*note* When I said not the appropriate place, I didn't mean this was the appropriate place. If you want to talk politics, put it in the politics discussion, there are threads for this topic already.

Oh, and Devon - if the thread you start gets locked, take a hint. Trying to bury this in Cool Videos isn't going to help you and it makes you look like a moron for not taking the hint. We all know there are people who don't pay attention to the world around them, and these videos only show those people.

You are a piss-poor troll, but a troll none the less. Enjoy the bannination.

I would just like to defend my actions even though they are deemed inappopriate. I thought that when hokiethang locked my other thread, I assumed it was because I posted a video, when there are video threads. So, I posted it in the Cool Videos thread because it's the only real video thread on the site. I didn't see the video as political so didn't think it should be posted in a political thread.

On the video it's self, I just thought it was a real shame that after only 6 years since the event, people in America, including New York don't remember the common details of the event.

Can the mods also remove the link for the video from the original thread - http://forums.finalgear.com/off-topic/9-11-how-much-do-you-know-19537/ - as it is a sensitive issue and I already reported my own thread to have it removed, before these issues arose.

I'm sorry if any one was offended, the Mods have disciplined me and I'm prepared to cop it on the chin.

LA to New York in 4 minutes.
Though that's from West to East, but I'm guessing that's the one you're after.
