I'm aware of the existence of this so called in-joke. I read something about it on the internets, or something else.
OP...yeah all this self indulgent 'wound licking' is beginning to get on my tits. The Americans need to stop raking up the past and move on - and tbh, in the grand scheme of things, it wasn't that tragic. I don't see any "RIP" articles/statuses to the 20,000 people that died in the Japanese tsunami (9/11 being the 6 month aniversary for that).
Some perspective is needed on the whole 9/11 issue. "New York's 9/11 is Gaza's 24/7". And I'll leave it with that.
The American govt., and by extension its people deserved 9/11. They used the Mujahideen, then dumped them over, creating a private army with no proper leadership. So it came and bit them back. Then, they being what they are, chose to attack oil-rich countries under the pretext of rightful justice. They are still doing it. Libya was all about Oil. Most of the merkin propaganda is bullshit.
Although as Individuals, I have my sympathies with those who died in that attack. Very few people deserve to die that way. May God give them peace.
Yes, and I think it's important to check carefully the roles of all the main "players"..there were some strange anomalies ... but ... we should better care more about 10-11
The deaths are still tragic, but the initial shock has long since departed, and relative to other disasters throughout the world, 9/11 was minor. Nationalism causes folks to attribute more significance to the loss of American life, while over in Iraq and other regions of the world, the death toll is staggeringly high and numbs the mind. For instance, imagine yourself as a young child in Somalia who has grown up around death and seen dozens, if not hundreds of human corpses before even reaching adulthood, while also knowing that tens of thousands of others in his country starve to death on a yearly basis.
I think he was hinting at prevention, rather than retrospective action. Innit.
It will be rememebered till the end of time so we better get used to caring...
From that convoluted logic I can only surmise that you weren't wearing your seatbelt when mummy smacked into the truck ?
It's going to be remembered so we'd better get used to caring....
Let's see, there was the spanish lady (the 1918 flu epidemic) estimates of between 20-50 million dead, interesting but no I don't particularly care, There was the eruption of Krakatoa and the Tsunami afterward (only 3,600 that time) again nope not a tear shed, The Honkeiko Colliery explosion 1,549 dead, nope still not caring.....
Glod works in mysterious ways.
As long as he's working and not behaving like the rest of the scrounging needy scum... I can forgive him being a mysterious cunt.
yeah i do.
Of course I still care. Why would anyone who mourned over thousands of deaths just suddenly one day up and not give a shit?
Lack of media attention (which there has been no shortage of), and more pressing concerns- such as the economy, or a new video game coming out.
How is your mourning the loss of Vietnam vets coming? Need something more recent... How about the victims of the Indonesian tsunami? Japan quakes? <-- Hint: they are still working on that one. :ermm:
Don't give up now, you've got A LOT of mourning to do. Burn some candles...or something else, Weepy!
