to think that if 9/11 had happened anywhere else we wouldn't be remembering it ten years on?

[wannaBe]

... or probably even one year on.

I am not taking away from how horrific it was for all who were directly affected.

But if it had been anywhere but America the world would have moved on and we wouldn't be facing wall-to-wall coverage ten years on. Even if it had been the UK only the UK would be remembering.

It feels like there is some sort of tragedy competitiveness going on.

It's all horrible.

I'm drunk and emotional. I fucking hate September 11th.

I think because most people believe that the conspiracy theories are a crock of shit tbh, kerry.

I find your posts disrespectful and offensive Kerry, this isn't a thread to spout off conspiracy theories and tell people to "fuck off"

This is a thread about remembrance for the dead,

Have a little respect, yeah?

"and it didn't 'change history' like 9/11 did."

All events like this change history, even the ones that seem so minute can have the biggest outcomes.

you crass insensitivity and i is ballsy and call it as see it is deliberately provocative.and attention seeking.you know the impact and likely reaction to your posts,so maybe like the argy bargy,getting a wee thrill?

LDN - from dictionary ACTIVITY: a specific deed, action, function, or sphere of action.

If you choose to associate my words with playgroup it is your problem and, indeed, very telling.

You know, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and all that...

WanneBe your last post was at a very different angle from the OP.

It is one thing to argue that the nearest and dearest may (justifiably) find the footage distasteful.

It is quite a different thing from the assertions of your OP.

you squabble to protect your mn self but are so blithe about your own deliberatively provocative posts. attention seeking

Flinging insults around is juvenile, as is telling someone to "fuck off" on a thread such as this.

It's also pretty juvenile to post deliberately provocative things on a thread just to stir shit and get a reaction,

Example: The picture of Hector Pieterson being carried after having been shot in the Soweto Riots.

A single moment caught on camera boosted global awareness of apartheid in South Africa and changed the shape of politics worldwide.

Sorry, had to throw an example in.

I was against the Iraq war - it doesn't stop me commemorating 9/11.

bemy I am sorry but I find you too aggressive in tone for an actual discussion about this.

You cannot understand the points I am making or address them well so I will apologise and bow out of discussing this with you.

I think that kerry is referring to "crying" hypothetically. As in, you can't go around doing as you please and then think you're untouchable.

Does anyone actually care what Kerrymumbles thinks? Other than conspiracy theorists of course.

Think the worst?

Like thinking the American Government somehow orchestrated a plot to kill nearly 3000 people on it's own soil?

We need an eye roll emoticon
