I think that we should never forget those events because we start to lower our guard and then bang we have another terro attack

Its one thing to remember the past, its another to have 24/7 news coverage on it 5 years afterwards.

This is the most tramatic experience that anyone has been thru in the past couple of years. I think I would be more upset if they didnt cover it. 24/7 is a bit extreme but there should be some coverage

Five years ago. For a couple years, I agree...memorials were appropriate. But there is a time when you just gotta move on. It sounds insensitive, sure...but its life. You can't mourn over something forever.

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?

Long past? No one is celebrating that day..... and that's a pretty idiotic word to use, especially when bringing up what happened. Stay home... don't read the papers or watch TV. No one is forcing you to acknowledge the thousands of people that died that day.

No one here asked Bush to fly his ass over just so he could pay his "respects"....... and that's unfair to say you can't mourn forever... especially when I had people telling me how they knew someone who died that day all day yesterday.

I guess it's easier for the rest of the country/world to "move on" because they don't live here or have that constant reminder. I choose not to mourn it but I can't help it if it's something that still hurts.

And do you really think having the images of the World Trade Center burning thrown in someone's face every time they turn on the TV is going to help the hurt?

5 years is pretty recent. Did someone you love die in the attack? I'm guessing no.

Speaking for myself.... I could care less what the hell the media shows... I stayed away from the TV and radio and newspapers... and mourned my own way. I don't need to be reminded of what happened... it's not like I'll ever get that image or smoke out of my head.

Which is why I won't see any of these 9/11 based movies or anything related to it. Again speaking for myself... I shut everything out yesterday and took some time to reflect on my own.

Anyone catch the presidential address last night? Biggest load of bull**** I've ever witnessed..

^Worse than his usual State of the Union?

Frankly, I think they should give the people some time to heal instead of showing Towers blown up and reopening the wounds. Sure, go ahead, show the memorial services, but we don't need to see the tragedy replayed again and again and again.

They should tell us what measures have been taken to prevent this happening again, but they don't need to show us the cause for the measures. I think everyone knows now exactly what those Towers looked like when they collapsed.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Okay, I'm back and all I have to say to the people who think that I am b**ching and am completely insensetive is; my sister died on october the 22 2004 in a car accident, she was 31 years old. I live in ohio and she lived in California, so we didn't get to see eachother nearly as often as I liked. She was an extremely smart, beautiful and caring mother of four who almost never complained about anything, despite the fact that she had severe scoliosis and couldn't get surgery to aleave the pain, because she was burned over most of her body when she was six years old. I always hated that she was in constant pain but always admired her will to work past it try to better her life. Words can not even to begin to express how much I will miss her smile, her laugh, her terrible singing voice and her extremely dirty mouth. She was a kind of a hippy, played by her own rules. Our disgreements were many ofcourse, but I couldn't have asked for a better older sister.

When I was told that she had fallen asleep at the wheel of her car and died I was shocked and sadden to likes of which I never thought I could be. I still miss her and still cry for her. I will always miss her but I refuse to let that rule my life and nobody should because the truth is death is a part of life, that is something we all should remember.

Do I rememer her death? Yes. Do I get lumps in my throat and heart come October? Yes. Would she want me to move on? Absolutely! And I am for the most part. I will never forget that day and I will never forget her but nobody but her family and friends remember that day and it is no less important than 9/11. The families should move on and so should America, focus on the things that are happening now, don't ignore them for one day, that doesn't belong to the 9/11 families.

Seriously, there's something wrong with you.
3000 Americans died, and your first thought is "get over it, move on"?

So because you've managed to move past your sister's death.... you feel those who lost family that day should do the same? It doesnt' work that way.....but maybe you should tell one of those people who watched the TV as their father or mother or sister had to make a choice... burn to death or jump 100 stories... to "get over it".

Death, mourning.... they have no timetable..... and i'm sorry but it's moronic to tell someone, much less a whole country to move on after something like that...

Quite frankly it's insensitive....

 

[Addendum]

All you people that are sick and tired of the memorializing of Sept 11 are insensitive jerks and you need to wait till your child dies or something and people are sick and tired of your mourning over your lost child...then you will understand why people were very hurt over this. Loss of life is just that: loss of life. Not a pleasant thing by any means and that means we dont have to forget about the people we lost. A lot of Americans felt like the people that died in those towers that day were their own relatives and friends because as crazy as it sounds Americans do actually care about other Americans when the need arises.

If I'm ever dumb enough to have a kid, or another family member dies, I honestly don't give a damn if someone who isn't in my family is sick and tired of our mourning.

 

[Excel]

people get "not being able to move on" and "remembering" confused.

america has for the most part moved on.

but every 9/11 were going to remember. what are we gonna do, ignore it?

 

[Spidey-Bat]

The media overdoes 9/11 like they over do just about everything. A good example is Reagan's funeral. They cancelled all the D-Day specials just to have coverage on his death.

 

[The Question]

Way I see it, no one's ever going to forget about 9/11. They don't really need to keep reminding us.

 

[Cyrusbales]

More people die every day in africa, that all the victims of the 9/11 disaster, surely people should be reminded of that instead?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Americans obviously feel more sympathetic about things that happen on our own soil.

 

[Cyrusbales]

Also, the amount of civilians killed due to 9/11 reactions/counter attack, exceeds the death toll of 9/11 by many fold.

 

[The Question]

Im sick and tired of candy ass liberals whining about the invasion of iraq. ****

Well, I'm sure most of them are tired of the fact that we're still in Iraq. This isn't an arguement anyone's going to win.
