Impact of 9/11..

Hedge · 29 Jun 2016 at 10:09

Do you think we would have had the Brexit and do you think Donald Trump would be so popular had 9/11 not happened?

It made the world freak out about terrorism and assume every immigrants was a risk. Was 9/11 the catalyst for everything we are seeing right now?

Dunno if there is a discussion here. Just pondering

It's an insult to the dead to think such a thing. Conspiracy idiots need to spend less time on the internet.

If 9/11 never happened, something much worse could have. On the other hand, maybe nothing would have? You could also argue the 2008 financial crisis would not have happened either. There are a million possible out comes, which makes Brexit look irrelevant in comparison

I don't think 9/11 was a conspiracy but it's not an insult to look into these things, stranger things have happened.

Nobody is insulting the dead, get over yourself.

Legitimate question but we're human after all, we probably would have found another reason to have wars/hate each other a little more.

Im sure there would have been another reason eventually.

I agree with this part. Far too much nonsense out there with far too many people believing it.

Noel Edmonds' Anti-Cancer positivity machine, UFO knowledge at Area 51, a well thought out plan of standing alone in Europe with Boris in charge..

Something worse would have happened, as we wouldnt have upped our game against it.

The wars that 9/11 triggered have had much further reaching impact on the world than the act it's self. But I certainly view it as a pivotal point in my life and I feel like it set the tone for this century.

The Bush administration were determined to topple Saddam in spite of 9/11 so we may have been in a similar position regardless.

The way things are going in the news and social media, I give it until the end of the week before Corbyn gets the blame for 9/11.

Basically the state of the entire world today is because of some dodgy counting in Florida in the year 2000 which led to GWB as president instead of Al Gore.
