9/11

That's exactly where you stated that, stupid.

how on earth did you come to that conclusion? i am merely noting how you cannot compare two disasters of such different natures.

I would like to firstly quash the conventional nonsense about these attacks being the supposed results of longer Arab jihadists 'hating our way of life' and attacking us on this vague fantasy - the reasons for the attacks spanned from the U.S. support for Israel coupled with the U.S. having military bases on Arab soil and general western interference in the region.... and i'm not justifying it before anyone plays that card, i'm simply pointing out and warning what certain actions we take can result in.

i don't think you can compare natural disasters to deliberate acts of murder. terrorism is at the opposite end of the spectrum to tsunamis/floods/earthquakes, how can you even say 9/11 is overhyped or 'blown out of proportion'? would you like to say that to the victim's families?

I would like to say it to the politicians who use the bogey of terrorism (which is blown out of proportion anyway) in order to scare us into supporting their foreign wars along with the destruction of our ancient civil liberties in order to 'keep us safe'. As for the conspiracy part of the topic (not directed to you but to others), there are many questions to be asked which are not being answered or covered which leads many to suspect behind the scenes dirt, which to be fair usually turns out to be true.

The event itself, tragic and horrid of course.

I feel bad for all victims.
May god bless!

The build up to your conclusion strongly hinted towards deaths occurred from natural disasters are meaningless in comparison to deaths at the hand of man. More people are killed by single natural disasters, many of which die slow agonising deaths from drowning, fires, electrocution to disease and famine. I think it was this posted that made you seem appear as though you though terrorism was worse:

Though 9/11 was unnecessary when you consider how many innocent people were involved, it is "blown out of proportion" when you consider how many people die in natural disasters, especially when many people who who were killed in the 9/11 attacks died quickly with fewer numbers of suffering. It does hint that their deaths are meaningless when terrorism or man were not involved, when natural disasters are just as bad as they can take people by surprise just the same as terrorist attacks - though terrorism has existed for many years prior to the attacks. So I can see why people were a little confused as you do seem to suggest man has to be involved to make the deaths of thousands worthwhile and meaningful.

Plus we could create a whole debate about the number of people left homeless, killed by gun or by disease and famine, at the hands of the U.S. Government and Military, but that would drag on
