9/11

[Blinger1]

today is 9/11.

THOUGHTS KIDDOZ?

[Metric1]

downtown is gunna be NUTZ.

[Blinger1]

Possibly.. cant wait for it on the news :rolleyes:

[Samantha.]

i'll do my minute silence in memory of it :)

[xxMATTGxx]

i'll do my minute silence in memory of it :)

Same to be honest :)

[Caution]

Same to be honest :)Oh I saw that in your MSN name and I thought you meant a relative but I didn't want to ask. :P

Yeah, RIP to them.

[Cypher-]

To be honest its getting a bit tiring hearing of 9/11. It has been 8 years now and people are still commemorating it, how about instead of a minutes silence we each give 1 quid to the armed forces and buy them some decent gear :s

Which armed forces are you talking about here? Considering this was in the USA.

Im talking about anyone who feels patriotic or important to remember 9/11 yet doesnt give a toss about the young men and women dying for the consequences of that date whether its British or American.

[Colin-Roberts]

Giving a dollar each would not make a difference in the war, when tanks cost millions, and the war cost billions of dollars a year. War has nothing to do with this attack, they attacked a civilin building.. Not a military installment.

[Shockwave.2CC]

i'll do my minute silence in memory of it :)


Same tbh
People stoped after about 2 years after but i've done very year so far

[Misawa]

Lest we forget the day America attacked itself.

[Black_Apalachi]

Lol you believe that then? :P

What time would a minute's silence be at anyway?

Yes *awaits the abuse*

I feel it's everybody's right to investigate 9/11 for themselves and draw their own conclusions, but more factual evidence proves different to the official report. I'm not here to shove my opinions down anyone's throats, but that's just what I believe in.

[Jahova]

I also agree. The evidence all points to the government. I have watched many videos of the collapse, the crashes and they all show my thoughts.

[ItsDave]

I don't like this subject, because I will always try to persuade my mates its a conspiracy, and then spend ages showing them videos and clips I've found. If you don't believe it, thats fine, but thats what I think, that it was an inside job, so dont hate me for thinking that and posting this.

[xxMATTGxx]

I don't hate people who think it was all done by the US Government. I've seen some of the videos about it and it does make you wonder. Although we should still respect the amount of people who died :(

@Cypher-, I care about both :)

Agreed, peoples thoughts aside, alot of innocent people died that day.

But every dollar helps surely. If everyone took that attitude then there wouldnt be much point in alot of stuff.

I dont really feel anything for what happened about it, just how awful the people much be feeling and have felt. It wsa 8 years ago and I was in year 5 at the time so I dont really remember much. My friend has gone out and got slaughtered today, but then again, its her 18th :P

I remember the day quite well, same with the 7/7. :(

Doesn't bother me anymore, 8 years have passed. Can't keep going on about it, it won't change anything.

A little boy was touching a picture of his daddy :(

Singing Hero now :o!


I don't care if it was an inside job. The fact is thousands died that day and the world watched. I've never seen anything so awful in my life and the I'm not American so I don't even know why I still care.
It was just so horrific, I don't think the world will ever forget.

Ridiculous.

The countries can buy decent gear if they wanted to. Jusdt the goverment's (US and UK) always turn out to be ****.

Look at Brown. And if you think cameron will be better.,.

There are millions of people in the USA so that could buy a few tanks

Did America not take invade Afghanistan because of 9/11? Although it wasn't a military base, it started a war.

I agree. I honestly think the best guy to run a country is the guy who lives down the road, walks his kids to school each day, drops a few pennies in the cup of a homeless person that he passes, works a under appreciated job for little money and he lives his life as an upright, moral citizen. Politics is about corruption, politicians don't want whats best for the country, they want whats best for them. They won't support something unless they are getting something in return for supporting it.

[Nicola]

I'm shocked, my college didn't do a minute of silence :S
So I did my own minute of silence :rolleyes:

I know, tbh I'm not certain about what's factual and what's not so I don't think I ever formed a definitive opinion. I probably don't want to believe that the nation that the USA is, would do such a thing. If I believed that, I would be pretty scared - especially when I went to New York! :P

[jackass]

That post makes no sense? We are merely paying our respects, something it seems, that you need to grasp.

[BoomItsClowgon]

But i don't get it... If it was an inside Job, why did the US Gov did it? For an excuse to invade Iraq/Afghanistan?

[Misawa]

Pretext for financial gain and upping the USA into a police station, which, low and behold, it now is. The same happened with Iraq, the WMD ruse was a pretext for an invasion just for oil.

[Kardan]

@Cypher-, I care about both :)

I can't watch programs or videos of 9/11 because the scenes of the planes impacting and the towers collapsing just freak me out totally.

The image on the left in your signature just made me feel horrible :(

[Jordy]

I'm shocked, my college didn't do a minute of silence :S
So I did my own minute of silence :rolleyes:Where have you been for the last few years? I don't remember ever having a minute silence for it, although I imagine I had one the day after and the year after.

I sincerely doubt anywhere in the UK has done anymore Minute Silences beyond that.

[jackass]

We had one? :S

R.I.P to all the innocent lives lost.

Erm no lets commemorate the people who died by fault of the American Government.

[Aces]

Erm no lets commemorate the people who died by fault of the American Government.

why do we dwell on something that happened 8 years ago? Is it cause they were americans?

What about if we spent more time denying Israel the right to bomb international aid to Gaza and the killing of innocent civilians? Are they not worth it?

[ItsDave]

But i don't get it... If it was an inside Job, why did the US Gov did it? For an excuse to invade Iraq/Afghanistan?

Oh dude, you have mass amounts of homework to do. In a nutshell.
"Hey guys, we're running out of oil" "Hmm, omg Bush I've got it! Iraq" "Of course, thats a brilliant idea. We'll keep funding al-Quaeda to train the militants and blame it all on Osama Bin Laden, one of the appointed cheifs as directed by the CIA. Then, we'll say it was Muslim terrorists so we can invade!". Few days before the attacks FBI officials were seen entering and leaving the building, because the US Government knew the structure wouldn't fall on its on, so planted thermite in the bases. Bam a plane hits 2 days later. Then a few hours later, another into the other tower. "We gotta bring this sucka down, pull it (Words of the lease owner of the twin towers). So it falls down, thus hurting the confidence of all Americans. Plus, did you know... that the odds of the US Air Force doing that exact same pretend drill on that day were 30 something Octogillian to 1. Octogillian has 41 zeroes on the end. Fire fighters and key witnesses said they heard explosions at the base of the towers. Research "WTC Building 7" which looks like controlled demolition but the US Gov says fire melted the structure, which is scientifically impossible.

So yes to invade Iraq, also to be able to pass ridiculous laws, enable police to search you whenever they feel like it, to manipulate the US people into believing this, and when Obama gives new laws they'll be accepted, but more and more people are seeing through, but if he continues, there will be martial law, and the United States of America will slowly turn into Nazi Germany and/or Communist Russia. All to create a one world Government and control as slaves.

Thats a pretty big nutshell, but thats my knowledge as I understand it, so, agree with me or not, thats what I believe.

[Kyle!]

Lest we forget the day America attacked itself.

Totally agree.

[OrenX]

This to me has Made the usa's security more important.

[xxMATTGxx]

Even if the US Government did do it. We should still respect the 1,000's of innocent lives that are now gone due to the events on that day 8 years ago. Its good to remember, other days you might just totally forget. But its good to remember that day when it shocked the world and proper security procedures got added to most airports around the world.


why do we dwell on something that happened 8 years ago? Is it cause they were americans?


Its to remember the innocent lives that were lost. Like over 3,000 and something lives were lost because of 9/11. I don't remember it because they were Americans, I remember it because I have respect for all of the families who have lost people on that day. I also remember it because when I seen footage of the two airliners hitting the twin towers, it was shocking that anyone could do that. I have watched many doucnmentaires and even United 93 and still feel a bit sad because of what happened and how it happened.

I do the same for the 7/7 attacks in London.

Edit: If we stop remembering 9/11, does that mean we have to stop remembering D-Day and any other important events like that? I don't think so.

Amen.

Weird, I rarely ever see planes now but I noticed about 6 yesterday. I would be terrified to fly on 9/11.

I don't think a lot of British places have a minutes silence because of the fact it happened in America. But it would be nice if they did, 90 countries lost citizens that day, not just the US.

[Cypher-]

Dont be so silly, how did war have nothing to do with it? If you think that they just randomly attacked a US building for no reason then you good sir are a complete and utter idiot. Of course war and its overflowing riches was behind it.

[You]

Hardly. It happened 8 years ago, you get over it. :S

I dont see anybody rememebring any other terrorist attacks, people die everyday, many are innocent. Theres people killed by terrorists week in week out, yet nobody remember them. WHy? Nobody really gives a **** as long as its not them.

[Jordy]

This to me has Made the usa's security more important.You sir are a genius. How long did it take you to come to that conclusion? A lifetimes work? Years? Months? Or maybe just a split second to make yet another ridiculous forum post for your post count.

Edit: If we stop remembering 9/11, does that mean we have to stop remembering D-Day and any other important events like that? I don't think so.But when will this all stop? The date is still significant in my mind, like most people I link September 11th to the terrorist attacks but how long will these commemorations go on? Forever?

The difference with D-Day is that it affected everyone in the UK and pretty much everyone around the world. I can loosely relate to it as my life would be different if it never happened, like the majority of people I know of family members participating in WWII. September 11th though, hasn't made any real difference to my life other than the evasive procedures at airports these days.

[Misawa]

Until something tops it, which it probably will, 9/11 will remain, for those who saw it all unfold before their eyes on TV around the world, the most shocking day in history, nevermind the tsunami where 100,000+ people died, 9/11 takes that grim title.

[xxMATTGxx]

9/11, 7/7, Lockerbie. There the only ones I know.

Until something more bigger happens? Doesn't mean we have to stop now though.

[Alba]

They don't care, and don't do silences about the attacks in London. So why should i care about them, when they don't care about what happens in my own country?

9/11 wasn't a life changing moment to me. The people that fought the second world war changed my life immensely, and i honestly don't think they get the recognition. Their real heroes.

[Jorc]

It has become like not a big deal anymore, even here in america. There really wasn't much about it yesterday tbh.

[AlexOC]

Who watched United 93 last night?

I hate the ending, its so *lump in your throat*

[jackass]

Hardly. It happened 8 years ago, you get over it. :S

World War 1 was 91 years ago, yet we still pay our respects to that.

[AlexOC]

Yeh no matter how long ago it was, innocent people died going about there everyday life, for no reason but these terrorists, it still happened.

[AgnesIO]

They don't care, and don't do silences about the attacks in London. So why should i care about them, when they don't care about what happens in my own country?

Because the attacks in London did not involve the Americans hugely.

Many English along with another 90 countries people died in the 9/11 and imo that deserves respect.

Although I do think paying respects every year sort of gives Al Qaeda a reason to gloat.

--

But what a ruddy rediculous comment. Yes WW2 heroes did change our lives hugely, but not get recognition? They get recognition much more than soldiers of today? What are you comparing 'no recognition' to? -rep ridiculous.

[Aces]

Edit: If we stop remembering 9/11, does that mean we have to stop remembering D-Day and any other important events like that? I don't think so.
Okay, but what about the Palestinians? they are being gunned down during conflicts between Hamas and Israel - are they not worth the hazzle? let's just let them die cause they are of no political interest


WWI = Important (i'm here today thanks to the brave men and women that fought for freedom)
WWII = Important (i'm here today thanks to the brave men and women that fought for freedom)
9/11 = Couldn't care less

[jackass]

Yeah, I never cry during films... and this was no exception.

Still incredibly sad though all the same. :(

[ItsDave]

I had to do an essay on that film, create a character in that situation? Got an A* in it.

Please everyone, stop posting negtively. This is purely only to remember the innocent lives that were taken, just like in the World Wars and other "terrorist attacks". Just leave it at that.

[Cypher-]

Erm no lets commemorate the people who died by fault of the American Government.

Many of the people who died that day were not american so should I just skip those lot out and focus my powerful thoughts of sadness on the yanks? Idiocy :)

[ItsDave]

It doesn't matter what Nationality they were. It's still a horrible way to lose a life, and I'm pretty sure most people aren't focusing their sadness all on American's, but what Lucy is saying is that everyone there that day were betrayed by the U.S. government, American or not.

[Jordy]

Erm no lets commemorate the people who died by fault of the American Government.If it was indeed carried out by terrorists and not the US Government or a similar authority then how have the people been betrayed by their government? If there was better surveillance and airport security they might of caught them however you can't just implement very strong airport security for no reason, it would annoy an awful lot of people as there'd be no real justification for it.

The devastation of 9/11 made people understand why all this security and surveillance is needed. I'm not saying that 9/11 has made the world a better place, it's just that they can't predict the future.

[VirtualG]

I seriously think the US brought it on themselves by invading, should of thought about that first.

To be honest its getting a bit tiring hearing of 9/11. It has been 8 years now and people are still commemorating it, how about instead of a minutes silence we each give 1 quid to the armed forces and buy them some decent gear :s
Yeh, I understand what you mean.

Which armed forces are you talking about here? Considering this was in the USA.
Ok, I can understand what your talking about but what I must point out is
a) Uk, New Zealand, America, France and Australia are all apart of the wall on terrorism.
b) It was the world trade centre that got attacked, not the us trade centre, there were quite a few people there on business trips and work etc... Not to mention not all the people on the Hijacked aeroplanes were american either.

[9y]

Strangly enough it wasnt mentioned once while i was at college. no silence. nothing. I expected it to be a big topic. Good job the 2006 bombers (plotters) got over 100 years between them yesterday :)

I didn't mean anything by point B. I was making a point that why should British people pay for the US Armed Force equipment. :P But yeah I get you :].
