't want to see it all over again. I almost lost it the first time. Not again.

All I want to know is if you knew one person who died in that building that was KKK-mentality racist. Or did you just spell it like that for fun?

For someone who prides himself in knowing the facts, you sure toss around generalizations.

All Amerikkkans are racist, except some childeren... young childeren....

And your not? You seem to be racist against all forms of races.
