Question for AMAI |
Lead | |
|
Hey AMAI, how do you feel about the 9/11 attacks now? Do you still have the same warped viewpoint as you did back then?

For those that weren't here, what was her warped viewpoint back then?

Wait for her to explain, I refuse to put words in her mouth. Especially when it's been shown that her foot is permanently stationed there.

Also would you mind sharing some of your exhilerating literature with us?

... OK, that was kinda mean. Seriously, AMAI, I would like to know if your opinion has changed these past years. |

The 9/11 terrorists had absolutely no right to crash those planes onto U.S. soil. May their souls regret it.
Nevertheless, my thought today is that the "war on terrorism" is being fought completely backwards. Why are we fighting them using conventional warmongering strategies? The correct strategy is to sever economic ties and put them on ignore. Why haven't we simply severed economic ties with them, completely and utterly? |

So do you admit that you may have been SLIGHTLY out of line and batshit crazy for saying that America deserved it, then? Or are you just back-peddling?

Religious people are batshit crazy. How is your reading comprehension these days, Eury? Are you able to deal with the complex thought that religious crackpots
DO believe that America deserved it, and/or earned it, by their behavior towards other countries? I am not a crackpot religious person. I am one of those few
atheists who also embraces individual rights. I reject the government by taxation which 99% of the Earth's population has erroneously embraced as the
"only" way to keep civilization alive.
I was at the time trying to come to grips with how 9/11 could have happened, and how others around the world view the U.S. and rationalize the act of terrorism in their own minds. I do not share that view. |

I understand perfectly the negative "us vs. them" mentality that extremists have regarding America. I also believe that they're using their
religion as a crutch -- without it, they would still find a way to make it "us vs. them". That being said, you are backpeddling. You were not trying
to understand how it could have happened; you were gleefully pointing fingers, posting thoughtless, crazy shit about how America had it coming during a time
when mostly sentient, not-so batshit crazy beings were trying to deal with the enormity of changed lives, changed policies.

Wasn't there some batshit crazy poster named krazyswimmer or something, too?
GAH. I remember wanting to punch someone...anyone in the face. |

I'm sorry if that's how you interpreted whatever it was I posted. Were you evacuated from your place of business on that day??? I was. I'm sorry if
I didn't behave in a way to suit you, Eury, but my workplace was considered too close to a possible target for terrorist activity and we were all told to
go straight home, away from the downtown core.
it was certainly not from some kind of glee that I was posting the way I was, I can assure you. |

So are we playing the "how were YOU personally affected" game now? I have a WTC bracelet, too!
Seriously, you've got to be kidding. Disregarding your sense of glee (since you won't cop to that, fine), can you at least admit that what you posted was senseless, riddled with flammatory idiocy? |

AMAI, remember Eury is stuck in the her judgement of people that she had 5 years ago with even less reading comprehension now than she had then. No need to
argue with someone stuck in the past who lacks the capacity to embrace new thought or new realization. She believes what she believes and is concrete in her
defense of the past whether complete in understanding or not.
