I watched a video on that today in my English class. It was terrible but the sight of those planes cutting through the World Trade Center was beautiful in such a bad way

I hope I wasn't the only one who watched the discovery channel about the battles in capturing iraq's major cities, because they were intense, and show how the marines were kicking ass amazingly. In one highlighting moment the marines pushed up several blocks into the night, and come the next morning the stupid terrorist completely underestimated the marines push so they marines opened up a 10000 gallon tank of whoop ass on em' by just letting the insurgents walk a little front of them where they then after lit em' up.

Yea, the terrorists weren't so smart. I remember at one point while I was over, a group of 7 or so terrorists were trying to sneak close to the base down an alley and we had a sniper watching. They had an RPG launcher and each had RPGs, so we told the sniper to take out ONLY the one with the RPG launcher. He did, then, another one of them picked it up, and he took that guy out. This happened a few more times will 1 guy was left. The last thing we heard the sniper say over the radio was "I don't believe it, he's going to pick-up the launcher... wait... He's backing away... That must be the smartest bastard in baghdad."

Although I do support any kind of moment of silence for 9/11, I feel that it is rather unneeded seeing as how we never have any moment of silences for any huge battles during WW I/II nor for even Pearl Harbor's date. We lost ~3000 U.S. Citizens in that attack. Yes, it was terrible. But so was losing the 2 million U.S. Soldiers that were killed in WWII. My point is, if we are going to make a topic and/or have a moment of silence for 9/11, we should do it every fucking day for the fact that the U.S. has countless battles where we lost thousands.

Difference is an attack on civilian buildings and and military base/military battles.
Those of us who have been in the Military know that we might be killed at almost any time, the CIVILIANS in the WTC did not know that, or make the choice to accept that...

I agree with the tonic man, but in any case, I'm glad nobody's yet used the word "tragedy" in this topic. To explain why, I have hired the services of Sarah Palin, who apparently moonlights as a necromancer. Go figure.
[!--quoteo(post=0:date=:name=George Carlin)--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE (George Carlin)[div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]Above all, I object to the abuse of the word tragedy. Every time some asshole stops breathing these days it's called a tragedy. The word has been devalued. You can't call every death a tragedy and expect the word to mean anything. For instance, multiple deaths do not automatically qualify as tragedies. Just because a man kills his wife and three kids, her lover, his lover, the baby-sitter, the mailman, the Amway lady, and the guy from Publisher's Clearing House and then blows his own brains out doesn't mean a tragedy has occurred. It's interesting. It's entertaining to read about. But it's not a tragedy.
The death of a child is also not automatically a tragedy. Some guy backing over his kid in the driveway is not a tragedy, it's a bad, bad mistake. A tragedy is a literary work in which the main character comes to ruin as a consequence of a moral weakness or a fatal flaw. Shakespeare wrote tragedies. A family of nine being wiped out when a train hits their camper is not a tragedy. It's called a traffic accident.
You wanna know what a tragedy is? A tragedy is when you see some fat bastard in the airport with pockmarks on his face and his belly hanging out, and he's with a woman who has bad teeth and multiple bruises, and that night he's gonna make her suck his dick. That's a tragedy. They don't mention that a lot on TV.[/quote]
He then goes off on a tangent about what else he dislikes about the media, but you get the point.

Actually his point is so good I think I'll start another topic about memorial day, because I want to start going on strike at work when I don't have it off by not showing up.
