I remember what happened, but I'm not going to get all tore up about it.  I usually try to deal with grief by overcoming it, or whatever caused it. 

EDIT:  Damn, I just sounded like one of those overly optimistic pill-heads.  Oh well.....

*hangs head, raises glass*

September 11 WILL be remembered throughout the world. It is the day the "Big Dog will rattle his cage" (Toby Keith, American Soldier). Americans won't forget, and we CERTAINLY will NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES let the rest of the world forget!

I think that every year, starting from the time the first plane hit and ending at midnight, we light the lights that were light to heaven:



May we never, ever. . . forget.

Will everyone just STFU already?  I'm tired of hearing about it.  Between 3 movies, several documentaries, and everybody and his brother throwing their unneeded 2 cents in, I wish the whole discussion would just go away.  Those who dont wish to STFU should just piss off and give the situation the peace it deserves.

9/11. the beesting that prompted the biggest, most reckless swelling the world has ever seen.

Yeah, I agree!

Wait, you were talking about Freespace 3, right?

Umm, we havn't killed Osama-bin-laden yet and we havn't found the "nukes" in Iraq yet and we havn't stableize our economy yet, we havn't stableized gas prices yet...

I'm sorry, but that is the most ridiculously hilarious relpy in this whole thread.
And really, bragging rights? Bragging about the fact that your country let TWO JETS fly directly into the tallest buildings in the world. Huh?

9/11 was a huge **** up. The best the world can do is get over the dead, clean up, rebuild and make sure it never happens again.

Ok, this post made me come on here just to reply to it.

Dear Mr. Spartan_0214:

Shut the **** up.

Sincerely, Unknown Target



Seriously little boy. I'm ****ing American and I'M tired of hearing this bull**** about 9/11. Get your head out of your asses America, and welcome to the rest of the ****ing world. Sure, it was a tragedy, I feel horrible for those who lost their lives in it, but the Cult of 9/11 (yes, I just coined that term) has got me absolutely pissed off. A lot of Americans (not all, mind you, as is obviously apparant) practically worship the tragedy of 9/11 - and when I say worship, I don't mean as in a good way, I mean it in the way where they are absolutely fanatical, and refuse to let everyone else forget about it,even though if they really want to make the world safer, they themselves have to move on from it.

I AM AMERICAN, AND I WANT THIS WORLD TO BE SAFE. I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO KEEP GOING ON ABOUT 9/11 AND EXPLOITING IT!

And another thing - that absolutely IDIOTIC three year old comment about "we're American and we get bragging rights" - I am so pissed off at that I feel like looking up your home adress and kicking your ass, pissing on your face, and then shoving your mangled body in front of the mothers of the thousands of other troops from the thousands of other countries who have lost their lives in their own fights, for good or bad, and make you SAY THAT TO THEM. Goddamnit, shut the **** up you ignorant little twat. It's people like you that are the reason the world hates us right now.

[Ford Prefect]

I'm impressed that it actually took until the second page.

[Mefustae]

Damn it, every bloody year...


It's painfully obvious that you can't hold a 9/11 memorial thread on a forum without generating flames, so let's all just agree that  it's a ****ed up thing, and we should just let the dead rest easy and move on with our lives.

I'm thinking we should all take Scuddie's advice and STFU, so i'm going to be the annoying voice of civility and call for a good, hard locking.

[BS403]

UT: i'm glad someone said it

[Ford Prefect]

No no, I don't want to see this locked. Come on, we can salvage this thread. Here, I'll start:

What does everyone think about the Stacker at Burger King? I mean, I was really excited because I thought it was the size of a Whopper and I was all like, "Wow that's the best thing ever." But then I ordered one and it was just the size of a regular burger, and my hopes and dreams were shattered. Has anyone else had these feelings?

RAAA!!!

*EDITED OUT BUT IT WAS VERY VERY VERY FUNNY I'LL ASSURE YOU THAT



EDIT:

since this thread is locked, I'll just edit my thoughts in... Kali's comments in the last post was good.

I like the new stacker but i think it's a liitle overpriced

*wonders why we don't have such a hopla on Dec 7*

just imagine all the extra fat you were robbed of by not having a Whopper sized Stacker 

[Bobboau]

Ya think?

9/11 threads are hilarious as hell

they have flamewars and carnage and death and amerikkka, all in one compact package

All on the internets too!

[Deepblue]

I would suggest a mod lock any and all 9/11 threads that appear to prevent arrogant posters from making a mockery of a tragedy.
