Man, I thought it read "Directed by Henry Kissinger" for a second there. Pffft, how nice it would've been of him.

9/11 was an inside job

Three buildings collapsed on September 11th - WTC, WTC2 and WTC7 (building 7)

USA government needed 9/11 to invade Iraq, Afghanistan and to enable Patriot act

[barbuthnot]

These people were the bravest soles that day. They decided how they would die. They were heros along with all the others who suffer beyond belief. Maybe it's the word jumper that's upsetting. The flag comments are right, upside down mean distress.

[deadislandkiller20]

Havin your flag upside down is a signal of distress

[SwornByOath]

@atokessy Mean*, Come on*, Upside Down*, and last but certainly not least, DUMB*

You're an idiot.

[TRanceifyable]

So what about the people that get killed by drunk drivers everyday? Or drug addicts?

[PrairieRockz]

Why are you guys being fools? Having the flags upside down doesn't mean disrespect, it means that there is danger.

[InsanityOnABunFilms]

@fermicrunk ......tell that to all the families who lost family members in 9/11 that DID HAPPEN

[loveya6464]
