most of the people that say 'get over it' are not living in the us, so most of them dont know how 9/11 changed the country

The attacks shouldn't be remembered with the melodrama that a lot of people do, but more of a feeling of wishing terrorists would just learn that they are being pathetic and are taking peoples lives needlessly.

then why don't we celebrate leonardo da vinci's birthday and funeral every year, because after all, the whole humanity owes him a lot of inventions.

I really don't get your point there...

Indeed, to say the attacks only had a big impact the USA would be naïve, many Americans think that their country was the only one affected because they don’t actually look at the world picture. It changed a lot of things in nearly every country. It was the first large attack of the new Al Qaeda, which meant that the whole world had to change to defend against their cowardly honourless attacks.

I still dont get where the evidence is that its them, or is there
but yeah your right, many other countries have been affected

Is this the wrong time to say september 11th is my birthday?
   It's awkward when you tell people that because everyone already associates september 11th with something extremely bad! My point is, even though most people have not been directly affected by the events on september 11th (my condolences to the people who have) even people here in England associate 11/9/01 with something that shook the world. I believe that America took the bombings of the 11th far too seriously, and a lot of complicated political incentives were hidden behind the events. What I mean is that America pounced on the event as a beginning of their war on terror, which is still going strong today. So strong infact that they were far too busy spending $billions on the war on terror, to spend any on improving the flood defences of New Orleans which may have reduced the damage caused by hurricane Katrina!
   By dwelling in the past over terrorist events, aren't we actually reacting exactly how the terrorists want us to react? In effect America make such a big deal of the 11th every year because they are scared of another terrorist attack (having not endured many attacks on their home turf before!) I think America should strive to move forwards, much like London and Manchester did after the IRA bombings. Manchester used the bombings to start an urban renewal program which benefits the centre to this day!

How is that not disrespectful. 

This is one of those topics where if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

haha, that lame excuse again

true if you have nathing to do w/ it why bother to comment? kke p it to ur self and dont make anyone feel bad

Right, if someone's opinion makes you feel bad or your opinion makes others feel bad, then no one say what they think.

Deal?
