bombs in London

oh girl, then listen to this shit. i was on my way into work this morning listening to a radio station. they were discussing the situation in London when they took a call from some woman who's response was "well the people in London are not as devasted as we were on 911, this doesn't even compare"
now that, my dear, made me ashamed to be human...to be american more than anything. can you believe this egostical bitch felt our American pain was more than what they are facing right now? terror is terror, who the hell cares how many were killed...people were killed period, how horrible.
thank god another caller got through, i kept getting a busy signal. this second lady said everything i was thinking. calling the first person on her ignorance and egotism and also that we americans don't know how to look beyond our borders...how very true. i would hate our country if i were another country too...

 

i think this same thought is going through many people's heads. my sister and i were discussing this on our ways to work....what inside of someone triggers and makes them want to be destructive instead of a solution to those around them....

 

yeah marie. i understand. i try to judge people on being people and it fucking SUCKS to me that some people dont get it....

that we are all human and countries and everything else are made up social contructs. that woman on the phone that you mentioned- i dunno, i didnt hear her but i know what you mean.... i prolly should be glad right now that i didnt hear her cause i just feel so extra sensitive and just sad.

i feel like i wanna help people and i just dont get it.... and i dont k now what to do so i just sit here sad.

 

wow, that is infurating, really
just because its not as large scale as 911 doesnt mean anything. innocent people died and thats that. who cares about comparison!!
man that pisses me off

people shouldnt be thinking if terriorist attacks are on par with 911, thats fucking crap.

 

well i think this is hitting many people the way 911 did, right to the soul and making us empty inside...today is London's 911. its horrible to have someone take away your sense of security. i have been very upset about it all day too and instead i am in my office where not a person is concerned...shit it wasnt our own people...so it doesnt matter. its crazy! sheesh....if you want to help...look into volunteering options in your area....people everywhere need help...

 

no doubt...that would be like saying...lady i know your son was killed last night but you have no idea what i am feeling since mine was killed in a more aggressive way. what the fuck....pain is pain.

 

I appreciate what you are saying, but please don't say that

 

haha im sorry.... i laughed at that. prolly shouldnt have

 

why?

 

indeed.

i agree. people have to compare whats bigger and better when it comes to bombings?? thats fucking sick. too bad you didnt get into that station and told that woman youre two cents.

 

my two cents...lol...i would have given them more than that...

 

they are there..

ok, a few people.. but I don't think it could be so big interest of media as in this case..

 

It came across as a bit too earnest and monumental. Like i said i appreciate what you are saying, but

 

how so...when all i was saying is that apples to apples...when did you have terrorist attacks previous to these...
when did we on our soil previous to 911? i am sure your people felt as ours did then too...
you dont think this is monumental?

 

I don't even know what to say. My heart goes out to all of you out in Britain, it truly does. It's horrible that the G8 talks can't go on in peace, and you can't even enjoy news of the Olympics without a bunch of fundamentalists messing things up. *sigh*

Matthew, I could kiss you for your comments.

 

Just imagine the headlines Londons 9/11 what glee those bastards would sharing with each other. I always use the wrong choice of words, earnest maybe not.. possibly a bit too profound for the situation that we have. I am not wishing to take anything away from the gravity of this..but even so imho we should not attach to many weighty labels to this. I probably sound like a right heartless git.

 

Cheers m'dear (that means thanks for your kind comment) :&

 

and that is why we are each allowed our opinions on matters.
i dont imagine headlines according to my opinions...i simply state the fact that people are suffering in the same ways we did that day due to an invasion.
and on that note....i apologize that you found something in my words to upset you. that indeed was not my intention..
*opens beer* ah.....this is much better.

 

*opens can of Papsi max* cheers..

I am not going to ramble on any further about it, you did not upset me, i just let out a *sigh* when i read it.. Explaining a *sigh* is hard.

 

no not really...just write *sigh*
