Tilted Paranoia is ghosts, government plots, etc., not a person making wild assertions with nothing to back it up that INSULT thousands of people who lost their lives either directly, or helping with the disaster. That is not paranoia- that is an affront to reason, intelligence, and basic use of rational thought.
Secondly, "as simple as" planes crashing into buildings? Are you saying that without a government conspiracy for you to chase, over 3,000 people lost their lives over "simple" airplane crashes?

Based on the fact that- and I'm being honest here- you're stupid enough to out yourself as having been banned from here before... I question the validity of your statement. People get banned because they're underage or don't follow the rules. They're very easy to follow, and only require the most basic of human intellgence to master. Hell, there are about a dozen total MORONS (that I am directl aware of) who post all the time and have never once made an infraction. If those people can manage, so can everyone else.

I find it disturbing that I would get edited for making one dumb cynical joke about a lifestyle.... but this is allowable.
I'm almost confused.
There seems to be some sort of double standard here.
Gay jokes are taboo.
I let that situation rest though because after contemplating the comment, I felt that it might of offended less than 4 percent of the population.....but certainly not the mature and intelligent citizens of an entire nation.
I got banned twice simply for criticizing the moderators judgement in other matters and asking questions about their quick knee jerk reactions to ban people ....... which in itself is ludicrous and unjustified.
Ok....back to the real subject.
You're allowing people to make insulting comments about Nationality and clearly disrespect the victims of fanatical murdering lunatics along with the survivors and fellow citizens of America.
I guess it would be okay to make a comment about the Lockerbie incident and now Spain ?
How about that genocide in Rwanda and Sudan ???
Let's disrespect and insult the citizens from those Nations that have suffered from brutal fanatical regimes and terror....by insinuating that they had it coming....they should have known better....or that they deserved it.
Yeah.....that's allowed.
uhm....NO THANKS
I don't believe I'll stoop to that low lying piece of shit level.

I agree that is was a totally horrific thing to say, and that will be dealt with accordingly. Did you read my initial post and how pissed I was? Just because one Moderator looks over it, doesn't mean that it will not be dealt with. This IS NOT allowed, as you seem to think it was- you just caught it before a Moderator did. Chill out a bit, hmm?
Your being banned for criticizing moderators in the past notwithstanding, you're still behaving like a child, and I again question the validity of your claims. Just because you fuck up doesn't mean we're jerks. We were all members once, too, you know.

Jeeze, way to take things the entirely wrong way, guys. What I meant is that the US has spent decades policing the world and generally not being very nice to countries in the Middle East. Civilian casualties caused by your military are huge. Your intelligence should have realised that retaliation was going to happen, sooner or later, and when it did, they failed to act. There was major breakdown in some area, although where I doubt we'll ever know.
I apologise if anyone took offence at my previous post (which is kinda obvious they did).
Thagastray, I'm hailing from Perth. That's in one of those countries that has suffered from brutal fanatical regimes of terror. I knew members of the Kingsley Football Club who were killed in the Bali nightclub bombings. Which, incidentally, was caused by a group of terrorists who wanted to kill Americans. Problem is they got 80 of us and only a handful of you.

When every person who responds to your comment is offended by it, that's fairly significant, and not just "taking it the wrong way". Perhaps you should reconsider your wording to be more appropriate next time you post about something that could VERY easily be an insult to an entire nation of people- or indeed anyone with a brain in their head.
I allowed this thread to exist because I believe that we must shine a light on "unpopular" topics such as this until everyone sees it for what it is.
If anyone wants to further this conversation, start a new thread with some actual substance, not some person screaming at us via keyboard.
What a horrible tragedy, and what a shitty way to talk about it. Who'd I lose to 9-11? I lost over 3,000 fellow Americans- hundreds of whom gave their lives to save anyone they could.
Anyone with questions, please feel free to PM me. Thank you.
