Help! I "forgot 9/11"! What happened???

[Bluebear]

:eyes: Has there ever been a lamer line then "Um, have you forgotten 9/11?"

It seems like this is the common answer amongst the moran crowd for any occasion. Additionally, it seems now that only Republicans died that day from the tone of things.

You know, I was awake for three days following 9/11, I don't think I slept more than an hour at a time. At least our President was sound asleep at 11pm that very night.

Yeah, morans, I "forgot 9/11". Idiots.

Government and immediately began brutalizing the people. :shrug:

Thanks for that link, I was not aware of the specific date in 1973. Oh well, they were just foreigners. /sarcasm off

2. Why then did NY

ground zero not vote for *? Now does that make sense? All those southern and midwesterners know better? Don't think so.

4. Don't confuse them with facts.

As long as they can make up a cliched bumpersticker and appropriate a tragedy as their own they are happy.

5. I didn't forget 9/11, but I'm acting like it never happened.

After all, that's what it means to be a liberal.

6. My resposne is: No I haven't and I would really like to know who did

it, why the government did everything it could to stop any investigation, and why the WTC buildings were shipped out of the country so fast.

Still waiting for those answers too.

[Bluebear]

7. Well, THAT'S one good answer!

:cheers:

9. I still want to know why no one got to the bottom of the short-selling

of Airline stocks just before 9/11.

Follow the money.
This Snopes report is on something TRUE

15. THey did. The FBI looked into it for 2 years and said there was

nothing unusal going on. End of case.

Sure.

[mcscajun]

18. Ah but it wasn't the FBI that was supposed to follow up…

…FBI cover-up, more likely. I never heard a thing about an FBI investigation, but The Chicago Board Options Exchange was definitely supposed to be investigating the trades.

from Snopes: http://www.snopes.com/rumors/putcall.htm
The Chicago Board Options Exchange is investigating each of these trades and at this time is declining to offer comment on its progress. The volume traded and the one-sidedness of the trades, however, have raised suspicions that those who had knowledge of the details of the attacks (e.g., which airlines would be involved and that the World Trade Center was a target) could have been behind them and profited mightily.

I see all these faded bumper stickers that say "9/11: We'll Never Forget", but I forgot about it.

17. All I can say is........

Bez wątpienia najlepszym solistą w historii polskiego łyżwiarstwa figurowego był i pozostaje do dzisiaj Grzegorz Filipowski. Marzeniem każdego zawodnika, od czasu kiedy rywalizację o medale wspaniale pokazuje telewizja, jest kwalifikacja do finałów, możliwość pokazania się wielomilionowemu audytorium. Zajęcie miejsca na podium to już szczyt marzeń... Grzegorz Filipowski przez wiele lat raczył polskich "fanów" swoją obecnością w ścisłej europejskiej i światowej czołówce, chyba wszyscy rodacy zaciskali kciuki kiedy szykował się do najtrudniejszych skoków, życzyli mu powodzenia, przeżywali wspólnie porażki. Ponieważ karierę zaczął bardzo młodo, spodziewano się, że dojdzie kiedyś do tytułu mistrza świata. Był już blisko. Miał brązowy medal, dwa razy stał na podium mistrzostw Europy. Tego, żaden polski solista nigdy nie dokonał. Kiedy jednak kończył piękną karierę, pozostawił uczucie niedosytu. Czy naprawdę nie mógł być najlepszym z najlepszych?

19. The GOP forgot 9/11, as soon as Bush said "Let's go get Saddam!"

The War On Terror has been sidetracked by the War In Iraq.
