9/11 Jokes

Undertoad · 12-26-2008, 02:51 PM

Guys, why not just go the extra step and become Truthers?

First attack on American soil? The alteration of the skyline of New York Fuckin' City? People leaping from the 100th floor? No, that isn't tragic at all! Because it was all faked!

Media and government acting in unison? From whose workbench? Give me the number of the fax machine that gave them their daily talking points, and then tell me who used it.

The reason the response was what it was, is because that was and is the character of the people. When media and government are in unison, it's because the people are in unison. But 7 short years later, nobody can recall that time; we have wiped it from our memories. When W. had a 91% approval rating. When people flew a flag proudly and haters didn't feel ironic about it. It's a period of history that simply we do not acknowledge because we were not ready for a post-9/11 world.

And that is why it'll happen again.

Why does it have to be conspiracy? Why can't the media drive for the big story and the government drive to "solve" big problems both push in the same direction? Over-reaction is why terrorists do what they do. bin Laden types get big press and new recruits. That is why it will happen again.

First attack on American soil? Leave Pancho Villa out of this.

The alteration of the skyline of New York Fuckin' City? We have fires every day.

People leaping from the 100th floor? No, that isn't tragic at all! It was tragic, nobody here is denying that. Unfortunately, bad things happen every day, this time it happened to Americans instead of Japanese, Germans, or Iraqis.

It also shattered the feeling of invincibility that most American's had prior to that day.

We were not feeling invincible during Vietnam but instead of laying down we took a shot at the moon. I've never seen America as invincible, but I've always seen her as resilient.
