I agree and disagree,(Score: 0) by AloneSoul(AloneSoul@hurting.com) on Sep 20, 2002 - 11:59 AM | You’ve gotta know that days like 9/11 bring out the good and bad in us. Our love and hate. Our companions and anger. Our sympathy and vengeance. We are only human and cannot push those feelings out of our heads.
Those people came to this country, worked with their blood and sweat to get what they got.
When America was attacked, they were happy. They live in this country, worked in this country, began to raise a family in this country but when a tragedy like 9/11 came they were ecstatic
It's hard to grasp the concept why if someone hates this country, they would come here and try to live a "normal" life.
They could have expressed their thoughts in another manner, there are many ways for people to do that while being protected by local/national government agencies. If they were afraid of the reaction from the public then I don’t understand how they could be smiling (with the radio on) that day with people looking right at them.
I agree, there is NO justice. It is a illusion. Money buys it and it is controlled by corrupt men.
I still agree with military action. Justice for the Taliban, (and all those terrorist organizations) in my eyes, is destroying those which threaten all people who have no reason to be attacked. It is for the safety of people. If we didn’t take action against them then who knows what would have happened in the future? How many more people would have died?
Bloodshed will never end as long as humans fail to express ourselves without weapons and try understanding. That will never happen. Even then, we always must carry arms for defense, not only for our nation but our planet.
Fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity, most of the time. Violence begets violence, yes, but sometimes violence is the answer when our lives are threatened by other men. Wars do solve some things and many times, they don’t. They bring more war, sometimes they stop that particular conflict with that country, forever it seems.
You’ve got to remember that it is in our nature to destroy ourselves.
Please know... If there is a draft and I am called to fight I, will drop my lifestyle and ship off. We cannot spit on the soldiers who lay down their lives in defense of ours.
I know politicians see this as a reason to take away our rights and invade the middle east for oil. They could have prevented 9/11 but didn't and I hope they too receive some kind of justice. I doubt it. This is why we, the public, need to take a stand and let the corrupt know that life is more than a number.
America is a imperialistic nation in ways but at the same time, our crusades for peace are sincere, we really do want to stop genocides in other countries, feed the hungry, spread a democracy in monarchism, but our thoughts and efforts go out in vain or give us the image of begin a imperialist nation...our corrupt politicians don’t help our appearance either, they gave us a terrible image. Our media gives off the impression that we are weakminded and gullible.
I am not a bigot, I do not wish any harm upon any people of a different faith, if we began that sort of national persecution with deportation, jailing and executing the innocent, we would be no better than the Nazis. Those terrorist idiots greatly wronged Muslims, Islam and the religion of peace and love. They see it as justification to kill.
Considering how we handled ourselves over the past year (for the most part), I say that we’ve done quite well. Yes, the incident in Florida does contradict my statement but those people were looking for trouble when saying (joking) they were going to take down or level Miami. This isn’t a time for jests on those scales. Also, those incidents aren’t a daily routine...I hope.
I am torn with you about good guys and bad guys. Unlike other animals, we can handle a greater level of complex thought. Our desires, our money, our corruption, our lust for power, we brought this upon ourselves...but sometimes, that doesn’t really mean anything. Some men and women enjoy real suffering and misery. Their only purpose is death and personal satisfaction without any cause. Again I say that it is in our nature to destroy ourselves but where do the bounds of good and evil come into play? There is good and evil in this world but are we being merely human, acting out good and evil or are we the lines that separate good and evil?
I cannot answer this without deeper thought.
I’m sorry buddy but my opinion stands. You brought up some very good and valid points that shouldn’t be ignored. |
