Whatever you believe, conspiracy or terrorism, three thousand people died on that day and many more since.
They need remembering.

I don't like that your post seems to be based on 9/11, and in your reviews you try and make it sound like you're talking about everyone everywhere everytime who died. You're not, so don't fudge it because you don't want to get hit too hard by the unpatriotic or just plain foreign types.
The hypocrisy of all of the hype surrounding this makes my fucking skin crawl.
"I'm sorry, America, for your nosebleed. Now, can we please see to doing something about the decapitation, mutilation, and torture occurring throughout the rest of the world, in delightfully named "hotspots", so as to better remind us all of our MidWinter Sun Semesters to Mallorca? Hm? Oh? Ok, we're busy today... what was that? Acquiring oil? Oh, ok. FINE."

God knows the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki still haven't forgotten their attacks.

two buildings = entire cities razed by nuclear bombs
nice comparison!
on the other hand, i could understand if new yorkers held ceremonies everyday, but i don't understand why the world stop on that day. well actually i do. because the medias are out of content and like to ask the same questions every year: "WHERE WERE U ON 9/11!?" "HOW DID YOU LIVE THROUGH THAT DAY!?"
from what i remember, most people were only excited...not necessarily happy, just excited. like they were watching a movive.
WOW DUDE, DID U SEE THAT?
YEAH I DID!
OMFG!
WOW
SHIT
WOW
DAH-AM
CALL SOMEONE
WHOA!
I know a new yorker who moved to montreal who was in high scool at the time. he told me most kids were just happy that school was out and were playing with debris.
i'm not saying it wasn't a tragic event. but it's been perverted in a rather disgusting manner by people who mistake mourning and remembrance with vulgarity and entertainment.

Sad that those rescue teams and workers that were doing the cleaning up will die too or are dead already since Giuliani and his team declared the area as safe/not polluted.
That should be remembered as the number of these avoidable deaths will outnumber those of the actual collapse.
Live in peace.

I don't know that much about The Crusades, so I'm not going to try to make fun of you.
Oh, if only it had been a bigger part of my life, I could sufficiently make you out as the douchebag you mostly likely are.
Next time, post about 9/11, make it easier on all of us.
I mean, at least that hasn't been overdone to all hell.

Which is funny, because that's pretty much the same thought I had when I saw it in my recent reviews thing.
I blame it on hooch.

I'll bet he's either rotting because he died of kidney failure a year ago or he's rubbing one out in the bathroom of an unremarkable house in Saudi.

Despite the real tragedy this day represents, I feel historically it will be remembered ultimately as 'Leverage Day'.

how many years will this last?
-----------------------------------------------------
Probably as long as the uber server remains in US. That's not aimed at Bart's beliefs (of which I know nothing), but more at the ethnocentric views of many-to-most Americans. Most Uberers are Americans, and at least some of them will share in this ethnocentrism (?). And as long as they do, this will last.
That being said, I find a flaw in the whole "don't know them, won't mourn them" attitude. I find that the same people that take this approach also say "what about the X number of people that died in X country?" I mean, if you're dismissing the deaths of your fellow American citizens' deaths because you didn't know them personally, then you're effectively dismissing all those people dying. And this is fine, I guess. I'm not sending roses to anyone.
The bottom line is that 3,000 people died in the worst terrorist attack in US history, and because it happened here it was highly publicized and there are pictures, footage, interviews and many other forms of media to last several lifetimes. I'm sure if the attack occurred in Ottawa or London or Madrid, they'd have a remembrance every year thereafter. God knows the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki still haven't forgotten their attacks.

Let it go.
They don't need our remembering.
They're dead, and they don't need anything.
People live.
People die.
It happens.

While I agree to an extent, I also do not know any of these people nor any of those who were affected by Madrid or London so while I do feel a kind of general empathy it's not enough to really affect my day to day life.
And, I believe, not should it, since if we turn every anniversery of such events into a day of mourning we have given those hwo would use terror another small victory.
More should be made of the fact that they can try but we're still here.
We're the democratic countries of the free western world, we'll set aboot yeh!

ok, i understand that people think we should "remember" those who died, but it does not change the fact that i think this is a cheap attempt at getting a highly rated, highly visited post. Plus what willyjam said is right, people die all the time of other causes.
Where is there post??

Oh no some people died. That doesn't happen everyday does it? But we only care when it happens in America
====================
Thats the sickness of our nation. We belive that we have built something so secure and powerful that it is beyond reproach or destruction. Unfortunately when something like the attacks on sept 11 happen we are so flabbergasted that it could occur in our "secure" and "advanced" society that we dont know how to handle it. Amazingly, three thousand people is a drop in the puddle compared to the thousands of innocent people that die on a regular basis all over the world as a result of oppression, racism, and yes our so called "war on terror." Do I feel for those families that suffered a loss, of course! But dont ask me to make a mountain out of a mole hill.

Here's a stat for your empathic little self:
100,000 people die every fucking day. EVERY DAY. Natural causes, murders, suicides, coke bottle rape.
Ought we grieve humanity's losses on this scale?

Beano, don't you know that sympathy and respect are like SO unfashionably 6 years ago? Apathy and posturing are totally in. *rolls eyes*.
You said it best- whatever you believe...RIP.

Thanks... that's kind of why I don't mention 9/11 as an event but talk about the people that died on that day (of all religions and nationalities) and THOSE THAT HAVE DIED SINCE of all religions and nationalities
This is a straight-forward RIP to ALL those who have died due to this considerably fucked up world that we live in.

I watched the USA be attacked live on television. I felt a horrible saddness for that country. But right now, I feel even worse for the (maybe) innocent civilians that have been killed since '03 in Iraq.
