Have a good Patriot Day

[Billy Baron]

Hey everyone,
 Just me, reminding everyone to be eternally vigilant on this Patriot Day. I remember living through September 11th, 2001 and I'm from New York, so 9/11 sticks out in my mind as a pretty unforgettable day. Terrorism can kind of catch you off-guard, you "might not know it even exists" until it hurts you in a bad way. Here's some thing to keep in mind:

 

• Terrorism is not cool
• We need to talk about terrorism
• Never forget; Always be Eternally Vigilant

 

 There are probably other things about it that I don't think I said. Hit reply and talk about it. I guess I don't really know, but some threats can get pretty heated in multiplayer. I need to watch my mouth more -- we're playing a game! Politics can get out of line sometimes. I think we've all experienced that over years of online play.

 

 One of the sad things that I see since the Ukraine thing started is some very public hatred towards Russia. I just want to say Peace to that, not words of anger. And speaking of peace, the civil unrest in this country (the USA, but it happens all over) rips us apart, blinds us...makes it impossible to see terrorism. I see people joining protests in hooliganry -- it's dangerous, stay out.

I talked a lot about it last Patriot Day (or a Patriot Day before that)...still add your recollections from the day, or anything you want to say about Patriot Day.

 

Well, have a good year, and stay out of the fights you don't belong in and Thanks for voting in the poll.

Doom General: "What's the definition of a boomer shooter anyway?"

 

Everything Else: "Happy Patriot Day, please use this poll to rate the severity of an terrorist attack you experienced this year!!"

 

Anyway, I need to know the definition of a mild terrorist attack before I feel confident enough to vote.

What about the countless terror attacks on innocent children, women and eldelry in Iraq and Afghanistan for almost 2 decades, and then cowardly leaving the country and its population in shambles because "it didn't work out as planned".

 

On what scale would you rate that terror?

 

Have a happy "Patriot" day on a piece of land that you forcefully took from the indigenous Americans. Tell them how patriotic you feel today.

You missed it by about half a day; I'll tell them next year for you though.
