!!!!!!!!!This Forum!!!, Controversy Options

[realdeal]

Apparently there has been some controversy of late as to this forum and the topics and videos available and discussed here.

As I have said numerous times before, it is my opinion and belief that these videos should be seen by all as a reminder of just what we, as a country are up against and the animalistic nature of the enemy. If I had my way, I would show the jets crashing into the World Trade Center every night at the beginning of the evening news. Have you seen this videos lately? If not, I would highly suggest taking another look at them. To this date I still get chills down my body when I see that video. Maybe I am a little more affected by 9/11 than most as I live about 15 miles from the WTC and several of my friends/former co-workers were killed on that day in cold blood. What a horrible way to die! Thousands of innocent lives we lost that day - for nothing!

In my opinion, people have a tendency to forget things with the passage of time. It's human nature sometimes. I think a great example of this would be all of the media coverage of the "abuse" of the Iraqi prisoners at the Abu Ghraib detention center. Did you notice how much press this got in the news media? It headlined for weeks and to this day, still does on occasion. Often it would headline the news even before they reported about the beheadings. There is NO comparision in the "abuse" at Abu Ghraib and the and torture and murders by the Iraqi militants/Al Qaida.

This forum is strictly to discuss the issues and help keep people's awareness.

Some may say that they don't need to view the videos to be aware of the barbaric nature of our enemy or that the posts by some in this forum calling for genocide of Muslims is abominable.

Well, my suggestion to those that don't want to watch the videos is: DON'T WATCH THEM.
There are plenty of warnings about the contents of the videos and if you still watch them after reading the warnings, it's your own fault.

As for the discussion in this forum that some may not agree with, either don't read it or at least respect freedom of speech. I have never deleted a post in this forum and never will. No matter what side of the fence people are on, I feel that they are entitled to their opinion. After all, this is the United States of America and if I remember correctly, Freedom of Speech is still protected under the First Amendment of the US Constitution.
