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?

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.
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.
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?

I thought not.

That statement was directed at the fucksticks who would make light of the events of that day. If you aren't one of them, it didn't apply to you.
We have had numerous attacks by Islamists and the Irish nationalists in the modern times, not to mention older events, thanks for asking. Not that I'm going to play the number game with people's lives and deaths and say "We got more killed cause x number of people died". I'm also not gonna to claim that nobody else knows what it's like to experience a terrorist attack on their home soil, because my knowledge of world events is half decent.

And what's making light of the event mean? I don't know that phrase, but if it's disrespecting or making fun of dead people I assume you I'm not. I'm making a point on a part of your post I didn't like. I've been here long enough for you to know I aint Rammunation and don't hate America cause it's cool.

Link or it didn't happen.  I want to see people falling from huge world landmark skyscrapers and debris fields that cover some of the countries largest cities.  I want to see jumbo jets with civilians being flown through buildings.

You are an asshat to think anything like that has happened in your lifetime, let alone the last decade.

9-11 was the largest terror attack on civilians in modern history.  It was also the most dramatic.

I'm not going to compare bombings in which civilians died. I'm not a complete fucking asshole. We're talking about lives, and believe it or not shit like this happens outside America.

No, exactly what you described hasn't happened in my lifetime... PIRA and IRA, go buy a book on them.

Please link me to where people said that nothing bad has ever happened outside of America.  I think you are confused.

Perhaps you should quit minimizing 9-11 since you are so high on not being an asshole about dead civilians.

Not an exact quote of "Nothing bad has happened outside America" but equally offensive. Especially to anyone who has directly affected by the MANY, and I mean many terrorist attacks outside the US.

Worst things have happened to countries decades ago that still affect them.  If time healed all, the US would've been over the 9/11 attacks (what am I saying, it was yesterday you people were over the Pearl Harbor attack, so I guess in 2058 it will all be over).

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"
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.

Your so wrong.


People don't get it. There are local entities that failed.

It is not the job of the federal government to arrange the immediant needs of New Orleans.

Americans don't like being victims, especially of surprise attacks.  It goes against our basic sense of fairplay and justice.  9/11 was the mass murder of close to 3,000 innocent civilians because a few extremists wanted to make a point.  If that does not piss you off, you ARE insensitive.

Seriously, what respectful person would make a thread about (fill in random trivia) on August 6th, in a predominantly Japanese forum?  How about talking about the importance of football records on 7/7 in the UK?  DO YOU REALIZE HOW THAT LOOKS?  It is terribly offensive, and yes, it is making light of a tragedy.

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.

Other than this, have a nice remembrance.
In the last hundred plus years the British have seen plenty of horrific events, primarily as the ones commiting the acts.

Overall nobody can deny that September 11th 2001 was a horrific event that should be remembered, but also that worse events have occured in recent times.

On an entirely different note, can someone in the NY area please go and kick the asses of whichever idiots are managing to completely fuck up the rebuilding of ground zero and the memorial site?

I find it all too easy to believe some of the posts on this thread, sadly.

I'm an Englishman who remembers with such terrible clarity the live pictures of 9/11 unfolding, the impacts, the collapses, the people leaping from hundreds of feet to escape the flames.

I remember, mourn and respect those whose lives were stolen from them that day and those who gave their lives in the service and rescue of others.

I spit on the ideologies of hatred and the memory of the perpetrators and on their apologists in the West and in the Islamic world.

On September 12th Le Monde ran a headline 'Today we are all Americans', unlike all too many irresolute and wilfully blind people all over the world I am still and will always remain 'an American'.
