The United States of America (Explosions in the Sky)

This short, which was made for a class project, is a 3-minute movie about present-day America, with clips spanning from images of daily American life to images of war.

This movie was made with only Google video clips... it was also the first time we ever used any editing software so please don't judge :)

The song used in the short is "A Song For Our Fathers" by Explosions in the Sky

Due to "lack of room", NYC Police Officers, Port Authority Police Officers and FDNY Firefighters are not "invited" to the 10th anniversary of 9/11 at Ground Zero. Funny - they weren't invited on that day in 2001, either - they just "showed up" and became our heroes. Please re-post if you think they belong MORE than the politicians who are invited.

Not Death to America. Maria Sharapova lives there and she's hot, so is Jessica Alba. Stan Lee creator of Spiderman, Kermit the Frog, lots of music I like, Microsoft Windows, Apple (unless you have your own PC operating system?) Todd Mcfarlene (amazing artist), Lemmy from Motorhead lives there, Matt Hoffman, Burt Reynolds, Leisha Hailey. So basically your Death to America idea is selfish. I like Americans, even if they talk a lot and use the word "like" in almost every sentence

@haditqura You are an evil and bad Muslim "As for a non-Muslim living under Muslim rule and a Mu’āhid (a Non-Muslim ally with whom Muslims have a treaty, trust, peace, or agreement), it’s been authentically established that the prophet (blessings and peace upon him) said: “Whoever kills a Mu’āhid will not even smell the fragrance of paradise and its fragrance can be smelled from the distance of forty years away.”

@J2DAQWST Believe me "God" makes more harm than good to human kind. Religious motives kill more people and create distances between cultures than actually solve problems in this world. And all that for what? The false promise of "knowing" for sure what lies after you die? If you are so afraid of dying, you are not gonna live life at its fullest. And that's a wasted live

And you don't have no idea in what type of activism I'm involved in. So keep that last comment for someone you actually know

[J2DAQWST]

@vivelavidarocka If you're really that upset about starvation perhaps you should go help out with it. There's quite a few religious people over in those third world countries making an effort to help because they feel God has called them to. Or maybe just sit at home and complain about it to make a philosophical point that suits your liking.

Fuck "God!" whatever that shit means to you

Where is "God" when millions are killed in his name?

Where is "God" when trillions of dollars are given to millionaires to be spend on drugs, prostitutes (some of them kids) and alcohol, while there are millions dying of starvation in different parts of the world?

Don't you see how selfish your sects are preaching being "the only way to salvation"? That strikes me as created by ignorant and intolerant minds instead of a supreme and understanding being
