Wow!Uber defensive and rude.
'It upsets me, so I speak up when I see a discrepancy.'
I saw one in your OP and called you on it.
On that note, it is the 1 year anniversary of the massacre in Las Vegas. Far less people killed mind you, & oh goodness!!! The sick perpetrator happened to be a white dude. Prick committed suicide so he wouldn't have to face justice.
That particular terrorist attack happened because of the US has it in their constitution that the average person on the street has the right to own a gun. At the time that was declared a right, the US was all frontier. I personally believe that right is long outdated, & most people would be far safer if guns were to become illegal (for the average American citizen).
Of course, as you well know, I am not an American citizen. I am Canadian, so I probably have no right to give my say in the matter.
I didn't make a discrepancy. All I did was pay tribute to the people who were murdered 17 years ago, last month.
NO.You out an out stated that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were The Most Horrifying Event Of The 21'St Century
Then you started all the back tracking bullshit and ended up being really nasty to me. Very non-Christian. You should be ashamed.
Further, by belittling other catastrophic international events in your inaccurate summary, you ended up not paying a meaningful tribute to anyone.
Well done you.
1. Reading this thread how do you think relatives and friends of the 9/11 attack feel that you place their loved ones death above those of others further away than 'your' North American centric world view?
2. Reading this thread how do you think that the relatives and friends of those other victims ( and there were SO many more) would feel that you valued their lives and deaths as less than the victims of 9/11?
3. You claim that no victims should ever be blamed. True. However it is wise, important and imperative that we look at such events in both cases and see what could have been done and should have been done to avoid such things in the future. In the case of 9/11 is was to NOT unilaterally place Western Christian beliefs above those of Muslim Middle Eastern States, invade them of the pretext of making them more acceptably 'Western/American'/or for oil or Western Power bocks...
killing their populations in the mean time as collateral damage and not respecting their religion
...and in the case of the tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanoes to have the very best warning technologies available and keep them operational with infrastructure that facilitates warnings.
Without being too simplistic, I wish the America had put more money into the latter and less into the former.
