Capo didn't say the attacks on 9/11 were funny. You're misinterpreting what he said, DS. BTW, I agree with you Capo.

OK, back to the war.
Has anyone else noticed that the US has eliminated Iran's eastern and western border countries?
Just a thought.

The whole concept of some "tribute" site is funny. And the whole delivery of it. The use of Enya's music, the images. The whole thought that somebody sat down and spent hours doing that. It isn't even an official site, for goodness sake. Anybody could have made it. I could have.
Though mine wouldn't have been half as good. What is wrong or funny of someone out of the goodness of their heart to make a memorial site? Who cares if it is not official. I would have made one but I don't have the talent or the knowledge. IMHO that was a cold hearted thing for you to say. This person felt the need to do it so they did it. And God bless them for it.

The whole concept of some "tribute" site is funny. Hmm.. difficult to see how that site is "funny", I have to say I can understand Don Smitty's chagrin here. People express sorrow, grief and anger in different ways, it's true that site is a very shmaltzy Disney, typically American way of expressing it, but it is still a valid way of expressing those reactions and emotions. It's a shame that we're all getting into this sniping and back-biting when we presumably all agree on a basic idea: that the 9/11 attacks, like any major loss of innocent life to terrorism, were appalling, and that we would all be happy to see planned organized terrorist attacks thwarted, and the perpetrators brought to justice. We only disagree on the detail.

First of all, I didn't "YELL" at DC. I wasn't even angry, I just pointed out that it might not be a good way to prove his point by using other people's names--let THEM decide if they want to be used for propaganda that may or may not adhere to what they believe. And I didn't react to the "funny" because I'm not on this board everyday, AND I understtod that the "funny" part wasn't the tragedy, it was applied to YOU and these types of tributes, which, frankly, I find more sad than funny.

You're points are right, but you have the wrong solutions. Nobody needs to be sending any money, and it won't help anyways. Free food aid just means farmers can't sell anything. The West Wing debate had the right solution: tax cuts. The European colonists put in rules that made it impossible for the colonies to compete with them, and those countries haven't been smart enough to see the damage and get rid of those rules. In some of those countries you are looking at 70-90% tax rates, so nothing gets made legally. Some of these countries used to be big food exporters, but then their dictators made things worse., and now Zimbabwe has famine. Debt relief, food aid, AIDS money, and all the other trendy solutions are a waste of time. Those countreis need to figure things out for themselves, and the best assistance to be provided would be economists who can explain to them how to open up their government. [/b] Well I agree with all that, but I never said that sending money is the solution. We just have to give the 3td world infrastructure, and the opportunity to compete with our western economies. We're competeting them to death now.
See, we can act as smart as we want, but at the end of the day, we still follow a guy who fucks himself with kebab skewers.

The whole thought that somebody sat down and spent hours doing that shows me that they have a heart. What the hell do you find so funny about a tribute site?  Saladbar he says right here that he finds the tribute funny. It is not about my posting it being funny. DS

You dont open your mouth when these others make anti american posts. You and your buddies are always crying about free speech and the second someone makes a post that you dont agree with you attack them and become a board moniter. Im not terrorized i am realistic.
