If you want to see something, I recommend this:

Their video on the main page is a good inspiration. Their server is getting hammered though, so for smooth playback I suggest letting it load for several minutes before you begin watching.

I don't really watch TV, and honestly if I see anything 9/11 related I'll just change the channel. I couldn't care less about the wall street types that inhabited those towers. I only feel bad for the firemen and emergency workers. And I already cried my tears over them in the past.

I am not depressed. I'm actually in a pretty good mood today. Why must remembering the lives of others be such a gloomy thing?

For what it's worth, I think over-attention to it is harmful as well. It tends to create emotions that are easily turned into hate and vengeance. 'Someone has to pay!'

More useful would be to remember that the people who did 9/11 wanted to create hate and war between the west and Muslims - so oppose them by not doing that.

Unfortunately, it's easy for media and politicians to use it for gain.

Obama is certainly doing his best to continue to wholesale slaughter of brown people.. but its OK, he's half-brown.

This is what you should be depressed about.

I wonder how much of that stuff on display is made in the USA and I wonder how many people will actually look before they buy?

I'm trying to remember the last post you made that did not reinforce that you are a despicable liar. I can't remember any.

It makes me wonder what's wrong with you. Too much right-wing media, perhaps? Mercury exposure? I'm curious, but I don't know a good way to find out.

How exactly is he a liar? America is still involved in multiple conflicts against brown people.

Sigh, really?

The accusation was that 'Obama is doing his best to wholesale slaughter brown people'.

That's the type of accusation to make against Hitler, and even Hitler was less interested in 'killing people' than in just trying to gain power for his regime.

Even the Jews, his first policy was to deport them, and only when Europe refused to take more did he implement his genocide (he was certainly willing to kill them).

Obama is winding down the war in Iraq; he's first escalating and then winding down the war in Afghanistan; and he's intervened to *prevent* a slaughter of brown people in Libya. He's doing more in war than most of his supporters want, not winding down as fast as they'd like, but the accusation is nothing but a lie.

Iraq has eliminated the vast majority of US forces and war. Afghanistan, a case can be made that his policy is attempting to *protect* 'brown people', where a murderous taliban return is expected if we leave now (though there's no clear guarantee that won't happen later when we leave). And the Libyan policy seems supported by the fact it would prevent a slaughter of 'brown people'.

He's a guy who opposed the candidates in the past who would NOT have started the Iraq war.

He doesn't deserve defending for his despicable lies about Obama.

Fuck dude this is the problem with America today. Those that attacked, attacked American's; they didn't have the jealousy that you do over someone pulling down an easy 7 figure+ income does.

We live in a Capitalist society. Someone has to man the french fries and sweep up and mow lawns ... etc.

Firemen and Emergency workers sign on for these kinds of things (although in today's world I question that with them being able to generate lawsuits and turn down 'going in' because it's too dangerous).

Your response above probably has quite a few terrorists laughing.

Seriously, Obama inherited this mess...I am thinking you are racist though at your core fundamental beliefs to use that arguement.
