Oh shit, it's September 11
 
What kind of crap are the repukes going to feed us today?

"go shopping today"

"palin has international experience cuz alaska is next to russia"

"god is on our side"

"nucular weppens nucular weppens nucular weppens"

"The United States of America will use all our resources to conquer this enemy. We will rally the world. We will be patient. We'll be focused, and we will be steadfast in our determination. This battle will take time and resolve, but make no mistake about it, we will win."

"let's invade iran next!"

"this will be a monumental struggle of good versus evil, but good will prevail"

"vote mcsame"

9/11 is also the date on which certain fascist terrorists led by Augusto Pinochet and backed by the CIA hijacked the democratically-elected socialist government of Chile, as a result of which some 3,000 innocent South Americans were executed or “disappeared.” Funny old thing, history.

even to this day, I still don't know what to believe...

I'm such a jaded fuck, I don't know if I'm even "really bothered" by all the deaths. people die by the ton every day for a million different senseless reasons.

my cynicism saddens me, yet it continues to slowly progress as meat parts are replaced by metal.

ploesj 09.11.2008 10:01 AM

that picture still creeps me out.

i didn't notice until i saw the date on the paper. and the fact that they advertised a 'terrorism-atlas' for sale in a local bookstore. now you can check where in this world acts of terrorism have been recorded!

MellySingsDoom 09.11.2008 10:07 AM

Whatever the "reasons", it' still totally tragic and fucked up that all people died - nothing will change that for me.

RIP the victims of September 11th 2001.

Fuck 9/11 - I lost a friend in the towers and you know what, this date is bullshit promotion for politicians and their unrelated agendas. It's been that way since day .5

She died so that politicians could push their bullshit through unopposed.

gmku 09.11.2008 10:22 AM

I would like to commemorate 9/11 by buying more clothes, but I can't go anywhere today. I'll do a post-9/11 commemoration next week instead some time in Banana Republic. Who wishes to join me?

floatingslowly 09.11.2008 10:25 AM

^^^ only if we can install our own puppet dictator there.



manga: for that, I am truly sorry.

I didn't read your post before I posted mine, Manga, or I would have been a little more respectful about this. I am also truly sorry to hear this.

I often suspected that many friends and families of 9-11 victims must feel as you do. It's very crass how politicians and the media use the tragedy of the personal losses from that day to bolster their own agendas.

Jesus. That's nice.

I miss Europe. I lived in West Germany for four years and wish I had never left.

Did you buy any kool Euro clothes?

atsonicpark 09.11.2008 10:30 AM

didn't know it was 9/11 till I saw this thread.

I really don't pay attention to shit like this.

Sad day though, 7 years ago. Then again, every day is a sad day.

engram traceroute suggest this as being the root of my apathy.

Right on. I don't mean to play down the important of the innocent deaths in 9/11 in 2001 by bringing up the 1973 coup but they are pretty ironically linked. Both days mark not only the deaths of thousands of innocents but the days democracy died.

atsonicpark 09.11.2008 10:32 AM

Also, do you think an actual camel smells like a camel cigarette?

Danny Himself 09.11.2008 10:33 AM

I've never smelled Camel cigarettes or a camel.
