9/11 Anniversary

Honestly, I'm sick of hearing about this. The media has over done it so much that I just don't care anymore. Yes, lots of people died. It was horrible. WE GET IT! Stop shoving it down our throats already! We got it the first FIVE MONTHS that it was all we ever heard about.

Yes, this time is hard for the families of those who passed. Let them grieve in peace. If someone I loved died that day, I wouldn't want to have to hear about it for a week around the anniversary of that day.

More innocent people have been killed by the retalliation (I don't know the stats, so I don't know if more were killed there than here, but I know that lots of innocents were killed there [I mean more as in on top of the innocents killed here {just trying to avoid pointless debates about misinterpretation}]). Why aren't we mourning for them? Oh right, they're not American. I forgot that people in other countries don't matter.


Don't mind me. I'm bitter.

Last year this girl in leadership decided to run some sorta half assed fund raiser or something for the victims, and when she asked me if i was going to support the cause, i basically gave her a rundown on how this wasnt the worst thing that has ever happened in the world, not even close to it, and that enough time has been focused on this one event to make me sick. i also might half mentioned something about there already being way too much money for the victims families, and why not actually raise money for someone who could actually use it...i basically told her off and she kinda stared at me shocked that i wasnt so proud of her for helping such a wonderful cause before she went off to someone else to try and get money.

Well said Nikki,

Bringing up a topic like "Remember Hiroshima" is absurd. You know, some people do remember Hiroshima...more than what many (of you) have read in books. It was an atrocity to say the least, but how many can tell me a story about the Japanese occupation of Taiwan? Or tell me about the way the Japanese were trying to wipe out the Taiwanese culture? My dad can...so yes, there are AMERICANS who remember.

The US government sucks to say the least. But don't bag on us as a country for remembering those that were lost. When we remember 9/11, we remember not only those who died that day, we also remember those who have died since then...on both sides...

Everyone is fascinated by a train wreck so its no surprise that there is so much media coverage.

But I think the point a lot of people are trying to make is that if Americans are going to wage war, don't expect people not to wage war against Americans. Don't think that since you live in a 1st world nation insted of a 3rd that nothing will happen.

The only thing that really erks me is those people that actually have something to mourn today and did loose a friend or family member - yet they are supporting the war that is doing the identical thing to another country.
