So, just how did you find the situation humorous?

"People" who hate all humans usually enjoy seeing mass murder and somehow find it humorous..

Yea, "people"... lol...

6000+ people who didn't deserve to die is worth five minutes of laughter??

What the hell kind of morality is that?

strike two...

Thugg morality.

I thought the media circus during the aftermath was hilarious, but I always find that amusing...



I'm dreading the anniversary tomorrow, as everyone is going to be in a funk for no real reason. Some people have a legitimate reason to feel upset, being that family died. Everyone else needs to seriously get over themselves and stop being so self-righteous.

I know the above comments will be taken the wrong way, so I'm not even going to fight back if any of you disagree. I'm only stating something, and not flaming.

At best this is going to degenerate into another excuse for Americans to have a hot dog cookout, a la the Fourth of July. Not this year, mind you, but eventually.

Unfortunately, the events of 9/11 will do more to feed our burgeoning reactionary isolationism than to spur deep thoughts on the nature of good and evil. I think the rest of the world got a hell of a lot more meaning out of those terrorists acts than we did.

I bet there will be a lot of cars with American flags draped across the hood and flying out the windows tomorrow.

Hooray for jingoism!

Nah. Nobody celebrates April 12th (Fort Sumter) or December 7th (Pearl Harbor). July 4th is a happy occasion, not a somber one. Although I will say that July 4th has become one of the things I dislike most about this country. How people turned the anniversary of our founding fathers defiantly casting off their old world rulers into a beer/BBQ/illegal fireworks celebration is beyond me. But I just dont see people turning 9/11 into some sort of celebratory deal.

I remember looking at the aftermath with my friends, watching the smoke rise into the air all day and all night (not on TV, I must emphasize). We were all just standing around and we couldn't believe it happened. It was like a dream, something in a movie. It was impossible to fathom.

Yea, I realize that terrorism happens a lot in all parts of the globe, and I feel for those who have to suffer from it. Even moreso now. I cant stand to hear about another suicide bomber in Israel because I know what it must feel like for those who witness it (so maybe it made me more sensitive to that stuff?). But looking at the WTC towers first-hand was just too unreal. It didnt sink in until that night.

There's not much I can do to change anything, you know. Waving around a flag and putting it in the back window of my car isn't gonna do much good for anybody, so Im not gonna do that.

I do think this is a great country and worth fighting for, though, so maybe one day I will. I want to do something more than just "getting back to my regular life". And I will... so I guess thats how 9/11 affected me.
