probably a repost but an awesome movie none the less

September 11, 2001 started out just like any other day for me. I got up, late, as usual, and headed for what had to be the worst job that anyone could possibly have. Working in the telephone help center for a large bank in the state of Michigan. I hated the job with a passion, and did NOT want to get on the phone to help old people figure out what checks hadn't cashed yet. I arrived about 5 minutes late, and stalled for a few minutes before getting on the phone.

I signed onto the phone at about 9:10, and to my surprise, there weren't any calls holding. I couldn't figure out why, but I was relieved because of it.

I then went about my normal morning business. I went to www.cnn.com, and to my surprise, I couldn't get onto the site. I then went to www.msnbc.com, and to my surprise, I couldn't get onto that site either. I then went to www.espn.com, and I couldn't get onto that either. I tried some of my other sites, like the www.coffeebreakarcade.com, and some car message forums, and I got onto those just fine. The only thing I was having difficulty accessing was my morning news.

The phones had still been absolutely dead, so I decided to go to the cafeteria downstairs and get something for breakfast. I signed off the phone and took a trip that I will never forget.

I walked into the basement where the cafeteria was, and there were about a hundred peole down there...which is about 95 more than there normally was at that time of day. They were all huddled around the 19 inch TV in the dining area of the cafeteria. A lady was crying. A man was shouting. I didn't know either of them. I eased my way through the group, still not knowing what was going on. I got close enough to the TV to see it, and saw that both the North and South Tower of the World Trade Center had smoke billowing out of them. I then heard the reporter on the TV saying what had happened.

I couldn't believe it. It was like something that was surreal. That couldn't have been happening...not here, not to us in our own country, not to American Civilians...it had to be some kind of horrible joke, or a preview for a movie. As I watched, I realized that it wasn't any of that, and our country had in fact been attacked by the most cowardly method possible. Terrorists had used civilian jet liners filled with innocent people as missles, and had shot these missles right into the World Trade Center.

I sat down there and watched the news for several hours...completely neglecting what I was supposed to be doing for my job. I watched until both towers had fallen, and then I went back upstairs. I couldn't watch it anymore. It was too terrible. My boss asked me where I had been, and asked if I had heard that the WTC had been hit by airplanes. I told her yes I knew, and that both towers had just completely come falling down. She didn't believe me. I knew she was thinking the same thing I had been when I first saw the smoke coming out of hte building...she believed me, but she didn't want to...she then sent me home. I wanted to go. I wanted to watch the news. I wanted to see what we would do to retaliate against those that attacked us. I wanted revenge.

To this day, I will never forget exactly what I was doing and what happened on September 11, 2001. I hope nobody ever forgets.

To this day, I want revenge on those that did this. I cheer everytime I hear that our soldiers have taken another objective, and I cheer eveytime I see a greusome video on the internet of some damn Middle-Easterner taking some M-16 fire into his head.

To this day, I hate that area of the world and believe that everyone would be better off if it were just a large sheet of glass.

I remember...and I am sad. I remember...and I am mad. I remember...and I don't ever want to forget.

After spending all most a year in Iraq I have come to see that not all of them are bad. For those to say kill them all, you're stupid. For those that say "I cheer eveytime I see a greusome video on the internet of some damn Middle-Easterner taking some M-16 fire into his head." you're a retard. For those that say "I hate that area of the world and believe that everyone would be better off if it were just a large sheet of glass." You're fu(ken stupid. And this is why. I spent all most a year over in Iraq with the 3rd Infatry division. I was shot at, I shot at the enemy. Out of a country that has over 10 million ppl a hand full of them are bad, so let's nuke the lot of them. Good thinking shit head. It's thinking like this that gives us a bad name. :asshole Why don't you sit back and think of what it would be like if you lived over their for the past thirty years and your dictator made your whole country look like a bounch of killers and then someone came along and said. I know you don't have the power to do anything about it so we are just going to kill all of you. I think Hitler did something like that. :boid Don't get me wrong, I watched the video, it got me fired up, it made me want to go back and kick some more ass, but it didn't make me want to nuke everyone! below is a pic of me after a shity mission, just happy we made it back and we still didn't want to nuke them!

It's an opinion, man. You're gonna call me "stupid," "a retard," and "fucken stupid" for an opinion that you disagree with?? You also go on to call me a "shithead," and an "asshole."

That's fine. I'm sure you're the most intelligent person on the planet, and I'm sure you don't have any opinions that anyone else would disagree with.

As far as them not being able to do anything about it, anyone who believes that is about as ignorant as they can possibly be. If there is only a "handful" of them that are bad, as you say, and over 10 million people, then they would've stood a very good chance of winning a revolutionary war. You know what that is, right?? If your numbers are 10 million, to a handful, you've got a good shot. But they never even tried. You know why?? Because they were complacent and okay with what was going on. That alone makes them bad enough. It's a society's job to rid itself of it's government if said government is not fulfilling their wishes. So, if they didn't rid themselves of the rulers over there, then they must've believed in what their rulers were doing.

Also, you can't even begin to deny that most of the terrorism that is directed towards us is bred in this region of the world. They cause nothing but problems for the entire world. ALL of the countries over there shouldn't be trusted at all. They are all just little time bombs waiting to go off. If you just get rid of the problem area before another problem arises, then you have saved yourself and the rest of the world alot of time and effort.

I'll close this post by quoting the rules of the site for you, seeing as you decided to call me names and such in your post...
