Remembering 9/11
« on: September 10, 2020, 10:06:28 PM »
Let's observe a minute of silence for those who died in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.






Now, let's observe an hour of silence for the those who died in the US from Covid-19 ... the equivalent of more than 60 9/11 attacks.







Were you outraged, angered, appalled, hurt, devastated, maddened, or frightened by what happened on September 11 and sought revenge and justice on those who caused it? Are you 60 times as outraged, angered, appalled, hurt, devastated, maddened, or frightened by what is happening now and seek 60 times the revenge and justice on those who caused it?





Why not? Where is your outrage? Where is your anger? Where is your desire for revenge and justice?







If your country were experiencing the equivalent of a 9/11 attack every three days, would you be spending both days of last weekend playing golf?







Get outraged. Get angered. Get revenge. Get justice. Do your duty.

I remember it.  It was one of those days where I woke up earlier than I intended.  Had this nightmare lingering in my mind of children screaming.

Went to work.  This was back when we all didn't have instant information streaming into our eyeballs everywhere.  I heard something about an explosion at the world trade center.  An accident of some sort?  A bomb?  It was very hazy at first.  It took some time for it to become clear that this was a terrorist attack.  I think it was maybe later on in the day.

The people I knew from the east coast felt it quite a bit stronger than I did.  Every time I went anywhere it's all anyone was talking about.  The roads were empty and gasoline dropped to less than a dollar a gallon.

I remember worrying about the consequences of overreacting to this.  I also remember being very glad when I heard we were dispatching our fleets towards Afghanistan.

Man-made, schman-made. Irrelevant. None of those is the 3rd leading cause of death in the US, and can be drastically reduced -- essentially eliminated -- if you take immediate, decisive, direct action and don't wish that it will "magically go away."

Oh, like Trump trying to cut off international traffic
and him being clobbered by dems?

Now the senile puppet Biden is claiming he would have cured corona
because he doesn't know why.



Come On . . . Man !

I was the new hire. Sign Design/Engineer. Was there about three weeks.
People were restless that morning. I had a secluded office. No uninvited traffic. Something was wrong.
My favorite sales babe climbed the stairs to my office. A cube in the loft of the shop.

"some shit is happening."

I went downstairs into the bosses office. Turned on his TV and was stunned.






Roy finally shows up. Thoroughly pissed that I'm in his office.
Rightfully so.

I had already heard that his son had beat him to a pulp
a few months prior to me coming on board.

Roy had 'Little Man Syndrome.'
(show of hands, who thinks he bullied me twice? :))

While I was at his desk I perused his papers.

Oh, SHIT, divorce papers. Apparently he physically abused his wife.




He shows up later and freaks that I'm in his office watching coverage.


"I'M NOT PAYING YOU TO WATCH TV !"

(This is after he bounced a paycheck a week before.   ::))


"Gunna beat me like you beat your wife?", I tapped the papers.



I stayed until I realized he was going under.
It was 18 minutes away by bus and trolly.

Do you still believe the fairy tale of Islamic extremist with box cutters took over the planes? You are stupid if you do.

Unfortunately the covid numbers are completely bogus and simply a political stunt.

As for 9/11, it's not worth getting started on as no one really gives a shit about how terrible it really was here (not just the event itself, but the millions of deaths and completely destabilized regions that resulted)

LOL.   I take it you don't want to start up your holograpic planes and death rays from space theories.   I could use the light relief.

Just on a serious note,  what do you think would motivate the rest of the world to pretend to have hundred of thousands of people dying from the most deadly pandemic in recent history just as a political stunt to make Trump look bad? 

Fact check: The majority of the world couldn't give a flying fuck who the US president is or how corrupt he is. 

Stop gilding the pickle, you demisexual aromantic homoflexible snowflake.

Even more stupid if you don't.

In one instance it was a leatherman wave,  but who cares.  Trump loves the Taliban.  Your scumbag president is now setting Taliban killers free,  including one who killed Australian troops.
