Sept 11 families
« on: September 06, 2007, 05:21:52 PM »
I am so sick of hearing about them.  Today on the radio (I listen a lot to NYC news stations) I heard that they were complaining about people not giving them support anymore. WTF it was six years ago yeah it was bad but get the fuck over it.  They piss and moan about everything the memorial, the building going up it goes on and on.  Lot of people have losses that are just as bad to them but they get over it.  Six fucking years!! People in my family have died in the last six years nobody is here to give me support still.  What do these people expect :grrr:

I would like to say the same about Diana. That was 10 years ago, and they still want shut up about the woman.

yeah people lose people all the time, why are 9/11 people more deserving? i'm glad they were helped but it was ages ago. and every year people go on about this same stuff. hello, it's not the only tragedy in the world. in fact, the world's full of them.

Because they are Americans, and Americans are often spoilt babies about that sort of thing.

Can you imagine the reaction if someone starts complaining about the Anfal?  (Saddam's campaign of mass-murder against the Kurds.)  Folks would say, 'Oh, but that was in the 1980s, right? You just have to move on, get on with your life, don't dwell on it.'  Blah blah blah.  Up to 200,000 killed, and almost no-one has even heard of it, and doubtless most of those who have heard of it only noticed because of the Iraq War.  Who was paying attention at the time?

On 11 Sept. most of the world stood in solidarity with Americans.  And then, they got on with living.  Nothing changed on 11 September; the only thing new about the attack was the victim.  It is America's lack of experience with being on the receiving end of shit-storms that makes people so freaky about this.  It's like all these fuckin' Bush speeches lately talking about Vietnam, and our collective national 'trauma'!  What about the two million Indochinese we killed?  Who grieves for them?

it reminds people what a terrible and dangerous world that we live in, that we need strong leaders and opposing them would be anti-patriotic.

People never get over a family loss so I don't blame them. If I died, I don't think my mom and dad nor my brothers get over my loss. But they would still move on and live their normal lives. Unless I was murdered, then they would be fighting to find the killer and have him go to prison and not give up until it's done.

Maybe because I live in the NYC metro area they are in the news still everyday about something.  Yes we are babies about this sort of thing but maybe it's time we grew up

It's the historical significance, I believe. It was the first time in our history the mainland of the USA was attacked, so successfully.

Every other country in the world has been tromped over for hundreds or even thousands of years. We ARE the babies of the world and we are still teething, by the UK historical timeline.

I'm mostly worried that we, as a nationality, have learned an improper response during this lesson.

Pearl Harbor was as bad as 9/11, War of 1812 was worse, the USA was invaded by Britain and managed to burn down the White House.

 :agreed:   I do feel for the families, just as I feel for any family who's lost a loved one.  It sucks.  It gets easier to deal with, but you'll always feel some sadness.  At the same time, I don't see how it's really "news" any more.  So at the same time:
