Wake me up when terrorists start blowing themselves up in American city crowds ...
Until then you insulting and demeaning the efforts of our troops on the ground by trying to compare apples to anvils.
No, right now I think Philadelpia, city of brotherly love, has that crown.
Detroit used to have it, but the place is (I am informed) losing population so fast that people don't have time to kill one another anymore.
And of course that's what it takes with some of y'all. Heaven forbid we be proactive about anything.
And last I checked, terrorism has a 3000 bodycount in one shot on US soil against civilian noncombatants. How big of an explosion is it you're looking for?
So true....

i neg rep'd you because thats disgustingI hope you got the joke Kirk....apparently DiveCon was offended and neg repped me
and remember, their previous attempt was 8 years prior to 9/11I'm not saying that we shouldn't be proactive about protecting our own streets. Where did you come up with that?
What I am saying is that there is a HUGE difference between what we are facing in the Iraqi streets as opposed to our own ... it doesn't even register on my radar and it's a silly comparison.
Coming up on 7 years ago now terrorists executed a long planned well orchestrated attack to fly planes into financial and military targets here in the U.S. To them, the civilians were icing on the cake.
What I am looking for is one, just one suicide bomber in a city. One legit terrorist with explosives strapped to themselves to detonate in a crowd ... like what we've been facing in Iraq. Or one legit car bomb like the ones that kill dozens at a time in Iraq.
Until that happens, to compare sporadic crime in our streets to vicious suicide and car bombings, that can literally kill hundreds at a time like what goes on in Iraq, is disingenuous at best.
i neg rep'd you because thats disgusting
and i doubt kirk thought you were joking
a disgusting joke, is STILL disgustingsays the guy who once told me to get a sense of humor?
how could anyone not get the joke DC? no one is that stupid... oh wait.. you are...

7 years ago we were attacked by 19 guys with boxcutters, but the Republicans will continue to suckle the teet of 9/11 forever.

a disgusting joke, is STILL disgusting
and i would neg rep you again for that stupid comment, if i could
no, because i dont attack family members of politiciansI suppose that's one way to handle it instead of just saying I didn't find it funny.
I bet if I were a con and the joke were directed at obama you'd have found it hysterical...
no, because i dont attack family members of politicians
i hated it when it was done to clintons daughter and the same for the bush twins
and i guess you didnt see me defend you when you posted your pic in that other thread either
So it has to be specifically a suicide bomber in a city.
Let's just downplay 9/11 as nothing since it happened 7 years ago.
How about Timothy McVeigh? Work better for you? Or doesn't he count as a criminal?
but, isnt it a little late, if we are getting the same thing here that was happening in Baghdad?To be able to compare the streets of Baghdad to the streets of Chicago or D.C. ... in a sense, yes.
Let's speak for ourselves. What I said, is IMO a fair assessment of what was done on 9/11 and wasn't meant to "downplay" it.
It seems like you are missing my point. I'm not taking the position that terrorist or the threat thereof doesn't exist at some capacity in the U.S.
I'm saying it's completely different here as opposed to Iraq. In Iraq a bombing can happen at any time ... and it frequently does. The last time we were attacked was 7 years ago, prior to that we had Oklahoma and the other WTC bombing and though they are deadly they remain highly isolated. I can count on my hands the number of terrorist attacks we've had here in the last 20 years. I would need a heck of a lot more appendages to count the number of bombings Iraq has seen in the last 5. Sure we need to remain vigilant here but let's be realistic and not compare crime here, which is what the OP addressed, to what it's like in Iraq.
