9/11

[shinotebasiiackh]

It's September the 11th, which, I think, is a day that needs no further introduction

A day when every American remembers both where he or she was, what they were doing, and the feelings that attacked us, the moment we heard what had happened.


A heartfelt silence to all of those who lost loved ones on that day, and just as much, those who share the feelings of loss that our country has suffered as a whole, since this tragic day.

God bless America.

Yeah, never forget and all that patriotic hoo-hah.

I'll be honest.  I was too young to understand exactly what was going on.  More or less, other than an 'oh wow' and the occasional "OMFG TOWEL-HEADS" from my class-mates that day was pretty normal. :\

I mean, sure I feel bad that it happened at all, but let's be honest, there's a difference between remembering a tragedy and celebrating having one more excuse to blow up the "DIRTY, UN-MURKAN TOWEL HEADS".

If you don't think or speak like that, you have no reason to be offended.

[ZeroKirbyX]

Yeah Dom, they do. You pretty much just said that we remember 9/11 so we can go shoot people.

[Dominicy]

That's not quite how I intended it, but I guess I see what you mean.

[Dominicy]

In my defense, I was about six.  I didn't even know what the hell was going on.  Pardon me for, at that age, not to really get what had even happened.

i'm not sure how old i was, but I was in kentucky when it happened, Probably about age 5-7

I'm sorry, but what is more tragic with people getting kileld by an airplane rather than a tsunami? I'm just wondering, 'cuz soem years back in december there was a tsunami in Thailand, Thailand is also the most common holiday travelin-place for us Swedes and many families died just in one day.
And yet, we didn't have a minute of silence for them to honor their death.

But did you know what? On 9/11, we had it in the papers and teve, I will be disrespectful here, I'm sorry for everyone who lost someone. But I don't care if some americans died when a tower collapsed. Why did we, all the schools and jobs need to keep a silence minutre for you?
It makes no sense, about the same ammount of Swedes, or even more. Was killed in the tsunami, perhaps 13 was killed when they were tourists in Manhattan. And not to talk about the thailand-ish people that were killed. Do you think that 9/11 had more destruction than Thailand during the tsunami? No, certainly not.

And yet, they still remind us of 9/11 just because of the terrorists, and that's all. It's not about honoring the dead for the papers and the people in control, it's just to remind us of the fact that one day, in like: many years. There was one(1) terrorist attack that killed some people.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't even have written any of this, but telling someone to be ashamed of themself for not caring too much about a tower collapsing just isn't right.

Once again, Fredrik has made me gay.

The tsunami wasn't done by man, the falling of the towers was. People don't have moments of silence for Hurricane Katrina either.

[Dominicy]

edit: oh, you're a swede. hahaha, well that's cute, I thought you were someone I should take seriously for a second, sorry about that.

I'll remind you that I'm half German, half Austrian, so I guess you don't need to worry too much about me either.  After all, you've come to expect this kind of thing from us Nazis, right?

[Dominicy]

I went to a school close to an American base.  I'll just be leaving this topic be for now, though.  I don't have much respect left for you after that whole comment about not having to take Fredrik seriously because he's Swedish, so I doubt I'd be able to take you seriously if this went any further, any way.

[Revolution911]

So who's gunna be the cock to try and pin 9/11 as a conspiracy.

I know one of you are thinking about it.  DO IT.

[X_marks_the_ed]

I'm sorry, but on a topic like this, I'm not affected. It's one of the few things that does not affect me in any way, shape, or form. I'm not saying it's not something of a great calibur, I'm just saying I'm not affected, It's not a great calibur to me. I had learned around the time it happened that people will kill others to benefit themselves. I had already sewn it into my brain at that time and it's still there now. I just can't see it as 'suprizing' as many thought as it was.

There is a reason we haven't achieved World Peace yet.

[Meiscool-2]

See, I hate topics like this. If you want to hold your head in sorrow over the events that happened here, you could do that at your job/school/where ever, but I wouldn't expect someone to do it in an international area such as a forum. I'd say that maybe 50% of the active members here are American?

I know this forum is a bunch of lame "People should die cuzs theys be ruiningz teh earthzors" and stuff, and then there are a bunch of "any death, no matter how it occured, is terrible" 's out there.... but come on. This happened seven years ago, I'm sure that the people who've lost family have moved on... and so should we who it didn't directly effect.

If the events of 9/11 did in fact effect someone here in a way other than by making them wait longer at the airpoint, sorry for my insensitivity towards your loss.
