    Well to celebrate 9/11 day i allowed myself to be assulted by the pamphlet bearing "Campus Crusade for Christ" morons.

    It was a very nice colorful pamphlet with things like "Question: Where was god during 9/11! Answer: He was there feeling the anguish of all the victims." And other crap like that.

    On the whole i dont think it was really worth it. (although it was kinda good for a laugh)

    I concur!

    ...but again, for Jack Donkey, there was a problem, a fork in decisions. For everyone knew that the evil Dr. Morrey was, in fact, evil, for what the detectives hyping his face on TV called 'various reasons.' So Dr. Morrey had acquired the nickname of 'The for-various-reasons-inherently-evil-doctor.' Jack had, only weeks ago, reluctantly taken the bribe in exchange for installing a radio intenna out of the doctor's ears, which would allow him to fulfill his one and only dream (other than committing a crime he could be famous for) : to control the mind and body of an eel from at least two feet away.

    And so it was done. The bribes for this radical operation (deemed illegal by the Republic of Congo) payed for the dirty (yet...scented) lingerie, for the phone sex, and for the airmale (R) pornography dropped from the sky with a parachute every morning by none other than the infamous Xeno D. Goldstein, the alien who had spent his short eight hundred year life either handing out gay-man-with-gay-horse-or-donkey pornography or, strangely enough, giving blow jobs in seedy gas station bathrooms, his knees raw from falling down upon them so often.

    Little did Xeno know that he had a big part to play in the life of Bobine, and the life of Mister Jack Ass himself...

    "But life is good, if we allow it"

    Think deeply about this statement. The tragedy of 9/11 is that life is NOT good for those innocent people who were killed that day. They have no life at all.Iit's gone, taken from them. And for wives who no longer have husbands and for husbands who no longer have wives, for children who no longer have a mother or father, life is not good for them either. This is the reason we acknowledge and remember. This is why we must never forget. We must never accept or be indifferent to human behavior that causes other humans to suffer, no matter where it occurs, no matter what the reason.

    So then you, of course, asked for a memorial and deeply mourned the lose of life in Yugoslavia and Bosnia and what not?

    I think most people miss the point about september 11th. People worry about "American Lives" and that terrorists were able to destroy a couple large buildings. Everyone fails to realize that this was more than an act of terrorism, it was a very extremest response to the crap that is going on in the world.

    I would never agree with bombing another country because we don't like what they are doing, BUT DO YOU THINK BIN LADIN IS THE ONLY ONE DOING THAT. HELL NO

    The US has been doing that ever since we created the airplane. Afghanistan is so bombed out it hardly matters that we bombed them even more in the "war on terrorism".

    If we had King Bush instead of President bush, The holiday would be cellebrated by an annual bombing of the Mid-east!

    Who ever's idea september 11th was, they put a lot of thought into it. Seems almost like they had to be an english teacher to put so much symbolism in death and destruction.

    The planes flew in pointing toward Washington D.C. the representation of The US Government! The planes hit the two symbols of the Western economy! And they even hit the pentagon, the war department of the US!

    These things are the worst part of the United states, the government with a smiling face and an oblivious grip on the world. The economy that makes rich countries richer and poor countries poorer. The War department with no international respect, making more war crimes that went unpunished than almost anyone else, except maybe the british in colonial times.

    Bin Laden had GOOD reasons for being mad, aulthough what he did was defniately not sensitive to life, but you have to think of the position of the people over there. What other way can they try to change the world.

    After september 11th, the only thing our president could think of was to kill Bin Laden because hes evil.....

    Bin laden was an extremest just like hitler was. But Bin Laden had good reasons for doing what he did, unlike Hitler. We should have captured him and interviewed him on reasons etc. Then tried him. If we can Object to what Bin Laden did then we can't just rampage into another country and kill someone without trial. This was the very crazieness that the attack protested against.

    Im sure the international community was very impressed when we elected a presedent to office who lost the election....

    Actually, Frenchsomethingorother, Bush won in Floriduh by the standards Gore wished to use.

    Since you have such an affinity for those who kill Americans, may I ask if you are American?

    If so, perhaps you should do buddy Bin Ladin a favor and save him the trouble.

    Can we at least agree on the fact that killing humans for any reason is wrong and that the US needs to stop putting oil ahead of all other endeavors?

    (I'm still waiting for the response to our story, xev)

    I do and did think deeply about this statement. Thats why Im saying to be good and be happynow! Why wait? Why live life unhappy when it could over tomorrow? Why? My life is for shit, but I am always smiling and being nice to people. Why? Because I know it could end today, and I dont want to leave a legacy behind that is full of sorrow and unhappiness. I want to leave behind goodness and kindness. I am always hopeful that my smiles are contagious.

    No. Killing humans because it would amuse the Benificent and Munificant and Uber-Nifty Xev is perfectly right.

    Xeno did not realize that he was Bobine's long lost brother's sister's cousin's second uncle's ex-wife's chauffer. Nor did he realize that some guy named Szveze Mbenko in Nigeria wanted to help him transfer the assets of a generic dead African dictator out of the country.

    But he did realize that he could see hot, wild co-ed sluts take it all off via webcam.......

    Oil? Oh this is about oil now? Our #1 import of oil comes from Canada. Do you honestly think we couldnt take Canada out in a blink of an eye? Yes, we could, but are we? No, were not, cuz maybe this isnt about oil. And it amuses me to hear how some people can validate the killing of 3000 citizens because the US is money hungry and wants oil

    I'm not sure about the canada thing, but I wasn't justifying the deaths of thousands of people. I'm sorry they're dead. But right now, star, our government is perverting their deaths for oil because the head honchos, all of them, are associated with energy companies through either business or bribery. There is so much oil in the Middle East, and we've had an embargo on Iraq for quite some time. Is there anyone better besides Saddam Hussein to sell us oil? Hell yeah! It's whoever they place in power once we're finished bombing and invading Iraq.

    ...and, upon seeing them, print images of them in high quality to entice those that he worked for in the seedy gas station restrooms. He began doing so, making more and more money all the time, becoming infamous among the gay truckdrivers as 'that hot lil fuckerrr.' It happened by chance that in the wee hours of sunday morning, while Jack Ass was patiently waiting for the delivery of his airmale (R) gay-man-with-gay-horse pornography, Xeno happened to fly by in the Goldstein mk. III. As he prepared to drop the package of images, sounds, and new toys from around the globe to the anxious Jack Ass (who had begun to wave his tail benevolently) his hand slipped and his wallet struck Ass' head.

    Jack checked the wallet, and immediately found a conclusion to the entire tale. He could pay back the mysterious Dr. Morrey and then maybe help Bobine. But first, he had to somehow charter an airplane to get to the island deep in the Mediterranean Ocean (he reminded himself that there was, in fact, both an ocean and a sea). He gazed up into the sky, and saw Xeno D. Goldstein, alien pornographer cocksucker extroardinaire, wave frantically for his wallet. Jack fixed his eyes on Xeno, and with his hidden benevolence mind controlled the susceptible-to-mind-control-alien and boarded the plane, setting off toward the abyss of the Mediterranean Ocean.

    I believe Iraq is our 3rd largest oil importer. We can get the stuff from other places. We could take out Mexico and get all their oil if we wanted to. We could start drilling in Alaska (which is out own property) and use that oil if we wanted. I think its because Iraq has a manic depressive psychopath that hates America(ns) running the place that we have a problem with.

    From the CIA World Factbook. (on Iraq)

    Notice that the US isn't listed there, and that its only export is oil.

    Yes. We can drill in Alaska. Why shouldn't we? Because parts of Alaska would be destroyed, completely destroyed, in the process. Plus I think congress voted down the measure anyway (thankfully).

    Also from the Factbook. (on Mexico).

    From the looks of it we do get oil from Mexico, but it really can't be enough. Remember the inflation of oil prices last summer (or the one before? I'm counting the current date as summer, not fall). That was because of OPEC. They used their monopoly on oil (not unlike CHOAM on space transportation from Dune, for any of you scifi fanatics), constricted the US severely because they knew at the time and now that they were our prime oil exporter. We are completely dependent on foreign oil, and we use a good majority of the oil produced, and so when you put these two together and add them to terrorism you get a nice recipe for a war that can be waged while tricking the american people into believing that its purpose is to liberate a country when in reality it is merely for economic security.

    Xev:....

    "Bush won in Floriduh by the standards Gore wished to use. "

    Well, thats not exactly what I was talking about. I would have said something, but I am not entirely sure. I was thinking that the he had less votes from the people and more votes from teh elctoral college, but maybe that is what people said MIGHT happen. So i wont argue with you.

    "Since you have such an affinity for those who kill Americans, may I ask if you are American?"

    I don't think I said that I liked the fact that killing was going on, but yes you may ask if I am American.

    "Why? Last I checked, neither Yugoslavia or Bosnia was in the US."

    Does it matter. I believe what this guy is trying to say is that why do we care SOOOOO much that people in America die, when people in countries like yugoslavia or Bosnia die like that all the time, and a few times by the US army. So he is saying it is not fair to be simpathetic to all those americans and not awknowledge all those other innocent deaths that go on as well.

    It is kinda annoying that our country is so obsessed with "American Lives" that it doesn't care who else it kills as long as Americans weren't.

    "Can we at least agree on the fact that killing humans for any reason is wrong and that the US needs to stop putting oil ahead of all other endeavors?"

    If we are (and there is a very high chance that that is so) then I can agree, whth the exception of killing people for saving even more lives as is debated about hiroshima.

    "Oil? Oh this is about oil now? Do you honestly think we couldnt take Canada out in a blink of an eye? Yes, we could, but are we? No, were not, cuz maybe this isnt about oil. And it amuses me to hear how some people can validate the killing of 3000 citizens because the US is money hungry and wants oil"

    Well, I don't know about that canada stuff either, but do you happen to know who we got most of our oil from in past years? I don't know the answer to that, but it would be interesting if it was the mid-east. Personally, I think it would be good for our country (not neccessarily our economy) to have an oil shortage. Then maybe people will take alternative power seriously!

    Plus I don't think that we could take canada or mexico over if it WAS about oil-the rest of the world would be on our asses in minutes.

    Exactly. Being part of the UN and NATO, according to them we can't legally attack another country, we can only defend ourselves. If we withdrew from either organization it wouldn't be long before everything went to hell.

    Dec. 7th deserves celebration for the dent it made in a st00pid military of a st00pid c0nserv4t1v3 nation that deserved it and continues to ask for acts of violence from other nations with its actions.

    When people say "celebration", generally I think they mean remembrance or memorial. They're not celebrating deaths, I don't think, but rather doing something memorable on a memorable day.

    Dec. 7th is not memorable and deserves no memory because a miniscule amount of military personnel were killed by a pre-emptive attack.

    I agree, our country "deserved it" in the effect that our polocies were unfair. But even if the attack was fair against the US, it was definately not fair to the people who died in the crashes.

    The attacks on the twin towers would have only gained the terrorists something if we were a nation of smart people. Alas, we, like the rest of the world, surround ourselves with idiots and lawyers.
