What if the guy have said two young white guys instead of two young hispanics guys ? I don't think you would call him a racist NF...

I didn't say he was a racist. I said his comment was indicative of bigotry - there's a big difference between bigotry and racism. And yes I'd point out any unnecessary usage of skin tone or ethnicity in describing or referring to a person, spiceworld. It only serves to separate people and causes problems when used needlessly. My :2 cents:

yup, you know why because if you could give back the lives of all those who where killed and all of those who were effected by that, that would be worth one life who's to say if somone had a gun to ones head they would change their mind. some people have been in interesting predicaments and know how they would react. others are just to much of a pussy to put ones self in front of harms way to prevent somones mother father husband or wife from being hurt i would hope that if my wife and or son was ever in harms way and i wasnt around and some other person was that they would help them i would do that for somone.

Perhaps he mentioned they were hispanic in order to shape some perspective of the situation for us. Hispancis tend to come from countries that often have a less structured system of law enforcement than the US, particularly when it comes to the rough streets.
Perhaps at the time of the attempted robbery, lovejoy was reminded that Hispanics are known for their ferocity, and skills with a weapon, and therefore mentioned their ethnicity as a means to convey the intensity of the situation. It is possible that he was in no way was trying to confer that "Hispanics are predisposed to violent crime" but that his fear was heightened by the increased likelihood of his attackers' dexterity with lethal weapons.

No no no to all of them. And for so many reasons. Dying in 9/11 was an arbritrary death and I would not give my life just to prevent the 9/11 attack from killing 3000 people. Nor would I give my life for 3000 cancer victims or for ANY particular set of 3000 people.
Now, I WOULD give my life it were guaranteed to stop all future senseless acts of violence. But just to stop the 9/11 attack from happening? No way, because there are plenty of other things coming around the corner and they all happen in the course of shaping world history and if I can't stop them all then why stop any of them when all that does is allow its substitute to occur?
Just to make a point here:
What about 3000 people from dying from natural causes?
Anyone who would answer yes to that one is an enemy of the human race. The world is already becoming overwhelmed and our constant unnatural tinkering with cycle of life is damaging enough.

Is there enough room for 2-4 billion more people? Seems to me the joint is already overcrowded. Everywhere I look there's fucking people, I wish they would just stay away from me. All I'm saying is don't fuck w/ nature, we saw just last month how truly powerful she can be and I am a firm believer in her karmic intentions.

Well, it would actually be 1.5 to 3.5 more billion people (there is about 6.4-6.5 now).
Also, the western world's population's are already starting to decline. If it wasen't for immigration - most of the 'west's' countries would apparently be going down in population already.
Yes. For the nearly 3,000, yes to spare all of their families left behind to grieve.
Yes. To eradicate cancer.
Yes. For one of my kids.
Yes, one life for the greater good of all, yes.
And no, I don't need to be remembered or even acknowledged.
I know, that's enough for me.

like fox, i would risk my life, but not forfiet my life.
Yes, but seeing how crazy these fucking Arabs are I would have probably died for nothing. Something like that would have happened sooner or later anyway with the way things are in the world right now. I saw 9/11 first hand and I hope something like it never happens again.
