Tsk, sad thing is everyone only remembers the attacks on New York, no one seems to remember anything wrong their country did (this applies to whatever nasty thing happened in the UK and then the British Mandate of Palestine in the case of the Brits.).Kmarion wrote:

Yeah it's a shame people remember friends, family, and loved ones who were lost in the attacks... you insensitive prick.MGS3_GrayFox wrote:

It's not just select families and friends, it is an entire nation that has raised this event into a monumental moment that many believe to be the greatest tragedy ever to occur, or at least they act that way. Many nations have suffered worse, numerous times. It is a shame, no doubt, but it is significant amongst world history only because Americans and their government seek to make it significant.mtb0minime wrote:

For someone who is sooo tired of hearing about it you sure have made it a point to make an appearance in every thread regarding the date. You're looking more obsessive than the people you are criticizing.ghettoperson wrote:

Already have, pretty much every country on the planet has had a worse attack in the name of terrorism, so wait until 2011 when my mate Osama puts his real plan into action.Lotta_Drool wrote:

That's the only thing that bothers me. I'm fine with Americans up until this point. And it's the second time this has happened. You need to have a quick look at world history because a lot of older countries have gone through worse, in old times and modern. It's using 9/11 as a "You don't know what it's like you have it easy" when really we've been there and got the t shirt.FEOS wrote:

Well then, how foolish of Americans to remember the greatest attack to ever happen too their country by terrorist. I guess it is alright too make light of it.jord wrote:

So you're saying your country has been attacked out of the blue, when not in a state of war, by terrorists who killed over 3,000 people in a couple of hours?jord wrote:

Other than this, have a nice remembrance.
Yes I know it doesn't detract significance. See the part of what you said that I quoted. You're playing the same card that I've seen before, when things like that have happened to others and for some reason you don't think so.FEOS wrote:

Gee, you'd think that would've made the history books or something.
FFS...us remembering what happened to our country that day doesn't detract from anything that happened to yours. No more than you remembering a tragic event in your country detracts from our remembrance of 9/11. This isn't a zero-sum game.
Katrina raped New Orleans back in the day and many of your fellow countrymen cared shit about it (and it happened in your country), I find it hard to believe you will show respect to something that happened outside your country.FEOS wrote:
My original intended reply to the thread that got closed...but equally applicable here:

While I realize it means fuck-all to you and many of your fellow euros, we lost many, many good people that day.
If you had something similar happen to your country, I'd be willing to bet my fellow countrymen would show a bit more respect than you have today...not that you've set the "more respect" bar very high, mind you.
And people talk about the "ugly American"
I have no idea what you're talking about. I wasn't playing any cards. Did your country have something similar happen to it? Do US people on these boards demean it when you mention it?jord wrote:
