This is so horrible.
All those people. Dead.
My sister's fiance's mother works for AA, and flies a lot to Boston. If today hadn't been her day off, she would have been dead.
I also have a second cousin (my mom's cousin?) who lives in NY. We tried to call her. The phones are dead, though. She could be, as well.
I had an argument with someone who I highly respected as an intelligent individual. He is convinced that this is all based on conspiracy. Sure, it's a feasable argument, but I couldn't help but totally disagree. I'll share the IM with you:
lkj0t: dont be fooled, there was most likely a very pertinent reason
RofltheMao: yes, theres a reason, sorry. theyre mad because were helping their enemies.
lkj0t: could be something else.
lkj0t: you dont know
RofltheMao: what does it matter? is it right to do something so heartless?
lkj0t: no
RofltheMao: its possible the US could have done something bad to them, but that would have been on the news as well.
lkj0t: probably not.
RofltheMao: then what pertinent reason could they have had?
lkj0t: lots of **** goes around that we are oblivious to
lkj0t: my mind cannot either fathom the possibilities
RofltheMao: uh, we have reporters in the middle east.
lkj0t: and?
RofltheMao: anything that could have made them so upset to do this in revenge of something we did to them, the reporters would have reported.
lkj0t: there is nothing to suggest this was even from the middle easy
lkj0t: t
RofltheMao: you mean besides the video tapes of them dancing in celebration on their streets?
lkj0t: corporations own the govt
lkj0t: which own the media
lkj0t: that means nothing.
RofltheMao: this isnt some ****ing conspiracy.
lkj0t: oh
lkj0t: because the facts are so plainly laid out for you by the media?
lkj0t: sry i forgot.
RofltheMao: no
RofltheMao: i think im smart enough to be able to differenciate the truth between a set up
lkj0t: yea?
lkj0t: open your eyes man.
RofltheMao: yeah, sorry, this is all one big conspiracy. i mean, its obvious.
RofltheMao: the US killed thousands of their people, covered it up, and they simply hijacked four planes and killed thousands of our people in revenge.
RofltheMao: it could very well happen, but it simply cant be the case.
lkj0t: RofltheMao: i think im smart enough to be able to differenciate the truth between a set up
RofltheMao: i dont care how corrupt the government is, they dont hide something that causes the demise of thousands of their ****ing people.
lkj0t: i guess
lkj0t: im sure it would be much simpler than that.
RofltheMao: how so, sherlock?
lkj0t:
how so?
RofltheMao: how would it be so much simpler
lkj0t: i mean, i doubt it would be the 'demise of thousands'
lkj0t: but perhaps the perpetual decline, abuse, mistreatment, and bullying
RofltheMao: what do you think happened today? a few things blew up and the people happily flew off with their magic wings to safety?
RofltheMao: 50 thousand people work in the twin towers
lkj0t: i havent felt any effects
lkj0t: i dont know what to tell you
RofltheMao: another 23 thousand work at the pentigon
lkj0t: stop trying to be so righteous.
lkj0t: its not becomming
RofltheMao: im not trying to be anything.
lkj0t: ok, stop being so righteous
RofltheMao: i dont usually get worked up like this.
lkj0t: and for all the wrong reasons too.
RofltheMao: what the **** is wrong about becomming worked up over the death of so many innocent people?
RofltheMao: I have RELATIVES in New York
RofltheMao: we cant even ****ing call them to see if theyre alive
RofltheMao: because the phones are all dead.
lkj0t: well, that would be unfortunate.
RofltheMao: yes, but not nearly as unfortunate as when that smoke clears and the police see thousands of innocent people charred and mangled within the debris.
lkj0t: otherwise, i simply cant sympathise with the dead people
lkj0t: to me, they arent real.
RofltheMao: as well as maybe children, and DISABLED people who couldnt even make it to the ****ing stairs to escape.
lkj0t: it might as well be a movie
lkj0t: oh no
RofltheMao: funny, i usually think the same thing.
lkj0t: disabled people dying is more tragic than the rest.
lkj0t: somehow.
RofltheMao: where did i type "which is more tragic than the rest"
lkj0t: RofltheMao: as well as maybe children, and DISABLED people who couldnt even make it to the ****ing stairs to escape.
lkj0t: NOT 'DISABLED PEOPLE'
lkj0t: ONO
RofltheMao: and where does that say "disabled people dying is more tragic than the rest."
lkj0t: you stressed disabled as if it were, i was making an inference based on your statement
lkj0t: that is how we communicate
RofltheMao: im just saying that adds on to it. not only did people who COULD have escaped died, people that had no fighting chance had to sit there and wait for death to come.
lkj0t: oh
RofltheMao: then i apologizing for stressing it, i didnt mean to make it seem like that made it worse. theyre just as equal as those who weren't.
lkj0t: could have
RofltheMao: apologize*
lkj0t: and in both cases
lkj0t: i couldnt care less.
RofltheMao: why.
RofltheMao: this isn't tv though.
lkj0t: it is
RofltheMao: no, its not.
RofltheMao: you live in NY.
lkj0t: take a philosophy course.
lkj0t: it it.
lkj0t: it is
RofltheMao: go to the twin towers when the smoke clears.
lkj0t: thatd be different.
RofltheMao: what youre seeing is ON television, but it is not ficticious.
lkj0t: muhc of what they are saying is nearly justthat though
RofltheMao: a friend of mine in NY has a boyfriend who WATCHED it happen.
RofltheMao: wanderingrjo: i live in jersey
RofltheMao: wanderingrjo: but i saw everything from where i was
RofltheMao: wanderingrjo: well
RofltheMao: wanderingrjo: i saw both of them fall
lkj0t:
lkj0t: i wish i saw them fall
lkj0t: i would have taken pictures
RofltheMao: you are heartless.
lkj0t: cry me a river.
RofltheMao: i will. |
