First off America and Americans were attacked this make all the difference. Now this was not a country but a man and his followers that used American Technology, from laptops to airliners to our money since all of these things are so good then this man has no basis to say we are evil and must be destroyed. America has responded to this man his follwers not reacted had the US reacted it would have been a simple carpet bombing of the country or a nuke attack this is a reaction in responding we plae our children, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and friends. Be thankful we responded and did not react it is an American trait. Any person here from any country have the right to defend to a attack from any country or group of people. Notice that we do not sneak about hide and kill for the sake of being right, we defend the right for all people to be free. Terror hides does not stand in the open American stand in the open even if we may not want to but knowing we do take the risk. I have a wife from another country we visit often and when I and my family are there we are targets we understand this have body guards and so much fuss about us and all we want to do is visit family cause that's what it is about I am not an American to them nor my children I am a brother, uncle, I am family. This is the humanity of Americans and most other people, in Europe I watched one day in my life time the wall going down people with hammers taking it down a chip at a time. Apperciate freedom I we Americans do learn of the history that even allowed you to so bodly state the threads you have, you are young and well complain as you do you must account for your threads and like anyone else take the hits not whimper and say Americans do not understand you. lol the folly of youth is you think since you just learned about it it is new, when your older you see nothing is really all that new.

I say speak your mind. If you feel you have legitimate concerns about some aspect about American policy, economics …ect, and care to give an in-depth explication about why you feel that way then by all means. People might not share your opinion and might even give you negs for it but I feel expressing ones opinion is much more important than a few anti-points.
Remember it has to be constructive criticism and you have to be sensitive to others feelings especially when talking about 9/11. If you just come out and say “America blows”(or any country for that matter) then you deserved to be banned 8 times over.

by the way, in reference to the world trade center tragedy...
It wasnt only "americans" that were murdered during that terriorist attack - there were people from many many different countries including britain/japan/korea/france...etc that were all in the buildings when they collapsed. There were almost assuredly swiss nationals in the buildings as well. Terriorist dont care who they kill as long as their message gets across, and that they get their 13 black eyed virgins when they sit at the left hand of allah after they blow themselves up.
you should deltete this thread as well IMHO

Yeah chefer is definatley right, you've probably gotten some really lame reason for the posts and no reply to your requests, but yeah he's right avoid the politics on the security site, or atleast posting about it, anyway.

Okay, I'm going to try to say this nice and slow without the use of bad (or long) words.
I am sick and tired of hearing Americans described as stupid, ignorant, biased, ungrateful, arrogant and any number of other words you choose to use.
As far as I have heard what happened on 9/11 was the biggest terrorist attack ever. Do you know what that means? It means no one else has ever had it happen to them. It means you have no idea what your feelings would be if it happened to you. It means you have no idea what your government would do. It means that we are trodding on new ground here, and feeling our way along as best we can. It means we may make mistakes. It also means that regardless of how you feel about the actions since then, by constantly arguing the stupid stuff over it, you are trivializing the deaths of some 3000 innocent people. In my book, and maybe no one else's, that makes YOU stupid, arrogant, biased, and insensitive.

many seem to have ignored my last words on my dead topic. please read to understand what i wrote about mistake saying accident and not incident. i know that many feel pain and hurt from 911 but to look for solutions with anger is not the best thing. my account is almost gone so i will continue this topic. i am not saying that america and americans suck. i enjoyed speaking to many people. it just seems that many here just want to unload hatred to others who do not support a way of thinking. you say you want freedom yet act communist to me and my opinion. i agree that political topics should be avoided but felt to express something and maybe get someone to maybe see other side of story. i talk not about a terrorists side of story but victim of retaliation. would i want person responsible to be hurt. yes. would i want thousands people suffer in process. no. that is why i say america act like terrorist. not thinking about vitcims of the attacks to get osama. i feel bad for you and for friend down street who lost uncle that day. but more victims for response to terrorist attack.

Getting others to see the other side of a story is a wonderful thing, merely chose your wording carefully. What may not seem offensive to you will enflame the emotions of others. Opionions should be shared, but always tread lightly. Stating americans = terrorist? was kind of blatant and irritating. It's not the message that you necessarily get negged for, it's more often than not going to be the way in which you are phrasing your message.
Regards.

recently I have avoided posting on the flamable "political" threads, but I feel I need to say a few things here.
First of all, you may be correct in thinking that america is reacting poorly to what happened to us, and you may think that we are doing things that we shouldn't. You may also think there are much better ways of solving the problem.
I have not read every post you made User3471, but in the ones I have read, you make no constructive suggestions on how we should handle the situation and protect ourselves from future acts of terrorism.
If you come on here and simply say that america is a terrorist, but do not give explicit examples of why, or examples of how we could better deal with the situation, expect to get flamed, to get negative antipoints shoved where the sun dont shine, and eventually, probably banned after you get enough neg points.
If you dont make reasonable suggestions on how we might deal with the problem without being seen as "terrorist", then it seems to many of us that all you are trying to do is piss people off. If that seems to be the case, you will get tons of neg points.
It always is possible that you will get negative points anyway, but some thought to how you make your case, and some suggestions to improve our "terrorist" behavior would probably lighten people up a bit.

an example i have in mind that show how american is terrorist is when us go over to country and treat people to say where osama is or bad things happen. these people not know where osama is. yet us still push them around. i also read in papers about dispute between austarlia and america for resources. amercia treat australia for resource. also happen with canada and resource. is that not type of terrorist. attack for something not yours. i am sure i know not all story but australia is good country no. why treat australia. i not say america only country who act like terrorist. china terrorist over japan. and other country who remove army after 50 years in other country. i agree that my title to post was not best to people. i guess should work on english more. i remember watching american movie pearl harbor and think that yes america was hurt and japan wrong but attack innocent people in return. i just try to understand why to victim people for point

What media source did those reports come from? I am not doubting you, I would just like to see the source, find out what I can about the incidents you mention. That way we can make a better judgement about what you are saying.
Thanks in advance.
