What is up with americans priorities? Who cares about 9/11??
 
Why are you all still weeping and moaning about 9/11?

Sure, 3,000 deaths is tragic, but why are you so over the top about it? 500,000 americans died of cancer just last year, and you're moaning about 3000 deaths 5 years ago?

Why not get over yourselves, rework your priorities, and declare a war on cancer, rather than a war on terror? You'd save a LOT more lives and heartache. I guess you'll never do that though, because while you'd save a lot more lives by fighting cancer with the same zeal, you wouldn't get to kill any more arabs.

what about accidental gun deaths?
and suicide?
what about heart disease?

Come on... I think needless terrorism is a little different.

a true peice of shit

Hooligan 09-11-2006 06:11 AM

maybe if cancer killed all those people at once in dramatic fashion we'd join together to fight it. but since it's not very dramatic, and the deaths are all spread out and boring and crap, no one cares.

I don;t see anyone whining about the 200,000 people who died in the flood anymore

Another good point.

No, it's not that.

See, a war on cancer doesn't involve killing brown people with multi-million dollar missiles. Where's the fun in that?

onlike the shithole you live in, we can and do do more than one thing at a time.
what country are you from again and what exactly has it ever accomplished again?

Barefootsies 09-11-2006 06:42 AM

While there is a lot of points to be made on both sides of the coin. I'll sum it up.

A lot of the media companies are based out of New York. Not Louisiana.

Just like when the power went out in NY a few years back you would have thought it ONLY went out in NY. They barely mentioned all of the states to the west as far as SW MI, and WI.

When something happens in GA, NY, CA.. or whereever a significant media presence is, you are always going to get media coverage to the point of, "Oh the humanity".

But when something happens outside of those areas, you will get the occasional 2 minute cut scene between their 58 minutes of the Holloway story.

:disgust

Maybe if arabs owned the tobacco companies we'd take a closer look. :ak47:

or it could be that 9/11 changed the world and hurricanes happen every year.

Scootermuze 09-11-2006 07:15 AM

As far as cancer.. it's been a way of life thanks to the pharm companies..

As for Katrina.. It was one of Bush's embarassing moments, so it kinda got shoved to the side..

As for 9/11.. It's still needed to remind people of why we are still fighting a senseless war.. which will probably become an even bigger embarassing moment..

What has YOUR country ever acomplished aside from waging war on everyone else?

In case you're too dumb to understand, you got attacked because your country wouldn't mind it's own damn business.

My country willingly disposed of all nuclear weapons many years ago. How many terrorist acts we've had since then? 0. On the other hand, It's fucking hilarious seing americans traveling abroad, put canadian flag stickers on their luggage :1orglaugh

crockett 09-11-2006 07:26 AM

You're a fucking idiot

Boobs 09-11-2006 07:33 AM

StuartD 09-11-2006 07:35 AM

Fear of cancer doesn't give you the control you need to jack oil prices and take away personal freedoms.

terrorism has to do with having nuclear weapons? haha ok. you live in the shadow of a powerful nieghbor, you don't need to defend yourself. if you were attacked, we'd bail you out.

which is why when your dopey news reporters found the ONE American who did it, played it over and over and over.

its ok to be irrelevant on the world stage, another to disparage those who ARE on it.

BlackCrayon 09-11-2006 08:22 AM

its the media fear machine, it needs food.
