I actually get physically ill seeing the videos from 9/11. Knowing that there were PEOPLE, that died, and that their families know they died right then. It just disgusts me. Especially the videos of the people leaping from the towers. -shakes head-<br /> <br /> Well, we did get an item, so I guess this post doesn't matter XD
I personally feel kinda uncomfortable with the clips for precisely that reason. Seems like grinding salt into old wounds.<br /> <br /> I'm not going to wig out and bellow at anyone that posts pictures of the collapsing towers or anything like that, I've just gotten to a point where I try to mentally filter it out/skip over it.
Y'know.... ive been thinking about what Carni and Geist have been saying.. and it makes me think..<br>What do you guys think about showing clips of the towers collapsing?<br>If it had been a car crash involving my dad instead of the twin towers, I'd be pretty offended if people insisted on replaying the clip of him dying in a crash every single year.
hhaha no they're not celebrating what happened on that day, but it is a day known for "celebration" which i always found kinda weird. It would be weird to create a dumb "holiday" on 9/11 for fun.
Gam, if people are literally celebrating what happened at Columbine, that's pretty sick. <br /> <br /> If you mean people try to memorialize for the kids who died, I hold the same opinion. I doubt the families who lost their children want to be reminded of the tragedy every year, but even so, if it's the case that people send condolences and gifts to those families, they're still doing so just for the direct victims of what happened. I'm not going to pat myself on the back and get a gift, or turn the day into a holiday for myself, and then say it's to pay respects to the victims. It just makes no sense.
Geist we took down Osama Bin Laden this year. It took 10 years after the attack to kill him. I dont care if they make any items. I just thought that with it being te 10th year and the same year Osama was taken down that we could atleast have something.
what do you guys think about the day of columbine school massacre? other people celebrate it in... different... ways. do you support or no? This isnt meant to spark any fights im just genuinely curious
Silverleaf, I was 17 when it happened. I remember waking up, walking out of my room, and staring at it happening on the television. It was completely horrifying.<br /> <br /> And there are worse things happening constantly in the world. This nation doesn't have.. the best perspective on things like that. I'm definitely not saying it wasn't a horrible tragedy.<br /> <br /> I'd find items for 9/11 on this site tasteless, and I'm also becoming tired of being constantly reminded of it. It was <i>ten years ago.</i>
I'm sorry. I dn't suggest. As much as I know this was tragic, I'm getting annoyed with all this hype. <br /> <br /> What about those who were killed by pearl harbor? What about those who were killed in school shootings? What about those who were in school bombings?<br /> <br /> What about those fighting overseas fighting for our freedome everyday?<br /> <br /> We would need to have an item in memory of everyone of the people who died. In every type of mass death.
I found it offensive on somethings you said. I remeber clearly of this day. I was only 4 but it has left me with some graphic memories. I watched as some people jumped out of the building. I was affected by this because i saw what happened to those people. My sisters just left for school and they were in 4th grade when it happened. I remeber i watched the news in the living room on this bright clear day. I remember watching the look on my mom's face as it changed. I didn't understand that well what happened but i knew it was something horrible. I think we could have a few items where it is donated to charities.
