P.S. I know others from outside these border prowl this site as we now have teams world wide. And I would understand if you did not immedialty remember about it being 9/11 but I am sure you still know what it is and its importance to AMerica hence my exasperation for any American who forgot, not that that would need to be explained or anything.
Any way that is the end of my rave have a nice day folks  |
First of all, if you’re going to write something offensive prefacing it with something along the lines of “no offense” doesn’t nullify the venom in your words.
You can’t personally legislate that everyone in this country is required to remember, recognize, and mourn every September 11th. Feel free to try to push such legislation through Congress, but you’ll get no support from me. You’ll have about as much success as you would if you tried to pass a law stating that every American must remember, unaided, that it takes exactly 270 electoral votes to clinch the presidency. People have the right to think for themselves and remember, forget, or ignore days such as July 4, December 7, September 11, or any other important day in American history. I don’t put up an American flag on those days, and I don’t really celebrate July 4. I’m allowed to do this, I’m an American citizen, and you shouldn’t suggest that I should be “drop kicked” across the border if I don’t meet your required amount of mourning/remembrance.
It sucks that so many people died on September 11, 2001. It sucks that so many Americans, Afghanis, Australians, British, Indonesians, Iraqis, Israelis, Pakistanis, Palestinians, Russians, and Spaniards (among many others) have died since then. But if it took September 11th to make you realize that we aren’t safe here in America, and if you believe that we’re any better off right now, then I wish I could be as blissfully naïve as you are/were. It’s only a matter of time before what happened in Beslan happens here in America, and I would hope to God, if I believed in one, that it doesn’t personally impact any of us on these boards.
