Yes! Speaking of 9-11....Why the hell does BinLaden still walk this earth!? Dont forget that was a precursor to the war(on terrorism). This is a man who we knew was/is funding terrorist groups(with his and his familys billions NOT Saddams $). A man who we knew funded the first WTC attack and several others. A man whos exact location we knew of after those attacks. In fact we had a military presence capable of taking him and and his camp out, a couple times accually, while he was being harbored by Pakistan durring the Clinton era. We did nothing. Think about it. So we chased this guy around in Afganistan for a while and then what? We attack Iraq? WTF! We failed to kill this bastard. WHY?!!!! These terrorist are smart, brutal, fighting guerilla style at a large scale, and most importantly they absolutely hate us with their entire beings AND they have a religion that has been twisted into catalyst that tells them they should! They believe that in this life there is only suffering and impurity. That this indeed is not the REAL life but only a trial so they can live eternally in a paradise that sounds suspiciously like what they hate about America. And to get there they must die a glorious death taking as many of their sworn enemies with them. Is this more about their hatred for Christians though? Or mabey they they just lump America and Christianity(a twisted form of it) into one catagory and say,"hell, kill em all!" Remember the Crusades? Remember who the Christians attacked? Remember where most Christians came from at the time? And where do most of those Christians' offspring now reside? USA. Besides, how were the crusades or any religion driven war(most wars) different than what these guys are doing now? Killing others because you hate the ideas by which they live and because you know you are right. Damn religion pisses me off! If it werent for those few brilliant and brave individuals who where not affraid to question and challenge it, and werent affraid of the consequences, none of the technology, knowledge, health, science, chemistry, physics, astronomy...freaking everything we now enjoy in life would not exist. Wed be praying to some god or another to cure cancer instead of figuring out ways to cure it OURSELVES using OUR minds! And yet the vast majority of us still cling to these self serving, self deceiving, force fed superstitions instead of activly seeking the truth ourselves? Actually its easy to do and I can see how a great deal of comfort and meaning can be drawn from religion and people desperately need those things in this world of confusion and insignificance. But damn it people! Its time to move on to the next level of our existance and to stop living life like its only a shadow of whats to come in death and to stop living like the end is coming so the future of our species, and fellow species isnt all that important. Like god will take care of it all. Its time to change the way we think and view ourselves, big time......Meanwhile we still bicker about weather creationism or evolution should be taught to our children and fight eachother in a purely basic and ego driven manner...but were not animals, were devine! Bull#$%*. I very much fear for our future and current events scare me to my core. Especially because I am by far a minority in my views and I WILL REFUSE! I WILL RESIST! so.....Ill be killed as a heretic.. oh well.
BTW I applaude you guys for your ability to have arguments and yet remain civil and respectfull, and intelligent about it. Rock on.
