remember 9/11

[holy king]

first you drag the thread off topic for ten pages and then you complain about me not posting on-topic?

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Nope. I'm simply stating that you abandoned the topic from the get-go with a void OP and then come back periodically to whine about how we aren't talking about Chile.

Anything relevant to say about Chile, perhaps?

 

[holy king]

do you think the pinochet era has been sufficiently worked off throughout chilean society?

 

[hobbsyoyo]

do you think the pinochet era has been sufficiently worked off throughout chilean society?

Probably more so than the 9/11 terrorist attacks have been 'sufficiently worked off' the American society.

 

[holy king]

way to discuss chile.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

I asked you to comment on it. Instead of commenting in response, you asked a question that I couldn't possibly begin to answer.

You win?

 

[holy king]

you know, you could not have posted at all and wait for someone more competent to answer the question.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Nope, it was way to easy to roll with. Also, it was posted as a question to me.

 

[holy king]

of course it was.

 

[holy king]

maybe this thread was a bad idea.

 

[civver_764]

It sure worked for the Nassi problem in WWII.

Created about 1000 more at the same time.

pretending to?
you're a freaking mind reader now, arent you?

also, should i get angry everytime an american celebrates crushing the germans in ww2?
i mean people died in ww2. those were my family they crushed. boo-freaking-hoo.

Let me just ask you one question: Do you really think American memories of 9/11 amount to "boo-freakin-hoo?"

 

[holy king]

no. but i think we all have our regional grievances and should be able to live with the fact that people from different regions dont share them.
like that indian hitler.

beep boop the empathy engine has determined that your grief is ILLOGICAL. please submit grief ticket to central bureau of grief processing and approval for a review of your grief request. until such time as grief has been admitted as objectively something, do not attempt to grieve subject "SEPTEMBER 11; TERRORIST ATTACK MODUS; NYC, USA"

I think you missed the point of what I said.

A lack of proportion is in itself of course very normal. We don't feel based on quantitative criteria. Yet, the scale of the divergence of proportions seems as unique to me as 9/11 was unique in the realm of terrorism.

Hm...

 

[Crezth]

what are you talking about? you're the one who basically said "9/11 wasn't enough death so it shouldn't matter." you're the one who boiled this down to moral calculus.

 

[illram]

no. but i think we all have our regional grievances and should be able to live with the fact that people from different regions dont share them.
like that indian hitler.

Well I would ask you to understand the flip side of that. Can you live with the fact that some Americans don't share your indifference? Because this thread and the other one in the Chamber seem to express your rejection of the fact that people from America do still care.
