Now I assure you there are a lot worse things in this world then September 11.

Natty Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 Can we please not have a repeat episode of the whole religion debate? The whole abusing and slagging each other off? I seriously doubt name calling is going to solve anything Mek, I agree, what the Americans did in retaliation I personally don't think was fair, however, what else could the Americans have done seriously? For weeks they asked the Taliban to hand over Bin Laden, they refused and in the end they paid the consequences, Afghanastan was warned, America wasn't, one day someone decides to fly some planes into some of Americas biggest and most noteable landmarks. Just remember, many lies were lost on September 11, just as many lives have been lost in the air strikes in retaliation. I have no doubt that if someone was to fly a plane into the Rialto Towers in Melbourne, or blowup the Sydney Harbour Bridge, then I have no doubt the Australian government would have done the same thing.

GandalfTheGrey Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 Even though I'm new to these forums. I believe everyone does have the right to speak whatever they want to BUT if the people don't like it your screwed. Example if a person says I love th us, the goverment official are like WE NEED MORE OF THESE PEOPLE. If another person says The US sucks let's trash the place I wish america would go to hell. The goverment official can kill them! Say whatever you want but be careful about what you say You can get your @$$ into serious trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natty Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 There's a difference between voicing your opinion and being abusive or being a jerk over the matter, something I learned when Mek and I had the argument over religion I was pretty horrid to him about some things, just as he was horrid to me- but at least we've finally sorted things out *hopefully* and can get to be friends blah blah blah blah, and since this whole episode with Mek, he's taught me a few things, and now I realize I definatly wasn't setting a good example to the rest of the mods, and since then I've been trying harder to set a better example, so thanx Mek You taught me a few things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally posted by Guybrush122 and i dont see why mods have to set the damn example....being a mod just means you're responsible enough to handle a situation....it doesnt mean we're mommy and daddy trying to set the example and do the good thing..... Okay, well let's say you mods are like the government. Let me tell you about a true story that happened quite recently: there was once a nice, peaceful forum. And the moderators were nice, and the members were nice (let's assume in the main). One day a member posted someone's personal details and the moderators didn't edit the post. They (the moderators) got sued and the forum was shut down forever. This is a true story. Why should forum members be punished for what the moderators did (or in this case didn't do)? It's the same thing, and I do believe that the action taken was fair (they didn't FORCE the forum to be closed, they sued the moderators who then found they had to close the forum). Now Darth Fellas hasn't posted anything here to reflect on what's in his profile, so until he does you do not have a solid basis to ban him. Let me give you another example, that happens all the time in courts. Now this affects the UK only. In the UK Sony seeked to sue a company distributing (not producing) PS2 MOD Chips. Now Sony had previously settled with 2 other companies, this was the first to go all the way through. The judge made a critical decision, he said that playing a PS2 game requires elements of the game to be copied to the console's memory. He then said that playing a PS2 game constitutes copying, and therefore stated that Sony's games were being copied to a console the games were not designed for, and not licensed for. Now Sony made them give the names and addresses of everyone they sold PS2 MOD chips to. But the most important thing is that this sets a precedent. DVD Zoning is practically the same thing, so if Hollywood wants to stop multizone players in the UK they will have no problems, whereas if Sony's case never existed then everything would need to be established for the first time. And if Sony was beaten then Hollywood would be beaten. Now I'm not saying that this isn't fair, but that precedent will work for Hollywood and against the community. =mek= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to live your life believing whatever you will, but please stop causing trouble on these forums! the attack really WAS the US' govt's fault, thats pretty much a FACT. Wot we r debating is wether or not, the attack was just. and Mek, the proofs you have shown r valid to prove that this sort of thing does happen, but it still doesnt explain y it can b considerated JUST. Bsides, in the examples uve shown (mainly in the 1st one) there r a few points that differ from the attack: 1-no 1 died (big, huh?) 2-they werent attacks, like sep11. They were mere INEVITABLE and INDEPENDENT CONSEQUENCES (quote: "they didn't FORCE the forum to be closed, they sued the moderators who then found they had to close the forum"). hope it is clear for u, cause honestly, its not very clear even to me... but your a smart guy, u ll understand wot i mean... right?

MtBlanc Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 Why did Osama Bin Laden target the World Trade Center? Because he wants to destroy the American way of life. In my opinion, he's just trying to destroy people for their given way of life. That's no better than killing blacks because of their skin color, or killing Buddhist monks because of their religious beliefs. It's prejudice, plain and simple. And perhaps prejudiced people won't see that. Fanaticism has got to stop. And that's all I want to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setion Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 I could respond with a message that would be considered a flame. So thus I think that instead of flameing Mek, we should all just pause a moment and reflect upon stupidity. Look at the picture Mek has choosen if it helps: <pause for two to five minutes> There? See? You didn't have to use the word fucking, shit, bitch, asshole, or dumbass! It was all said right there in your head. And for those of you who didn't quite seem to grasp what I am asking of you, I leave you with the following, all brought to you by Mek, and an stroke of genius if I might add. "I do not condone violence" "And I now see that the US deserved the attack." "A lot of good Americans died, which was a terrible loss. " "They asked for it by having no respect for anyone except themselves" "American government has now killed a lot more innocent civilians in Afganistan then Bin Laden's attacks" "The targets were all military buildings, so it's not quite as bad as blowing up civilian buildings or anything." "it's terrible, I know, but it's your government's fault. IT IS THEIR FAULT THIS ATTACK HAPPENED." "How did Jesus die? Aged 36-40, bare naked with nails driven through his wrists and ankles, humiliated in front of everyone and your worried about a building collapsing??" "The Bible does say that unless you repent of them you will pay for the sins of your parents (generational sin). So don't make it sound as if you know anything on the matter. " "According to the American actor/movie star Nick Cage ..." "And what's more is that I didn't say you were concerned with the building, a building collapsing means killing the people inside it. " "Peace, -Daniel" "well let's say you mods are like the government" "and the members were nice (let's assume in the main). One day a member posted someone's personal details and the moderators didn't edit the post. They (the moderators) got sued and the forum was shut down forever. This is a true story." "so until he does you do not have a solid basis to ban him. " "And if Sony was beaten then Hollywood would be beaten.

Natty Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 *cries* I could say something, but it's religion orientated and I don't wanna get into an argument, and if I do say it, I probably won't word it properly and it's not I'm blaming religion, but people do take religion way to seriously. (sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a bad way, such as this) In a newspaper article published in an Australian newspaper a few days after the attacks, it talked about why these people did what they did and so on. I remember posting it on the forums at the time, if I can find the post, I'll post a link to it, so you can see for yourselves. In response to the innocent civilians killed in Afghanastan, the Bush government did say they were going to target Al Quiada (spelling) buildings and airports and the boarder, basically so that it would limit the chance of Bin Laden escaping into Pakistan. I don't know how reliable the Bush government is, but if he's anything like the Australian government, then I'd say pretty dodgy The thing is, if what Bush says is true, then those civilians who were killed, it was purely an accident, however, with the case of flying planes into the WTC and Pentagon, that was deliberate, and their aim was to kill and destroy. You also notice that the hijackers planned it for a fairly busy time of day (probably lucky it wasn't the middle of the day otherwise more lives would have been lost) but with the US air strikes, when they bombed these buildings and so on, it was in the middle of the night, so the chances of killing someone were far less than what the terrorist attacks were. (If that makes sense) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmeat_X Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 I think it's horrible what happened, but it's even more horrible that some jerk with nothing to do uses it for some lame jokes, that aren't even funny. It's lame, it's offensive and completely insensetive. So if you ask me, I think he should be banned for that (not that we really need to do it, cause he never came back). If you put things like that in your profile, you either like to be seen as an idiot, or you like Bin Laden. If the second thing is true, you should really be put away in a prison, cause there is NO ****ING WAY you can ever like what he did. Allright, maybe the ppl in Afghanistan have a point for hating the USA, but that doesn't give him the right to kill thousands of innocent people! Of all the humans who died on XI-IX, there were maybe one or two who extually did something against Afghanistan. It was a complete unnecessairy act of violence, and whoever came up with it, should die. On the other hand, Amerika's reaction is also pretty sad. They attack one whole country, while they should go after the terrorists. Not everyone in Afghanistan is a terrorist, and not all terrorists live in Afghanistan. But instead of small, organised actions against a small group of ppl who are sure to be criminals, they bomb a whole country. It's the American way: overreacting. They know they are the most powerful country in the world, and do anything to prove it. Just think about the gulf war and the cold war. America is sometimes way too proud. Sad... OK I'm tired of typing now, so I'm not even gonna try to get my spelling right. But on a last point: can you laugh about what happened? If a comedian tells something about the attacks or about the Taliban, is it wrong if you laugh about it? Should the comedians get sued if they do? ...Whatever...

Al-back from the BigWhoop Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 ok, correct me if im wrong, but there r 2 main things that differ me from the rest of u guys: - it seems to me that im the only 1 that actually believes this is a peaceful discussion, not a pointless fight. - also, is it me, or am i the only 1 that has this point of view: The attacks werent because of religion, they werent ment to kill as many as they could, n it didn have a purpose (of course i dont agree w its means, but i kinda agree with its ends). The WTC represents the US rule over the world economy, and the Pentagon represents the US rule over other countries internal business. Even though Osama is a crazy mother****er, his point was: STOP MEDDLING INTO OTHER PPLS BUSINESS, BECAUSE YOU ARE VULNERABLE! wot im about to say now is gonna cost my life, mainly because most of u are from UK, or US: THE US IN THE 20th CENTURY IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING THE UK DID IN THE 19TH, WHICH WAS STICKING ITS NOSE EVERYWHERE!!! i ll show u some facts: -Guatemalas revolution was US´fault. -UK ruled africa, and they r the main reason to its poverty (together with Portugal and France) -In the 60s, Brazil´s president said he ddnt want the US industries in Brazil cause they were not obeyeing some brazilian laws. CIA entered the brazilian army, killed the president, and put dictatorship in brazil for 20 years, when they tortured ppl that went against the dictatorship. -They did similar in Chile, but many more died in there -In WWI, England entered the middle east and promissed fredom to whoever fought the Ottoman Empire. After the end of WWI, theire freedom delayed 20-30 years. They got their freedom only because France pressured England (of course, so england would lose power) - One of those countries was a Kwait, "accidentally" separeted from Iran. So, was Sadam Hussen really that evil? Or did the US make it seem because many US soldiers were killed in the Sandstorm war? (wot were they doing there anyways? oh, yeah, i forgot: oil!) -In 1888, slavery was abolished in Brazil, but slave ships only stopped arriving there only in 1892-3. The UK sank many of those ships from 1890-3, cause the brazilian products were costing 1/2 as much as the UK´s, and no 1 was buying theirs. -The US promissed the Philippines freedom from the Spanish, if they helped US in the war. They did, US won, and did not give their freedom. Instead US took over them. They only got their freedom after the US lost it to Japan. -In the Panama war, US paid Colombian generals to lead their armys into traps, so the US could keep Panama. The UK paid the Panama army to do the same thing, so THEY could keep Panama. Result: MANY ppl died. im not saying Osama is right, im saying he is as much pissed as 5 billion ppl in our little world.
