Not if they're intending to do something criminal.

The people on the plane, however, were going to die anyway, whatever they did. So they chose to bring down the terrorists and crash the plane -- maybe somewhat brave, but they weren\'t risking a single thing. Maybe they wanted to go out with a bang and do something good, but not really brave.

Fuck you, "it wasn't brave"! It was BRAVE AND HEROIC!

It is a \"big conspiracy,\" but I\'m not saying that the evil planes decided to crash by themselves without someone piloting them.

Saudis, yeah.

So, did the terrorists also sacrifice nothing?

No, the terrorists deliberately sacrificed their lives for a cause they believed in. I consider that the highest form of bravery.

One of the passengers was a former pilot. They might have had hope for surviving.

So they did what they could to save their own skin? Yeah, real brave.

They thought they were getting eternal bliss in exchange for their early death. That's not sacrificing your life, that's making a bad business decision, using your friends' credit card.

Let me restate, they saved a countless number of people by stopping that plane. And sitting there doing nothing as a plane slammed into a building in DC killing them, and countless others, is on the same level of bravery as wrestling control of the plane from the terrorists?

Give your balls some time to drop, get a job, and try again.

I point out a contradiction in someone's argument and you resort to ad hominem attacks. Real mature. And, for a refreshing (and very ironic twist) you (very maturely, I might add) bring up by age. Bravo.

Yes. Sitting there doing nothing would be stupid, but trying to wrestle control would not be brave. Bravery requires that you do something that you think is right even though it is detrimental towards you. Wrestling control of the plane was not detrimental to the passengers at all and put them in no risk.

You ignore your own contradictions. Therefore his ad hominem attacks are not only warranted, but encouraged.

Yeah, an Islamo-Facist cause that is dangerous to the West and to moderate Islam, not to mention the fact that it is a terrorist cause.

We point out a contradiction that how is it brave to believe you are sacrificing nothing but your shitty earthly life to go to a heaven and that is better than anything even imaginable in the process commiting suicide and murdering countless others and your sole answer is in the form of another question. Bravo.

Thats not debating, thats called side steping. Again, bravo.

You are a bitch. You are probably one of those little bitch goth kids in high school that have to act like crazy motherfuckers to get attention. I would like to "accidentally" spike a volleyball at you in gym class. Whoops, my fuckin bad, you fuckin crazy piece of shit.

How are you supposed to counter a ridiculous conspiracy theory with any serious comment? I mean, are we supposed to take that comment seriously? Or you just want to bitch now?

At 5/1/06 03:14 PM, Begoner wrote: So no religious people who believe they will go to heaven after they die can be considered brave?

You can be brave if you still love this life and all it has to offer. You cannot be brave when you have no respect for this life and would rather die than keep living.

That is called suicidal, which you are to biased to ever admit to.

And I suppose by your same reasoning the Columbine shooters were brave? They did what they thought was right. They wanted to get back at those they thought have slighted them. So they killed innocent, defenseless, teachers and students.

Shit, that sounds EXACTLY like 9/11. You better answer they are brave otherwise you are a giant hyprocrite. You better say Timothy McVeigh was brave too. And you better say the Palestinian bus bombers are brave too.

So were the Jews brave because they committed mass suicide after holding off the Romans for 6 months or were they cowards because they ended their lives?

They were going to die the next day. There were 900 of them, 200 of which were capable of fighting. There was half a Tent Legion camped below Mosada. They were brave because they saw the reality that they were going to die and they would rather die on their own accord than being raped, tortured, and massacred by the Romans.

I cannot guess at the full motivation that the alleged terrorists had when committing this act. Perhaps that they did it because they thought they were going to heaven and all that, but that was most likely only part of their thinking. They also wanted to get back at America for all its meddling in Arabic affairs and whatnot. They did this through the most destructive means they could at the cost of their own lives. If they only did it because they thought they were going to get 72 virgins or whatever then no, I would not consider it brave.

You are such a little bitch.

Don't have a heart attack or anything. That would be a real shame.

And I suppose by your same reasoning the Columbine shooters were brave? They did what they thought was right.

No, they did not do what they thought was right.Nor did they do something brave, because they did not risk their lives or anything when shooting at innocent people. They wanted revenge -- that does not constitute bravery.

And you better say the Palestinian bus bombers are brave too.

Damn straight.

They wanted to get back at America and they thought what they were doing was right and they did so at the cost of their own lives. The other guys knew what they were doing was wrong and did not risk their lives while shooting at innocent people (although they did kill themselves later).

Since when do I root for the terrorists? I think that what the terrorists do is despicable. And since when do I dislike liberal democracies? I am very close to a liberal democrat.

This is the cheap way to go, but I've actually read a lot about 9/11 and almost none of it seems feasible.
