We did, it's called imposing "democracy" on countries that don't have it, or may have it but don't suit policy, and it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.


Actually I was thinking more of a burnt earth strategy and leaving heads on stakes driven into the ground in front of each destroyed village as an example. Democracy isn't medieval enough.


Your wave of indignation was counted on by our government.

The whole crusade thing is amusing. War for Jesus? Murder for the Prince of Peace? You sound like those radical jihadist.

It is indeed sad that 3000 plus people died, but why are their lives any more important the lives loves lost in hundreds of other places in the world throughout history at the hands of other people?

Do you remember the date of Tiananmen Square?
Or the 100 days of the Rwandan Genocide?


I bet you don't celebrate anyone's birthday either do you? Because then, to be fair, you would have to celebrate everyone's birthday.

It must be hard living in your head.

I should imagine he celebrates the birthday of people he knows. He probably didn't know anyone killed in 9/11 however, and I think that's his point.

Just sayin'.


No, he's picking on the OP for not remembering people who died in other tragedies and only pointing out the one relevant to today.

Eugh, that is some black and white retarted morals you have going on there.

Who is this *they* and *we*?


they = moslems

we = everyone else


Its hard to tell if you are trolling or not, simply because of the sad fact that many people actually are that far gone.

"weak"? Poor usage of words. Thats like saying you were an idiot so you joined the army while most of us with some sort of intelligence stayed here and didn't police the world.

I'm guessing you were a marine with this attitude

*EDIT* Like to clear up I have nothing against people that "fight for our country" (we haven't done that in a long time). I just don't like this crap we deal with that none of these were "wars" just us policing other countries where we shouldn't be.




No, from the stuff you and others have been posting, "WEAK" is dead on.

Oh yeah, the day the US government used as a perfect excuse to invade a sovereign country of Iraq looking for WMDs that didnt exist, and killing 900,000 innocent Iraqi men, women and children in the process? Yeah, how could anyone forget Ugh

No... Much like me, hes probably pointing out that your tragedy you think everyone should stop still for, while other tragedies you ignore. I should imagine it's also pointing out that a lot more than 3000 people have been killed in other tragedies, but you don't expect everyone to stop and think about them.

How does fighting wars that we don't belong in make you strong? That makes you a ******* idiot..

*EDIT* And now the **** comes out.. You only served 1 year tho? You do realize that that war is still going on, so is Afghanistan, so is soon to be Syria (we'll have boots on the ground), and whatever other place we are INVADING, but you only did 1 year? Couldn't handle it? Maybe you aren't as strong as you say you are. Pussy..

What language are you using? Because it's certainly not English.

You two must be the ones that break that "moment of silence" when it is asked for to yell out, "Hey other people died too!"

If you want to remember other tragedies, start a thread on those days. I promise not to **** up your thread if you can be a decent person hold your breath in this one.

Exactly, not to sound harsh but: EVE is an Icelandic game and the playerbase comes from ALL over the world.
9/11 was 12 years ago, and while it was a tragedy, you have to understand that for countries that are not America, having people point out what a tragedy this particular event was despite there being many like it makes the American people come off as a bit self centered to the rest of the world.

Again, Im not anti American, this is just an honest observation.

Most of the replies in this thread to my simple statement of facts indeed proves me right. You are all sympathizers with the enemy, yet once the enemy takes over you will be treated just the same as everyone else because no matter what sympathy you have for them they will still consider you an infidel and a non-believer.

I always forget about this until someone reminds me. It's 10:24pm in Australia and I've managed to go the entire day without hearing anything about it until now. A day I'd rather forget, to be honest. This tragedy, while no less a tragedy, was used as an excuse by your government to drag Australia into a war (invoking the ANZUS treaty and threatening the Free Trade Agreement if we didn't go) that nobody here wanted and got a very good friend of mine killed. I still remember a caricature in the newspaper of our Prime Minister at the time, John Howard, wearing a bullring through his nose and Bush pulling him around by a chain. It was fitting, and also remarkably accurate.

Not to belittle the lives lost in the tragedy, but I think war belittles everything just fine all by itself. It's a shame that there was little alternative other than military action. However, while I freely admit that I hate what this day sparked and have a personal problem with it, and still firmly believe we played right into the hands of terrorists by implementing such freedom-restricting security measures as a result, I can't think of any alternative that would have gotten the same result and I won't say the right thing was done in response, but I will say we did the best thing we could have done with the information we had at the time. Unfortunately, hindsight is always waiting to play its hand.


Thank u for reminding us never to invite u pussies to anything... We were tasked with making sure this never happened again, and if u were going to pin point the root causes, instability in the region, unemployment, religious fanaticism,, then Iraq was key to us drying up that cesspool.

Erm no, not quite. I observe a silence when a silence is due. I just don't agree with every 9/11 having to see posts and articles everywhere with Americans demanding we remember them. Not only do you blatantly ignore other far worse tragedies throughout history, you were in fact the cause of several. If you want to go to a US forum and all observe silence, feel free, but don't expect a global community to join in willingly just because you think you're more important than everyone else.

Belive me, Americans want to turn their back on the rest of the worlds as bad as everyone wants them to. We are sick of helping you. We are sick of the complaining and direspect. We do not want to go to Syria. We don't care what happens to them. We are sick of bailing everyone out. No other countries really want to stick up for eachother so we end up getting stuck with it. But I still remember my people who died 9/11 and wanted to show them respect.
