me: "no, today is a very special day!"

her: "uhhhh, labor day was last weekend..."

a fuckin' important day if you live in new york or have family/friends there. otherwise, it's a wholly arbitrary day you use to grandstand about your patriotism or search for some greater mystical/tribal meaning in the ruin of your wasted first-world life

Post by: Van Cruncheon on September 11, 2011, 11:03:03 AM
don't be specious. there are folks for whom 9/11 was important -- it made them feel like SOMETHING again, that as sort of self-assigned adjunct victims in a "national" tragedy, they became part of something mystical, something bigger than themselves and their useless obese dustbowl existences. and as ever with rubes, as soon as their maudlin yokelry is made public, there will also emerge snake oil mavens to take their time and dollar.

I honestly just want to forget about it.  Sad for those losts, but I was in the city at the time and I can see how some people would want to cope by just putting it behind them.  

I was reading the in paper that many New Yorkers feel the same, not attending memorial services and moving on with their lives.  Everyone copes with tragedy and grief differently.  Not everyone is the "Never Forget" type.

Yeah dude I'm pretty sure most people are just having a normal day today. Unless we get a national holiday out of it, most people aren't gonna care.

Yup.  This came up at work the other day and I said the same thing.  There are people making "NEVER FORGET" Facebook status updates, then going back to whatever nonsense it was that they were doing.

I posted about it on facebook and twitter, but I really didn't see it as a world changing event. Cause I'm sorry americans but the rest of the world thought it was a tragic moment but not the moment that defied a generation or anything.

It changed the US and affected everyone visiting. Anyone that has set foot in an airport is setting foot into a world changed by the events.

Alot more people died in other events in recent history that no one cares about in America, so I don't honestly care too much about the overportrayal and signifigigance of this holiday. However it is terrible people died, but more people died at Hotel Rolwanda and all they got is a movie staring some french

Oh trust me I understand how tragic it is and how it affected america, I'm not going to downplay that, and I'll never attempt to justify the deaths of thousands. What I am saying is that the rest of the world was not changed by these events, at least not in a major way.

Basically its awful, and I do feel for those who were affected and I do respect those who risked their lives to help(you've seen this on facebook I bet). But I do feel that a lot of people have sadly taking this tragic event and made it into more of "we americans will have revenge!" and excuses for war than the death of innocent lives. I was happy with Osama's death in that it might finally bring closure to those who were affected, and I'm glad to here that some are moving on. Cause lord knows some can't let go of Pearl Harbor.

Nah, the rest of the world was affected, since we made sure to kill 50-500 times more people in retaliation.

I pretty much had going through my head Krugman's post on this:

Quote from: http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/
The Years of Shame

Is it just me, or are the 9/11 commemorations oddly subdued?

Actually, I don’t think it’s me, and it’s not really that odd.

What happened after 9/11 — and I think even people on the right know this, whether they admit it or not — was deeply shameful. The atrocity should have been a unifying event, but instead it became a wedge issue. Fake heroes like Bernie Kerik, Rudy Giuliani, and, yes, George W. Bush raced to cash in on the horror. And then the attack was used to justify an unrelated war the neocons wanted to fight, for all the wrong reasons.

A lot of other people behaved badly. How many of our professional pundits — people who should have understood very well what was happening — took the easy way out, turning a blind eye to the corruption and lending their support to the hijacking of the atrocity?

The memory of 9/11 has been irrevocably poisoned; it has become an occasion for shame. And in its heart, the nation knows it.

I’m not going to allow comments on this post, for obvious reasons

in a recent interview with Ben Stiller, Zoolander came up. The whole World Trade Center controversy was brought up (for those that do not know, the World Trade Centers were erased from the film). He said this regarding the situation, "I honestly regret taking the Trade Center out, in reality, it was there when we shot it, and I feel very connected to New York. On the Blu-ray release, I'm going to put it back in because I really feel it was not the right call on my part."

the commentators during yesterday's tennis matches reminded me.  I'm not thrilled to be so aloof because it's slightly messed up that I remembered the 9th as Dreamcast's 12th anniversary and not this.  At least no one cares about Final Fantasy 8's anniversary.

if not then, someone would start a "where were you when it happened?" thing.  Then a "When were you when Osama died?"

bash the NFL for tribalism, praise UFC. :rofl

I haven't payed much attention to any of the 10 year anniversary stuff. Obviously 911 changed the country and world, in many ways for the worse. There's literally no way to "forget" 911 given its impact on everything from flying to the daily cost of wars. So I don't need the entire media reminding me not to forget, or dwelling on the past.

For a few minutes today I remembered back to how I felt on that day; my mom was in Chicago, heading for the Sears building and I remember semi-panicing after someone on the news mentioned the building as a potential threat. But after that I was back to thinking about football, school, and what I'm gonna eat tonight.

You can't mock the NFL and mention that you watch MMA in the same sentence. :lol

Careful now, Gundam.....

I'd love to get into mma but don't know when the fuck it comes on

who the fuck watches spike?

UFC is coming to Fox and FX starting in November.

And who the fuck needs to know when MMA "comes on"?  It's the internet age, himumumu.  You look up the popular fighters, you download and watch their previous fights to get acquainted and interested in them.  Upcoming fights come on PPV every month, and so you get a bunch of friends together and split the cost of the PPV, or go to a bar to watch it.

OH MY GOD, THAT'S SO FUCKING COMPLICATED

lazy. I'm going into this with the wrestling type of thinking. You watch every week and then they have a ppv once a month. so it'd be easier for me to get acquainted just by watching every week. but then every time i try to watch ufc, they have some stupid reality show thing on and I just can't give two fucks.

plus all my friends watch wrestling because they're feggits. not interested in ufc. but I'll research if it's FOR YOU, boogz.

I remember taking a break from homeschooling, walking upstairs and noticing no lawn care noise coming from outside. I figured maybe the onslaught of lawn care folks at various people's houses were taking a break, then I turned on the TV and saw the tower burning on every single channel.

I was 17, I had spare in the morning, and was working in my uncle's tobacco field for the harvest.  I finished the work in the morning and went home to get ready for school.  When I got home my mom called and said that terrorists had crashed planes into the Twin Towers.  I turned on the TV in time to see the first tower collapse.

I then rushed to school.  The school had just recently installed TVs in every classroom, so the whole school day was spent watching CNN.

her: "whaaaa...i'm not having sex at 6:30 with the kid up..."

me: "no, today is a very special day!"

her: "uhhhh, labor day was last weekend..."

me: "thank GOD *someone* forgot!"



I thought this was about the start of the NFL season. 

Prole doesn't like sports.

i'm not against sports: i watch mma and boxing from time to time. but national televised team sports? idiotic slow-moving pageantry for toads. the nfl isn't watchable by ANYONE with a functioning cerebral cortex. seriously, try and watch an nfl game independent of whatever stupid regional tribalism you tout like it matters (you underemployed fucks) -- it's barely and sporadically engaging like the dysentery shits, at BEST. and the dumb fucking chatter from the commentators? if you can endure that shit, i never EVER want to hear you mock george lopez again, because it really *is* the most inside tribal idiot humor and observation imaginable. fuck off, nfltards!


Agreed 100% with what you say about football.  I liked it as a kid because all my friends did.  Once I was old enough to think independently, I realize how fucking stupid it all is.  It's a dumb sport played by mostly dumbasses but commentators and fans analyze the shit out of everything and make it seem a lot more complicated than it really is.  Also, please STFU about how football is like going into battle.  

What's worse is that during football season, NCAA is in your face just as much as the NFL.  I don't get how so many people invest so much emotion into schools that they didn't even attend!   As much as I dislike the actual game, I'm 10x more annoyed by the whole culture of football.  People can't even give it a break during the off season because the're fucking sheeps that can't resist the forcefeeding from ESPN all year.

I wonder what Prole thinks about basketball.  My love for the sport has nothing to do with tribialism.  I don't have a favorite team but I hate the Lakers, my hometown team since forever.   It's the stunning athleticism and skills that entrance me.  I can watch a game as long as it's good basketball.

in other words you wish you were a distinguished black fellow

how does it feel to watch basketball, smooth? watching those tight, smooth dark muscles vibrate before grabbing a rebound? do you get sweaty when you see a team run a good pick and roll? do you try to see the creases of their third legs when they do a slam dunk?

Which is exactly why I thought it was about the start of the NFL season.  The conversation is just as apt.  I guess it would require Prole to actually have knowledge of what made today really special, however.

Sup T, how's UK looking?  Duke looked strong on that China roadtrip, always fun to get an early start to the season.

I saw that Duke in China game, you guys looked good. UK seems young but vicious, gonna be a goddamn good season all around for the NCAA Bluebloods.

if not then, someone would start a "where were you when it happened?" thing.  Then a "When were you when Osama died?"

basketball's watchable -- the athleticism is on parade even if the showboating grows old in in the nba. since we lost the sonics it's never on in the bars here, which is the only way i'll watch sports on teevee.

Even if sports weren't televised, they wouldn't show Simon and Simon reruns, unfortunately. It would just make room for more brain-dead reality TV shows and NCIS/CSI/Law & Order spinoffs.

I remember, I think I was talking to my sister on the phone when the first news hit. It was entirely unclear what had happened, so I assumed someone had mistakenly plowed a Cessna into the tower, and everyone was up in arms about nothing.  :-\ While we were talking, the second plane hit, and I began to realize that something major was going on.

Wrath2X, you said it didn't affect the rest of the world, or wasn't really a changing point for the rest of the world. I'd argue that the viewpoint is very short-sighted. With 9/11, a host of personal freedoms were curtailed in the USA and a vast amount of additional resources were dumped into the military-industrial complex. The decade of military adventuring which has ensued has had a direct affect on many places in the world, and I'm certain that this change in policy for the country with the world's largest military budget has had an indirect affect on the entire world.
