Also let's be honest here, if 911 had ended up only killing a bunch of bankers, generals, and congressmen we all would be cheering. Bin laden would deserve a medal. It's all the collateral damage that nmakes it bad.

Also bin laden had like zero real beef with the us pre-invasion. His list of bad stuff was basically the us supports israel and also has too many military near mecca.

I aassume they blew up the towers because they thought that's where the jews liVed

actually it had a lot to do with the abandonment of the mujahideen (from which al quaeda was created) after the end of the soviet-afghan war as well as the abandonment of the afghan people to whom much was promised, but little delivered. and a lot of it had to do with the CIA's preference of financing more radical militias because of their increased likelihood to actually fight the soviets; then in the post war power vacuum those radicals took power (because there was no stable opposition, the northern alliance who would end up our allies a decade later were financially ignored because of their tendency to only defend their home region) and afghanistan was hosed. it became a magnet for radicals and their ideologies which spawned a vitriolic organization with a radical agenda and the need to commit acts to satisfy its members culminating in 9/11

tl;dr we financed people who hated us and after they won their war they turned on us. we were aware this could happen

the book "ghost wars" is all about everything that led up to 9/11 starting in 1978 and ending 9/10/01

it was really informative and i think it won the pulitzer prize

Women are stupid loving cunts. Their only purpose is to be used and abused for our pleasure. They should go through constant pain, physical and emotional, because it makes us hard. They should be constantly degraded and humiliated. They should be constantly reminded on how they aren't good enough and they should always strive to be better.Their only purpose is to be the stupid, big tit, big rear end bimbos that they are meant to be. Women are just objects with tits and rear end that we use to relive our anger and sexual frustration on. All cunts should be aware of their place and all cunts should be happy with it. cunts have no rights, cunts have no limits, cunts exist only for our pleasure. I'm a feminist.

man, you have no issue posting abhorrent things

that's sad, but i guess you figure the ends justify the means, right?

that's sorta the whole argument we're having

you love peace and freedom so american burning down the world to achieve it is fine, just like you posting misquotes filled with offensive poo poo is fine

i personally disagree, but whatever man. i guess you're edgier and cooler

one time i was smoking weed with a street dealer in a little cosy spot in an alley, and cops rolled up to us cause some dude in an office building had spotted us smoking there daily and been calling them over and over. they did the standard ‘confiscating the weed’ and then cuffed the black guy and told him he was arrested. i wasnt arrested, but the dude searched me and opened up my wallet – finding a bunch of various class A drugs in there. speed, ketamine, mdma, etc. the dude then proceeded to ask me if the black guy had just sold them to me (he hadnt), and when I denied this he told me I didn’t have to protect him, and dragged the dude off into a cop car never to be seen again. i wasn’t even given a warning. the dude hadnt even sold me the weed. i was giving him weed.

defending someone's criticism of the united states is the same as defending someone's praise of mao zedong

it is impossible to separate ideas and all people are 1 dimensional figures defined by their most outrageous statements

The reason terrorists targetrd the east coast is because there's actual buildings and landmarks full of people. What does California have to be blown up? The golden gate bridge? The Hollywood sign? La's just one big boring sprawl, like the world's largest strip mall
