But still, most of the victims were completely innocent...

Nah, we (Westerners) brought our civilisation there. In his retarded mind it's like we started a war. His reading of the Koran says every one should always live as in the prophet's time (7th century). In his eyes that was blasphemy by us (I know how ridiculous or pathetic it is, but that was his approach).
That's where Bin Laden was a huge hypocrite, by the way. In his youth he quite enjoyed our style of life. Even when in Pakistan, he kept drinking litres of Coca Cola. |

The Iraqi and Afghan citizens also didn't want a war. They got killed too, and they were with far more people than those 3000 Americans.
Another one:
In 2008, every day 24.000 people died of famine.
90% of them die of chronical undernourishment.
Yeah, sorry for getting this discussion back |

Okay. So we will sit around and wait for it to happen again? We take action, problem?
Sorry we like to memorialize the people who died in a terrorist attack. Okay? Just drop it.

No, that's okay, but what happened after it just isn't correct And remember that there are far more important other things going on in the third world (like I said, hunger in Africa etc.)
That's just my point, I'll leave it here |

Can you name a better solution?
So in your view, nuclear bomb and mass murder was the best solution.
Hope you don't get a position of power some day!

But, you don't (seem to) care about other people who died in terrorists attacks before (be it in the US or not), or after. Neither do you (seem to) care about people who die in circumstances that are equally atrocious but are not terrorism.
That's why I don't feel comfortable with tribute topics or messages popping up every year. Plus it rarely seems to get anywhere. It looks like a collective mourning stuck on that very day, and it doesn't really lead to more interesting questions such as "how in the world did we get there ?" or "what should be done so that it doesn't happen again ?".
Feel free to answer in the other topic if this one is not the most appropriated. |

It's very weird to see the pictures of him having fun in London with his son, buying his kid Arsenal jerseys at Highbury, etc.

Can`t add anything more.
It`s so weird to see some people claim what is right and what is wrong but not realising that it actually goes into the same direction. |

My PED's paper scored me a 100% Good way to start the year.
BTW: I was definitely trying to start a conversation that doesn't have to do with war.

Congrats!
My tests are going to start showing up in the next week. I hate how all the tests some how all end up around the same week, oh well that's college life. Time for the all-nighters.
Team Gilbert look here! Your next clue is: Tweet Tweet
