Heres my say in all this:
It was a tragic time, we all know that. But for those of you who say it's a conspiracy, I don't disagree with you, I just:
And as for 9/11 itself, well, I usually don't feel neccisarily too bad. But then again, I was 8 when it happened. But watching a documentary made by CNN in AP US History does bring on some heavy feelings. And then the ironic part was next block I had to play happy mowtown hits in Marching Band. I mean WTF.
So what I'm saying is, whether you think its a conspiracy, were too young to remember, or just plain actually give a damn about something greater than yourselves, then you know as well as I do that it happened. And it will never go away, and though try as we might, we won't get over it. But by letting it tear us down into arguments about whether it was a conspiracy and whether or not it really happened, is letting those people who did it win. Just, sit down for once, and ask yourself: "what would I have done if anyone I knew or loved worked in those buildings or the pentagon, or was on any of those flights. And let not forget those who sacrificed their lives to stop Flight 93 from going most likley into the capital building. And whether or not you believe in a god, remember, those were peoples lives. Something we'll never get back, and all of those people had other people who loved them and had to deal with that.
No it will never be funny. No not enough time will pace that we'll forget about it. No one forgets Pearl Harbor, no one forgets JFK, no one will forget this. Be proud that your government, no matter how much you hate it, actually gives you the rights to say the things your saying. And for those of you who think communism is the answer, just forget off now :D.
As for the Europeans, I can't tell you to like us, nor can I ask you to hold big ceremonies or what not. But I do ask that you remember WWI and WWII, you arrogant bastards.
So all Americans, please just (and I mean this in one of the most serious ways this meme can mean) sit down and STFU.
Now a moment of silence for those who-
