Everyone else came through 2 world wars too. Americans don't have some special spirit that nobody else has, they're currently wallowing in their own frivolous problems.

I'm not denying that it's possible for America to destroy itself, I think that's what will happen. But the american spirit still isn't a real thing.

Oasis, this topic is about real things not american propaganda. America barely lost anyone in the 9/11 attacks compared to the civilians they killed as a result and the huge foreign policy opportunities it opened. And the "american spirit" doesn't exist.

Nobody's suggesting you ignore problems mage. The point is that if you can solve a problem then you know exactly what to do and therefore you shouldn't worry and if you don't know then there isn't anything to worry about because you can't do anything anyway.

That doesn't mean you should grieve with them. Talk to a loving relative or friend or counsellor if you still feel bad about this.

Ok.
There should be a certain amount of respect for the dead. As it has been said hundreds of times on this forum, you don't have to click on the topic.
No, but I'd like to click on the topic.
Also, humans tend to share their sorrow with others, which helps the healing process.
Share with someone closer to you then a forum member, it's better.

You know there's globalization now, right?
that's what I was doing?
seems like you're attacking anyone who feels sad here
"Post on a forum" is not how you grieve privately. That isn't how anyone copes.
"Literally the opinion of the rest of the world."
Okay, so then I guess you've visited every part of the rest of the world and asked their view on this matter. You also watch every foreign news outlet simultaneously.
Unlike you, I have a pretty good understanding of foreign opinion.
"The surveillance state you've created in response..."
I wasn't aware I was the supreme emperor of North America. Those who actually believe that their personal lives are regularly invaded in response to 9/11 security measures wear tin foil hats on their head. You've never been phone-tapped, you've never been detained under suspicion of treason, you've never been monitored by some outside government source for posting on a message board.
No, because I don't live in America. The fact is that your government has used 9/11 as an excuse to allow all of those things.
Either way, I'm going to stop posting because this argument is not one which can be won. Both sides are too sure in their convictions. I just wanted you to know how ridiculous you sound to assume that we should as a country stop remembering what happened simply based on the assertion that "it's getting old."
