Remembering 911

[VICTORVONDOOMX]

We've been saying that for six years. There has been something planned for America every day in those six years, just as there was something planned every day for six years before 9/11. Should we really live in a state of perpetual fear because something might but probably not happen?

Not at all and I do not think it was suggested.
Let me ask you: Is it too much to ask that we simply remember the day, the victims, the vitriol that caused it once a year? If only to further inform our historically muddy foriegn policy in the Middle East...

Again, it is one thing to pay respects, it is another to make a public spectacle. And to try to use it to influence policy against the Middle East is about as much of a public spectacle as you can get.

Wow... Do you read your own predispositions into everything others say?
When I said "inform" our foriegn policy... how the hell did you come up with "influence policy against?" I was implying just the opposite. If you're going to try to read my mind... don't. Also when I say "remember" how did you get "public spectacle?"
Next time just respond to what I say, not the voices in your head.

Someone is defensive. Maybe you should be more clear. Your comments about "Informing on our muddy history with the Middle East", combined with the comment on how there are constantly threats, imply to me that you feel stronger action is needed against the Middle East and this day should be used as a rallying point. If you are not capable of articulating a point, do not blame me for interpreting the vague comments you make.

Apparently you are confused. I've not said anything about a constant threat, just like I never said anything about a public spectacle or influencing policy against the middle east.

Do not blame me for your inability to remember or make cogent points. Do not blame me because you don't make sense and tend to favor your own ideas about what someone is saying over what they've actually written.

Perhaps you should lie down...?

How conveinent that you left out your first post. I could go through and bold everything you said which led to my conclussion, but frankly, you are not worth the time. Atleast Celldog has a tiny brain in his head...where as you don't seem to have any.

I save my serious comments for serious topics.

If people could make threads such as this, give rememberance to September 11, on a yearly basis, without political inuendo......and without political motive behind each word, I would believe that their memories were being held in high regard, with the truest of intentions, and honor. But this thread, like most of the TV coverage, political speeches, etc, are not started with the truest of intentions, and are filled to overflowing with political inuendo and political motive, therefore the day of rememberance, for me anyway, is more of a vomit inducing experience, rather than a time of rememberance, and looking forward.

No birthday wishs at all. Guys come on. Just one happy birthday.

No, once again, you are more concerned about your own idea of what someone has written than what they actually intended. I'll bet that head HURTS your neck. Not everything bad being planned comes from the middle east, Matt. And you are not correct to have such an inflated opinion of your tiny self.

I could have told you this thread would bring out all the *******s. Ask me next time.

Excellent post.

another year of this

 

[Kelly]

But what can you actaully say in a thread like this without opinions behind anything?

You'd get the same response. "Yes, I DO remember that day. It sure was a bad one!"

There is something to be said about remembering in silence, and simply saying a prayer for those that are still with us, and a moment to remember the faces of those that we have lost.


I choose to do that.....


And I leave it at that.

Start a damn thread....

If my wife is taken away from me, I can damn guarantee you that I will mourn her for as long as I can remember her face. It has nothing to do with mental health.

So if there was video footage of her death. You would watch her die every year, & remember her that way, or would you just sit at her grave for a while, & remember the good times. Then go to work?

 

[knowsbleed]

I don't see 9/11 as watching a video over and over again of the planes crashing into the WTC...if that's what you're trying to get at.

 

[Carcharodon]

What compounds the tragedy of 9/11 is that it's been made into an excuse to kill even more people, American or not.

 

[Ghostvirus]

That is the logic of most people remembering. Look at all the pictures that Memphis posted. There are people dieing in those buildings, but no body gives a sh**.

God Bless All Of Those Who Were Harmed In The 9-11 Attacks

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Two significant events I remember exactly where I was: The Death of Princess Diana and 9/11.

I was in my sophomore year of high school and I'd woken up my usual 6 in the morning. Turned on the radio to listen to the Doghouse and that's when I heard about it. Turned on the TV immediately after and saw footage of the second plane hitting. Crazy stuff.

Honestly I wasn't emotionally affected by it at all. I'm west coast and don't know a single person out there. It was a terrible thing to happen but I just couldn't connect to it.

People are angry about Bush,and a lot of things that he did.Some think that he had a part in this,the fact that the attacks could have been avoided.You don't have to be American to see this simple fact.

Yeah, 3/11, 7/7, 5/16 and the Fort Dix scare proved how unlikely it is to happen.

Is it wrong to say, I just don't care anymore? Its been 6 years now. 6 YEARS. Time to move on. And I'm not saying to act like it never happened, but do we really need another day where every news program in the country is devoted to nothing but this? Where every newspaper has the towers burning on the front page? Its been six years, lets move on.

Except we are going to have what you described for the next 10-15 years or so.


*thinks* How long since Pearl Harbor? Give it 20 years.

 

[Addendum]

Fort Dix? Oh you mean that "plot" where the guys would have dressed up as pizza delivery guys, attempt to kill as many highly trained soldiers on a military base, and then "attempt to escape with no losses"? When I heard about the plot and the details of it, it wasn't threatening.

 

[SuperMonkey]

So you think just because it would have been difficult, it's impossible.

We would have thought it would have been impossible for 16 (or however many there were) whackjobs to hijack four planes and kill 3000 people, before it happened.

Well....here we are on another anniversary. I still remember what I was doing. It was a Tuesday morning. The small TV was on in the dispatch office, with the volume turned down. Someone runs into the office and says that a plane hit the WTC. Everyone figured it was a small commuter plane....a cessna prop job. Then I saw the video footage on the screen.....the shot that I saw still looked like a small plane. But I don't live NYC so I had one real idea of how massive those towers were in relation to a jet liner. Then as we were looking the, news said it was an Airbus.......immediately I knew this was huge. Then right before our eyes (on CBS live feed) the second plane slammed into the other tower.

At that moment I told my boss "We're under attack". It was one scary day. People were looking in the skies all day. Wondering about other possible planes.

Thank God for the brave souls on FLT 93 who fought back. Thank God for the rescue workers who rushed in to save lives that day.

I think that the war on terror has become a victim of it's own success. A while ago, someone posted a disturbing thread asking,"Is there really a war on terror?" Wow. Six years and we have not had another one of these on our soil. There have been attempts. But they have been foiled. And as is human nature, if it ain't happening, it doesn't exist. We should learn from that day, that it doesn't matter if you believe a war exists......THEY DO. And that's all it took.

We better wake up.

Well said.

I was just starting my junior year I believe. Then this bull happened.

though it was nice to have the day off, the horror of seeing two towers fall like that just...

I knew life sucked, I'm from the bronx where you get beat up for just existing, but I didn't know it sucked that much...
