I think I need a total news blackout this weekend. I don’t have tv. So it just means no news on the net. I can’t take this stuff.
As will I. I will spend my time watching my copy of “Band of Brothers”. Somehow that always helps.
I agree. I want to duck this whole anniversary. My husband & I, however, went to the budget movie tonight to see Monte Carlo instead of the wall to wall 9/11 coverage. It turned out to be the dumbest movie ever. We walked out and they gave us free passes to see a different movie in a couple of weeks.
While we haven't been able to rebuild after ten years and are dickering about whether to let a Mosque be built on the site to further humble America, those who celebrate the attack are planning more ...praying to their Allah for more blood to be shed and infidels to die.
Anyone remember this kind of hype 5 years ago?
Oops, that would have been while we had a REPUBLICAN president.
I have had enough of the politicizing for the benefit of Hussein and his terrorist buddies.
God bless those people,,, but screw this damned Brit writer.
He says;
“But there are other, more complicated, reasons. In the aftermath of this attack on America’s sovereign territory — a period of intense patriotism — some considered that to choose to die rather than be killed showed a lack of courage.
And in this country of intense religious fervour, many believe that to be a ‘jumper’ was to choose suicide rather than accept the fate of God — and suicide in whatever circumstances is considered shameful or, indeed, a sin that will send you to Hell.”
I have NEVER heard anyone,,,EVER call them unpatriotic, or shameful, sinful for jumping, or Hellbound.
This article is a stinking pile of crap.
I defy ANYONE to stand fast in the presence of a 1000 degree fire. Find me a single person who can stand directly on a 500 degree cast iron skillet,,,WTC was **twice** that. In WWI pilots routinely jumped from burning planes before parachutes were carried.
It wasn’t some Zen-like empowerment decision to choose death in the way they wanted.
It wasn’t *pretty intense heat* or *a lot of smoke*.
It was a blast furnace,, floors reaching 500, 600, 700 degrees. It was nearly literally burning alive. It was NO air,, none. It was mass murder by the Islamic religion that Britons are so in love with.
How dare this British ba$tard imply that it was any form of a choice? And i defy him to provide an example of anyone in America publically calling them “unpatriotic”.
I call BS on his claims.
In 9/11,,, this Brit finds that AMERICANS brought religious fervor into the equation. The A-hole,,,
I don’t even try to watch the 9/11 stuff anymore. I;ve remembered enough.
I have the the entire Robotech series and will watch that instead.
Spend time watching the U.S. Open on CBS and then encore presentations on the Tennis Channel...should keep your mind occupied, as it surely will do mine.
I think I need a total news blackout this weekend. I don’t have tv. So it just means no news on the net. I can’t take this stuff.I agree with you.
Although I never blackout FR.
This weekend, like most weekends, the only news I will get will be from FR. And I will avoid some stories.
This one is already very hard to read. It makes me physically ill.
Personally, if the flames were at my “door”....I probably would have thought at least I had 1/2 a chance at survival if I jumped.
Only they and God knows what they went through.....and it certainly wasn’t suicide. It was murder, plain and simple.
Personally, I’d like to spend the weekend watching breaking news stories about mushroom clouds spotted over Mecca, Riyad, Peshawar, Kabul, Tehran, Cairo, Tripoli and any of the other Muslim stronghold cities.
We are going to end up in a global conflagration with Muslims at some point in the future anyway.
