I had just walked into my class room and they had it showing on a tv they rolled in because it was breaking international news that had the potential to change the world.

@GuyWithOpinions turned out to be no big deal

@Ferise1 well.. not as a big deal as was assumed it might be internationally. But a huge deal to americans none the less. It was the first major attack on american soil since the civil war i think?

It made those who felt invincible feel really vulnerable.

@GuyWithOpinions turned out to be an inside job too

@Ferise1 could be 🤷‍♂ theres always alot of conspiracies among american tragedies. Hard to pin point a truth with them.

@GuyWithOpinions I figured it was an inside job when I learned that the bush family and the bin Laden family were both in the Carlyle group which received $1 billion from Congress after 9:11.

@Ferise1 i think i remember hearing something like that as well.

I also heard this was the excuse they needed to invade the middle east for thier oil.

@Ferise1 its just a different culture. I dont think anyone has any right to exploit or attack anyone else because of thier beliefs. Its like if india waged war on us for eating cheeseburgers.

@GuyWithOpinions seriously tho I don’t think minorities and women have a decent life and they live in terror…it’s not ok to kill for such minor things can you imagine

@Ferise1 that is true from our point of view but i also recognize our cultures are vastly different. Those who dont want to be there flee. But there are also those who stand by thier traditions even if they are archaic. Living with fear isnt just confined to that one region. There are many countries with strict or deadly ideologies that others wont agree with.

I think a main problem is routed in our idea of a hierarchical structure of government. Weather they are elected or chosen, we give all the power of the nations people to a single person and it is my belief that humans are easily corrupted by greed when given too much power. This is why i would like to observe Switzerlands government structure and see how stable it is and if it can be modified and utilized on a larger scale.

@GuyWithOpinions it’s a violent barbaric misogynistic primitive society… which the west is really glad they outgrew. but I think even celts considered women as their equals and they fought in wars alongside men.
I don’t know about Swiss government they have like seven” presidents” or counsellor’s… and the main one changes every year. But I don’t know much about Swiss politics. They don’t even talk about it much on the news.
