Message to Sensible Sam. Sorry to burst your delusional bubble, but it’s obvious you haven’t been to many other countries. It’s safe to assume that in almost every country you can speak against the government and not worry about being persecuted. There have been times in history for many countries, including America where that wasn’t exactly true, but don’t be stubborn and blind yourself from the reality of the world
to the people making fun of this pic: you all need to get some help because you have a sick sese of humor. remember: together we stand, divided we fall
AMEN…To all the people who draw inspiration from this tragic scene! I can’t beleive ANYONE could have such little regard for humanity, as these fanatics do.
And in the name of their GOD, no less. I can’t imagine their God condoning such actions.
I am a Canadian Firefighter, but I am strongly united with my neighbours to the south.
God Bless America!
God Bless Humanity!
one more note, the US had nothing to do with 500,000 children dying … saddam used chemical warfare to kill those children and adults (read up on current events dude). the lack of food from the US could NOT kill, and if it were possible, the US would NOT allow it. we are indeed not perfect, but we are not evil in any respect!
To all it may concern: This picture shows humanity at its best. Its not about race, sex, or any of the other things that people have been trying to pretend it is. Its about courage, hope and bravery. Oh, and if you make fun of this, there is something, SERIOUSLY, wrong with your sense of humor
“Ah, Fuck the bet on how many stars are on the flag, boys - I can’t count that high anyway. Besides, I’m an American, I don’t need to know anything beyond the fact that we are the goodies and the rest of the world are the bad guys. It’s so much easier to see things purely in terms of black and white. Speaking of which, its a good job there’s no niggers in this picture. God Bless America.”
I wonder if all you idiots who spouted all your anti-American garbage here would have the same attitude if the $$ that you get from MY country stopped flowing in. Your childish remarks and senseless ramblings show just how pathetic a country would be if it were run by people like you. I feel sorry for anyone who looks up to you, they are in for a rude awakening…you have neither the intelligence nor the strength to know when to just shut your trap. This is one of those times that you should just sit down, shut up and grow up.
God bless America, we are proud of our heroes…past - present - future - always.
Whether you agree with Bush or not, to make fun of 9/11 is a sinful act. Many innocent people died that had nothing to do with our government or our president. Babies, children and women and men all died on that horrible day and to make fun of a picture that brought patriotism to a lot of americans, is just wrong. You are free to have your own political ideas but to make fun of senseless deaths? Its really just despicable. Ecspecially since my fellow soldiers are over there dying every day to support your “freedom of speech”.
To Bush-Is-A-Terrorist. True, our government may not be perfect, but no government is. Our country went through a devistating tragedy and I believe if you had a family member who was lost or injured you wouldn’t be laughing at this. This country is based on freedom, and if you don’t like this country, you always have the freedom to leave. I jsut ask one thing of you and that is have some respect for those who lost family and friends.
The tomahawks are coming and we will smoke your sorry ass bin Laden!
To “Bush is a terrorist”: if you hate this country so much, why don’t you just take your fat ass and go somewhere else. If the US is so horrible, go live where it is better; now go and make this country better by removing yourself from it. ASSHOLE.
this picture is not a conspiracy, this picture has nothing to do with any god, this picture is the best of what humanity and the citizens of the united states have to offer.
I love my country enough to be critical and challenge its kind and generous citizens to demand more from their government. As long as we continue to treat the nations and people of the world so poorly, we will always be vulnerable to terror.
you all need to jut chill, all the comments i read in here are either god bless america, or its the gov’s fault or what have you. You all need to realize we the people ultimately decide what happens, and the U.S does not kill innocent children. If we would just pull out of every country, stop sending aid, just take care of the U.S and all our problems, you’d see alot of nations that would have a hard time surviving without the Great Evil of The West, since we are the only peace making machiene in the world that has any effect. Why? because all our money goes to other countries as forein aid, instead of back into solcial security and national debt and what have you. Just let us take care of ourselves and not everyone else, and you’ll see all kinds of nations begging for for help from us.
God bless America. The person who goes by the name “Bush is a Terrorist” can go to hell, right where Bin Laden is going to go. Leave my country, now you heartless pig!
Why are we hangin’ the flag from this big pole when we could be hangin’ dumb terrorist defending cock suckers like “mrzebra,” “Bush is a terrorist,” “Quique” and “Fat twat” from it?
“Quique”, “Bush is a Terrorist”, “mrzebra”, “Fat Twat” and the others need to be MAIMED in of one of these terrorist attacks before we’ll truly see how justified they think they are. Now if you’ll excuse me, I must go kill some more children from some random country that’s never done anything wrong…Oh, that’s right this is the REAL America, so I’ll go to work.
THAT FALSE AND FAKE SENSE OF PRIDE YOU ALL FELL IS NOTHING MORE THEN PEIR PRESSURE, NOT LESS THE 1YR AGO YO9U ALL WOULD HAVE JUST AS EASY STEPPED ON YOUR “FELLOW AMERICAN” SO TO ALL YOU FAKE PEOPLE PISS OFF
They better not make a sculpture of this moment and portray us as anything besides 3 white men because our white ethnic identity is what really matters to us right now.
maybe we should take this down?
yup.
if we tried to see the world through the eyes of humanity instead of through patriotic or religious zealotry we might see with compassion instead of revenge.
Six months ago today, the world was horrified by the devastation in New York, D.C., and Pennsylvania. Since then, it has been doubly horrified by the Bush Administration’s exploitation of a few thousand tragic deaths to set in motion a series of policy decisions, based explicitly upon an aggressive desire for military domination of the world for up to the next 50 years, that if pursued for any length of time will unquestionably kill tens of millions, including many of us. George W. Bush is no different from Bin Laden
Why does everyone say God Bless America? It seems to me that nobody gave a shit about God until we were in a little bit of trouble. God HAS blessed America, more than you can ever appreciate. Boohoo. 3000 people died. 500,000 Iraqi children died in the Gulf War because the US cut off food and medical supplies to Iraq and allied countries. I’m not saying Hussein is right, but we sure as hell aren’t right either. The Christian god is supposedly a God of peace. Don’t go around proclaiming his name and bombing Afghanistani children.
Get over it, it’s gonna get much worse before it gets better, and anyway it’s about time the US started to grow up. You can’t bomb the crap out of remote countries and not get some back, you have had it to good to long - Wakey Wakey!
America is the one place where you can DESPISE the country and it’s government, complain until you are hoarse, and guess what? You get to stay. No death camps or political prisons. So for all the feck-uppedness of the country you get no repercussions from speaking out against it. That is except for the idiotic @$$holes who spout “if you don’t like it, get out then!”
Don’t you realize, NIMRODS, that the one thing that makes America better than the rest of the governments is the ability to hate the place and stay!!!
I just cannot abide that attitude of like it or get out. It should be America love it or hate it you can still call it home.
O K the rant is done, and I leave you with this one word
9-11 was a tragedy.
But it was the fault of the U.S. Government.
The U.S. Government are terrorists.

“Quique”, “Bush is a Terrorist”, “mrzebra”, “Fat Twat” and the others need to be MAIMED in of one of these terrorist attacks before we’ll truly see how justified they think they are.
