Just three points:
-This is not a board dedicated only to videogames, unlike other closed ones, we can go off topic sometimes without problems. That's whty we like here.
-This thread was coming, we knew that. Like it or not, you can't blame anyone for posting it.
-If you don't have anything positive to say... stay out. Simple as that. Coming here for flaming is immature.
Rid's right. Naruto, of course, meant no harm. In fact.. I see it as an act of generosity, if you ask me. He didn't have to post it... I'm not even sure he has that many direct connections to the US. Do you Narry? <huggles her minions both> It was meant well... and it's true that we can go off topic occasionally.. the Professor is also very generous. He tolerates many of us on even our bad days. And it is thanks to him and his dreams that we even still have this board. We should all be as tolerant and generous as the Professor.
This post was comming, yes it was. And it some it's very serious and to others it's not a serious subject at all. We should, at least for now, take into account the people who think it's serious.. the people on this board aren't trying to sell us things. Naruto wasn't selling an american flag pin. He was supporting the U.S. on his own terms. And I think he's sweet for doing so. ^_^ Y'can't blame someone for posting it. If it wasn't Naruto.. it would have been someone else... promise.

Last week I used the fruitopia machine, and it gave me an orangey instead of apple juice. I looked down at my orangey and said:
"September 3, 2002. America will never forget."
I agree with Hungry Wolf. Just because America did something or got into someone elses affair, those people NEVER deserved to die. But I do think we should move on. The terrorists wants us to be terrified and scared to do things. So I say, lets talk about video games, anime, and everything else we like. My praires go out to each and every victims' family of the victims.
What I can say to this is that it's sort of like running over your boss's little girl because he fired you. The kid did nothing, why involve her? Run over your BOSS! Go for the source.. fight honourably. I mean.. most of us here are fans of fight games, yes? That's one thing I gotta say.. they do stress honorable fights, don't they? Don't involve innocents in a battle that's not theirs to fight.

Anyway, what I was trying to say, is that the government of USA had this one coming...
If the US Government stayed out of others problems, none of thins thing would happen in the first place, am I clear enough?
generally, when the us govt. is too involved, people hate the us. but when the us govt. stays out of business, or even extends the offer, the other country can't stand on its own. like it or not, it's the cold truth.

As I said, I feel sorry for the families and all, but as Tashoku said, this has become another commercial trick to sell things...
then don't look at it commercially for yourself. set by example. it takes a stronger person to walk the path less travelled than to join the crowd, or even sit on the fence, griping about the crowd.

And let's not forget that the goverment of USA is no saint in here, rememeber all the wars USA has been involved? something to think
nobody deserves terrorism. NOBODY. saying someone got what they deserves, when that's what they "deserved", is pretty harsh to say.
sorry to single you out, but a lot of non-american people hold a similar philosophy to you. it's not exactly a positive one...
it's like saying "man, i really hope that asshole's grandmother dies tomorrow! he deserves it!"

Well, I guess it's my turn.
It really sucks to see this stuff on TV all day again. I'm getting really tired of it. It's already burned into the brain of everyone watching TV a year ago. Nobody wants to go through that again.
Someone said that it's all commercial now. I believe that. I didn't buy any flags or anything a year ago, because I'm not a really patriotic person, and if I did, I would feel kinda guilty about buying stuff now when everything is screwed up. I feel, if your gonna be a patriot, be a patriot everyday, not when you country gets attacked.
As for the attacks themselves. Well, I'm not saying that we deserved it because I feel that NOBODY deserves to die because some ignorant fuckers doesn't like us, and want's to spread his radical views all over the world. All I'm saying is that we should have expected something to happen sooner or later. Of course, nobody expected some airplanes to go into the Twin Towers. I expected suicide bombers at a chain of McDonalds or something.
I'm just glad that America found out how vulnerable she is (like I've been telling people back when I was in High School, but did they listen....NO) I'm just not happy about how we had to find out. I mean, you all know that we thought America was the Big Bad, and nobody could do shit to us. We felt we couldn't be touched. I even thought that sometimes. We even had fair warning, but ignored that shit because we thought we were the shit.
This is actually the most I've talked about this. Everything is just so fucked up in the world today, everyone is just shitting on everyone. To me, it just makes no sense at all. I just can't wait until someone just says "STOP!!!" and the bullshit will stop getting thicker and thicker.
It's a great thing that videogames are around, y'know. Sometimes I forget what's out there when I play, but I'm quickly reminded of the shit when I walk out that front door and see people in the streets begging for money or see starving children on TV every morning. Kids are either shooting people or being kidnapped for no fuckin' reason at all. Parents are fucking up with their kids. Personally I think this is happening because parents don't whip their kids asses like when I was a kid. Also, everyone on the block knew who you were and who your friends are, and if you got in trouble another parent would disapline you and then you would go home and get punished yourself. What the hell happened to that?
Anyway, I'm getting tired. I hope my ranting didn't cause any trouble. I don't want to provoke anyone here or anyone anywhere for that matter.
Let's keep the peace everyone. Set an example and shit.
Now, I'm going to sleep.

Yep. In principle there are some things that should be all the time not just after a problem.

McDonald's, well if they had to attack something why not McDonald's... My friend who worked at McDonald's said the employees pissed in the orange juice. There's really only one item on their menu that I like and its not worth going there just for that. Nah, I don't actually want people to crash jets into McDonald's, incinerating them and collapsing the buildings.
McDonald's I don't like, but In And Out or Tomboys, now those are good joints. mmm.
On the subject of targeting business, although this time not "terrorists",
the TV news said that some people, I think it was some younger Palestinians, were boycotting Disney because it was American. As the news pointed out, ironically Disney employed many Palestinians and produced products in that area...

Let's bring this back. Many parents reactions to their children doing horrible things is to tilt back their easy chairs another notch.  If you see some kid acting out of line in your community, don't be afraid to tell him to stop listening to Limp Bizket, pull up his pants, get a real hair cut and go get a job. Or whatever problem, don't think its not my business and stay out of it because I might not have any effect or the person might be crazy or whatever reason might stop you.
We should want for society to progress and be a better place after us.

Oh, come on... ^^;
it's an observation i've made while living overseas. it's biased with the hotbed of love/hate politics that south korea has with the us, but i still think it's a good representative to explain my point.
koreans are totally willing to hate americans for some short track incident, and a few military-related issues, something that happened to their parents almost 50 years ago, but when it's stated that all they have to do is tell the us to pull out, and it'll happen, they're hesitant.
in the end, it's a world economy. all i see in the newspapers is how other countries won't like it when the us places taxes and embargoes because it's going to bring about a self-contained united states.
international politics is so touchy.....i'm afraid to get too involved in it, lest my head explode~
