The Greedy Capitalist: David Veksler's Homepage :: Archives

Tyranny and despotism can be exercised by many, more rigourously, more vigourously, and more severely, than by one.-- Andrew Johnson

Where were you on 9/11?

I’ve been wondering what possible motivation even an Islamic nut would have to bomb an irrelevant and pacifist group like the UN. According to one UK-based fundamentalist group, the UN is just as “quango organisation doing the bidding of the US.”
In related news, neither New York City nor the major media networks plan any special events to mark the upcoming second-year anniversary of September 11th. Not everyone has forgotten the occasion however, as the nuts mentioned above have planned a celebration of the “Magnificent 19” for the occasion.
What kind of society would not only forget about the murder of so many innocents but allow the same groups that created these terrorists to celebrate their atrocities? Britain is significantly more guilty of being a terrorist breeding ground than the U.S., but both are infested with the same plague: the terrorist-loving, America-hating trend of multiculturalism.

Are you saying that these (sick) individuals can be forced not to meet? I am just as sickened by the glorification of the 19 hijackers, but freedom of assembly is freedom of assembly. Unless you think there are...exceptions...to this fundamental right. If I own property or legitimately rent the rights to property I may do as I please on that property so long as I am not aggressing anyone. These people have that same right.

Haha, yea, "multiculturalism" is sooooo evil. I mean, all of those hijackers attended "multicultural" classes in Saudi Arabia.

And as far as "sick celebrations go," alot of people celebrated the bombing of Heroshima and Nagasaki...

Wow, profound words... do you have any original thought yourself?

Besides, he's the one that controls the comment section. If he didn't want "unsolicited opinions" he should've just closed the section.

Maybe I should be equally as vain: "don't cast your pearls before swine." I mean, it also comes from the holy text of a cult.
