Boston Marathon

[luvs2lick1385]

What were you doing on the 78th floor of the WTC?

I'm sure if I'd had a similar experience I wouldn't be too fond of them either but I don't think they were after you specifically, because you're a Jew. You didn't "earn" any right at all - that's a pretty strange way to look at things, how did you "earn" anything?

However, by that thinking, anyone who survived the Oklahoma bombings would blame it on American extremists and hate all other Americans.

I was I.T. manager for a brokerage house. I worked there for 6 years. I wasn't there for the first bombing. I'm done with this topic. I get too upset and it brings back too many bad memories. I was so affected by the Boston bombings I had to take the next couple of days off from work. I have an appointment with my therapist this evening to help me sort this all out. Unless you have walked in my shoes, you couldn't begin to understand how I feel or what I am going through. I relive 9/11 everyday of my life. some days are better than some but it's something I'll have to deal with for the rest of my life.

Then with all respect intended, you really, really shouldn't be coming on boards like this or practically any social networks where you're going to have differing points of views, to quell those demons - or at the very least, avoid these topics and look at some tranny porn. While emotions will run strong and I'm confident everybody on this board condemns whomever done this act of terrorism, racial attacks, asking for countries to be bombed or bringing up your own race, can only lead to rebuttals.

This thread shouldn't have turned political or racial until more is known.

Bring it on Seanchai and Robert Louis too. So my spelling of muslim was a typo....One question for both of you. How many times did you have run down 78 floors of a skyscraper because muslim scum flew a jet into your building. I couldn't bullshit about something like this but I work on 78 floor of One World Trade Center. Thank god I got out but i lost many friends and associates that day. So if I'm a bit bitter about muslims so be it, I earned that right. I never met a catholic, protestant or any other religion hate me because I'm a Jew, just problems with muslims so to hell with them.

I have much sympathy for your specific situation and also loathe those who attacked our country on 9/11. I am the last person here many would call a bleeding heart liberal too. But to scapegoat a religion for the acts of a few would be wrong unless you disagree. I fall short occasionally myself but am trying to improve.

In lick's defense, PTSD and it's effects are real. At the same time 9/11 was carried out by an organization with specific beliefs, goals, and intentions. To deny ourselves of those facts is a disservice to our own safety.

We may not agree on everything on this forum, however I believe that we are all on the same side. I'm sure nobody here is a closet anarchist or otherwise evil human being (like those responsible for yesterday).

Yesterday's attack should be a reminder to everyone that we are still at war.
I hate to say it, but it is true.

At war with whom?

[eccentricBlue]

At war with whom?

Those who target civilians and hide among the masses. The cowards who send brainwashed youth out to martyr themselves, and the countries hiding in the shadows willing to lend aid and resources because they despise our free society.

Sorry , just noticed something off topic...DINO - is your signature Dog Soldiers? Cuz thats awesome

There's no war. Just a stupid conflict. If you want to know more about a real war, go speak with a Vet from WW2, Cold War, and Korean War.

The bombings appear to be something more like a Tim McVeigh incident, than some stupid mysterious terrorist cell.

Thanks. My awesome sig is from one of the lesser awesome Howling sequels. Dog Soldiers is great though.

The guy who directed Dog Soldiers was in the class above me at school. It was shot a few miles from here and has some Geordie actors.
