GraveHorizon Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 For the 10th anniversary of 9/[color=#008080]11[/color], my friend and I put together a tribute video to honor the victims of the attack and the perseverance of the American people, as well as celebrate our recent victory in the War on Terror. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geflSetJ9Ik[/media] Discuss 9/[color=#008080]11[/color] and how it has affected you, and what you did in honor of the 10th anniversary.

Apostle of Calamity Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 There were already two threads about this event. I don't want to be that girl but couldn't you have just posted it in one of the other two topics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourmaline Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Well, you did ask what we did and how it has affected us. It seemed to hurt everybody around me more than I even imagined it hurting. Personally, it didn't hurt me, if at all. Nor did I do anything in honor of it.

Simping For Hina Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 I have no remembrance of that day. It did not effect me in anyway. I can't give tribute to something that is only a memory I can't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to be that girl but couldn't you have just posted it in one of the other two topics? [/quote]There are already threads about it? I tried finding any, but the search wouldn't accept "9/11" because it's too short, and "September 11th" has no results. I remember what I was doing when it happened. I was in the 7th grade, and we had all started getting to class in the early morning (West coast), and someone said something about planes hitting a building. Then in class, the teacher told us a terrorist attack had just occurred. When she mentioned the Pentagon, I turned to someone behind me and said something to the effect of "Ho ho, that'll show the government pigs." I was reprimanded by the teacher and she told me it was a serious issue. I was such an ignorant kid back then, I had no idea of the gravity of the situation. I saw an interesting Nova special last night on PBS about the construction of the new tower and the memorial. They look pretty snazzy.

Mehmani Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 [url="http://www.unitedhumanrights.org/genocide/genocide_in_rwanda.htm"]http://www.unitedhumanrights.org/genocide/genocide_in_rwanda.htm[/url] [img]http://edu.glogster.com/media/12/37/63/14/37631465.jpg[/img] Every year, people talk about the evils of terrorists and how many lives they have taken. In Rwanda, 1994, "Hutu Power" racist paramilitary groups backed by the government and the media killed 800,000 Tutsi men, women and children. Women were systematically raped. Everyone who tried to stop it was killed. Most were families in their homes, set upon by neighbours with machetes. People were often ripped to pieces by hand. Do a google image search of "Rwandan Genocide" and look at the pyramids of skulls. Despite being the worst ethnic cleansing since the Holocaust, little mourn. There are no one-minute silences, no worldwide days of mourning. Remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonStar Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I was a teenager and heard about it in the car, but I didn't really know a lot about the Twin Towers and how severe it was. Blergh people can go on with theories about who planned what and where and I know I wasn't involved in it, it didn't happen in my garden and I don't even care about the reason why it happened. The thing that saddens me is the number of dead people who did nothing besides going to work and the dead firemen who did their best to save people. And yes, the Rwanda genocide was probably just as bad as the Nazi Holocaust. My mum and some other people in my family think about it, but many people...kind of forget it.:/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
