Sorry everybody. I had a case of the mondays, came home, had a sixpack and hit the sack. I was way too hung over in the morning to have any idea what was going on until it was too late and GWB instituted that "no flight" rule. :(

I think superman COULD HAVE stopped what happened on 9/11. In fact, I'm pretty sure he COULD'VE if he existed.

If Superman really existed, there would never have been radical islamists, muchless islamists at all, as everyone would be worshipping Him.

The frequent use of that expression marks the death nail for the English language as we know it. I guess moaning about it is a mute point, but it's all water under the carpet if you know what I mean...

For all intensive purposes, he could of, but perhaps not should of. Superman wouldn't want the US to loose there War on Terror, as that would be to bad.

INTENTS AND PURPOSES. Explain to me what an intesive purpose is, please.

LOL. Do you mean it is a moot point, as in debatable, purely academic, or a mute point, as in the point cannot talk?

Did you not notice that he used of every time instead of have and he also used to instead of too, the entire sentence was intentional poor English, he also spelled lose as loose.

Yeh, but I just saw a moderator use mute point and jumped on it. Upon re-reading, I see what you have done. Clever :)

The thrid plane he might've caught alone with the one that crashed in the field (remeber that one too people?)

ah yes... but you forget his super hearing and super site.. he coulda heard a woman scream in an airplane at 30k feet 100 miles away!

I agree and I am calling for it to be locked. This is not a joking matter, not at all.

Grow up. :roll:


Almost 4000 people were killed that day and folks are cracking jokes. And a stupid dumb %&^%*&%*er like yourself has the gall to tell me to grow up. LOL Now you would be funny if you weren't so pathetic.

dude get the f0ck over it.. it was 5 years ago already.. let it go..
I swear I'm as much as a flagwaver as anyone.. but this is rediculous..

what about the 1000s of troops we have lost? huh what about the 1000s of people world wide that die in terror attacks YEARLY..
the US had 1 major event.. big deal the rest of the world deals with it every day.

count up the dead Isreali civilians over the last 50 years ( from terroist attacks and wars).. or the dead jews from WW2 alone..
makes that little 3k plus property damage seem insignificant..

get some prospective the US isnt the end of the Universe you know..

lighten up..
