Helpless civilians die everyday, and we do nothing of it.
Whatever, in the end I don't give a ****, America sux, blah blah, etc etc, the end.

I shall be leashing it, and taking it for a walk across someone's crops. If they glassed the top, I shall destroy, and then walk.

I hate this time of year. Everyone acts like 9/11 was last-freaking month even though it's been 9 years now. Hell, I didn't really know of it until about 2003/2004 and I'm already sick of it. >_>
9/11 was a bad thing, yes. 9/11 changed many things, yes. It was a tragedy. yes. Should we really have remembrance and patriotism shoved down our throats by the media and the school system every year? Should those of us who didn't know/were to young to really be aware of it join everyone in mourning those we have never known nor cared about? Not in my opinion.
I hate having patriotism shoved down my throat this time of year. I hate everyone being sad when most of them are too young to have really understood what was going on, and the rest of them I highly doubt lost anyone. And I really hate that if I don't want to go along with the usual 9/11 things like the prayer (I'm not a christian), the balloon releases (Yay! More pollution in the environment!), or whatever I get branded an un-American piece of ****. >_>
I respect the good points of my country; I respect our soldiers and what they do, even if not for good reason. Why is it that if I want to be excluded from one damn thing that shoves remembrance of something that happened 9-freaking-years ago, I get branded with such nice titles as un-American piece of ****?
.....Sorry for the rant. I'm tired, ticked, and I haven't had my daily caffeine fix. I also am still ticked about school yesterday... >_>
Let me remind you all of this horrible thing that happened just a couple of hundred years ago:
The Black Death.
Killed off about 100 million people.
Much more important than the attack against two skyscrapers.
Im canadian, and i was in high school when it happened. the teacher rushed in with a tv. we where like wtf is goign on? and he turned around and said something horrible is happening.
I would like to clarify that I do feel for those who lost friends and family to the 9/11 attacks, I just don't like how the rest of the country perceives the event.
It took me a long time to accept that not all Muslims were crazed extremists, I would hope that everyone realizes this sooner.

I think the reason why people were so upset about it was simply because those in the towers/planes were innocent civilians. It's different from war because those who fight CHOSE to do so. The victims of 9/11 didn't really have that choice.
Yup, all those civilians who died in Vietnam, Korea, the Gulf War, Iraq, Afghanistan don't exist. This is the kind of thing that I'm talking about.

My problem with that is not that people die everyday, my problem is that innocent people are killed everyday and our military forces are doing the killing.

To be honest, the US had it coming.
I think a better way to put it is that 9/11 was the natural consequence of the United States' Imperialist Policies.

I grieve for all dead, or none.
I find none to be the easier choice.
Yup.
Mmhmm.
And it should have a shiny plaque. :33
And a water slide
Yes. It would be such a great example of peace to set for everyone else.

Give her an Achmed the Dead Terrorist Tee shirt.
...Mine too. o_o
...and this is how Ffuzzy and his sister found out they both play Minecraft and frequent the forums.
I meant my sister. :PP
and yeah. the entire school was in shock.
...and this is how Ffuzzy and Sumdude found out that they're both the same person.
Lies! My sister doesn't even use a computer for nothing more than to check her facebook and ****. She doesn't even play any games. At all.

9/11 was America's Reichstag fire.
