9/11; Never forget.


It's not EMO just some people get affected in different ways, like if i saw someone in africa suffering it wouldn't affect me at all. But if i saw a dog whimpering and badly injured or a sad tune a loved ones passing i'd be a wreck
 
What the hell is wrong with you, phil128? :confused:

I think it's natural to look for humour in situations like these. We do it all the time about other events in the past, but I think not enough time has passed since this happened so people react how you just reacted.

I don't think it means people don't care about what happened
 
Statiscally 9/11 americans won't get this.

Sorry, had to be done :)


As for seriousness, I honestly believe that if we are going to commemorate the Americans who died on that awful day, then we should also commemorate every innocent civilian that has died as a result of america's and our own reaction. Our armed forces have to take the blame for their deaths as well as the Americans do.
Agreed.
Because it is such a high profile event, it would be good to make the most of the opportunity, and to give thought to all those who have suffered and died in the last decade through some atrocity or other, be it natural disaster or directly caused by humanity.

It would be wise to extend this remembrance through to the whole world instead of the usual wallowing in one nation's own problems, especially when that nation has the potential to make an impact.

Nothing at all!

Humor is also a way of overcoming things. People tell jokes about the jews in WW2, even though more people were killed etc. People deal with stuff like this in different ways.

Personally I laugh at any joke, as it's a joke. Simple as.
 
Star out fully please.just been to hell and back watching United 93 .... I wonder if someone bigger than Big Albert ever stood up to Bush and told him the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia and not Iraq ... my nerves are shattered , don't normaly drink vodka raw but I'm making an exception after that .....

@attention seeking/drunk/drugged up phil128 : EMO? :confused: 2 beautiful daughters, 1 beautiful wife , big house , 3 cars , manager at Nissan UK. If that makes me an EMO then fair enough ;)

I realise humour is a method of coping with grief, but how anyone can think it amusing to overlay a photo of one of the planes crashing into the World Trade Center with video game graphics as though it is some kind of joke, I will never quite understand.

Tbh i sniggered, not as much as the nyan 11 image but still.
 
Millions of children die each year, three thousand lives lost a decade a go is but a droplet in the ocean.

I find it abhorrent that people think the lives of a few well lived (id imagine) lives are more precious than the many lives that are simply pre-destined to die and not live at all.

I suggest people remember that.
 
Absolutely horrendous listening to the end of that :(

First time iv heard that...crazy. You could tell he and his friends knew they were screwed and the chances of getting out were slim :(
A first I didn't understand the screams at the end as I presumed the building would have fell on him instantly but then I realised he was pretty much at the top and he was screaming bc the floor collapsed from under his feet....that's pretty ****ed up and never thought about the people inside properly until now really.
 
:p



I'd get yourself checked into anger management if you get angry that quickly!


RIP TO ALL THOSE THAT PASSED IN 9/11 YOU'LL BE MISSED BY MANY

Agreed on the angry, but "you'll be missed" ? They've been gone 10 years and while I'm on the subject of remembrance why is it when I look on Facebook all I see is "9/11 remembered". Did someone forget? Wasn't it over hyped and splashed across the news and countless documentaries and films released over the past 10 years? It's become tiresome and I don't see why Britain has to commute 2 minute silence every year. Do America hold a 2 minute silence over our own bombings?

Yes it was a tragic event and something that will never be forgotten although to be honest how CAN you forget when its talked about everywhere.

It's not the images of the 9/11 attacks that have "burnt" into my eyes, it's our very own bombings, London. Waking up the next day and the first thing I see is a horrific photograph of a bus blowen to pieces with our very own blood splattered across the walls of London. Yet I don't see any "rip London bombings victims" on Facebook every year and neither have I seen other countries giving us 2 minutes of silence or the tragedy spread across the news for a week.

I think it's nothing more that how visible it is. A bus and a the underground isn't as visible a symbol as those towers or provide as dramatic pictures as the ones simulatorman posted.

Had the London bombings involved flying two aircraft into canary wharf and the house of parliment I think it would be as huge as scale as americans remembrance.

Tell that to the victims of the London bombings. It doesn't matter whether it was two planes or a bus, our own soil was bombed at the heart of England and many Britons care more about 9/11 then 7/7. Media...
