We Will Never Forget

I understand some peoples sentiments about not over emphasizing 9/11 when many terrible things have happend.

Yet. This was a 9/11 thread made on 9/11 in remembrance of "that" event.

There is nothing wrong with takeing a moment to remember that day and those events. on 9/11 of all days.

Takeing this subject and makeing lite of it in light of other events, would be like attending a funeral and telling everyone there Dont be sad people die all the time.

Not cool people....

Believe it or not, I was a fourth grader (I didn't know I was grey/human hybrid) when the events of September 11 unfolded.

When I got up in the morning I saw it on almost any channel I could get.

My point was not the individuals that suffered, for there were many, but the way the media was (and still is) so centered around it.

Maybe I'm just a little tired of everyone preaching of how terrible it was, and how it caused such a significant change in the world. Well it probably wouldn't have if they hadn't placed so much upon it, with the war and everything, using it as their excuse to go and cash in on oil.

I never mean disrespect to the people who died and lost family/friends, but there gets to a certain point when we really should let it go.

Think of it this way... What if you had someone you were very close to and they died in those towers that day? Wouldn't be so easy to forget would it?

Yes, but the Tsunami (along with every other natural disaster) does not DECIDE to kill you.

Yesterday I was walking to class and happened to pass by the lawn area of campus at 8:46, just in time to see the flag being lowered to half mast and hear a bagpiper (my school is the tartans, so we have a bagpiper) playing Amazing Grace. For the first time since I've been up here (this semester) it was extremely fogggy, and the music was really touching.

Oh, for all the "we're the villains" people here (I'm one of them, but I mostly don't care, I know it wasn't about oil, if it was then the politicians in charge would have to be stupid ****s, but anyways) I've always thought this was a great image (someone's sig from another forum) :

I feel sorry for the victims but their is a time where you have to move on and think about everything that happens in the world!
Because believe me their are alot of bad things going on out their which are sometimes overlooked!

Not to be a total dick but: http://englishplus.com/grammar/00000256.htm . Now back to the topic on hand, the biggest reason this is still around was that the people who died are people that other Americans care about on a personal level. Homeless guy dies: if he was homeless it's a good chance he had nobody who cared about him. Iraqui dies: unless they have family in America, in which case there would be little chance that they would be being killed in guerilla warfare, nobody cares.

I can't remember where I was going with this at all, but yea something something.
