I’m curious, Beef, what was it you hoped to accomplish by posting that youtube link? Did you honestly think you could come onto a website largely used by US citizens, rub salt in one of the biggest wounds we’ve gotten lately, and no one would flame you for it? Maybe you were expecting something like:
“Gosh, Beef, I guess you’re right. I mean after all it’s only my (father, mother, son, daughter, wife, husband, relative, friend) that died. Thanks for showing us the light, Beef.”
Or the other reason. You posted that link because you wanted to piss people off, you wanted to cause pain, and you wanted to open old wounds. I think that might qualify you as a troll. I am professionally curious as to why you would want to do that, though. -Aaron

Wind you neck back in just a little, SGrim80. Don’t wish a travesty on an entire country just because of the statements of one very crass (I am REALLY trying not to name call here) person. I’d be willing to bet he would find few supporters of his opinion in Canada. -Aaron

Stop the self-pity bullshit. I’m embarrassed for you people. People die. It happens.
The day of 9/11 I saw the images on TV, shrugged with a “well, that was unexpected”, and went to work.

Inhumane . . I know, but we also have to look at the fact that we were programmed into a war killing innocent. Not the people responsible for 9.11

You are right. Last December 7th was overlooked by most.
Too many stupid and indifferent people in this world.
Damn that is awfull. I can’t express how it feels in words.
I’m from SA and still remember taking that day off school, and my mom waking me up telling me that a plane flew into the towers, I saw the 2nd one live. I’ll never forget it.
Makes me sick to my stomach, and that video brings it all right back.

FUCK YOU
AlbertaBeef…I can only shake my head at people like you. How would you feel if you somehow managed to survive something as cataclysmic as that only to find out later that day that your innocent friend had died.
And then what would you feel when you heard someone say, “oh well”?
Of course you can never know and if you’re lucky you never will you POS.
I’m a 9/11 survivor and am lucky to be alive. A good friend of mine was not so lucky.
I can’t believe it’s been 5 years already.

It’s unfortunate that you didn’t die in those towers on that day.
You have alot of growing up to do.

Hey Split - since you stated America sometimes does worse than 9-11 do me a favor and tell me when was the last time an American flew a jetliner into a 100%CIVILIAN target like that. How about the last time an American INTENTIONALLY targeted CIVILIANS on a scale like that? [/quote]
I don’t agree with Alberta Beef in any way, but this quote was a little off… how about the Atomic Bombs in Japan? Or the 40,000 Iraqi civilians dead?

The treaties of the Geneva Convention were signed after WWII, and have prohibited the targeting of civilians since then.
WWII, and basically all wars preceding it, were full of the absolute destruction of entire cities and sometimes, civilizations. So the bombings of Japan are sort of off-limits when discussing the “U.S. targeting civilians”.
Also, whatever your opinion on it is, the U.S. Military has never set out to target civilians in Iraq.
Collateral damage does occur, and it’s unfortunate to be sure, but the military states that all attacks and airstrikes are aimed at spots of military importance, not civilian.
I don’t mean to make the U.S. Military to sound all high and mighty innocent, because they’re surely not, but I don’t see them destroying massive sky scrapers full of 100% civilians.

It quickly gave me goosebumps and tears, and within a couple more seconds I felt rage envelop my person. Hypervigilance, like an evil twin, will control my soul for the rest of this day.
Never, never forget September 11.

You dd better that I did…
I remember where I was as well. I as at work and my crew and I were doing our morning Pt. We were playing bball at the local fitness center when one of the workers came in and told us about the first plane. We went out and looked at the tv, one of the guys said “looks like somebody is gonna have fun today”. Little did we know what was about to unfold in the next several hours. It was a very somber day at the fire station. We were locked down - no leaving except for emergency calls. It was that way for awhile. I work in one of the cities that the FBI raided. The “religious” center that was funding the whole thing…
It is a terrible thing…one I will remember forever.

I have discussed this in PM’s with some others and that example was brought up. It is a fair point-to a degree. They were civilians yes but the circumstances of being attacked first(Pearl Harbor) then choosing to level two civilian populations like that to END the conflict …well in my opinion it’s vastly different than “attacking” office workers like 9/11. Like others, I am not pretending the US is spotless, but destroying Nagasaki and Hiroshima during time of war - a war which Japan initiated no less - does not equate with the 9/11 attacks or some subway bombing or some other cowardly bullsht attack on innocent civilains in the name of religious intolerance. I stand by my earlier comments.
I had the privledge and I SAY PRIVLEDGE b/c i have no other way of explaining my gratitude, to have a personal tour of ground zero with just myself, my best friend, my dad, the man you set up the tour and a firefigter who was there on 9-11. It was in march after the attacks and I personally have never experienced such an emotional moment. I had been to the towers one of time in my young life the year before and to go back with two people who were there that day. Listen to their accounts of the day. Listen to them go name by name of their friends who went in the tower that day and never came out. all the spotlights lit the night and showed the immense hole that was all that remained of the towers. I have never felt so patriotic then hearing the two firefighters heroing tales of that day. this video just brought back all of those emotions. May all that didnt make it out rest in peace.

I am usually never at a loss for words when it comes to verbally attacking someone on here - but today this nutless candaian beef fuck has left me with nothing.
I can only surmise by the avatar he has next to his name, that he must have been beaten severely as a child whenever he would open his “insert-your-dick-please” mouth.
