The events of today have kind of put into perspective which console is best, what game is best and who is dumb for liking Nintendo etc.
Who gives a toss if Gates wants to release a new games machine?
Who cares if the PS2 has more polygons than Dreamcast.
We need to get a perspective and learn to tolerate, understand and accept that I like something different to you and that's cool.
It's when people start to shout and scream to drown out the voice of someone else that resentment starts.
Might be someone having a go at you for liking Microsoft, might be someone deciding a fly planes into your buildings because you fight over oil.
Shame on this race for finding reasons to hate and fight.
No way to live, and this is what happens.
If nothing else comes of this today, perhaps we might be a little slower to attack someone because they look funny, talk differently to you, have different skin, like a different video-games machine.
Bigotry, hatred, envy, intolerance, violence and hostility stem from the basic refusal to listen to someone else and try to understand them.
I am ashamed to be on this planet today.
This is why I joined Amnesty International, this is why I take issue with racists and other forms of stupidity.
Because if you ignore and look away when we something that upsets us, it leads to this kind of sick action today.
Goddamn.
That's all I can say, goddamit.
My Uncle works in The Pentagon and Quantico Marine Base, and I can't find out if he's ok or not.
This suck, and the biggest emotion I have is one of shame.
Damn this planet, damn this species and damn those that refuse to talk and listen.

Goatboy, Im really sorry to hear your news.
This may sound rarther nasty, but i dont feel involved enough to cry, yes im shocked and upset buy it all, but i just dont feel the need to cry. Plus im not the kinda person that really shows my emotions. Different people have different ways of dealing with things.
Tip: Don't listen to 'Don't Cry - Guns N Roses' it's so sad!
Maybe crying does help, I don't know. I haven't really cried yet. Maybe i'm still in shock... maybe it hasn't effected me in the same way as those involves and their families. I'm not embarrased that I haven't cried, i've prayed, but not cried.
I suppose my faith has helped me loads. Knowing that america is such a goldy nation has reassured me that they'll have some special help from the man upstairs whilst recovering from this one.
God WILL Bless America... for sticking up for his people.
Man... This whole thing seems so uncomprehendable. The victims and the murdered both had hearts, minds, hands.. hands that can hold another or hands that can fly a plane, hearts that can love or hearts that are dead to love and minds that say let the heart lead and rescue trapped people or minds that are so full of anguish and hatred that they cause pain and suffering.
It's almost upsetting that these murderers and the victims were so a like.
God!

Goatboy, you didn't deserve that mate...I'm sorry.
I know words will mean nothing to you at the moment, but be strong, I know you can get through this.

You know what the most horrific thing about this insane incident is? The fact that the planes that were suicidally crashed into the buildings WITH PASSENGERS IN THEM. I thought that maybe they were just empty and only consisted of the kamikaze pilot - but no; they were full of innocent, happy people who were just either on their way home, or off on holiday - little did they know, until the plane was heading directly for the buildings, that they were going to die that day.
I don't think this catastrophe has quite sunk in yet...
P.S, sorry for your loss, Goatboy.
