Yahoo alrady has a little something up. Radio has started talking about it. It's only a matter of time until we are in full on 24/7 coverage...
But my real question is....
what was it like back in the day with pearl harbor? Or D day, or V day, or THE bomb day in japan?
just curious.

Speaking as someone who was fortunate to not have lost someone close that day, I feel like I've seen it all, and seeing how the loss of 3,000+ people has been used as a marketing & political tool over the years, just makes me sick.
And for people directly affected by that tragedy, I can't imagine them wanting to relive those emotions yet again.
was like a picture
of a sunny day
“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.”
― Abraham Lincoln
you dont get it because you didnt lose family and friends..
its for their memory ..it hurts t relive...but its in their honor
Time to let it be.
And telling anyone to get over this is as disrespectful as anyone who believes the conspiracies.

"I play good, hard-nosed basketball.
Things happen in the game. Nothing you
can do. I don't go and say,
"I'm gonna beat this guy up."
It’s still an open wound for those who lost loved ones that day. They will never fully heal.
I think the least we can do is take some time to remember that instead of getting upset about media coverage.
and as far as back in the day with Pearl Harbor or dropping the bomb, those are still remembered to this day on the anniversary of the event, 9/11 will be no different, it will always be remembered and revisited year after year after year.
It's part of our history.
some people just don't get it...and they are the ones who didn't lose anyone or had debris and body parts fall on them ...
it amazes me how insensitive some people can be
if you don't want to watch it fine..but don't piss all over it
My brother was on his way to NY that morning and was turned around. I had to pick him up at work, it was a very eerie drive, everyone on the road just kind of staring out into space.
I remember it like it was yesterday.
Cubs at Mets for Sunday Night Baseball. Could they find a worse matchup.
Anytime that anything happens that is even slightly news worthy we get media blitzed. So I've become somewhat accustomed to it. When Anna Nicole Smith died you would have thought a royal family member of some country died. If a little white girl gets kidnapped it's a huge story. If Brett Favre hasn't decided if he's going to play this year, some reporters will be camped out on his lawn.
9/11 is certainly different, I don't mean to compare it to those things. But just like with anything else that happens, the news have no volume dial. A story these days pretty much just gets a mention, or a national media blitz. There is hardly any middle ground.
As for the way things were back in WWII. I obviously don't know, because I wasn't alive. I know those things were big stories, but mass media didn't really have the capabilities to go for an all out blitz on the public the way they do today. Radio, newspaper, and newsreel at the theaters (I don't know how often those were updated or how long they took to produce) were the only ways to get at people. There was no 24 hour news cycle.
Anyways, if you're not interested in the 9/11 coverage, you can avoid it. Just don't watch the news, try watching channels that aren't that topical. Comedy Central (except for Daily Show and Colbert) or something like that, and if you're in the car just listen to a CD or an iPod. That's essentially how I wound up going several hours on 9/11 without knowing that anything had actually happened. It wasn't until I went into a record store and they were watching the coverage that I realized we'd been attacked.
leave it to you to find some humor in this.
and yes I laughed.
yea my company is doing the charity day on monday ..we raised 10 million last year ...great for the charities and families
Diamondback's / Yankee's since they were in the World Series that year.
White Sox @ Yankee's would have been the way to go....
although i guess with the Cubs and Mets, you still have the city's matched up.
watching the towers coming down..and people jumping to their death and all the burnt cars and on and on
tv is powerful enough but if you were in the middle of it you would think differently..i guarantee it
everybody talks about what a great community this is..... :roll:
yea big deal..someone sent an album to someone else ..or someone gave a spare ticket to someone else...big freaking deal
have some compassion for serious issues.....worried about the media...don't fucking watch it ...simple
Cue the fucking violins buddy.
You seem to think you are the only one who has "experienced" the death of a loved one.
Whenever a post is made about this subject, you love to come here and say how people "don't get it",
how insenstive they are or how because they weren't there then they don't understand.
Refresh my memory, who did you lose on September 11th?
I lost all 4 of my grandparents before I was 13 years old to cancer.
I watched helplessly as both of my parents succumbed to cancer as well.
2 weeks ago, I stood by the bed of my wife's uncle as he was taken off life support and we watched
him die.
You choose to come here and berate people because they don't share the same opinion as you
on how to grieve or what to say?
Let it go dude, we're all going to die some day.
I lost my old man this year too and had to watch him die when we took him off life support and I don't think Neily is putting anyone down or taking away anything from what other people have lost. The difference is, he gets it rubbed in his face every year and has to see video of it every year. I don't have to see a video of my dad taking his last breaths every March 4th. I get what you are saying but everyone grieves differently and a lot of people lost family members in a very public way that is replayed every year.
Does it make it any harder? I don't think so. I will remember the day my dad died just like Neily will remember 9/11, but the difference is his was much more public.
Just my 2 cents.
Well put, Cliffy.
6/12/08 - Tampa, FL
8/23/09 - Chicago, IL
9/28/09 - Salt Lake City, UT (11 years too long!!!)
9/03/11 - East Troy, WI - PJ20 - Night 1
9/04/11 - East Troy, WI - PJ20 - Night 2
And a very level-headed/reasonable 2 cents at that. Probably what the thread needed at this point, less it spiral into a heated and un-civil argument.
I concur wholeheartedly.
Very well said.
lost an uncle ,cousin and 90 odd friends /co workers
im just tired of people with the fucking media....if you don't wanna see it ..don't watch it
the people who talk so nonchalantly are the ones who have no feelings for that day
just don't watch the news if it bothers you so much..but don't make it sound like 9/11 rremembrance should just go away ..THAT'S FUCKING RUDE AND INSENSITIVE
i to lost all 4 gp's before 15 so i know that feeling
Just like my nephew who is a Marine, when he came back from Afghanstan, I asked him what it was like, and he said, you know what you see on TV, it's like that only every where you look. 360 degrees.
where did anyone say there shouldn't be any coverage?
unless you lock yourself in a room and leave the TV/Radio/Internet off, you are going to see it. it's already started.
relax my man....
this is soo fucking disrespectful,its sickening
i looking for a jpg that has been floating around facebook.
it's all in text, black background i do believe.
pretty much summing up why the media sucks.
i'm kicking myself for not saving it.
figured if anybody, you fine folks would have it.
Its always shocking to me, thinking about teenagers now in 2012. Alot of them probably were too young to even remember the events of that day. Hard to fathom anyone like that.
I'll definitely be listening to The Rising and The Disintegration Loops.
