A moment of silence for those who died 9/11

We are gathered here to pay our respect to those who lost their lives on the dreadful day on September 11, 2001. Now a moment of silence please.

Just FYI, I believe most people are planning a moment of silence at roughly 8:45am EST tomorrow. I will be at work at that time.

I JUST WANNA NORMAL DAY WITHOUT PRAYERS, SPEECHES, OR PATRIOTIC WEARING OF CLOTHES. AND NO DUMB CEREMONIES (OR WHATEVER YOU CALL THEM)
DUMB SCHOOL, DUMB BAND.

How about patriotic nudity? Would you prefer that? I know I wouldn't. Lots of ugly people at my school (such as myself).

GoneCrazy · Post by **GoneCrazy** » 2002-09-10 07:21pm

i didn't quite mean that. (though if the girls did that'd be ok) i meant they shouldn't overly encourage/require u to wear patriotic colors on your clothes. i gonna forget they told us to tomorrow they cant tdo anything to me.

(but i get your point)

Raxmei · Post by **Raxmei** » 2002-09-10 07:23pm

Yeah, I knew what you meant. They want us to wear white tomorrow.

In my opinion the best way to honor the victims is to not give up your civil liberties and destroy the constitution.

all too true

Technically, since IIRC NYC is in EST, it's September 10th.

9PM EST

Time for sleeep

I will be doing nothing of course because any moment of silence is of course meaningless

However a W-80 on Bagdad at half past eigth would be a fitting tribute

Or if we wanted to be Humanitarian about it

Two full wings(SW terms here, Tweleve Squadrens IE 144 Planes) droping Bombs on Iraq targets at 5 AM to be followed at 10 AM byy a second strike and then at 10:30AM by a ground invasion would be a much more fiting tribue than any wreath laying or some such nonsense

Ah, yes.

I really think that 9/11 is being overinflated. I mean I'm not trying to dimish the event or the people that were killed in it. But it was only about 3000, in just the Hiroshema Bombing we killed abou 190,000 civilians if you count the radiation poisoning. That was just one of the nuclear attacks. And these people are acting like this is the greatest atrocity in the history of time. I don't think we shouldn't have a moment of silence or rememberance, but still, I think the American populace is blowing this way out of porportion.

Azeron · Post by **Azeron** » 2002-09-10 10:28pm

dude, if you only knew anyone who died. There isn't anyone I know that didn't know someong who got killed. For me it was a guy i traded papers with (NYTimes vs Wall Street Journal) on the train ride to NYC everyday back in college.

there was no need to kill these people. there were decent upstanding people in our community. funny how the arabs say that the jews planned it and all left that day. A jew who lived a few doors down from my stepdad must have forgot to attend that zionist meeting. He didn't want a jewish burial, he had an irish one, and had the bagpipes play on the peir he used to fish off down the street.

there are allot of missing faces where I come from. You spend some much time on a train, you expect to see someone, and when they aren't there, you remember, 9/11.

bastards. They hit my neighbors. I never wanted this war, and so do many americans, But if it takes remaking islam so this doesn't happen again for along time, I say do it. Invade, and beat them into submisssion, and rebuild them into a more peaceful society like we did in japan in germany.

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2002-09-10 10:48pm

Forgive my brief anti-American point of view:

Far worse has happened in the world. As anarchistbunny said, the bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki produced a death toll of about 210,000: about 67 times that of 9/11.

The way things are going, the Bleading Hearts are trying to turn 9/11 into the "American Hiroshima". Everyone has to pay attention to America. Shit, we even turned the Winter Olympics into a political drama, begging for the world to continue to pay attention to us. It makes me sick sometimes. I don't really care that much about it anymore. It's a bad thing, yes. But I don't feel bad about it.

I remember the bigger events, the ones that really matter to the world.

Sorry in advance if this pisses any of you off. But I'm not a patriot.

how many lives were saved because an invasion didn't take place?

Afaganistan, what 2000 killed, 15,000 saved from curable dieseases and malnutrition already.

I think lives saved goes back into our kill point box.

Post by **Mr Bean** » 2002-09-10 11:10pm

Indeed its quite true, Sure they killed a bunch of our Citizins
But a little clue it

ITS NOT THAT MANY!

Per year Isreal looses twice that number on both sides and people hardly bat an eye anymore when the latest kid straps clothes made by Du-pont and gives himself a hug on a crowed bus

Tell of six youths gunned down by the Isreialy army and you get an ooh thats so said and barley ten seconds later they barley remeber it, Tell of the next day when six Army Soilders, were guned down in a croweded resurant in retripution and also killing a german boy and his family out on holiday and you get barley a nod

Azeron · Post by **Azeron** » 2002-09-10 11:26pm

I don't think the average american is ready to show the kind of restraint the isrealis show to the palestinians.

I don't think we should have to deal with it.

Durandal · Post by **Durandal** » 2002-09-10 11:38pm

In my honest opinion, the people who died on September 11 should be held up as martyrs to freedom. Civil liberties don't come as freebies. They have a price, and every so often, the tree of liberty must be replenished with the blood of patriots.

Azeron · Post by **Azeron** » 2002-09-10 11:39pm

I don't think thats what Thomas Jefferson meant when you refer to 9/11

Cal Wright · Post by **Cal Wright** » 2002-09-10 11:53pm

Sure, no one dropped a fucking bomb on us. However, it was the second World War by the way. Not to deminish those who were killed in the two atomic blasts, but face it, war time, and it took TWO bombs to make them surrender even after Germany was down and out. September 11? War time? Those bitch ass towel heads don't even like each other. They are constantly waring and suiciding like it's something glorious. All I can say is after that act, we should have had a full out invasion. Hell, we've been over the once before, you know when the USSR was trying to take over. Biggest mistake we ever made. To keep in line with a board on the website stardestroyer.net my words are this. 'Wipe them out. All of them.'
Not to mention, some of the people that died in the Trade Center were artists, like myself, great minds lost due to some sorry ass cult. To those that died, a moment of silence, and a salute.

I would like to pay tribute to the brave men and women of the New York public service department who gave their lives willingly to save and rescue the victims. They are the defenition of hero and I will never forget their courage, humanitarism and human spirit. May they all rest in peace and know that we are truely all gratefull and in their debt.

Heros to the last.

I agree 100% with DG_Cal_Wright.

And as I recall, at around 3:45 PST 364 days ago, I said "NUKE THE BASTARDS" to one of my friends over AIM.

And to this I hold with assuming that it's just the bastards getting showered in nuclear flame...
