My stance on 9/11...
This was taken from my post at Got detention for laughing at 9/11Slideshow We got a banner! (the link should take you to the post. I decided to post it in here after getting so much feedback on it...something that never happens.

YoukaiTori
First off, I have to say that as much of an American I am, I can't help but feel that the U.S. is making too big of a deal out of 9/11. Now before you go off saying that I'm just not "patriotic", my father served in the military for over 20 years before retiring, meaning that I've been a military brat for most of my life. When 9/11 occured, I was attending a military school. I had friends in both areas who were affected by it (one person's parent worked in the Pentagon, others with family and friends). Needless to say I'm not completely heartless about the event.

Now, as tragic as an event as it was, you don't need to keep bringing the matter up in the way that they do. I mean, what person wants to see their loved one jump out of a building 50 times on the news? Show some respect!! Yes, I know you have nothing better to show, but good gosh! And we thought the "wardrobe malfunction" was bad enough! (Bad joke/pun.)

Now, a thing that I shall forever hate: capitalization.

Movies, shirts, coffee mugs, books, stickers...is there ANYTHING the haven't made this tragedy into? If you're going to do something like that, then make it FREE. Because you know where most of that money goes? To the greedy arses who make the products, that's who.

As for the movies...I refuse to see ANY of them. Books? Cross them off my "to read" list. Comics? Let us hope people will not resort to such childish acts to inform illiterate children (and adults) of this tragedy.


Sad thing is? Before Bush even finished up looking for the terrorists who did this, he decided to attack Iraq. So does he really care? I mean, Iraq who supposedly had "weapons of mass destruction" versus someone who already attacked our country... I think the latter wins that debate in my mind.

But that's another story.


Please, reply if you wish. I can take criticism, but no flames unless you've got an extremely good reason behind it.

Here are some feedbacks from the thread:

My god. I love you. I would make sex all over your face in a fit of being-next-to-a-smart-person lust if I was gay.


Wow. Thank you. I just kept seeing this topic and finally decided to make my point on the matter. So...I guess...thank you?

Here here.

YoukaiTori, I respect you already for this post. Many fine points of truth some should be reading here.


Thank you.

Again, I just needed to make my point. I know 9/11 was a tragedy and as much as I wish to say "forget about it and move on," it's just one of those things you are forced to remember. Though the way it's going about it just...aweful.

Mhm, I agree. YoukaiTori has a great head on her shoulders.


Oh my gosh. whee I never expected that post to get noticed so much (or quoted for that matter). I think I'll make a new post in my journal if that's the case...(though no one ever reads those things, but still...)

But thank you again. sweatdrop

I completely agree. Hearing about how they're making movies about 9/11 makes me sick. It's even worse that people go to see these movies.

A lot of people argue that going to see these movies is patriotic.

So what? I don't have any patriotism for refusing to see this movie? Really...I *might* if they didn't try to make a profit off of it. Seriously, the U.S. likes to use its tragedies to make a profit. It's sickening.

But thank you both for the comments.

Tori readig your 9/11 thing was quite interesting but you should of said the whole 9/11 thing was a scam to go to Iraq. Being in a millitary family you would agree on one thing. If planes are going out of course wouldn't the control tower warn and if not heed the warning then the Air Force take action to take those "terrorist" planes down?. Two from the direction the planes hit how in the hell the the World Trade Center implode? Three the towers was designed to witstand a high level of heat before the metals could even melt in which the explosion from the planes did not emulate tempetures high enough to effect the buildings but somehow it melted. Four, after the planes crashed there was another set of explosions that went off, pretty much C4's. Why were they around the towers? and lastly Someone out of the group make a killer profit and was paid well.

America is a great country but you have ******** morrons running it and I don't understand why you people are so afraid off them and let them do what they want. In all I will say what I've always say....America does not deserve to be a Super Power because the people running America are like children that's so trigger happy to kill another for oil.


Gosh...I wish I could recall what it was called... Something about communication troubles (Katrina, anyone?). While I'm not going to go out and say that there's a conspiracy (since there is no solid evidence), a lot of people are making a profit on things that are...I think dishonable is the word.

But alas, the greedy political arses of society (or America anyway).

Most people hate my opinion on 9/11. Despite how much people have to trust our government and believe in them. I think they're 100% responsible for 9/11, as in knew it was going to happen, when, where, who, etc, and did nothing about it. I have my reasons to believe this.

I'd have to agree mostly on your view, Kirei. While it has been reported that they knew what was happening WHILE it was happening, they claim that "miscommunication" was a key factor.

...How hard is it to call someone in the Twin Towers and be like "THERE'S AN F*ING PLANE HEADED TOWARDS YOU!! EVACUATE!!" (Maybe in not those words exactly...)

NOW aircrafts that depart from New York carrying our military overseas get fined for getting "too close" to the Statue of Liberty (true story). But no...when a plane is completely off course...we won't suspect a thing. Or, miscommunication.


Now my facts for that last part might be wrong, but right now I'm in a sour mood and too lazy to double check. What I said is true is true, but as for where the planes were originally headed...I forget.

Yeah, conveniantly like 20 someodd people were video taping the world trade center in the early morning.
AND, if you watch the video, you can see various explosions going off on various floors. And they conveniantly canceled ALL flights just for afew unnoticeable minutes except those that were in the "attacks". If you really think about the hole in the pentagon, it doesnt match up with the plane they said ran into it. The plane technically couldnt have flown that low without skidding into the grass, and the grass looked pretty untouched for a plane ramming into the building. Plus, theres no long side holes where the wings would have entered the building, and they didn't find any parts of a plane out in the lawn, just like 2 or 3 parts of a plane.
AND AND, inconveniantly, the black box was destroyed but the "terrorists" passports survived.

Have you ever watched Loose Change? If you haven't, you should, patriots shouldn't watch it though, it may offend them.


commentCommented on: Sat Sep 30, 2006 @ 01:48am
And in all of them, all you hear is "OH MY GOD!!!! OH MY GOD!!" And when you see those people jumping from the building, wouldn't you think to try and catch them? Like those giant trampolene things or even a bed sheet (comforter)? Anything to help break their fall and at least give them a chance to live?

But as for the black box...I swear, I think they have it, but they just don't want to release it. neutral I can understand to a degree, but...still.

As for the pentagon, there were SOME skid marks, but seriously, I would've freaken noticed a PLANE heading towards my office if I looked out my window and be like "O___O;; Da fook?"

Yeah, but not enough skids, the plane would have left some good damage to the grass. That was a large plane. And pentagon officials, who are well familiar with war and military stuff said it smelt more like explosives than plane fuel. On Loose Change, the play a phone conversation that was on the plane. It sounded fake. I can't remember it fully, but the guy supposedly called his mom and he was like "Hello mom, this is David Whatshisface(forgot his name), the planes about to crash. You believe me, don't you mom? You believe me, don't you mom?" in a very casual unemotional matter, like as if it were one of those voice imitation programs. The lady said she kept asking him stuff, but those lines are all that he said. They pointed out that he said his full name, now, honestly, you wouldn't state your full name to your parents. I'd be like "OMFG I LOVE YOU MOMMY!!! I'M SORRY FOR ALL THE BAD THINGS I'VE DONE I'LL MISS YOU!!!! I'LL BE LOOKING DOWN ON YOU GUYS!!!!!"
AND AND, NEVER in the history of time has there ever been a clear cell phone call from a plane. Yes, you get through, but its shitty reception, the lady said the phone call was clear as a phone call from your neighbor.

Its very clear I'm against the governments theory of 9/11 sweatdrop

Yeah...
