No where did I state "We shouldn't remember one group" or "we should remember one group more. That's just some BS made up by a couple guys. As Americans we hold a little different approach of remembrance to those that looked to intentionally do us harm. We use it as a rallying cry. No different than Europe remembering D-Day. The loss of the individual lives from Natural disasters should not be "remembered more" or even worse "not remembered at all" as a couple gentlemen on here have asserted in the attempt to put words in another's mouth. Funny you take exception with "being accused" but could care less when your accusing people of things they never said and deep down you most likely knew that was not the intent, you were simply trolling for a response. Not that I'd EVER expect you to be forthright enough to admit that.

Were their lives less valuable because of the way of their untimely death? I don't think anyone is making such a point. 9/11 just was a result of human evil, and of an hostile attack on the country, which certainly is more impactful for a nation as a striking force of nature. Of course that changes contemplation. That has nothing to do with valueing people's life differently.

It was asked if we/you/someone remembers people killed by Hurricane katrina also. Your response was/is that there is a difference between an attack from a foreign assailant and a natural disaster. *IF* that *doesn't* mean that the victims of the two should be look at differently and why even bring it up? Just say we should remember both the same.

Let's see if we can work toward self-discovery. Do you think my point meant that folks killed during Katrina shouldn't be remembered as I was first accused of? (Answer to yourself, not here) I further apologize to the forum by stating nothing has changed in my absence. Apparently SSF has learned to disengage when you go this route. I think I'll follow his fine example. RE: Never Forget - GMDino - 09-12-2019 (09-12-2019, 08:42 PM)bfine32 Wrote: I apologize and withdraw my earlier accusation.

Explain the difference when it comes to remembering the victims or there is none and your point was moot.

Roy Cooper’s vetoes on the budget and a few other hot-button issues — until at least next year. Apparently (from what I saw on Twitter) the GOP would call a session, see all 21 Democrats showed up (just enough to block the veto) and then the GOP would call for a recess. Over and over and over. For a couple days. If they ain't cheatin' they ain't winnin' it seems. |
