Every year, as we get closer, I think, "maybe this will be the year the day passes by without me being reminded." And every year some media outlet is
throwing that shit in my face. Fuck, I fucking hate today.spyderdog - 9-11-2010 at 03:47 PM
its never gonna ever stop
its way to much of a hot button political issue, and an easy manipulation talking point for people that have nothing to do with it
its really horriblebarc0debaby - 9-11-2010 at 04:36 PM
Giuliani's 9/11 reveals how one man, confronted by a city on its knees, stood strong in the face of the life-or-death challenges he never dreamt he
would encounter. The mayor describes his urgent efforts to establish a safe command post for the city's leadership team; protect sites like the Statue
of Liberty, bridges and subways; marshal doctors and nurses; and conduct a press conference to let people know city leadership was intact and working
to protect them.
I know the dude did alot, but his 9/11 has been going on for the last 9 campaign years, does he really need a documentary about himself?Discipline - 9-11-2010 at 04:55 PM

^Ignorance and bigotry have been ruining our country since it's inception, and it continues today.
And that, my friends, is what I think of when I think of 9/11. At the risk of sounding insensitive to those that lost loved ones, it's the hundreds of
thousands, perhaps well over a million, people that have lost their lives as a result of our country's need for revenge. And the mistrust and
suspicion and downright hatred and vitriol aimed at me and my co-religionists. I remember my wife and my friends' wives being paranoid to wear
clothing that identified them as Muslims for sometime after 9/11/01. I recall the disgusted looks directed at us from some people. I remember the
innocent American Muslims arrested and held for months without charge and no contact to their families and no legal representation. I remember the
torture. I remember the mangled babies. And I remember entire countries thrown into chaos because of our meddling under false pretenses.
And I don't have to look far to be reminded of the effects of it to this day, not when I see mosques across the country being protested on the assumed
grounds that all Muslims are ticking timebomb sleeper cell terrorists and every mosque is a den of vipers just waiting to strike. Or when construction
equipment for one of those mosques is doused with gasoline and put to flame. Or a pipebomb is placed outside a mosque full of worshipers in Florida.
Or a "Pastor" tries to get his 15 minutes of fame by organizing a "burn the Qur'an day." Or when I am asked to answer for the crimes of a few
criminals masquerading as Muslim holy warriors. Or even just that the words "Islam" and "Muslim" are used derogatorily, and the fact that our
President treats them as such despite his overtures of understanding to the Muslim world community.
Hundreds of thousands of people have died as a direct result of 9/11/2001, and most of them have been killed by Americans for Americans. And lest we
forget, al-Qa'ida's goals are primarily political swathed in religious guise... their rage is more closely related to our government's unwavering
support of the Isreali apartheid regime, dictatorial Arab regimes, and our general meddling in the Middle East far more than it is that they "hate our
freedoms" or are pissed because most Americans aren't Muslims.spyderdog - 9-11-2010 at 07:45 PM

exactly my pointJawnDiablo - 9-11-2010 at 08:47 PM
I'm one of the people who after watching numerous documentaries filled with evidence, believe that it was an inside job, pretty similar to the
Reichstag fire.
