Sorry Galvan
 .Today in first period my principal got on the intercom and said that he was going to play the national anthem and the pledge for the rememberance of 9/11. So our class stood up and he played like the last 10 seconds of the song which was pretty funny. We all said the pledge and he said sit down with a weird voice, probably because he was embarassed about the national anthem.R.I.P. Deja Vu 10/07/01-10/28/07
No offense to anyone and I hope I'm not touching a bad nerve, but I think it is horrible that it takes a tradgedy of anykind to make people look and realize how valuble life is. An example is the fighterfighters. Before 9/11 they were just doing their jobs. Now we have so many funds going to so many firefighter organizations around the country. Why don't we do that before an incident. I know that human kind adapts to situations for survival, but shouldnt we cherish lifes before 2500 people die?
Yea No offense, we needed something to tell the world to wake up, but not that intense.
its because of guilt. people donating to charities and other remembrances has NOTHING to do with respect for firefighters, and has everything to do with thier own feelings of guilt.american culture=lip service this space for rent
I know that our culture is corrupt.Example..Sammy Sosa. I love the guy (I'm a cubs fan) but when the whole cork bat incident was going on, he donated millions to charity. The donation was not necissarly to get rid of guilt, but to create a false image. Not too many people donate just because it is the right thing to do. You make a good point. 20 years from now, nobody will be donating to the Illinois Special Firefighter fund. They will donate to something else to feel better.And once again, No offence to people who were touched by 9/11. But why doesn't the media go in a frenzy on December 7th. We lost 2403 men there. What about the oklahoma city bombing. Remember that? Well, its almost forgotten now. You may get a short clip. Point is, the media will cover whatever gives them the best ratings or sell the most papers. They want to make the buck. You wouldn't buy a paper if it was compleatly covering Gettysburg or the Titantic. Just wait 10 years. This will fade into history and the media will have another story to cover.Just wait till December 6th. Will your school play the national anthem, will they sing god bless america at baseball games, will you even remember what happened that day?
wow i completly forgot about Ocklahoma City.
Thats my point. At the 1 year anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing, the nation observed a 168 second moment of silence. All the major TV stations covered it. Two years later the media covered the memorial. Well three years later they call it quits. The public isn't interisted. Although hundreds of people visit the site everyday (I visited this summer) and leave tidbits and posters, the media has all but forgotten the event. Instead they cover Kobie Bryant or R Kelly (sorry if I misspelled). In turn people forget. I bet 90% of you can't remember what day the bombing took place. I know I can't. The only thing that reminds me is my vistor guide to the memorial.Only 60 years ago an attack the same magnitide as 9/11 took place. Most people can't tell you what day it took place. I hope that the media wont turn their backs on this day in 10 years. It truely should be remembered. It shouldn't be used to make a profit or draw ratings. How would you feel if a TV station runs a story on your mother's death or your cousin's death or your best firend's death just to compeate witht the other stations. How about we cherish the memories of our loved ones and don't forget this day like we have so many others.
My high school had a remembrance of 9/11 today.
Welcome to Millenium Force.
I can guarentee the memorials for September 11 will not stop in 3 years. I saw ground zero for the first time a few years and it was very intense. We were quiet for a few minutes at my school, we said the pledge, then they played the national anthem two times through, someone read something in respect to 9/11 and then we went on with a pretty quiet rest of the day, and this is 2 years later.
Here in Chicago it seems like a lot of people dont care about it. People always complained and still do about all of the 9/11 reports on the news. I annoys me too. When it first happened all I heard was 9/11 blah blah blah terrorists blah blah blah. I do care about 9/11 but only hearing about that got really annoying. About a year later it wasnt as bad but it was still annoying. I guess the only people who were truly affected by it were the New Yorkers. Dont get me wrong here I do care about what happned that day. Sorry if you took it the wrong way.

The thing that bothers me most about it is how we only heard occasional news clips about something remotely pertaining to it in the last year, yet, only the aniversary, it's everything and the only thing. Time doesn't heal emotional wounds, be it on a scale of a single person, an entire nation, or the entire world... So why focus on the day? The day doesn't matter, the event does. We focus on when as a society way way too much. We need to focus on who. in my opinion, just because it was the 2 year aniversary, it doesn't matter. It's just another day. It's only a when. Only who really matters.That who isn't just the people who died in New York, either. That is another thing that really bothers me. So many people seem to have forgotten there were people in Washington DC, and the heroic people in Pennsylvania.
Did anyone else hear that John Ritter died last night? He was only 54 years old. I know I'm gonna miss him.
this is a signature
It's gonna be difficult for John Ritter's family. His youngest daughter's birthday was yesterday (9/11), and now she will also relate the day to her father's death. The world also lost another John, in the form of Johnny Cash.
yeah, johnny cash wasnt a shock, although its sad to lose such a great artist. john ritter, that was shocking.

It seemed to me that everybody around my house cared about September 11th. That night by my school thier was a huge riot of people trying to get to a mosque(sp?) or something. I think it made national news, lots of craziness that day with alot of pissed off people.I personally don't mind the television coverage 9/11 recieves, it deserves to be remembered. If we just go and forget about it, it could happen all over again.I also heard that John Ritter and Johnny Cash died...bad day to be named John I guess.
 Go Bulls!

How about thoes Cubs (and white sox, but who cares about them)!?! Although Houston is making it tough for us. Cubs have been playing some of the best baseball all season. Too bad we lost today's game in the 9th. I blame it all on the umpire (getting hurt and Zambrano lost hims rythem).
John Ritter will be greatly missed.in my opinion, he was and still is the best physical comedian to date. Even Jim Carey doesn't hold a candle to what John could do in his earlier days.Three's Company was one of the best television sitcoms around. I never get tired of that show rerun after rerun.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
[quote="aero737"]How about thoes Cubs (and white sox, but who cares about them)!?!I care about the Sox
How about the Bears. They lost again. I hope they do better.

<--Packer fan who also likes the Bears a little, just not as much.... My dad said "They should fire the whole blankin' coaching staff this bye week if they wanna blankin' win." Those blankins were added for a reason
