      Thank you Irish Carbomb. I come back to this clip frequently just to hear Papa Burns and his comments to better ground myself during these tragedies.
      If you really are the one that started this dialogue, again, thank you. This clip wouldn't exist without it and we wouldn't have this brilliant slice of insight from Burnie.

      He was right though. We moved on. We didn't give in out of fear, we didn't let it change the way we live. The only exception, of course, is security. People have willingly given up freedoms for more security, and I am ashamed of that. But at least we didn't just do exactly what the terrorists wanted like some countries have done.

      +Dylan Wolters All he was saying is that small external attacks won't be what brings us down (thanks commenter below). Look at what happened when the twin towers fell; we didn't fall with them, we were knocked to our knees but we got up, dusted ourselves off, and got to work fighting your 'pointless war' to they and prevent the pain we felt from the attack from happening to other countries across the globe.

      Burnie overreacted to an obvious sarcastic/troll comment on a micro scale, Joel addressed it from a macro scale. Joel was correct that some dude with a pressure cooker in Boston isn't gonna do jack all to the USA, and the attacker's small for that reason. Burnie was also saying the attacker's small, just talking about it from an emotional standpoint.

    For some context, Gavin said he'd like to die in style (nothing related to Boston). They were talking about it when someone tweeted that discussing death after the bombing was in poor taste. I think Burnie's message is that we shouldn't change the things we do or talk about, because that's what the bomber wants.

Watching Immersion is pretty hardcore man, love watching that. Halo 3, I heard ur voice, one of the Marines. I played all them, Halo is my first favorite game. Hearing the soundtrack of Halo, reminds me of the church... I go to the church all the time, when it's Sunday. Church is not good with the sniper. Me either, I'm not good with it. Still.

Instead, he cuts Burnie off in the middle of this impassioned speech to rattle off a little bit about how the terrorists will not be the downfall of America. That's a fine message to have, just not at that exact second. As you said, what Burnie said was much more powerful.
