I will not preach, though I would like to. So many have died, and so many more shall. Religion is not to blame, countries are not to blame, governments are not to blame, different peoples and races are not to blame. What should be blamed is the narrow mindedness of all peoples. And so, that is what should be fixed. No one knows who is the perpetrator of the atrocity in New York. Yet fingers have been pointed. Calls for blood have been shouted across the nation. And I ask, "Will it bring them back?" We, the recently attacked and shaken say, destroy the Afghans, the Arabs, the Muslims, and why? It is the same as saying, "Let's go kill some people for our cause!", yet that is exactly what has happened. Do not preach about God smiting the wicked, for then you become one of them. Though it is soul renching, praise *God* for sparing those who were spared, and ask for the forgivness of the guilty. And, jump on the United States to obliterate a nation, instead, ask them to use that force to force all other nations to gather in the name of peace, so that all may be united against those who would try to tear it asunder. I just visited a school today and heard the most horrific things from the children there: "They shouldn't be giving us textbooks, they should be giving us
f!@#$%^ guns. I say we just nuke the h@#$ out of the middle east. We should blow those d@#$ f!@#$%^
arabs of the face of the planet." I was horrified to hear this. I worry about the safety of the world as I'm sure many do. Yes, I weep for America, I love this land, I was born here and it is all I've ever known, but I will not condone the destruction of another people. The only valid reason they can come up with to do such a thing is that they are trying to send a message. Well, send that message through a heavy peace treaty, and then worry about those who break it. But, before you take sides and yell and rant, PLEASE, think, think about everything, think long and hard, and just keep thinking, and see what you come up with.
I wish to point out that again, I am not trying to preach, I am an American citizen born and raised, and I am only trying to get people to think about everything that has happened from every possible angle.
I pray for the souls of all those lost in Tuesday's events, including those Everquestarians lost; I know everyone will be sorely missed.
Remember, look from every angle, ask, listen, explore, love, cry, forgive, yell, calm, speak, smile, frown, feel, and think. Please, never attack.
Thank you.
Horrifying Terrorist Attacks on the U.S.
This is not game news, but is more important. I am putting this up here because many people are trying to figure out what is going on and this way we can share what we know. Here's what I know so far:
- At about 8:45 a plane crashed into one of the World Trade Center towers. 14 minutes later, andther plane crashed into the second tower.
- Another plane crashed into the Pentagon soon after that.
- A bomb went off at the State Department.
- Both World Trade Center Towers have now completely collapsed, presumably killing everyone who was unable to evacuate in time, and also the firemen and police who were at the towers trying to help people evacuate.
- Another plane has gone down somewhere in Western Pennsylvania. Possibly just a coincidence or possibly an attempt to hyjack it to another target.
Words cannot express the horror.
