Right then, curse me if you will, lock up this thread if you will, but think about it. I dare you! (to think about it, that is)

Oh, and saying that my arguments are stupid without adding anymore information is much more intelligent. Look, I'm not looking for a fight, but come on. Sure, the thing with the lackey, that was intended as silly and comical spur-of-the-moment writing. And I did not intend to give any real arguments. For fuck's sake, I'm just poking fun, which is what everyone should do in this thread. By the way, I admire your agreeing with me, although you're american. But I still hate your nation. No offense.
What is that with 0.o?! What the hell is that?! My smacktard sense is tingling...
Anyway, folks, laugh it up!
PS: what I'm really hoping for is for Yahtzee to post something funny about the subject here, or at least make an update. But since that will never happen, all I can do is dream.

America has been attacked by terrorists. They wiped the WTC off the map and knocked a chunk out of the Pentagon, leaving thousands dead.
I considered suspending my comic, as I'd be embarassed to continue offering comedy and light relief in the wake of such a tragedy, but the automatic update feature for this site has already been fed the comic strips for this month and some of the next, so it is out of my hands. But as I thought about it, I realised that I really wouldn't be causing any harm.
I am deeply shocked and appalled by what happened, and my condolences go out to those invoved. I do not wish to trivialize this occurence, but the human race has been through a lot. Wars, disasters, disease ... and there's always been a time when we can look back on tragedy and feel relieved that it's over. Some may even joke about it. This is not flippancy, this is simply the nature of our species. We adapt. We survive. Whatever knocks we take, we always find a way to get back on our feet. So whether it takes a few months or a few years, the dust for this terrible happenstance will settle.
In ten years time the events of Tuesday the 11th could become a movie of the week. We'll be watching documentaries on it even before then.
Life goes on.
Sadly, it weren't ten years until they tried to make it the movie of the week.
Check the archives for Mr. Yahtzee's opinion on doing updates that people would expect him to do, for example on such silly occasions as christmas or easter or whatnot...

Now that just almost killed it for me. The quote. Why in the name of fun-poking did you post that?! Why must you ruin it. Now I almost feel bad about the whole thing. But as mr. Yahtzee said: Life goes on. So poking fun is the proof that life does go on and we can take. Just look at zazoo, or zazu, or zzazo, or zazzo, or whatever, he's american, and he still says they deserved it.
Now, frankly, I hate America, and I'm not even British, I'm from an ex-soviet block country. It's not the commie gene in me talking, but I hate the smugness and hyprocacy of America. It's like they're saying: we're fucked up but we like ourselves and we have bigger guns so you'll like us too.
This whole 9-11 thing... it's like one of those bad bully jokes, where there is this bad bully and you hit him lightly and he falls and cries and shits himself and then he comes back, cheating and with friends and meaner than ever.
Really, I admire Osama and all his followers for standing up to America, but what I don't even like is their methods. But I guess that's the only language America understands...
PS: see what you've done now gobbler, I'm all serious-like, thanks to you! damn it, I liked you better when you had the black eyebrow-raising avatar...

It sure is easy to deprecate an entire country when you cover your eyes and pretend they're just a single person with a shallow, easily-noticed, pompous retard personality without even a shred of any cognitive dissonance.

As far as I can see, Dan, you're just here to either make bad jokes (which are never funny, you do realise that?!) or start fights.
Grow up.
EDIT: Just on the subject of September 11th, I do believe that the USA asked for, and in some way, deserved to be attacked, but the sad fact is that innocent civilians died, not the money-brabbing bastards who deserved to die. For Dan to say that the rest of the world is happy... well that's just not cool - frankly, it's insulting.
That's my say on the matter anyways.

And Dan, do you honestly have a shred of understanding? Can you think of people in more than just their country? The guy just told you it's still the tenth for him and you immediately decided he was a smacktard because he's from America.

Indeed, I don't have much experience in the field of politics and maybe I'm maybe I'm covering my eyes as you say, and it's not right to judge a nation just by it's country.
But do you really think that there is any other way?
I mean, why do you think the American Military has nuclear weapons? Why were they the first to invent them?
Either they are shit-scared about something we know nothing about, or they just want to flex their muscles so that everyone else shuts up and says grace.
Now, I didn't mean that I hated all the people. I just hate bad America. I hate the power and money hungry people in America. I hate those who brainwash the population into doing whatever they want through media. I hate Pop America. I hate McDonalds. I hate the fact that whatever America does, everyone else seems to do. America got Bush realected, my country got a clown elected. A sail going, fleet selling clown. I hate Corrupt America, but more I hate Corrupt World.
Indeed, this thread was originally intended as a poke-fun thread. And mr. Yahtzee is right about not doing anything this day. And also about telling me to shut up. I now feel bad and wish to issue an apology to all the innocent americans who lost someone that day. I would also be very happy to change or remove the title description text under the title if someone just told me how.
