Am I the only one who sicks of hearing about 9/11

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I'm a American and I've never understood why Americans like to celebrate bad things all of the time.

What we really should be focusing on is the awful hitler-like Bush who starts Wars for no reason what so ever.

What say all of you? Should the world continue to focus on a day thats long past or the unjust war in Iraq?

 

[Cyclops]

Dude, we still commemorate Pearl Harbor, well over sixty years after the fact. We still commemorate the Kennedy assassination. All over the world, terrible events from the past are commemorated all the time. It's not an American thing, it's a human thing.

Now stop being such an idiot.

 

[Avalanche]

America, and the world for that matter, isn't 'celebrating' a bad thing. They're remembering the many who lost their lives.

The fact you're 'sick' of hearing about 9/11 shows an utter lack of respect for all those who died.

If it riles you that much, turn the TV off.

 

[Ronny Shade]

I'm sick of it too

Today is not a day of celebration; it’s a day of remembrance. Today is not about how 9/11 happened; it’s about who was lost on 9/11.

I’m all for holding Bush’s feet to the fire about the war and many other things; just not today.

Please, propaganda anyone? Bush and other people who constantly want people to feel sorry for america and get away with it's crimes because of that day, are the people who show an utter lack of respect for all those who died.

 

[Zaed]

OP, you need to ****.

It's fools like you that dont remember the significance of 9/11 and how it changed America forever that give decent people a bad name.

You want to tell all the friends, families, and anyone that cares about what happened that day to "Just get over it?"

If i could put my foot through the monitor and kick you in the nuts, i would do it.

 

[Ronny Shade]

It changed America badly

One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. We are remembering the people that died, not just the Americans. Nobody should feel sorry for America, they should feel sorry for those that lost their lives and their family. No matter what your views are of our government and those that run it, the meaning of today is not up for debate!

Whether you believe it changed America for the better or for the worst you still should never forget about it.

"Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

Well thats going to be hard to do considering I don't have nuts.

Anyway, I never said that the families should just get over it, I would never say anything like that. Most familes do mourn their loved ones in private though, does that make their pain any less? No. I feel sorry for those people but their pain isn't any worse than anybody else's who lost a family member to murder or an accident.

 

[Gonking]

I'm not tired of listen about it, but I think that there are a lot of things happening in the world nowadays more important and terrible than this anniversary.

I'm not talking about forgeting about it.

 

[Cyclops]

Could'a fooled me.

 

[Ronny Shade]

nobody bothers to commemorate the Oklahoma City bombing, do they?

But you see, that day the whole country was in pain. That's why the country is remembering, not celebrating.

Wait until the ten year anniversary comes up and we'll see.

This is exactly what I think.

What are you talking about? Every anniversary of the OKC bombing they have a memoria commemoration.

 

[Ronny Shade]

I don't ever hear about it

 

[The Squirrel]

Now stop being such an idiot.

 

[Cyclops]

Maybe it doesn't make national news. Doesn't mean it isn't held.

 

[Lurk]

Perhaps it's because I don't put any stock in anniversaries in first place (including my own wedding anniversary, birthday, etc.), but I do think we should "move on" in that 9/11 doesn't need to take center-stage in everyone life because it happened exactly so many years from said date. Obviously, the lives taken should be respected, obviously, we should "remember" the tragedy and make all efforts to prevent it from happening again. But I don't think any one date should have any more or less significance than another. We should be respecting and remembering everyday, so I don't feel the need to "come together" just because it happens to be a certain day on the calendar; to me, that feels fake and forced.

It's been over 11 years since the Oklahoma City Bombing; and yes on the 10 year anniversary there was alot of press and even nationaly broadcasted specials.
