Post by: Apache on May 03, 2002, 11:57:25 AM: Thanks ripsnort, my friend.

I have never, really, been able to deal with 9/11. My dad entered the hospital on the 10th for some "tests". He was still there on 9/11 when these tests didn't go well, thus I was watching the horror from a hospital waiting room. He died 12 days later. :(

I still grieve for him and the lost souls of 9/11.

One day.

Man that's so true. Last November I thought I was over the grief and only had anger left. Then the weekend before Thanksgiving my best friend at work died of an anurism. One day you buy a guy lunch at work and the next day he's dead. The one unexpected thing that happened to me was the even greater backlash of grief for 9/11. I guess it just put it into perspective for me how much suffering and misery was caused on that day.

:(

Post by: Sandman on May 03, 2002, 12:53:57 PM: Lest we forget... gimme a gawdamn break. We've usurped the government in Afganistan and now were 5 months into the bug hunt with no end in sight.

Of course... we could spend the rest of our lives lamenting the loss of a few citizens, but what does it really accomplish?

Not a gawdamn thing. Other than giving Bush more time to use the U.S. military without sanction from the Legislative branch of the government.

Hell... We all know that Bush is just using this to forward his own whacked out agenda of continued American domination.

besides...

It's Stanley Cup Playoff season!

The level of disrespect for the thousands of lives in his post does not deserve response. Hopefuly his conscience will take over.

Go back to sept 11th on these forums and read for an hour or so. I just did, it brought a lot of stuff back.

Post by: Maverick on May 03, 2002, 02:43:29 PM: Some people here have lost sight of the fact that this is a major conflict that will take time and cost lives. Lives have already been taken by cowards who chose to use the helpless to kill the defenseless.

People using this situation to make an attempt at weak humor is indefensible and shows how immature they are. Those that support the attempt are no better and deserve only scorn and to be ignored as the refuse they are. I have other words for them but would rather refrain at this time.

Unlike those who think this is a funny situation deserving only to be ridiculed, I have put my life on the line many times and understand the frailty of life and how easily it can be taken away. I understand the sacrifice made by those trying to help and the loss of those whose loved ones will never come home because of the cowardly actions of two legged animals.

Post by: Sikboy on May 03, 2002, 03:50:46 PM: I would say yes.

But the assertation that you and I and others are laughing at the September 11th attacks could easily be a counter troll... so I'm not sure.
