I acknowledge the date. The PISEM convention was held today and it it also happens to be the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

I watched the different memorial services on TV. I guess I care on some level.

I don't. Leave the past behind and look for the future. There is nothing to be gained from the past nor is there anything you can do.

You gotta live for the future so dont lurk in the past.

I agree also, even though It was bad what happened on that day, there is nothing we can do about it besides go on with our lives.

I do not have time to care about 9/11, I am too busy with mourning the death of my mother (April 7th this year). That was a much more chrushing loss for me because she was one of my best friends and the woman who brought me up. Life sucks.

I do not agree at all. If we lost our memory and memories, we lost ourselves. Most of the present and future is gained from the past.

There are very strong efforts for us to lost our memories. We must keep it, as far as we can. We lost our uniqueness and act as a mass if we lost our memory. Remember the past to know who is who in the present. That is what I think.

I care about 9/11 very much: as much as I care about each day in Iraq's war, Lebanon, and a sadly long etc... I care very much about this day, but it's not an special day. Sadly again, death doesn't make our days to be special... Life does :flowers:

One of the things I hate of the humans is his capacity to forget things, for example somebody tricks you today and tomorrow you´re friends like if nothing had happened :(
Although I´m not American I´ll never forget that day and the * (imagine anything you like in *) that killed about 2000 innocent people that were only working to support their families.

Not being evil or anything but 9/11 is an imortant key in history since it was one of the warnings for the new world war (what I think) and again, not to be evil but I think we need a new World War 'cause kids these days don't value life as much as older people would.

Of course I care. 9/11's anniversary marks the day we lost our innocence and our freedom.

In the Western world, Big Brother attempts to censor people's views on religion in fear of recrimination of terrorist attacks. We cannot speak so freely anymore. We cannot move so freely anymore. Our civil liberties are slowly been taken away. We are prisoners of our own fear. We trust no one.

At what cost is freedom?

The world is pretty much controlled by the media not the people which is pretty ironic since that when did the media became king of the world? I mean like we've all heard of "no rules" but this? This is ridiculous! The world is too screwed up right now to be even fixed by humans.

I hate to be nit picky, but I had to get my two cents in...

Wisen up a bit. You learn from your mistakes and your experiences. You learn from history. Without it, we'd be no better off today than we were September 10, 2001. I don't know about you, but I'd like to think we've improved since then, if just a little bit. Hell, we havn't been attacked since then. There is everything to learn from the past.

I do not have time to care about 9/11, I am too busy with mourning the death of my mother (April 7th this year). That was a much more chrushing loss for me because she was one of my best friends and the woman who brought me up. Life sucks.
I don't mean any offense, so don't take any. But thousand's of people's parents died in the World Trade Center, don't be so insensitive. If anything, I'd expect you to be more understanding.

Oh please. There isn't any religious repression from the government in America, assuming that's what you're referring to. In fact, it's very much the other way around - the United States Government considers itself obligated to stop religious/social/political repression in other countries.

I think I already feel flames coming..:party:

It's unavailable for everybody to not remember 9/11. You maybe wake up and don't notice it's 9/11 until you do something, check your schedule, or the date anywhere and you will remember those images, that were so impacting. Now if the thing is that only beacuse if 9/11 anniversary you should meditate and watch the news and special reportages on TV that's wrong, but we should respect the people that do it beacuse someone important died there, and we should also respect that a lot of people died there. But the past is is the past, however that date is an important thing about history right now, like the end of cold war is it.

Nobody is going to forget 9/11 any time soon. The media and our government especially are all too happy to remind us of it.

That said, I could do with a little less blatant reminders, such as video footage and photos of the event... we don't need those to remember.

I hate to say this but us in reality we can't do anything to change history or future so you might as well say goodbye...

I was refering to expressing our views/fears on the Islam religion without being branded as racists and fear of reincrimination. Remember when a satirical carton of Mohamed appeared in a Norwegian (Or was it Swedish?) newspaper? And the riots and bedlam which followed? Yet other religions do not react so extrememly when their values/beliefs are questioned. I understand that Islams feel persecuted and I empathise with their plight but long before the event of 9/11 if you criticized their faith you would get a Fatwa slapped on you.

In Australia, religion just like equality of the sexes has become politically correct. In some non Christain schools wearing Crucifixes is forbidden under the guise of not wearing jewellery. And yet there would be an uproar if a Muslim woman was not allowed to wear her headscarf. Christain values which represents Western society are slowly being diluted to please these external forces that threaten our existence....
