This sucks

My apologies. I could've sworn that I was a member prior to 9-11. I must've lurked for a while before joining in the fun. :-O I still stand by my assertion that the debate could be better instead of this countinued, and boriing obssession with zealots. (Is that a definition?)

If this is a not so subtle attempt to reopen a debate on 9/11 don't let me stop you. By all means go ahead. There is still no doubt much to be said and a great deal to be learned. Anything that also helps those who have since forgotten what free speech used to mean would be a valuable contribution. On the other hand perhaps the debate has not got worse at all; merely moved from arguing about what we think to arguing about why we think the way we do and what beliefs our world views and attitudes arise from. Now that would surely be a deepened and improved debate would it not? :)

Well, no offense, Jerry, but what have you posted lately to spark debate on other topics? Topics you could have posted on include: - homosexuality is good/bad - abortion is good/bad - monster truck rallies are good/bad - circumcision is good/bad - alternative medicine is good/bad - pornography is good/bad - Abuse directed towards Mr. "My life as a cough syrup drinking restaurant employee on food stamps is clearly awesomer than yours" Heinze - Abuse directed towards Mr. "Everyone is stupid/lying but me and my millions of invisible, silent fans so here's another article that belongs in my pretentious blog rather than a discussion forum" Ilion - Abuse directed towards Mr. "I'm a huge internet asshole and a sixteen year old found out my real name so I ran away" Espeir - Abuse directed towards Mr. "HAY YOU GUYS DISAGREE WITH ME ON THE INTERNET SO I'M LEAVING" Jeremy Falcon - Abuse directed towards Mr. "What do you mean my compiler isn't really english, it says it is right in the title BLAH BLAH BLAH WOOOORDS" Gerry Hammond, the Grand Nagus of the Osmosian Order, reverend and author of the Plain English CompilerTM - Abuse directed towards Mr. "Marxists! Marxists! Marxists marxists marxists!" Stan Shannon - Abuse deservedly directed towards Mr. "Shouldn't you be working or something, you stain on society" Fisticuffs for this rather inflammatory, unproductive post

That would be Gerry Rzeppa, not Gerry[sic] Hammond who was the OP.

He's a lounge lizard who hasn't posted here in quite some time, if ever. He's also a liar trying to weasle his way out of his original claim to have been part of great debates before he could have posted.

When I think back, I remember seeing lively conversations about 9/11, but I didn't become a member until February 2004. Must have just lurked by one day back in 2001, on a fine google search for something else. Damn, I should have just signed up back then :-\

I don't think you could have gone to any english-speaking message board and not seen extremely 'lively conversations.'

I agree, that was such an event that it would warrant long lively discussions, and canstill do so even today.

It was a choice, I didn't feel like going through the system. I don't really need food stamps since I work in a restaurant. I can't wait to eat a big plate of chicken over biscuits when I get into work today.
