Oops, sorry, my bad. I thought that opinion would be ok on this thread, but clearly this is a kow-tow only zone, my mistake.
yeah pretty hard to figure out when the SECOND line in this entire thread states..
Nothing regarding politics should be posted here but more just a thread of thoughts on the anniversary of that date.
Comprehesion problems?
Also, you were the one that said "you people", not me. Maybe you'd like to tell me who these people are, so I know what category I fit in.
Ones that attempt to hijack a topic that clearly states NOT to make comments on something OTHER than the topic at hand. You clearly fit in that category. Comparing what happened on 9/11 because "other people died on other dates in other countries at the hands of the US" has what exactly to do with this thread and its intended purpose?
Holy smokes.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure I adressed that 'no politics' request in my first post, and I stand by it, regardless of what you think. Clearly its a result of my comprehension problems.
As to your second point, if you're going to start a thread on a contentious topic, a little bit of debate is to be expected. If I said, "this is a thread about the Democratic Party, please, only support for Democrats in this thread.", I could probably expect to find a healthy amount of debate. While 9/11 as a tragic event should be above politics, every politician and news corporation speaking in the US right now seems to disagree w/ you on whether it is politicized or not (clearly it is, as there are even political ads about it on major networks, supporting or detracting from Presidential candidates). I already stated that I was sorry 9/11 happened. I'm also sorry about the sycophantic state some people have gotten themselves into about it.
Talk about self-righteous.
