Never forget.
:salute2: Never Forget! :salute2:
Here are some pictures I took of Ground Zero when I was in NY in June 2008
It was very emotional to see that big open hole amongst all of the other scyscrapers, and to think of what really happened there.
And some pictures of FDNY Ten House, the closest firestation to the Twin Towers / Ground Zero.
They lost 6 brave firefighters that day.

Many messages are put up during occasions like these, but I think this message is most suiting for Americans in the post 9/11 era:

Sadly they say money makes the world go round....
They say the site will be a true testament to the American Spirit, but is that what we want our spirit to say?
My ever lasting condolences to all the fellow Americans lost that day, and for those still fighting aboard.

Actually, it may very well be. When people choose to abbreviate things the sometimes lose the meaning. WTC
This was the World Trade Center Towers. It was attacked for that very reason, money.
It should be reopened as a World Trade Center and continue to bring fair open trade among nations.
That is one way to tell the extremists: "Hello, still open for Business."

Gotta love the good old Port Authority.

Maybe the fact that nothing's been built is a more accurate symbol of how things are than anything else.

No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?
So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics
intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be
allowed to profile certain people.. They must conduct random searches
of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper
identification, secret agents who are members of the President's
security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal
of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim
Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of
profiling.
FOOT NOTE: Fort Hood Texas, another Muslim 39 years old killed 13
people and wounded 30 some odd others. Does this fit the profile?
NOW OUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF IS TELLING US THAT THE YOUNG MUSLIM THAT
ATTEMPTED TO BLOW UP A NORTHWEST/DELTA JET AS IT APPROACHED DETROIT
ON CHRISTMAS DAY WAS, "AN ISOLATED INCIDENT." YOU HAVE GOT TO BE
KIDDING! MY FATHER USED TO SAY, "DON'T sPIT IN MY FACE AND TELL ME
IT'S RAINING."

Racial profiling isnt a solution, but it would be a source of problems.
And let's be honest. We dont want to live in a world where people have to chose a religion to be put on their papers.
And Muslims, if you knew a little before falling head first in bigottery come in all colors and shapes. I can bring you white, black, brown, blond, asians... And all of them would Muslims.
And Muslim can disguise themselves in warfare to look like the enemy. You can even serve pork chops in airports and force people to eat some... The terrorists will still get through...
So what dont you stop the propaganda and this stupid and useless racist bigot BS you are talking about...
If you base our security on profiling, made by racist idiots... Then our planes would be falling from the skies and landing on our faces all the time.

As a christian male and having spent the last ten years in various muslim countries I am an expert on what it is like to be racially profiled.
You miss the point of my post. It is time for the PC bull to end that your kind
keep harping about if America is to survive. Unless the social nanny state is dismantled there many be
another Uncivil War.
I would encourage you to read "Rules for Radical Conservatives"

I dont see the point...
What? you have been racially profiled while you were in these "Muslim countries"?
Is that your argument?
If you get attacked by idiots with Machetes in an African country, does it mean that you have to attack the people from this country with machetes when they come to your own country?
I say that rich countries have to show the way. Let the poor get corrupted, they are weak. But the strong have to stay strong and they have to show the way for those who had less luck...
