Half Brit and Irish fag here, and I just want people to hear me out for a second.

Not everybody who died 11 years ago at the WTC was an American.

Now you can scream and shout about Hiroshima and Nagasaki all you want. You can say America had it coming for a long time. You can also say it was a conspiracy theory. That Bush planned it to invade Iraq for oil.

And if you're an American, you can say the bombings in Japan were necessary, and you can say it was a terrorist attack.

And yeah, you can make jokes about it, if that's your way of dealing with it, go right ahead, I don't plan to stop you.

I don't care for what you say or what you do regarding anything I've mentioned.

But I just want you to realise something... 3,000 people died 11 years ago. I won't mention the nationalities because they were people, so what matters the flag they came under? I pay my respects not to America, but to all the families who lost somebody they held dear to them on that fateful day and also the families in the middle east who have suffered equally due to the savage aftermath.

As someone once said:

1 Death is a tragedy, 1000 dead is just a statistic...

That someone was Joseph Stalin
"The death of one is a tragedy, the death of a million is just a statistic"

With that being said, I can't exactly recall the number of Russians that died under Stalin, but I think it was somewhere close to 15-20 million.

Ah thanks, I knew it was from someone that had to do something with war and such, but it was too far away in my memory to remember it fully.

You are right, and when about 90.000 civilians die in the middle east from 2004 - 2009 because of Bush's revenge (you can call it what you want but for me it is just cruel revenge on people who never did anything to the USA), then nobody cares either. So don't tell me to be sad for 3000 people that I never knew. Of course it's horrible but nobody can care about every single death. That would hamstring the world. Sorry for weak english.

More than three thousand people die every day in the US alone. They were all afraid, all in pain. I just fail to see how this is any different than a normal day where hundreds of thousands of people die. I'm sorry to whoever it may offend, but it was just a normal day for me. Their deaths are no more or less important or significant than any other death any other day of the year through any other means.

... Wow. That sorta-rant actually changed my point of view on the whole thing. I think I have some apologies to make on facebook.

I'm glad it helped then.

I wish we could get one megathumb every week or something that is worth like 50 thumbs.

I would have just given it to you. Instead you'll have to take one tiny thumb.

Poor sods, poor everyone who had to suffer that fate and the fates alike. War is hell, never has a saying been so true.

A man is not a man during war, only a monster.
