what the hell. we are STILL in a war caused by this attack (afghanistan>terrorism>sadaam>oil>IRAQ in that order somewhat) and i didn't hear a call for one moment of silence, didn't see a tear shed, didn't see anyone stop and remember what this did to our nation. what happened, did we forget? all i saw was a little red white and blue ribbon in my agenda book. am i the only one who feels like this isn't something that should be forgotten. and dont tell me its time to move on, WE STILL HAVEN'T CAUGHT THE MAN WHO PLANNED AND FOLLOWED THROUGH WITH THESE ATTACKS! god damnit, idk whether i'm upset or angry, but quick, someone tell me they feel the same way.

I had to fly to cali today and that was kinda eerie, I was boarding when the first plane hit, so we had a moment of silence.. I am kinda pissed at google for not doing anything seeing as they do any thing whenever someone picks their ass

That's not right. At my school one of the teachers talked over the intercom and sounded on the brink of crying, she talked about the heros that day, then about the men and women in the armed forces. We then had a moment of silence out of respect for the people who were killed.

im canadian so I wasn't expecting anything today, but in one class (that I came late to so I missed the start of it) a teacher said something about a discussion they had earlier, and how one kid said we shouldn't do anything it didn't involve us and who cares, so she said a bit about how that was wrong and said some connections some teachers had with people that got killed.
then another kid got really mad in my math class about how the school did nothing for it, and how we should give a moment of silence for what happend.

being canadian doesn't have anything to do with it, it was the world trade center, people from all over the world worked there.

to be honest, if we had a moment of silence for every terrorist attack in history we wouldn't have a lot of time left to get work done. it's up to the individuals to pay respect to the fallen, nobody should have to make you do it.
that's how i look at it anyways.

I bet they told all the teachers not to talk about it so little billy and susie dont come home up set to mommy and daddy. I was in highschool when the attacks took place and some schools in the area didnt allow the tvs to be turned on in case some students became emotional.... Thats one thing I hate about the way modern generations are being raise. Bring the paddle to schools... Life is rough, fucking deal with it.
 These attacks are the major defining event of our generation, you cant turn that off. I dont care what country your from, 9/11 was not just an attack on the US it was an attack on western civilization and everything we stand for. People need to remember that.

honestly in my high school there trying to shove it down our throats and it does get annoying. or MLK assembly was so stupid, 1 2 minute speech about MLK the rest is about gay rights or something that happen to gay people. that goes against everything in my book turning something about someone great into ways to show what they want.

no thye kinda turned it in to a gay rights assembly. i know they are both types of civil rights but what the MLK assembly is about is totally different then gay rights, how they fought for it, how bad they were discimanated and not accepted jobs. ect.

Well I walked into work today and said "Happy 9/11!" in a completely joking manner... didn't go over well.
I was just hoping to follow up with how it should be some sort of holiday or remembrance day as there are holidays for extremely stupid events anyways... Isn't this important?

But still, these schools should get their heads out of there asses and at least take a few seconds to talk about the day when the shit hit the fan.

one of my profs sort of talked about how if we dont make globolization better there will be more events like 9/11 or something of that sort. I'm in Canada though, it does suck and i am surprised there werent any sort of things going on. But I think a moment of silence is a bit overboard. I mean there are way more terrible things that had happened in the world, it just shocks you because it's in your country, almost 3000 people died during 911. In the genocide in Africa it was 937000.

i dont mean it to sound like 9/11 isnt a big deal but i mean only 3000 people died and it was mostly fairly quick deaths.
all over africa right now waaaay more people than that are being tortured and murderd and raped by millitant armies that go around destroying villages for kicks, they have never gotten a moment of silence...
