9/11: Dont live in the past Sep 11, 2004

Now that 9/11 is edging back to the calander everyones getting emotional... Take me seriously! Heres the review i wrote for "I miss you daddy"

Okay before i burst out in complete anger of what this movie is about i gotta say that the graphics were okay!

Now Listen! Really take me seriously when i say to just get over Sept, 11! The US hasn't gone through any problems for awhile then we get hurt a lil and we all put up our american flags!

You know when we put up our flags after that incident I aknowledged that as a great patriotic get-together. Like a month or 2 after or so most of the flags went down!

The only reason I think anyone should still be angered by the situation is if they actually lost someone!!!!

You wanna symbolize this country? Keep your flag up all the time!

You want to hurt terrorism? Get fear out of your head!

Thats the POINT of terrorism! To spike fear into an area!

There's nothing we can do anymore to save those lost in september 11! You cant go living in the past! If you live in the past you'll never be happy!

If you lost someone in 9/11 Phill or any other readers out there, then thats a huge exception.

Phill I know what your trying to do, your trying to show the cold blooded people how serious that was but its overboard! I feel sick after watching that just thinking about how it would b if i lost my parents in an accident! Why remind anyone again?!

Im not trying to be cruel...
It's just that its true what they say...

"If you keep living in the past... You'll never be happy"

Newgrounds, 7/10 reviews said they were or almost were put to tears. I can understand this if you lose someone, but if you didn't... see above...

Being patriotic is about remembering the past and respecting those who died.
Not shuffing it aside and trying to forget.

Being patriotic is NOT remembering the past!

Thats called sympothy, or you can your a stronger word, empathy, it means feeling bad for someone elses loss.

But this is getting rediculous! Read the reviews! Most of those peopel there who said they were in tears had no direct connection to 9/11!

Here's something to feel bad about...

Every day thousands of people a day die because of war, terrible leaders, and the worste, lack of stability leading to starvation and disease!

I bet u can look at that it even maybe laugh at it! but when something happens to us we panic!

Tell me how the fuck is that patriotic.

Ok, so being patriotic means NOT being sympathetic? You're retarded.

But this is getting rediculous! Read the reviews! Most of those peopel there who said they were in tears had no direct connection to 9/11!

Oh, so you have to have a direct connection to grieve over something?
You're pathetic.

Here's something to feel bad about...

Every day thousands of people a day die because of war, terrible leaders, and the worste, lack of stability leading to starvation and disease!

Yes, I do feel bad about that.

I bet u can look at that it even maybe laugh at it!

Oh yes. Everybody laughs when 300 Russian children are massacred. Thats hillarity right there.

but when something happens to us we panic!

No shit. If I flew a plane into your house, wouldn't
you panic?

You obviously didn't lose someone close to you from 9/11, so there's really very little that you can relate to anyone that did. If your parents, significant other or kid got killed in the towers, you'd probably still be upset after 3 years.

Yes, we should move on, but just trying to "get over it" AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN, BITCH! It's September 11th. People are going to be upset. It's the anniversery. Lots of people died and the terrorists practically laughed in our faces. It's worth many moments of silence.

Maybe YOU should get over it and just shut the fuck up. But then again, you're 13...you know everything, right?

no you misunderstood the sentence, im not saying beign patriotic is forgetting the past, im saying just because ur remember the past doesn't mean your patriotic

Ok, so being patriotic means NOT being sympathetic? You're retarded.

Im saying that patriotic has no tie to sympathy, if your a guy who crys when he steps on a spider by accident or a guy who could care less if his mother dies has no tie to wether or not your patriotic

Oh, so you have to have a direct connection to grieve

Not every Freaking year!?

Yes, I do feel bad about that.

Well why aren't u crying every day?

Oh yes. Everybody laughs when 300 Russian children are massacred. Thats hillarity right there.
No shit. If I flew a plane into your house, wouldn't

Yes, but if someone flew a plane into my house, would you panic? Yes of course u would panic if your my neighbor and you would mourn over my loss

BUT you would get over it, you wouldn't cry every year!

Your looking for an argument man, im just looking to make a point and you guys arent getting it!

I'm going to agree with whoever-it-was that said this is unpatriotic... Let's get the basic layout of this post:

"AMERICA, FUCK YOU. STOP REMEMBERING THE PAST. IT'S UNPATRIOTIC."

Right, patriotism? No.

Your reply to this isn't going to be clever or witty, so just put down the internet and go outside.

I don't really care what people do on this day. I acted like it was any other day. No one that I talked to even mentioned 9/11. I am not very emotional about the event. However, I know that many people are, and I respect them if they want to remember this day.

Your all completley mistaking my line "get over it!" I said that out of anger!

You cant just POOF and your all happy, but dont be miserable every september! not to mention its close to my birthday!

REMEMBER the past! NEVER forget it! Just dont get all upset about something you had no power over! No american citizen could have done anything to stop it, and no american citizen can so a thing to change it!

As for people who did lose someone, yes YOU DO HAVE A REASON TO MOURN! You lose someone! You lose a piece of your life that you cant get back!

Peopl dont you see?! Your hurting yourself! If terrorism was a movie, it would probabley start out as...

This terrorism is sponsored in part by fear and depression...

This is terrorisms concept, to inspire terror, and look at yourselfs! terror right on your tear drowned faces! When they build that building on ground zero i guarantee u that not many will want to be there out of FEAR!

Just because im 13 doesn't mean i can have a true opinion! Not every 13 year old is a small minded unwise person!

Your the biggest goddamn fucking idiot ever. People were in tears because of the fact the little girl LOST her father, not that it was about 911. In fact, they dont really mention 911 in the flash that much. Seeing a parentless child is heartbreaking, and that is what gets to us. And as for remembering 911... why do we have Veteran's Day? Because in this country we honor people who lost their lives to war and terrorism, not nessecarily because it's patriotic, because it's the right thing to do! Your an asshole, and you should have lost your parents in 911, mabye you'd have some goddamn compassion.

I hate TIME CRIME!

Was anyone watching the rememberance cerremony this morning. I was actually laughing at this one part. (OMG, laughing!? FUCK YOU ASSHOLE) Yeah, anyway. They had 2 old people reading names, and the old guy kept skipping names, so the women keeps getting mad it him. Its funny seeing elderly people fight, especially when theyre on stage, trying to be serious.

You're definitely entitled to your own opinion. Not sure about the TRUE part though...

And sorry, but realistically, 13 year old kids really DON'T have a lot of wisdom. They just don't. It's ok, it's just a fact that you're refusing to accept.

It's funny that you think you're trying to educate everyone when you understand very little about the other people who went through this. But go on, shout all you want and get as much attention as you think you can get.

What he says make sense, cause i lost no loved ones in 9/11, only my clan leader in Counter-Strike who was training me and a few others, we never got to be CPL material or stick together. I agree, sorta, about the don't live in the past, because if you live in depresing times, then it'll consume you. However you must not forget those who died, and especially in a situation as this. Would you forget Pearl Harbor? No, unless you lost noone or don't give a shit. Why forget this, this is our generation's pearl harbor. Your experiencing it, so let emotions flow.

I think you're entitled to your opinion and I agree with it.....to a certain extent. I love America, I've been all over the world protecting it, I've participated in BOMBING another country to protect it. I see nothing wrong with taking a day to remember the men and women who died because of stupidity. And remembering the people who died trying to save those people. Hell, remember them, Honor them, and respect them, I say. Taking this day was a way for people to heal themselves, and maybe get some closure. Sorry, asshole if it's not fast enough for you for all of those people to just " get over it". This doesn't piss me off at all, what pisses me off is the fact everyone selling American Flag memorabilia. Which,to me, took advantage of everyone's patriotism and resistance....If you want to bitch about something, bitch about that!!!

I agree to an extent to what he said..

If someone you knew or cared about died in that accident, you have a right to care. It's part of you, a part of your reality that's taken away by a blaze of fire.

Otherwise,
You. People. Need. To. Get. Over. It.

It was a tragedy indeed, but move on, people. If you want something to grieve about, think about this.

It's been three years and the culprit responsible for these attacks has not been caught, could be laughing in a hottub sipping wine for all I know, our troops went out and caught someone -SUSPECTED- of Bush's over used line "Weapons of Mass Destruction" Our "President" Was threatened of these attacks and took no action, AND the Death Toll of americans in Iraq is over 1,000 now.

I'm aware I'm either going to get.
1.A patriotic post about the -somewhat- success in Iraq.
2. Someone with actual intelligence corrects me, disagrees, or agrees.
Or 3. Says something else.

Alright. 'Nuff said. I'm done with this post.
