Remembering the fallen(9/11)
At the expense of being bombarded with conspiracies, memes making light of death, and people complaining how it happened so long ago, let's take a moment not to remember a date and an attack, but a moment to remember those who lost their lives.
Let's take a moment to remember one of the largest attacks on U.S. soil.
Let's take a moment to remember the tremendous loss of life.
Let's take a moment to remember the heroism of first responders.
We're not here to remember "whodunit" or how long ago it happened. We're not here to just remember the date, we're here to remember the dead, and all those who died fighting thereafter.
EDIT 1:
It's so sad to see yet another double standard that shows just how illogical people's minds are. Many here are quick to condemn the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombing attacks, which happened almost 70 years ago. But when it comes to an attack that happened not even 15 years ago, the same people would complain and tell people to get over it and that its, "been years".

1 ReplyYes. The Vandals and Dregs were great when alive... I know I know. It's Destiny related. There are so many of these threads I can't resist making some sorta joke in them.

I was just thinking wouldn't it be weird if 9/11 happened on 7/11 so the convince store would get a lot of hate and has to change there name then they changed it to 9/11 or shut down entirely. What if the owners of 7/11 did 9/11?

4 RepliesI remember seeing it on the screen, about 2nd grade I think, and the videos of people falling out. I also remember hearing about 3000 people having died in mere moments, and the first responders getting cancer within the few years after. I remember having Muslim friends removing their hijabs the next day, and it wasn't until 3 years later that they told me why. I remember the hyper Americanism. I remember hearing that there were WMDs in the middle east, but the weapons inspector said otherwise, but got child porn charges shortly after. I remember hearing that were going to war. I remember being ignorant. I was just a child, or course I was. I had no clue what was happening, but I had faith in our government, despite what my parents said, because it's what school was taught. Years later, I learned over 4000 of our men died, but over 1.6 million casualties in the middle east. Well, they're all terrorists, the media said. I wish I hadn't been so young, so ignorant, because the blood of millions is on the hands of not our government, but on the hands of our citizens, for blaming Muslims (1.2 billion people) for the utter destruction and death of 3000 people, yet we attacked the wrong countries in the first place, because saudi Arabia is an "ally". We haven't spread democracy over in the east, but our actions since the '70s have lead to multiple terrorist groups. We are responsible. I mourn the loss of 3000 some americans, AND I mourn the loss of literally 500× more people in the middle east.

Also the bombings of Nagasaki, and Hiroshima, are different slightly. Those were carried out by a first world country, not a group of fanatics. Either way get the hell over it, stop being so in love with being a victim. You're not special or important, so you don't get a magical shield that protects you from all the things that go wrong in the world.
