This is something that should be bookmarked and viewed frequently to remind us what we are fighting againt.

Still makes me angry and sad.

The television stations should sign off with this everynight like they used to do with the national anthem.

Posting something other than agreeing with the post in regards to this seems to be a big no-no. So I'll just hint that I disagree with the constant posting of these types of posts about that day because forgetting is impossible, and for a "reminder" its close to brain washing with rage.

I don't know what's worse... posts like this being viewed as trolls or posts like this being intended as trolls.

Personally, I think it's natural to get angry at these images. I also think it's healthy.

But more importantly, if we just go back to our normal lives and never reflect, and never remind ourselves of the evil that exists, and of what our enemies are capable of, it will happen again.

No one forces you to watch these things.

And the networks have gone out of their way to avoid showing the images.

Don't click the link, that's all.

No troll intended

And I agree......people wont forget what happened but the levity of the situation and the impact it had when it happened can wear off for some. I posted this with the intention that some may wish to bookmark it as I have, nothing more, nothing less.

If it's been posted before, I missed it. Sorry if my posting this has inconvenienced anyone.

This debate has been "raging" since the 9/11 "who is the most patriotic" runoff of 2004.

Personally, I don't need a cheesy flash presentation to remind me of 9/11. Those that do, definately won't apreciate it. So the point get's kinda lost.

I would, but everytime I view it, I ask myself questions like... "Where's Osama?" and "How many Iraqis were involved with 911?"

The post is resurrected every year right around September 10 or so. It's in there.

gimme a break, like clicking on this post really took up that much of your precious time that you will never get back....isn't that right.
I did nothing wrong.

I appreciate your post, Acid.

Don't let the tree-huggers get to you.

Mini D · « **Reply #11 on:** September 20, 2004, 01:12:06 PM »

Sorry acid... but a flash presentation doesn't do anything for levity. It's cheesy.... well... sappy at best. That is not how I choose t remember the event.

Mini D · « **Reply #12 on:** September 20, 2004, 01:13:17 PM »

BTW... muckmaw's reply pretty much sums it up better than any other you'll see: "Don't let the tree-huggers get to you."

No need to be sorry, everyone has their own opinion
