who gives a fuck about 9/11 (4 Viewers)

[zombie omie jay]

What I mean by that is that it is easily ignored by larger powers to no punishment so what's the fucking point if it doesn't apply to higher powers

yes this is another point
george bush should be tried in the hague
alongside osama
etc

in almost 10 years, the USPATRIOT Act has facilitated the prosecution of.... FIFTEEN TERRORISTS

 

[zombie omie jay]

just because there is a precedence in them flouting the law, doesnt mean it should continue


how long until gillard (lizard) stops adhering to high court rulings etc slippery slope

Have you seen waf's FOI request about lizards in parliament

 

[funkshen]

the thing about international law is that it's often left up to party state interpretation and enactment (e.g. george bush's 2001 presidential military order)

all im saying is
that i dont feel empathy at all
towards the 3000 people who died in 9/11
any more than i feel empathy towards the countless millions of other people who have died due to the actions of others
and that the us'as actions have been far far worse than 9/11 (9/11 times a thousand) and that due to the usa being a relatively democratic country, these actions have been sanctioned by the majority of the population,hence they are complicit and i dont care if they die

we held the german population to account after ww1 for the actions of the kaiser

we invaded and destroyed iraq for the actions of a dictator lol why dont we hold the public of the usa/australia to account for the criminal actions of their democratically elected leaders

If the term "working families" wasn't so freely abused by politicians, it would be easier to empathise. Not saying I don't empathise at all...

they are not sanctioned by the populous you know full well the State doesn't get written signatures of every voter before they decide to go topple a democracy to install dictators

Very few Americans would okay that jesus christ

We should never have done that because

you know

that's severely retarded

So I have no response to this

 

[zombie omie jay]

not saying the solution is to force them into some sort of Versailles treaty lol just highlighting the hypocrisy

and that i dont care about a few dead americans

 

[Lolsmith]

In all honesty I don't really care all that much either I probably wouldn't if I was an American either but I just can't say that civilians deserve to die due to actions of the State

 

[zombie omie jay]

its just annoying because the news this week has been all omg 10yrs since 9/11 never 5get so saddddd

and i dont care

arbitrary dead americans big woop

plenty of other people have been killed before and since and it will continue to happen especially if the usa keeps invading people lol
