People overreacting on Twin Tower?

[AzureWolf]

Just a note: Generally as a rule ignore most of my serious posts
I generally have an aversion to faith in anything be it religion or patriotism so I naturally find some way to disagree with most of these. I still stand by my statements i made in the previous posts but again its only my 2c. And I dont mind to see people disagree with it I dont care its not going to change my opinion and im not trying to change others. So particually in any religious threads you see me post in I will be as pessimistic as possible because on a whole to me all religion is just an annoying waste of time and only leads to trouble. So if people are going left and right saying god bless this and god bless that and I get annoyed and blow up a bit at it ignore it cos im just letting off steam. I dont think I have done so yet but its good to have an advance warning

Well said, Donut. I have no idea why Liliara addressed that to me. I suspect she's mistaken someone's comment for mine.

Very good discussion going here, btw.

*cough*

Cloudy didn't say anything about sport...it was Dio.

You don't HAVE to spoil things by responding to me in an agressive fashion, Dragonmage!

What's the problem? I've just checked my posts, and all seems quite in order, if not everyone's cup of tea. If you don't agree with me, why not say so? It's a free country, n'est pas??

By the way, further to my arms comment above, ... I forgot to mention that the US is the world's largest exporters of arms, exporting four times as much as the dear old UK, which comes in second. Peace, purrrfect peace......

I'm sure there must be stats somewhere as to just who the arms went to. Although if your ruling lot are anything like ours, there's bound to have been a few cover ups when it comes to supplying certain parts of the world. Twouldn't do to look greedy or stupid......... now would it? Kind of cuts away the high moral ground that politicians prefer to stand upon, especially when there's war in the offing.

Originally posted by Moni: If the World Trade Center was based in Europe, Australia, Japan, or even the middle east, this tragedy would have been given just as much coverage on a world-wide level. It was not soley Americans who had interest there...it was the world. Many foreign countries had banks set up in that building...to think that this does not affect them on a financial as well as an emotional level is (politely) blind. There have been many acts on a lesser scale that have not gotten 24 hour coverage, but keep in mind that this was not a small scale attack, nor an attack on just Americans. International companies lost their businesses and the lives of potentially thousands of their people as well. It cannot even be compared to a car bombing outside any local government office in any country, Oklahoma City included. As a couple of examples, I do remember almost non-stop coverage for days on end when earthquakes nearly leveled Mexico City and India, killing tens of thousands in both incidents. This country did not turn a blind eye. Our corporations flew medical teams, medical supplies as well as food and water by the tons to help out. Natural tragedies and ones incited by terrorism are not separated by any level of importance...any tragedy on this scale that affects one country or the whole world get noticed.

I like what you said here. Thanks!
