Am I the only person who doesn't care about 9/11?

Probably not, but you're the only one coming across as a jerk about it.

 

Same thing here (I was also 10 years old). But I can see you come from Japan (is that true though? There is Faux News in Japan?). I come from Canada, so we have in common the fact that we weren't affected personally, nor were we affected as a nation. I'm getting tired of hearing about it, but I understand that some people were touched very profoundly by this.

 

I was going to say ******* but jerk works.

 

Nah, I don't really care. Trust me, the dead people don't either.

 

You don't understand because your not from the US

 

Perhaps you'd like to trade with one of them so we can get their opinion?

 

I would never have the disrespect to say the same thing about hiroshima so please have the same respect. k thanks

 

You don't understand because your are not from the rest of the world...

 

No, Tomorrow will be the first day in years where I don't turn on the news. I normally watch CNN for background noise throughout the day, but won't tomorrow.

You wouldn't say that to the faces of a 9/11 family.

Real cute

 

Sure you would of cared if it was a friend/family who were burning to death, or jumping from the towers, or maybe who watched as they smashed in to the side of the towers, moments before they perished.

For someone who doesn't care about 9/11, you seem to be very willing to start a thread on the subject.

 

Turn it off then. Perfectly understandable. It's your lack of respect that turns me off.


There are many things people choose to remember, from holidays to anniversaries to traumatic news events. Many of us choose to be respectful and/or remember such an occasion. And clearly, some of us choose to be jerks about it.

 

Agreed. The coverage is over the top this year, but it is still an important event to remember.

 

If anything, I’m tired of the one sidedness of the coverage.

10 years ago, I had tremendous sympathy for the American people. Now, after a decade of watching America retaliate, that feeling has almost entirely been pushed aside by loathing. It was a terrible event the US suffered that day, but their answer has unfortunately become the greater crime.

I think your own ignorance is forgetting this statistic.

 

But none of my friends, family or acquaintances were there, as is the case for most Americans.

3,000 people died on that day, but it isn't something that we need to turn into a big ordeal every time a significant number of years passes.

I bet that if we ever get out of the middle east, the media will stop covering it so intensely.

 

Most people who don't care about issues others passionately care about choose to not act superior/hostile about it.

For example, if your parents both died in a car crash, and you created a thread here, would you appreciate it if I posted "and I care why?" in the thread? I mean, I really would have a hard time caring any more for your particular parents than any random two people who die in a car accident.

Just because you do not personally care does not mean that it is wrong to care.

 

So I'm still wondering for someone who doesn't care about 9/11, why did you make a thread?

Because that's exactly what you did with this thread

 

Why are there Atheist threads?
Not caring about the things that others care about is important to some people.

 

The fact that OP is moaning about people bringing up 9/11, and he's does exactly the same thing. Maybe I'm being a little stupid here? But I'm sure he's going against something he just said he didn't care about.

The word hypocrite comes to mind....

 

I will watch the ceremonies in the morning then turn off the news coverage. I will always remember what happened but I don't want to relive the day. To say you don't care at all about it is very ignorant. You can't hide from the fact that it happened. Sure the media coverage will be over the top but it is the 10th anniversary and maybe the most important since the first year.
