Not funny. Not happy.

I give post....-3 stars.

[Adios]

Here's a thought. Let's use this day to remember everyone who has lived for others. The nameless and faceless people working on soup lines, the ones working daily to break the poverty cycle with kids. Everyone like these people who do what they do every day and expect nothing in return, except to see some success with the folks they help.

Excellent.

If this comes to be a "holiday" in the way of Remembrance Day, don't just remember those who fell with the Towers, remember EVERYONE, EVERY soldier, EVERY Red Cross Worker, EVERY shelter volunteer, and like Charley said, every nameless person who has done nothing but selflessly given their time and effort to make the world a better place.

It makes me feel a little better when I don't dwell on my uncle missing half the muscle in his ass because burning debris fell on it as he ran for his life. Or the PTSD he's still going through...what he could be remembering right now. Or my family members in the NYPD who lost their lives. Or I was woken up this morning with a phone call from my sister saying that my mom flew into mania and wouldn't come out of her bedroom this morning unless the TV was off all day...Yep. I'm thinking happy thoughts.

You are right, Charley. But to elaborate, why don't we remember those people everyday? Why do those people need a special day? So the rest of the year we can forget about them and enjoy our lives? So we can make the appearance of caring when we actually don't? And before this starts getting into my Veteran's Day rant any further, I'll just leave it at that.

Oh, I agree, this was my pathetic attempt to remove the hate and negativity and the inconsiderate replaying of the videos from 9 years ago. I get ill when I see idiots using the tragedy to further their own selfish goals and I want to take it away from them.

I have the following on my facebook page, feel free to put it on yours.

I do hereby Declare and Announce that from this day forward September 11 shall forever be a day to recognize and remember every person who spends their lives helping others. The ones who live for others. You will never see them on the news, they are nameless and faceless. They seek not glory nor attention. They simply seek to serve.

My tv will also be off all day. It's inconsiderate and sickening.

I haven't watched TV on 9/11 since 2002.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

We already have Veterans day and Memorial day.
C'mon guys. It was a shitty event. There have been lots of shitty events here.

I mean, what about Waco TX day, and Oklahoma City bombing day, I got rear ended day, a teacher was found murdered behind a restaurant day, Pear Harbor day.

I don't mean to sound like a cold hearted dick but frankly, we're never gonna forget about this, and we if wanted to, someone would remind us anyway.

My mom waited on Mohammad Atta at the restaurant we both worked at. He came in a few days before 9/11. Our lives were upside down for a while thanks to the FBI. I'm pretty sure that this was part of what led to the Grand Snap of 2004.

I haven't watched TV on 9/11 since 2002.

I lived in Manhattan on 9/11/2002. 

[Adios]

Fuck the FBI.

[AFK]

Idk, it made me  

Then

Then   again    

Eldora, is that you?

I agree. That's why I don't often read the news regarding it. All the articles read like it is the biggest tragedy in the history of ever, condescend to me like I wasn't aware that it happened, and reinforce negative stereotypes. I have never seen a well written article on 9/11, and television broadcasts are ten times worse. Sure, I was only 12 when it happened. It seemed like it was a big deal, even if I didn't really understand it. But then, I saw what happened in the aftermath.

9/11 is directly responsible for killing my faith in America. And perhaps, more importantly killing my faith in my father. Is it odd that I remember the exact date I lost my innocence? It was December 22, 2001. I went to the movie theater with my family. I don't remember the movie, but I remember what happened there. I didn't notice it until afterwards, in the car when my father told us this. There had been a man in the theater, possibly of Arabic descent, or possibly of Indian descent, dark-haired and dark-skinned either way. My father saw him get up several times and followed him each time. Each time the poor guy was only going to the restroom. My father then explained to us that he was going to prevent a "Terrorist attack", if necessary. Even at 13, I realized that a terrorist attack was very unlikely in a small town of 8,000 in rural Illinois. Poor guy was probably just a student over at SIU and wanted to catch a flick. Of course, that's just a brief summary but it was here that I began to lose faith in my father. I lost faith in America the following year, for largely the same reasons. My faithi n Humanity followed next, and it was about that time I discovered Eris... so, maybe some good came of it.
