Ignorant on the full depth of things, YES. Retarded has NOTHING to do with I.Q. or wisdom. A smart person would know that. Yes, they asked us to help, and in return, not only did the US go in and claim a great victory, but they stayed a bit and did some things that we paid for. It falling on Bush is highly relevant. The reason being, is that Bush was the leader of the country and represented us, just like his father. Whatever happened with Bush Sr., came back in spades. We will never know the full truth. When you hurt someone and act like you've done nothing, and that person comes back and hurts your family, you cannot blame that person. You must blame yourself for hurting that person. If you don't get that, then you're worse off then I thought. 9/11 started with G. H. Bush, and won't end thanks to this crappy religious war that started between two god origin faction over 2,000 years ago. 9/11 is most likely the US fault, but since we're the good guys, I guess we're number 1 for some reason. As for Trump, what comes up as Drumpf on my screen: COOL man. Glad you don't like him. I was wrong about you there. As for me and my friends, I will tell you this. They had NO respect for me. I did what you claim you do. Help them when they needed it. Be a shoulder to lean on, and offer my home as a sanctuary when they are in family trouble, or hiding from a significant other. I've done all those things and I got shitted on. Bitter? No. I just don't want anything to do with them. They don't live around me by any sight. My real friend lives about 2.8K miles away. The place where I live is heavily mixed. Cops used to ride through here all the time because it's a hood setting with ZERO hood activity. Nothing happens here. Well, unleashed dogs shitting in my yard. Neighbors driving through my yard when they think I'm not home. I have not seen any cops doing anything bad around me. I do know this, when something vile happens, you can best rest assured that has been happening and what you see was just tip of the monolithic iceberg. It doesn't mean ALL cops are bad, but I'm not taking any chances either. I've never committed a crime, and I do respect people until I'm disrespected. I correct them and let them know it's not called for and that is when they get pissed. I don't have a victim mentality. I don't live a spoonfed life like you. I live bi-weekly. You paying taxes is nothing angelic either. Get over yourself.
