This is just wrong....

[ebpda9]

i don't know guys about you if u watched the news or read the papers in the past few weeks but i have seen a lot of 9/11 anyversary. what is wrong with them newscasters, and paper editors. usually aniversary means something to celebrate, something to be happy of, but 9/11 c'mon. what are they talibans ? arabs ? why do they have to refer to it as something like we were supposed to be glad of it (aniversary) i think we should refer to it as a comemoration. just my $0.02. and btw i'm not an american yet.

Technically it can mean either thing, but I understand where you're coming from Stefan. This stuff is all over the news and whatnot. I know it will never happen, but I wish it was downplayed just a little. This isn't out of disrespect to those who were lost, but to give less satisfaction to those who created this whole mess.

Its to remind us what we stand for! and not let us forget how easy it is to get caught up in everyday life and forget the important things in life. You aught to get use to it, itll be happening for a while.:paranoid:

[ebpda9]

no i'm not saying that we shoud forget that. it's just the aniversary word. i might be wrong but when somebody mentions anniversary my mind goes to something pleasant.

dude its a good thing they're bring up.. do you remember the weeks following 911... *mind drifts back and 2001 music plays* people were talking to strangers, less bitching about how hard life was. *slap*
now we're back to "normal" and isn't it just GREAT *sarcasim* to be honest you americans forget to fast! It was so easy to solute your nation but i dont see the same patriotism (sp?) as i did last year. If i was americian i would be in the armed forces right now but seeing how i can't do that i'm looking around to the rest of you *looks* and i see nothing but the same old. wheres your drive to better the world and help your country?

When i heard/saw the event happening on tv that tuesday you know what my first thought was? to get in my car and drive to NY and see if there was something i could help with. If you dont believe me even ask my friends (well the only one you can talk to is dimitry) but then i heard they closed the boarders and well i watch things unfold on tv.

I dont forget about it, I think about everyday. Don't question my patriotism.

Personally, I feel that the media is bullshit. I was in NYC a couple months after all that went down. There were all these tourists that were all taking pictures of one another right near Ground Zero. What a bunch of assholes. They weren't done recovering all of the victims. That's like going into a cemetary and taking all sorts of pictures. So disrespectful. It's understandable if people want to go there and have a moment of silence and pay their respects but for god's sake, don't take the family vacation portrait there. We live about an hour and a half away from NY. My dad is a firefighter and so is one of my good friends. They went down there the weekend after to help. Neither of them took pictures out of respect but the fire chief did. In terms of the media, they're morons. I was reading an article on msnbc several months back about airport security and the loopholes. This site actually put up a little map marking where it would be the easiest to get a bomb in. Why the hell would anyone do that?

Here is an article I just read regarding all this... http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,62415,00.html

hmmmmm. I wonder where I get it from. I LEARNED IT FROM WATCHING YOU! ;) Anyone remember that commercial?

[Racing Rice]

On a more lighter note. Did anyone see the thing about the football player that quite playing football to join the military after 9/11. They did a piece on him on ESPN (I think.) It was pretty touching. To bad I cant remember his name. My memory sucks these days.:rolleyes:

Hey didn't Elvis do that too?

Definatly don't question my patriotism either. Its not an option for everyone in the country to just quit their jobs, leave their families, and join the military. There wasn't a whole hell of a lot that I could do about 9/11. Just because I didn't pick up a gun and hunt down the bastard that did this doesn't mean I'm not an American patriot. Before you bunch all American's into one stereotype just remember, "Canadian", that some of us did all we could and some of us went above and beyond. Just because there are some of us that don't wish to dwell on a horrible incident doesn't mean that we aren't patritoic. I don't need the twin towers tatooed on my back to be patriotic. I am just as patriotic today as I was before this happened. Some of us don't need a ground shaking event to remind us of who we are.

I see both sides of it, in a way I don't think they should make 9/11 a national holiday. I remember very cleary the day this all happened. People were crying at work, we actually got sent home because I work downtown. All I did was cry on the way home and the rest of the day listening to the radio.

That day tore me apart (getting teary eyed just talking about it)
But then I try to think about all the families who actually lost love ones there. And this day would be in rememberance of them. And It would bring everyone closer together, even if it is just for the week following and the day of 9/11. It is so people dont forget what happened, and the people who lost there lives.

guys...I know this may be a bad thing...but for some reason(i think it's how my parents brought me up, thought they seem to car)
I don't care about 9/11 or anything like that...it just doesn't effect me...i don't care...i don't have love in my life, i don't have feelings...

You don't have any feeling when you think about all the people who died and all of their families? breaks my heart when i think about it.;(

[mylittlecivic]

they should call it a memorial

[Zybach]

This will sound bad but 9/11 was good for the economy. Just like Saddam Hussein:paranoid:

what ? everything went down after that. i remeber how they were speculating how many jobs will be lost, and all the crashes in the market. how many big companies fell afterwards ? and it's not all over yet. on cnn they said 1 in 3 jobs will be lost by the end of the year

Does that guy have teeth? He's upset about the situation. Yeah, I work for a bank and we're having a moment of silence. You know who I feel really bad for? The families of the people that were just physically never found dead or alive. That's so sad. I get scared sometimes because I think they're gonna do something again. If I ever saw anyone trying some shit like that, I would honestly kill them and spit on them. That sounds gross but I don't really care. Who the F are they to come into our country and do that?

[Spazum888]

the nation just went to lever "orange" (high alert) :rolleyes:

[msvtec14]

Yeah, I know. I just read it and then I went and watched in on TV on my break. That's odd as I was just saying how I worry.

[Spazum888]

i really dont worry... just alittle concerned.

[msvtec14]

I just think it sucks that on a day where we should be remembering what happened and mourning, we have to worry about these MoFos pulling more bullshit.
