My dad was working on the Sears Tower on 9/11 (he does commercial HVAC) he came home early, walked in the door, dropped everything and hugged my mom. They sobbed for what seemed like forever.

I remember watching everything happen on TV that day, I was too young to understand what was going on, but it was terrifying to see people jumping out of the buildings.

The worst part of the whole thing though, is how much the United States has changed over the past 10 years, using such tragedy as an excuse to wage a massive war (one of the longest in US history), and slowly erode the freedoms that made us a great nation in the first place. Over the past 10 years, America has become a very different place to live in. Not to mention the economic impact that 9/11 had on the US and the world.

Whether or not wee should remember it every year is a meaningless argument. For some people, observing moments of silence and remembrance makes them feel better. For others, they just want to forget the whole thing and get on with their lives.

In my personal opinion, if people are planning to remember it every year, then make it a holiday kind of like labor day or memorial day and only do this stuff on the DAY OF, not the entire month leading up to it. But if wee as a nation keep dwelling on something that happened 10 years ago, wee are letting the impact of the day effect us even now. If wee keep letting anti-terror fear rule our lives, wee will just be having a repeat of the past decade over and over again. Wee killed Osama now, wee had our revenge. And what has it cost us? The respect of the civilized world? Our economy? Our freedom? The people who died in those towers were great economists and businessmen, stock traders and diplomats. Is it any way to pay homage to them by losing our heads every year in september, crying about something that wee can't change? If wee want to do them justice, wee should get our act together and become the country that wee were before that day. Otherwise, the terrorists who wanted to destroy the US won, didn't they?

I love you.

Best wall of text.

I don't recall saying I didn't care about all the people that have died. I don't care about the people remembering something false.

Just because your not from the US or you just don't care about what happened on 9/11, doesn't mean you should make insensitive comments.
I'm not from Japan but I'm not going to make comments about how I don't care about the earthquake, when in fact I do care.
I'm saddened by any kind of tragedy that happens from anywhere in the world.
Also I don't agree with the war that followed 9/11 & honestly I believe in the whole 9/11 conspiracy, but I still feel for everyone who lost there life that day & everyone in war.

If people feel better my remembering a tragedy every year, why is that a problem?  
This world is only going to get worse & if people can't care for there fellow man then wee have no hope.

I don't recall anybody in this thread saying they didn't care about 9/11.

No body cares if you care or if you're not from the US, Im not from the US, but i know the pain
family members of a person that died that day have go true. If you don't give a fudge,
Don't mind posting, because by doing so, you're just showing that you're an
attention bitch.

If you are going to say some words for the life that were lost. They will be appreciated.
