I'm guilty!

Speaking of 'effective' political resolutions, anyone remember...

Oct. 3 1993?

By the way, I think I'm telepathically responsible for Sep. 11. When I still didn't know about the attacks, I clearly remember a thought flashing by in my mind about how the '11th was such a meaningless date and I wonder how people would remember it were it to go down in history...'. Which means that I am indeed the mastermind.

On the other hand, the OKC bombing had an anomalous aspect to it. How many white American guys have done plane hijackings, Olympic killings, bombings, and other terroristic actions?

How many Middle Eastern men have done those?

The few "anomalous" white guys does not excuse the far more numerous Middle Easterners, and vice versa.

Groups of White men beat gays to death, and attacked and threatened black men, women, and children. Does that give homosexual blacks the right to attack any white person they see? No sir. Plus there were *Gasp* Muslims that died in the 9/11 attacks too (my friend's dad for one), not just christians like so many people seem to be thinking right now.

Unfortunate, yes, but that's bigotry and racism, not terrorism. It justifies those people's closed minds and prejudices - not their political and ideological ideals.

And if you read my post, I said that neither side (white or Middle Eastern) justifies or excuses the other.

And....? People of all types died. This is irrelevant to what I am saying. Muslims will kill Muslims, just like everyone else kills people who are the same as they are.

I seem to have misinterpreted your post as a justification for racial profiling and stereotyping of Muslims.

I'm not insulting the day or the event. I'm insulting the grotesque bullshit that's come about afterwards.

What I like about this thread, Kthultu. (the grotesque bullshit as you so aptly put it)

Though truly in all aspects it was a tragedy...I am not denying that, but people need to MOVE on...and I'm not trying to be unsympathetic just serious.

In my book, it's best to hold the mass reflection off until five years have passed. Then, in addition to marking the time, we can mark what has happened because of it. Look back and reflect.
