Pretty telling that not one post or thread yesterday took time to reflect on the tragedy of 9/11 and the lives lost.
Lots of guns,Iran,Stupid Republicans and Refugee threads.But we can't even come together for a shout out to those who were our brothers and sisters who lost lives that day.At least not on here.Sad stuff.

I remember.And my heart and thoughts still go out to the families affected still.

    where have you been the last 14 years?

    we have talked about it to death on here. just do a thread search.

    personally, i stayed away from here and stayed silent on social media out of respect for those who died that day.

    some of us have our own motivations for what we discuss and what we stay silent on.

    sorry to have disappointed you. maybe if you started a thread about it yesterday people might have talked about it.

    Just because it wasn't discussed here doesn't mean that some of us didn't have a private discussion about it.

    I agree rr. I did not want to start a thread, but thought the same thing. I watched the same shows on the history channel and discovery. And I still get as angry today as I did all those years ago. And every year, the part that vets me the angriest is when the fireman start talking about the loud thuds they were hearing as they were walking into the lobbies of the buildings. Knowing those people had to do that just makes me sick to my stomach, 14 years later.

    Love whenever an opportunity to use the piss-and-vinegar term arises.

    Thursday evening we watched a documentary about 9/11 but an hour into it, needed some levity in its stead (so easy for us to just change the channel). Definitely has been in / on our minds in many ways. Did some smiling too in the midst of it

    Keep your good mood going, bud :)

    Fuckin A!!! I couldn't agree w/ you more RR. I also watched a lot of the Doc's yesterday last-12 that made me so fucking angry on how soft we have become as a country over the years, especially the last 6.5... I will never ever forget and called a few of my close Vet and active duty friends yesterday to say Thank You and catch up on stuff… All are concerned about stuff going on in Europe…. How many of these "refugees" you think are ISIS? Their answer…WAY TOO FUCKING MANY

    Then why didn't you just make a thread yourself? Fucken A, that wouldn't have been that hard.

    So you made this thread whining about it instead of starting a thread that you wished was here. :confused:

    Most people I ran into on Friday (the 11th) seemed a bit despondent like there was something they didn't want to talk about. Most people just don't like to think about it. I'm not all that surprised that there were no threads about it.

    Agreed. Instead of starting a new thread on a pj message board I taught 9/11 to 100 8th graders. Some crazy stories out there.

    I'm always a bit fascinated and confused by the conspiracy theories. They're often very convincing but so are the rebuttals.

    Maybe you know, did they ever manage to put together another Hellen Keller archives? I know there was talk about hoping people would come through with items, ephemera, and so forth that are still out there in order to put something together. Bummer that the main archives was lost (along with all the rest of course).

    Where was your thread yesterday? I would love to read it.

    Since it's being brought up, can we discuss how no other steel building in history has ever collapsed due to fire?

    How about how building seven fell into a nice little pile in the same way a controlled demolition does? How about the fact that no plane hit building seven. How did fires start?

    I'm open for any of these discussions

    sorry bri i didn't explain myself to well on that one...my students had some crazy personal stories. one student's grandmother lost her leg in the pentagon attack. another student's mom worked on the 100th floor of the south tower...she missed work that day to get a sonogram to make sure her baby was ok (which in turn was the kid telling me the story). one student was named after a firefighter who died. etc etc.

    What other 2 buildings have ever been hit by a 747.at 500 mph in the top floors? How should the buildings have fallen? Kind of hard to compare those buildings collapsing when it's never happened before. Those buildings fell how they should have fallen given the damage. All of your conspiracy theories have been proven wrong a long time ago.

    You are absolutely correct on all points.

    What these conspiracy theorists never do is come up with a reason WHY.

    They are happy to say "the government did it" but never have a reason why.

    Maybe at the conspiracy theorist convention in 1740 they forgot that part of the program.
