The Source/Cause of the Infection!

[Eviebae]

I think there are platforms more suited to the discussion of that particular aspect of America's history. It also serves to push individuals away who don't view that event as being significant to them. There are people all over the world who have lived through mindbogglingly terrible events on a daily basis that would consider that particular event to be relatively inconsequential when juxtaposed to their village or city being carpet-bombed for days/weeks/months. Or living in cities where buses/cars/buildings explode on a weekly basis. Continually throwing it into the context of a singular event shows a lack of empathy for all of the people who deal with it as part of their daily existence.

All I'm saying is broaden the context.

I think if you want the discussion broadened, broaden it. "Shut up already about 9/11" is way less interesting than "you know what else illustrates or negates that point is..."

You're putting words in my mouth that I simply did not say.

But sure sounded like that's what you were saying

Then perhaps you need to re-read what I said without the bias that I'm intimating what you want me to.

I have no bias either way. Note that I haven't even taken part in the discussion 'till now, I'm just calling the situation as I see it as an outsider with an objective viewpoint. Perhaps you need to take a step away and think through what you want to be saying and what you're actually saying, as these don't seem to be the same thing at the moment?

Regardless, this has become entirely off-topic. If you wish to continue discussing along these lines, take it to the chatbox, PMs or other suitable medium and allow the thread to get back to what it was about: possible sources/causes for the outbreak.

Hey guys, don't let this take away from the discussion that this thread is about please. Different perspectives.
Back to source of the infection...

See, I've obviously already read your point and if I were truly so blinded by my biases rereading it wouldn't help. What I'd like you to do is to say "It sounds like you think A; what I was trying to say was B. To engage as an equal rather than with labels. I want you to explain why I'm wrong not just call me biased.

So this is the road you really want to travel down with me? I said what I meant and I very much meant what I said. If you need it spelled out for you, here:

If you want to draw comparisons between what is taking place in the story of We're Alive and events of terrorism in the real world, then do so, but continually using 9/11 as your 'go-to terrorist event' limits the direction that the dialogue will proceed in. Perhaps broadening the structure of the comparison would be a better way to engage everyone in the discussion along the lines which you seem to feel a need to touch upon.'

Are you a little more clear on the intention and the language used? If not we can go in circles some more. If you feel the need to put words in my mouth perhaps you're the one that needs to step away from the discussion.

Did you not read the quote above that which you quoted? That comment was not directed at you. Unless of course, you are Luna Guardian.

Sorry,
I'll move on...

I think it was a good point to suggest that it might not be an "infection." Thinking truly outside the box, what else could it be?
Ooooooh, I think I've said this before but how about it's the result of something from another dimension moving through our own--like a cube moving through flatland type thing! A creature that is organized so differently than us, when it moves though our dimension all we see is this bizarre "change" in our world. That might provide the detail of organization.
