ok,guys i know you might think this is funny,but at 6 o' clock i want ag EVERYONE, to take a bow of silence and remember those americans who lost there lives on this day,canadiens, anyone else participate if you want to.
To be honest, I care, but not that much. I know I sound like a jerk for saying it, but it's almost a helpless cause, and it really doesn't apply to my life. When Sean Taylor died, I was devastated, and so were many of the people I know. I lived in northern Virginia which is why it hit me so hard. He played for a team we all liked, he was the cornerstone of the defense, and the story of his life was inspirational. He was getting in trouble before, but he was turning his life around, and had a little kid. I am sure it didn't hit people in California as hard, but that meant something to us, because it applied to our lives.
Seriously guys, sure there are millions dying in africa. But that doesn't change the fact that all of those americans died. Have some respect for america.

So I shall "respect" America's so tragic moment of when these 3000 died, and what shall I do for Africa then?
These kind of things must be put in some order. I can't have the same amount of "sadness" for 911 as the rest of the world's troubles. I could only make a moment of silence for such a thing if 911 was the only tragedy ever. I suppose thats what you think?
And am I honoring the people or for America who went through it?...
The event is nothing in size compared to that of any other. 3000 people. Ouch. Ok, done. Now if you want me to have respect for America for this act of terrorism, well thats a different story. I am not so pleased with countries and this division of humanity, so no thanks.
God loves ALL people as his children, and are you saying that human slaughter is not significant!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?
What I'm saying is that you see Americans as above others. That 3000 AMERICANS dieing is suppose to be a huge deal. I meant that Jesus is the only son of God, these Americans are not as special him. So when there is bunch of people dying all over the world, we cannot feel so sad because 3000 died because of this.
stop twisting my words, there are other people that have been massacred, but I don't know of any other example of 3000 people dying at the same time
Is 7000 soldiers in 20 minutes good enough? (Civil War).
Even so...
The Armenian Genocide. 1.5 million in 1-2 years. Holocaust - 6 million jews. WW1 - Over 8 million WW2 - About 56 million casualties. Stalin Era - 10 million? Kinahka Congo Civil war - Over 3.5 million.
Meh, enough.
Why makes people so attracted to 911? The only answer I have is that they are not aware of things.
I understand having a big memorial the first few years after the attacks, but I think it should be moved to further increments from now on. For instance, on the 10th, 25th, 50th anniversaries and such.
The hijackings played their parts in uniting the country under a cause, but now the country seems to be dividing again. We should let them drift from our mind and focus on other things going on the the world.
Oh, and Drace, you forgot to mention Pol Pot. The man killed off over 1/4 of the population of Cambodia and died at age 72 under house arrest.
