I'm assuming you mean if they didn't bomb the World Trade Centers.

And who knows.  We (us here in the U.S.) would probably be in the beginning of a whole new age of prosperity.  Bush might have been able to focus his energy more on his ranch and stroke, further emphasizing how pampered a breed we really are.
wasn't he already palnning to go to war with iraq before 9/11?

9/11 has increased the concentration of fucking gullible idiots as well as the concentration of ultra-conservative stupid SUPPORT AMERICA KILL ARABS/TERRORISTS (same thing) people
I would agree this is one of the ways it changed America. As far as security, America has pretty much lost the fear that terrorists live in our backyards and are planning an attack in an hour. And those who still believe that could spend their time better. At the risk of sounding like a pessimistic, 9/11 will eventually be remembered the same way we look at Pearl Harbor. Sure it changed people, but I don't think it actually changed the world, it just changed how we viewed it for a while.

Didn't America alreayd know about the Pearl harbor attack and allowed it to still happen? same could be said about 9/11 later on I guess. 

I think it's retarded as hell that if you even mention 9/11 ina  public area people will be all like "omg don't talk about 9/11 my entire family and pet dog and cat and house and gameboy advance got killed in it ansd it offends me".
You don't see people whine everytime someone talks about guns when there parents were shot.

Wow. I didn't believe the whole GW IS BEING INFESTED WITH IDIOTS propaganda until I read this thread!!

also I think that 9/11 drew us into a horrible war in Iraq that will lead to decades of cynicism just like after Watergate and Vietnam! I don't see the damage Bush has done being undone for many, many years.

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

That's not too bad for scottish actually. You should get a job as a professional comedian someday, your family would be proud of you.

Quite true. What scares me is all the people who still think it's for the right reasons. Ah well.

No, my family will never love me.  Especially if I was a comedian.  Anyways, I didn't really mean to be a dick to you, I just hate it when people throw out the "fucking Americans" line.  I'm a white American.   :fogetshh:​  But, as long as you hate Americans I'll make fun of the way you bloody Redcoats speak.

It was purely a joke, "Fucking" americans, as opposed to my quoted "Fukkin brits".

I like Americans on the most part. The most part... Oh. And our sense of humour is superior! Thats about it though  :fogetlaugh:

Well, being serious for a second, I'm not going to argue whether I "got it" or not, I understand perfectly what you were doing, I was trying to be funny, and failed :p
