tomorrow is 9/11

[SandEagle]

can't believe how fast 11 years have passed since that tragic event. are you planning on doing any tributes, attending any memorial services, or just spending time in reflection on the event and its impact from then til now?

I still remember the entire days events from my perspective. First hearing about it in study hall. Teachers turning on the news and abandoning lesson plans for the day.

The constant thought on my mind when thinking about 9/11 - What will happen next time?

 

[nageov3t]

I'll be spending tomorrow about a thousand-ish feet from the site, trying not to think about it

 

[JulesMaximus]

And today is 9/10.

Thanks for the update.

 

[Number1]

I remember exactly what I was doing that day.

 

[amdhunter]

Man I hope Romney wins the election. America can use another 9/11.

 

[JulesMaximus]

The war on terror must go on... for our freedom! :hmm:

Is that a joke?

 

[shocksyde]

I'm going to treat it as any other day. If I use the day to remember 9/11, the terrorists win.

How very un-American of you. You are the exact reason people hate Liberals. You couldn't give a shit if all Americans are killed as long as you have your way. I hope one day you find God and Jesus and realize how utterly stupid it is not to remember and honor all the heroes that died on that sacred day.

This is a fallacy, they can't win because their victory involves a god who doesn't exist.

Personally, I'm just going to go to work. It will be no different than any other Tuesday.

we should mark this date as a national holiday. no work, no school. a day of remembrance so no one forgets. ever.

Meh...don't really care anymore. It's turned into an excuse to ramp up police and government powers over the citizens...and a way to make money.

"OMG! 9-11!...9-11!"

I probably won't ever forget that day...but I'm not gonna spend the rest of my life in fear because of it.

Nope - like last year I'm heading up into the mountains with a friend who also hates how idiots use these memorial services to annoy.

I agree, then I could go ride my literbike all day while everyone else is home remembering.

Why don't we call it Al Qaeda Day while we're at it?


I'm all for respecting and honoring those lost in national tragedies like 9/11, but let's not give our enemies complimentary PR. Do we let out schools and call off business on Dec 7th?

At least not before we have a Osama's Brains On the Wall Day.


edit: Hrmmm, I need to revise my holiday knowledge...

But yet, not too much special is done on December 7.

How about the native american villages that were raided by the US army, every man, woman and child were slaughtered. Why don't we have a memorial day for those massacres?

What about the Oklahoma city bombing, its just about been forgotten.

How about no.

How about a memorial day for the people who died in the Kent state shootings? We should never forget how the US military opened fire on unarmed citizens.

... and the next day will be 9/12. I will never forget but I have moved on.

When are we going to get a memorial for March 27?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goliad_massacre

The Goliad Massacre, set in the town of Goliad on March 27, 1836, was an execution of Republic of Texas soldier-prisoners and their commander, James Fannin, by the Mexican Army. The massacre was reluctantly carried out by General Jose de Urrea under orders of the President of Mexico, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.

342 people lost their lives. They were lined up and executed.

Shitty photo from my gf's place, but better than anything else in this thread so far.

 

[nageov3t]

as I was leaving work, I noticed today that "the lights" are like half a mile from the actual WTC site.

that's kind of bothersome.

 

[ImpulsE69]

....and yet, here we are 11 years later, still divided and acting like selfish self centered children....

Exactly this. Well said Boomer.
