vanfullofretards Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 9/11 showed that (among many other things) America wasn't invulnerable to massive catastrophe and that it can still be attacked by much less developed countries. People had this kind of rosey picture of the US before 9/11 as the best example of a developed democratic nation in the world, and that was kind of, immune to large scale violence. September 11th really changed that, it kind of gave everyone a reality check. ----------- I remember hearing that while, obviously Bin Laden was successful with his plan on 9/11 he knew too what would happen as a result. America would delve into a large scale, never ending, hugely expensive war to avenge what happened and bringing more conflict to the middle east and end up being in way worse shape than before. Rest in peace to all those that died as a result of the attacks on September 11th 2001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ERSEULA Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 How can the US expect to invade another country and strip them of what's THEIRS without any retaliation? Of course, taking what you want by force has always been repeated throughout history; but you rarely, almost never, see that without war and bloodshed. Whether this was an "inside job" or not, it still was something that would inevitably happen. Not necessarily the towers falling, but something of that caliber. I just find it really stupid how most people only look at this from OUR (America's) side. To them, WE are the monsters who stripped them from what was rightfully theirs, who fucked up their economy, and their country. But to us, they also are the monsters and the ones who fucked up the US. Then again, can we honestly blame them for taking a stand for their country? I say no. It's the same idea and the same thing that we're doing. Nonetheless, I highly respect all the lives that were lost, everyone who saved lives, and everyone who attempted to save lives. I couldn't even imagine the grief of all those families that day or the people who experienced it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

half n half Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 PS i hear alot of respect the dead, with no reason provided.. what the fuck ? So when they are alive it doesn't matter what they've done, cause once they die they earn some sort of respect? Fuck no. You earn respect, so for those who died trying to help, REST IN PEACE. You've earned my respect. your a fuckin idiot. so what your saying is we shouldnt respect the thousands of people who lost their lives simply because we didnt know them when they were alive?? thats some bullshit if i ever heard it , yeah i could get why you respect the people who helped but what about the people that were HELPLESS??? that hour of knowing your gonna die must have been the worst feeling a human could feel, its not like they had a choice of living or dying. if you wanna talk respect then you should know the first rule about it , you give it to earn it. have some heart c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realism Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 ^ That...the "respect" argument is always a delightful romp when some shitty musician overdoses, but this is a whole nother ballgame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasfacevictm Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Somebody explain to me why I should blindly support the troops. Signing up to go shoot people on the other side of the earth, because some other guy tells you it's your duty as a patriotic American... Solid plan, chief. Team America: World Police...fuck yeah.

screaming hand logo Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 you should support them because when shit hits the fan they are there for you regardless if you care for them or not. also since they willingly sign up so you dont have to take the chance of being drafted. not pro war or military but i definitely support the young men and women who sign there lives away.

gasfacevictm Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 The only shit hitting the fan is the shit that the United States throws at it every few years. Draft or not, I'm not going to war. Shit is dumb. So tell me another story. Oh sorry, I really appreciate what you young boys are doin' for us over there. My Big Macs have never tasted more like freedom. Rest easy knowin' your best friend got blown up so's I could buy more shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screaming hand logo Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 im saying if and when war was to ever be brought to our turf they would be the ones protecting you. you dont care about them or see a purpose. so why did you ask to be convinced why you should give a shit?

chemical ali Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 i do not support the military in an unjust war.the real war is right here at home.we should help our own (new orleans).iraq and afghanistan had nothing to do with 9-11.it was a golden opportunity to get our hands on their oil reserves,and best believe we are in libya right now drinking their milkshake.a lot of innocent people died in the worst way possible,and im not trying to make light of that.but i have a feeling the usa dont give a flying fuck.we are the biggest gangsters around.is it a suprise that somebody would be so pissed off at us? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOPE NOT Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 FDNY. Ladder 131 Engine 279...Redhook, Brooklyn... My son's father was one of the first responder's....his firehouse lost 5 members. We didn't know if he was alive for over a day. My son caught burnt pieces of paper that flew all the way to Brooklyn. The other Redhook firehouse lost 7. My neighbor is the Cap't there. A childhood friend worked at the Squad 1 firehouse in Park Slope. 12 perished... NY'S BRAVEST. Firefighters I know spent months digging through the rubble that was hauled out to the Staten Island dump. Just to find a fallen brother...or... an unknown person's loved one. peace.
