As I said on the politics forum- I’m tired of stuff like this. It happened. I watched it.
But I’m still sick of these stupid somber services where they read off all the names and light candles. It’s nearly a decade. It’s time to move on.
And if I hear one more “Never forget” or “Always remember…” C’mon guys… Remember what? That there’s evil in the world? You needed terrorist attacks to remember that? And never forget what? The attacks themselves? Who could?
We all know what day it is and what happened. It’s time to move on. Hate on me all you want, but the shit was in my backyard. It hit close to home on so many levels that I couldn’t even tell you… and even I’m done with all this.
I’m really, really sorry you feel this way. I’m not going to hate on you. I can’t imagine how you feel inside, and I hope I never find out.
You must not have lost a loved one.
You must not have been there when it happened. Seen the most prominent pieces of our most famous port crumble.
You must not have been that one guy who’s turn it was to stop and grab donuts that day, whose life was saved because of it.
You must not have been there to give aid to the victims. Not only the ones who were in the buildings, but who were in the immediate area when they fell, injured by dust, heat, and debris.
You must not have come later, to help clean up, after the voices of those trapped inside could no longer be heard… but whose smell, that smell of human decay, while unheard, was so much louder.
I hope you never have to meet those men and women alive who remember Pearl Harbor, and 9/11.
If you do, I hope you hang your head in shame and beg a higher power forgiveness for your poor attitude.
See? This is what I’m talking about. Bullshit hyperbole and hyped up rhetoric. That’s what 9/11 has become about.
What I can tell you is that I was a fuckload closer to it then you were in Ohio, and that I knew a TON of people who were inside those buildings. I was buddies with many firefighters who went over from NJ to help with the cleanup as well. Don’t give me all this, “You must not have been” shit. Save it for someone who will listen to your meaningless opinion.
The Twin Towers were in my backyard- I could see the smoke from my fuckin house. I don’t need some Ohio hillbilly telling me what they should and shouldn’t mean to me.
I remember them in my own way… but it doesn’t include threads on message boards or facebook statuses saying “NeVa 4GET!!!”[/quote]
So in other words,you are wasting your time…just sayin,man.
