This day last year myself and a friend sat by the 9/11 Memorial Labyrinth for a while, some sort of meditation I guess.

while remembering 9/11 victims, let's not forget the victims of 9.11.1973 when US installed Augusto Pinochet in Chile

How can we forget William Rodriguez and his lecture ?

And of course:

Try playing devil's advocate to your own post and you'll see how childish and off the wall it is.

If you don't care, then bugger off.

So in other words, according to you, the US is beyond military and intelligence failures and blunders. Think again.

A little birdy told you? :hmm:

To get a word in edgewise, between the crackpots. A good summary with links:

Six Years Later.

Tell that to the families of those who died\or affected that day. Show a bit of class here.

I rarely venture to the GT thread, this type of posting reinforces
why that is the case

Most importantly I would like to express my sympathies to the families and the friends of them who lost loved ones in this horrendous tradgedy.

----------

Do you know Avon Lady, on the one hand I admire you for starting this thread to give people a chance to post their comments and for the other... well, you are regularly a condescending individual. I cannot get over this: Your video titles "for the idiots out there" Broadly sweeping statements of "for the crackpots"

And you are a fine one to criticise anybody for being childish, have you ever proof read anything you post? For somebody accusing others of being childish, you don't half do a fair amount of sweeping name calling yourself, not just contained to this thread but there are other examples and other individuals who have been rubbed up the wrong way by you.... and yes, I am rubbed up the wrong way since you told me you'd like to cut off peoples hands who take ridiculous things seriously... so why not practice what you preached to me... Why are you taking ridiculous things seriously?

I understand full well you don't take to loonatics lightly and that is fine... but you have turned a good thread idea into a circus with your attitude, why not do the sensible thing from the get-go and speak to Neal Stevens, to get the idiocy in your thread removed or warnings at least....? You want to know whats on my mind... I think you enjoy the chance to get involved in a pushing contest.

Yeah, enough of the conspiracy theories already, whatever the cause it doesn't change the outcome, nearly 3000 people died that day.

Amazing what a wee bit of historical perspective can do.

Oh, and what does this have to do with the topic at hand?

Yep, take it from a single Tidy Bowl Man.

He saved 40+ lives, just for you to know. Of course, how can you know since your head is buried deep in your ass.:hmm: Try to take it out, and place it on its proper place

Life - brief moment in time, like colourful firework in the sky, unique, ever-changing, never coming back. Light and shadow: the one is nothing without the other, would remain invisible. Darkness - then one sudden glimpse of bright light, and then its over. Beauty - so fragile the only power we have over it is to destroy it.

Grab it - and you loose it, search it - and you don't see it, don't mind - and it does not change anything. It simply is. So free yourself from everything, let go all your blinded thoughts and dark concepts. It is, like it always has been, and always will be. Since you never departed, you must not arrive. Since you lost nothing, you cannot gain anything. Don't think sad for the dead, for what has changed after they died is your perception only - not the reality of what really is.

Sometimes we become aware of this truth. Then time stands still, if only for seconds, and all things in universe freeze in precious balance, and them and us are one. It is in such moments that spans from one end of the universe to the other, when even the gods in Olymp don't dare a single breath, that we could become aware that nothing ever gets lost, and nothing ever was missing, and that we embrace it all, since always. Careless we waste this treasure again, when starting to attach meanings to all things that we see again. No injustice it is if then we suffer pain and sadness from this, self-made. The world is not in disorder. The world just is what it is. It is us not being in order. And things we see just reflect our confused state of mind.

Nobody must go anywhere. We are all - if only we knew - already there, and we never were anywhere else.

So why crying?
