Teenage kids have now grown up that you can have an intelligent conversation with who have never known what it is like to experience a time when Al Queda was an aggressor.
that is 1000000000000% bullshit.
How is that bullshit? It is true. You're not still pissed off about Pearl Harbor, are you, Warb? Someone who was five when 9/11 happened, is sixteen. Ten year olds at the time are now of legal drinking age.
I work with kids in these age ranges. None of them talk about Al Qaeda or 9/11. A lot don't even really remember much of the events. When the Boston Marathon bombing happened, the first thing they thought of wasn't "OMG! Islamic terrorists!" It was, "Crap, another psycho!"

There are over 70,000 people killed in a mild genocide in Syria over the past year and a half that is the worst tragedy since Rwanda that requires your more immediate outrage and attention.
you don't think I care about what is happening in Syria? you are sadly mistaken.
He isn't saying you don't care, he is saying that 9/11 was pushing twelve years ago and you are still enraged and freaked out by it, while things like the events in Syria are easily a multitude more horrific, but it isn't near as big of a deal to you as 9/11.
But obviously, if someone is murdered on a doorstep on the other side of town, or in another state, the other side of the continent, or in another country, it doesn't have near the impact on you as someone murdered on your own doorstep. Zombie is kind of ignoring this phenomena.

If 9/11 fills you with rage, Boston makes you upset, then Syria should give you a full blown stroke. Unless you feel "they don't count" then all of this needs to be put into perspective.

go fuck yourself. why don't you go out and by yourself an Al Qaeda tee-shirt and ball cap.
I am putting you on ignore. I am done talking with you.
Shit, Warb.
