Guest guest Posted September 24, 2001 Report Share Posted September 24, 2001 (a friend of mine made me promise that i'd post this on my message boards when i got home so here it is. take what you like and leave the rest)<br><br>Good evening my fellow Americans,<br><br>First, I want to pass on my condolences to the people of New York and all Americans that are hurting in this tragic time. You can rest assured that anything and everything that can be done to assure the safety of our country will be done. This is the greatest country in the world and we will get through this trying time. Now is the time for all people to set aside our petty differences and show the world that no one or nothing can destroy the fortitude of the American people.<br><br>To the people responsible for today's tragedy, I say this:<br>Are you fucking kidding me?<br>Are the turbans on your heads wrapped too tight?<br>Have you gone too long without a bath?<br>Do you not know who you are fucking with?<br>Americans are so hungry to kill, that we shoot at each other every day.<br>We will relish the opportunity for new targets for our aggression.<br><br>Have you forgotten history?<br>What happened to the last people that started fucking with us?<br>Remember the little yellow bastards over in Japan? We slapped them all over the Pacific and roasted about 2 million of them in their own back yard. That's what we in America call a big ass barbecue.<br>Ever seen Texas on a map? Ever wonder why it's so big? Because we wanted it that way!<br>Mexico started jacking around with the Alamo and now they cut our lawns.<br>England? We sent them packing.<br>Ask your buddy Saddam about fucking with the good 'OLE USA.<br>The only reason he got away the first time is because it's too hard to shoot someone when you're doubled over laughing at them. Our soldiers aren't trained to laugh and shoot at the same time. Now he coudn't stop a pack of cub scouts from taking over his shitty little country.<br><br>Trust us, Afghanistan will end up a giant kitty litter box. Go ahead and try to hide, Bin Laden. There's now a hole deep enough or a mountain high enough that's going to keep your camel riding asses safe. We will bomb every inch of the country that harbors him, hsi camps and any place that looks and even smells like he was there. Hell, we might even drop a few bombs on people that have pissed us off in the past.<br>This is America. We kick ass. This is what we do. Go ahead and laugh now, but the Tomahawks are coming and we will smoke your sorry asses.<br><br>God bless America! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 24, 2001 Report Share Posted September 24, 2001 How sad. <br><br>Hopefully, you were drunk when you wrote and posted that. And now you are sober and can see how tragic your thoughts are.<br><br>My fear is that you are not alone, and the rest of the world will be carried along on a wave of sentiment like your posting.<br><br>Can you see that by reacting like that you are merely feeding the bad guys' energy ? You are reacting exactly how they want you to react. <br><br>Please, be wise. Think. And don't give them the satisfaction of seeing you provoked and reacting that way.<br><br>Om Shanti. <br><br>Annie Gurton<br>Purple Valley Yoga Centre<br>www.yogagoa.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 25, 2001 Report Share Posted September 25, 2001 (a friend of mine made me promise that i'd post this on my message boards when i got home so here it is. )<br><br><br>Dear Yogis and Yoginis,<br><br>Every day, each one of us has an inner battle to win. There is a<br>terrorist lurking around the corners of our consciousness waiting to<br>sabotage our happiness. A few of these terrorists' names are<br>dishonesty, anger, jealousy, hatred, deceit, and reactive behavior. <br><br>Each day is an opportunity to watch our own internal war patterns of<br>thoughts, emotions, and behavior toward others. How do we interact when<br>life presents situations that do not please us? Do we attack? Do we<br>send thoughts of compassion and understanding toward the ignorance we<br>witness in others? Negative and hurtful thoughts are like silent<br>killers, terrorists, that threaten our joy and peaceful way of life. <br><br>Each human life is a beautiful mandala that has an effect on the<br>collective consciousness of universal life. Is there peace in your<br>world? Are you releasing negative thought missiles? Does your defense<br>use prayerful thoughts of transforming disgust and hate into<br>understanding ignorance and distributing compassion? <br><br>Every individual is a world. Create world peace. It begins with you.<br><br>Om Shanti,<br><br>Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
