That's probably even more insulting to a Chilean than to an American.
p.s. the fact that you're pretending like this has nothing to do with 9/11 and are just choosing to honor people and is just a coincidence makes you cowardly, imo. At least stand up for the point you're trying to make.
you know what America is not the centre of the planet - some americans may think it is (im gonna assume your one of those) but its not and people approach this day under a different angle.
ie. for many this day will reflect a certain day perhaps in ww2 , and compared to what happened 10 years ago it was a drop in the ocean compared to what they went through...its called personal persepctive.

Simply because I had no idea about this incident before. Memorials are held for things to be remembered and this thread serves its purpose.
You make me sick, you really do.

After ten years have passed, these 'anniversaries' are usually only highlighted internationally every 10 years. After 50 years every 50th year, after 100 every 100th...

It's called etiquette. If someone tells you a certain day is the anniversary where there mother passed away you don't say "So what, millions of people die everyday. You are not the center of the universe!"

From what I read Pinochet was never really convicted of any crime and lived to old age in luxury. It's really quite terrible, I guess it's been a while ago since the case against him was all over the news, so I don't really remember too much of it, but it seems to be so hard to convict just about anyone guilty of war crimes.

"hi guys, I want to bring to your attentions that in Chile something horrible also happened on 9/11, let's also commemorate THEIR deaths, ok?"
"WTF!?FUCKING TROLL GET OUT SICK BASTARD!" is pretty much the response.
guys, please, calm down. This is OBVIOUSLY not meant as a troll or insult. He is trying to bring attention to a tragic event that is overlooked, so what if its also on the 10th anniversary of 9/11? is there ANY reason we can't honour and remember the victims of BOTH events? no there isnt.
so stop flaming each other in this thread please, and show more respect to the dead please?

I'm sorry for being so sick minded. Next time I should remember that some lives are worth more than others? That will make me a decent human being hopefully.

Fail analogy. It's more like
"my mother died on this day"
"Oh really? Well your mother lived in a country that used your mother's tax-payer dollars to contribute to rebels in another country that killed many other people's mothers."

The purpose of this thread is solely to deride and mock the U.S. by bringing up a past misdeed that happens to coincide with the anniversary of 9/11. This isn't about honoring and respecting victims of the Chilean rebellion - just look at the OP's post history. It looks like he specifically started posting to try to stir up some drama.
This is fucking appalling.

It's alright to mention this today, even if it's on the same day as the 10 year anni of 9/11. However, I feel like the OP decided to do this as a "joke" to "troll", kind of saying, "Who cares about the 10 year anniversary of those WTC bombings?". That's just a feeling I have though. I noticed he purposely mentioned US involvement, not sure of what the point of that was.

Ok so he joined on March 27th, tried to act like a sc2 player by posting about void rays and a "Yellow" thread , just so he can make a thread 6 months later on sept.11th to ridicule the fall of the twin towers?
If anything his past history contradicts your reasoning?

Isnt the irony all on the side of history though? I feel that you can't talk seriously about that coup d'état without mentioning the us involvement.

If you want to ignore what the OP is so obviously doing, that's fine. A goat with half a brain would be able to identify that he's just taking a giant shit on the U.S. by highlighting their involvement and exaggerating the death toll. Maybe he didn't join TL with this intention but he's sure getting away with it now.

guys this has nothing to do with the 9/11 bombings so knock it off.
I find it sad that it's my first time finding out something as big as this event, unlike some less incriminating things that are hyped and shoved in my face by the media.

That's not really open-minded. Please calm down, and do not derail the thread.

Paramount to mourning the many lost lives on this day in history, regardless of which nation the injustices took place in, is defending a perceived slight to your home country on an internet forum.
|
This thread is appalling. Anyone saying this thread is only to mock the US deserves a long ban.
Fuck you, seriously. Someone made a thread because he felt an event was forgotten, on the day of said event. It coincides with the terrorist attack, that's all. They are separate events. Keep the US stuff in one the other thread and let's keep this thread pertaining to this event.
A lot of you are pushing this aside as if it doesn't matter because you only care about 9/11 as the memorial of a terrorist event.
Congratulations, you just made light of thousands of deaths and people getting tortured.
Fucking disgusting.

Well this took a nose dive relatively quick.I was just reading through the 9/11 thread and was proud of TL and the people that they kept snide comments to themselves and just not post anything but RIP and what they have done on that day,or not post at all if they didn't have anything to say.
Even if this thread was put up as slightly trollish in mind its just ironic to me that people go out of their way and post stuff like 9/11>anything else that happen that day.
Personally I don't really care about 9/11 that much,as much as I know any other American doesn't care about,for instance,the massacre at Ovčara,Maslenica or any other civilian massacre that happened on some day during the war in my country.
But what I do is I keep dumb comments to myself and wish all the best to the victims and their family's,or don't post at all.
