Paradigm shift on 9/11

[JihadOnTheRiver]

I think this is an excellent article. It gives me more reason to curl up into my little "America is great and everybody else can suck our as.s" ball. Oh, and Canada sucks...

Instead of riots in the streets of America I believe there would have been a revelation in the hearts of Americans.

Did I miss something? I don't recall any riots in America after 9/11.

There's nothing I can do about this thread. My mod powers don't allow me to move/delete/edit outside of the OOT and WPT forums.

As for moving stuff out of OOT, I would only do that with a thread that is poker (or sports or politics) related. A good example of such a thread is one that openly acknowledges in the title that it "It's KIND of PO*ER related"

Which part of the article is more out of touch with the reality of the world?

I believe that had President Bush, leader and spokesperson for the most powerful country in the world, offered forgiveness to those who planned and carried out the attacks of Sept. 11, it would have led to the most significant shift ever toward world peace.

Most terrorists have a strong ethical code. They know and respect the value of human life — at least as it applies to their family, friends and members of their own communities. They are able to perform the evil deeds because they have convinced themselves that those they kill are, in fact, less than human...

Around the world enemies of the United States would have been incapacitated by their own case of cognitive dissonance as they were forced to admit: Americans are human after all. As their beliefs about Americans changed, so too would their actions have changed.

Come on, you know you [censored] up on this one. I can understand if you didn't follow the Chuddo thread but that post would only have any meaning to the OOT crowd.

I couldn't care less about what you do on oot. my point is that as a moderator you should be responsible enough to not encourage posting in the wrong forum by getting involved in the thread.

C'mon man, you're taking the moderating thing a bit too seriously. But then again, so do most. I still think they are more or less unnecessary.

I agree, but since they are officials at the site, I think it's reasonble to hold them to a higher standard. besides, he's a real stickler about non-oot posts and things he thinks are unnecessary on the wpt forum.

[jokerthief]

There is no value in the WPT forum. Just save yourself the agony.

This article makes me even more embarrased to be associated with what we politely refer to Eastern Canada. Please nuke them and their leftist paper. Thx.
