Yeah — that makes sense.
Seems like you're being sarcastic. Would you like to elaborate how 45,000+ civilian deaths in Afghanistan wasn't an act of terror?
Actions have consequences.
Ok yup you're actually just an asshole. Good to know the people who are offended by 9/11 jokes are people who I would prefer to offend.
In other words: murdering 3000 people should surely not have consequences.
If you can’t understand that it does, you’ll be an actual grown up.
Tell me - if a terror attack murdering 3,000 innocent people justifies the murder of 45,000 innocent people, how many terror attacks does the murder of 45,000 innocent people justify?
Your logic is caveman level stupid. Continuously murdering each other's civilians in the name of payback or consequences will never end.
It’s funny that you being up logic.
It would have mean that you were following the thread.
My claim: The Bush meme template is tasteless.
That’s all I’ve been suggesting.
Reason: living relatives of the thousands of victims find it painful.
Evidence: personal experience
That’s it.
But just to suggest that a meme template that might be offensive to others
Imagine an image of a man raping a woman and he had a joyful smile on his face. The tagline: When I get my final in at 11:59pm and the assignment closes at midnight
Pretty sure some people would find that offensive?
Please name the Afghani people who attacked the U.S. on 9/11. Unless you think those consequences should be killing people who had absolutely nothing to do with it. 15 of the 19 9/11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia. Shouldn't the consequences have involved Saudi Arabia? As someone who was orphaned by Saudis on 9/11, shouldn't you be upset that we went to war with Afghanistan and not Saudi Arabia?
It’s a very bizarre rabbit hole.
The Saudiee surely funded Binladen if we are to believe any of the official story.
And it’s regrettable that Bush allowed them to get off the hook.
And later some Saudi prince murdered Jamal Khashoggi.
All shit from beginning to end.
I’m bored as fuck of this conversation.
Use the template or not.
I’m not going to because it’s distasteful to the relatives of the Americans murdered in the attack. You won’t see me using any templates of smart bombs murdering innocent people in Afghanistan or the Middle East because that too would be tasteless.
I’m glad I got under all these little babies skin though. I’m one person with 300 downvotes for a single comment.
What I learned from this is the Lemmy is filled with a bunch brittle fucking crybabies.
You seem to be the one upset here...
I lost my parents in 9/11 and not a single person here had an ounce of sympathy. It was sociopathic.
Maybe because you started out as hostile to everyone long before you said that you lost your parents on 9/11, so you had already spent all of your goodwill.
It's hard to have sympathy for someone who has been rude to everyone who talks to them.
Yeah… okay.
Let’s just move on?
