9/11 over rated?

your thinking of “Cruage under fire”

any way. heres my take on 9/11, first i’d like to apolagise in advance for anything that may ofend you people. i tend to be a little more outspocken then usale on these kinds of topics.
ok a few thousand incent civilans died at the hands of mercilus terorists. thats how the media in both our countrys have presented it, right?
lets take it from a diferent point of view shell we.
in an impoverished nation, war stricken and starving. instede of giving this poor nation help, the most powful nation turns a blind eye to it. simple becase of whos in power in the impoverished nation. so after a wile the people living in the gutter start to get upset at the nation that should be helping them but is not becase of there own interests. so these people decide to strike back at this selfish rich nation by using there own machines agenst them. so using nothing more then knives razer blades they take over 4 air planes and crash them into the heart of the nation. giving up ther own lives for what they belive in. to attack at the greedy curupt rich snobs that have forgoton about ther sufering.

now heres a diferent idea, now how could this hapen completly under the nose of the US athoritys. simple they wanted it to hapan, ok they did’nt want them to blow up the WTC but the bush administration wanted a terorist attack in amarica so he could get suport to go play with his new military toys in the sand. he just had no idea how bad it was going to be.

i could go on with the rest of amarican hypocrycy but i’ll save that for a diferent thread.

The US has spent hundreds of thousands per EACH AIDS VICTIM because of the fear and rantings of the gay community.

Completely false. Aids victims have a 85%+ death rate. Money is very rarely spent on them individually. And I myself have yet to see one outcry from the gay community about aids.

Aids is the most serious disease ever to sweep our race. Worse than the Black Plague. Worse than the Spanish Flu. Aids is the pinacle of Darwenism. The perfect virus. We need to fight this disease, because it doesn’t go away like other diseases. In fact, it doesn’t kill you, it lets other viruses do that. If Aids is not controlled, researched, and cured, hundreds of millions of people are slowly going to rot away.

And I myself have yet to see one outcry from the gay community about aids.

I don’t know, there was a pretty big outcry in California a while back…

If Aids is not controlled, researched, and cured, hundreds of millions of people are slowly going to rot away.

Doubtful it can be cured… the answer lies in containing it and through education

AIDS can be prevented. That’s a hell of a lot better than many cancers and heart diseases.
How do i not get AIDS now???
I stop being an idiot.
Very very simple.

I absolutely agree. Let’s pour our money into Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s.

you’re confusing them w/ Canada, my friend.

hmmm… 1/2 of a percent of the entire budget goes to the military…

Moses is that it???
0.5%?
That’s wacky.
And yet its still the most impressive armed forces in the world.
uggggg

On actual budget spent on new military hardware… that’s what I’ve heard.

Quite a difference between the two statements:
The second would not include paying for the staff, the maintainance of hardware, military research etc.

I must say, i think the first is way too low. The second explanations sounds more plausible.

I heard milatary was the first priortiy of the american budget

As it should be.
Our government was not formed under the ideal that it would serve as a “supermarket” to provide citizens with a vast array of programs to accomodate everyone. OUR GOVERNMENT IS HERE TO PROTECT IT’S CITIZENS. That’s something I think people too often don’t understand.
In my opinion, our country would’ve been a lot more prepared for 9/11, had the government been able to pour it’s time and money into our defense (military, intellience, etc.) rather than wasting my money on the lazy bum down the street who could care less whether he got a job.

ya you can leave bombing countrys to the UN

HA! The UN won’t do shit when it comes to enforcing anything. Why would we leave the security of our country in the hands of an organization that is anti-American?

This country does spend quite a bit on defense. I’ve been reading books for my term paper, and I’ve found out that the Pentagon is always pushing for more while it’s losing money on the factories and things that they have. I agree that the politicians are

wasting my money on the lazy bum down the street who could care less whether he got a job.

I also beleive that these same politicians are the cause of losing money and all the while they are complaining that strengthening defense is bad and a waste of money. It would cost less if they would stop standing in the way.
The three major manufacturers of arms try to pander the politicians good will by setting up their plants in certain senators’/congressmen’s states, but they politicians in other states become unhappy and slow things down. Then these same manufacturers work together so they don’t have to compete for the government’s business, so the cost is driven sky-high. Then the government doesn’t charge rent on the buildings they let the manufacturers use. Before, the rent charge would be added to the cost of the arms. But recently (before the war on terrorism and after the end of the Cold War), the government wasn’t buying most of the arms these manufacturers were turning out. They were mostly going to foreign (albeit friendly) countries. So the government could have charged rent and not suffered the backlash. Anyway, they’re all in the wrong even though the politicians are blamed in general.
Anyhow, that was mostly to help me remember that for my term paper. Sorry if it was confusing or flawed. :)

I doubt it.
I think the American people have more trust and confidence that our own country will protect us more than a coalition of other countries will.
