Towers. eom


On edit I found that a 1 time "Local legend" from my home town as in the guy who rescued the Americans who eluded capture at their embassy in 1980, who is now in New York survived all that, but 2800 or so others weren't so lucky. :( :cry: :scared:

2. My friends' 5th Anniversary
But yeah, I vaguely remember something else...I remember walking over a bridge with what seemed like one million other people. It was a pretty nice day though, so I think maybe we were just taking advantage of the weather.

4. 'Twas a demolitions expert's wet dream....
Something to do with planes, terra-ists, and some buildings that co-incidentally had millions of dollars in put options placed on them just before 9/11... or something. That's all I remember....

Now where did I put my heating pad? These 35-year-old bones are creaking something fierce!

6. ROFL
I participate on another board which is fairly politically neutral in origin, so it attracts people on all parts of the spectrum and I love it when the few freepers there insinuate that anyone who is against the IMMORAL, UNJUST INVASION of Iraq forgot Sept. 11 and what happened that day.

I mean, yeah right. I was 30 years old when it happened and had to explain a lot of tough shit to my then six year old daughter. My husband (former military, Desert Storm vet) had a freaking nervous breakdown six weeks later because of it and I lost two cousins in it. But yeah, I tend to forget what happened that day.

:eyes:

13. Well, if you just have to know -
Edited on Sun May-30-04 11:09 PM by tx.lib
the Government murdered 3,000 of it`s own citizens, and blamed it on Muslim terrorists, most of whom could hardly qualify to fly a Cessna, and at least 5 of whom subsequently turned up alive and well, even though they supposedly died in the attacks. Remember now, these were "terrorrists who hate our freedom", who would presumably be out to do all the damage they could. So, they flew right over one of the biggest nuclear power plants on the east coast, and hit a couple of buildings in New York City. Go figure.

20. That was the day
"America lost its innocence." You know, up till then, we had been so good to everyone in the world, we thought nobody would want to hurt us. Because, as our "president" said, "We know how good we are."


Great question, Paragon. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

22. Oh dude. Was it bad? It was awful.
That was the day my local sandwich shop ran out of mustard.

I mean how the hell are you going to eat a ham sandwich with no mustard? It was horrific.

Oops sorry couldn't resist. :D



On edit 2nd verse "Try to rememmber the eleventh of September when New York's outage was red and Bush was yellow, Try to remember the eleventh of September when Senators Clinton and Schumer were one heck of a bold and resolute gal and fellow."

24. Wasn't September 11th when
the Parliament building mysteriously burned and then the opposition party was blamed and so a whole lot of new laws got passed to "protect" the party in power, but in actuality the laws took away the people's civil rights...

Oh wait, wrong century and wrong country.

Nevermind. I'm not sure. I'm liberal so I must have forgotten.

25. Dude, the media hasn't played pictures and are keeping them from us
instead they are showing doctored 'frat boy' hijinks from Abu Ghraib. The media is trying to censor 9/11. That is what Sean Hannity said.
