These just off the top of my head. Sure there are more but you get my drift.
"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect,"
London got bombed on 7/7/2005. Not on the same scale of course.
It was in '39-'40 and the yanks refused to commit
That's why 'getting what's coming' is written the way it is.
Ok, no real responses, let's see if I can state my opinion without being labeled as a baby-killer by certain sections of this board - - -
I am proposing that the reason this event had such a devastating effect in the American psyche is simply because it happened on US soil. A quick look at the last 100 years shows where the wars/attacks/police actions were played out . . . the US involved - for whatever reasons:
WW I
WW II (yes, Hawaii copped a bombing)
Korea
Vietnam
Iraq (Bush sr)
Sudan
Iraq (Bush jr)
Afghanistan
(Then the little ones in Panama etc . . .)
Battles and wars where the US lost many more soldiers/people than 9/11, but the scars of the attack in NY run deeper in the American psyche and has dictated the political direction as 'the end justifying the means'.
Point being that the US sends its forces (again for many reasons) overseas to fight, recently for a bizarre concept called 'democracy' which needs to be brought to societies that have never had it, nor are ready for it.
I am guessing that the above may be a reason for some quarters to have celebrated the attacks. I can only guess because nothing justifies the loss of innnocent lives, be it 9/11 New York and DC nor Baghdad, Kabul etc . . . Anyone who would like to use this thread to suggest otehrwise for their feeble reasons of a lack of ability to discuss issues intelligently can simply get fukked.
The unquestioned loyalty and support for Israel (please try to nail me on this as I am a great believer in the right for Israel to exist in peace and spent time on a kibbutz) is clearly a thorn in the side for not only Palestinians but for the region as a whole.
The conspiracy theories that the US os led by the Great Jewish Conspiracy ( Hi Jesus Jones! )
they DEFINITELY had it coming.
i do not have any time for the moslems, and do not condone what they did:-i think their religious fanaticism is dangerous, and an abberation and they dress funny and all that, BUT
the yanks were warned, could easily avoid any moslem shit if they did only one thing: stay the fuck off moslem soil!!
i know this is a very simplistic viewpoint, and that there are huge issues, plus reasons the americans need to interfere in the moslem world, but then they should expect retaliation.
why not just be honest:
"we need oil, saddam has pissed us off, and we want iraq's oil supply, and we will go there and fukkin take it, coz we CAN!
Bush would have got my respect, had he done that, instead of using the lame excuses about osama bin laden, saddam being a twat, etc,to justify the gulf war
if you want to/need to kick moslem arse, just do it! but don't squeal when they fight back!
When someone puts something out there it always comes back at you!
Expect a few on Teak Door wouldn't be surprised (one day) and to have an irate fellow poster tap them on the shoulder and wack them on the nose and after they have "put out there" a particularly nasty and personal post!
I'll have you for that you cnut.Originally Posted by Loy Toy
Lankmark/Icon status maybe. How dare you is a good guess. Don't ever mess with our money can't be too far off. (For people of NYC) It wasn't a TV show this time. For the warmongers, a perfect goal in overtime!Battles and wars where the US lost many more soldiers/people than 9/11, but the scars of the attack in NY run deeper in the American psyche and has dictated the political direction as 'the end justifying the means'.
It's probably because the people were convinced that America was impenitarible due to their technical know how. Similar thing to the French and 'The Maginot Line'. All the knowledge the US has and it takes half a dozen camel shaggers to bring it to it's knees. US get over it.Originally Posted by panama hat
Seriously though, I doubt it. For all the ranting and raving I see TD as a place where people who are sometimes isolated, through choice or force of circumstance, to interact, vent, explode, or just rip the shit out of fellow TDers who want to do the same.Originally Posted by Loy Toy
I find it hard to believe that it'd go beyond that.
OK obvious exceptions being Galt and Wilde.
Other than that though, no.
Have there been any "extra IT" confrontations in the history of TD? I don't know.
Sad if there were.
Nope, I'm too short, you'd miss.Originally Posted by Loy Toy
Guaranteed, she's a sight when she goes.Originally Posted by Loy Toy
Many thanks, from both of us.Originally Posted by Loy Toy
No the US didn't deserve 911, nor UK or Spain theirs, and for that matter can't see that any of Allah's victims deserve anything that civilised nations have been cursed with for pussyfooting with the scourge.
Easy for armchair pundits to prosecute the person who's set alight, rather than the arsonist.

Deserved? Nobody deserves this. 'have it coming' - absolutely.
Sure, meddling in others affairs does have consequences, specially if accompanied by the kind of talk I have witnessed by Americans on the net.
They were also warned prior to Pearl Harbour. Arrogance springs to mind.Originally Posted by tsicar
Were the top brass caught unawares at Pearl Harbour? I don't think so...hindsight is fine for putting together the clues, but PH may have been just the sort of catalyst they wanted/needed to squash the yellow menace.
...and now its the 'peacelovers' who are evil and need to be "squashed". There still are people who believe the propaganda...
Course one could take opposite view point that radical muslims brought it on themselves for being twats!!!
i do not believe that, would be happy to see the camelshaggers destroyed- just need to be honest about it!
if you are going to beat the crap out of a country for your own gains, why try make excuses for it? ...just fukkin do it!
if you start a fight, and get a bloody nose,: get up and fight back, or admit defeat!
bottom line is:
just fukkn be honest about what you are doing! that way you will end up with supporters and detractors from all sides, and you will know how you stand in the grand scheme of things.
no need for bullshit....ever!
