Pikkon is the only one with ANY right to post here about this, to anyone else doing it: STOP. This topic has LITERALLY been mentioned 50 times every five minutes today. And knock off the patriotism act, you're only doing it because it's "in". If you were around during the Vietnam War you would probably be protesting the war instead of following the government like a sheep.

I agree Pikkon is the only one who deserves to really be listened to here. In case you didn't notice I didn't say anything patriotic.

I support the people of the country and those who had loved ones that they lost. I do not support the country just because I belong to it. Also, let us not forget the massive numbers of foreigners who died too. There were nearly 300 British dead alone.

Don't tell me not to support my country! Why don't you go stick American flag stickers on your forehead?

But it seems people only respect me when I'm a jerk.

Everybody has prayed for the victims thousands of times I'm sure. Believe there are plenty of memorials. I had about 3 of them at school so I am sick of them.

Be patroitic is okay... but being too patriotic is going overboard. So far... the media is giving their so called, "respects" for the people who didn't make it for that date. It was horrible, yes. But we needa move on, not live in sorrow forever... All I think the media cares about is ratings.

well today was a pretty normal day for me and my friends. Though we had nothing to really relate to it. The sheer fact of all the stuff that I have been bombarded with fromt he media I kind of shut off about that stuff. Other than that moment of silence and watching that special at school, I did squat for rememberence today. I have no connections to it so I can't feel for it like pikkon and I am truely sorry for what happened to your friend. Other than wearing them colors today, I have no real pride in this day because of how we are treating it. Well, not us but the media in general. I just want this day to end so I don't have to deal with it for 364 more days.
