Should the title of this thread not be changed? Seems a little insensitive.

Celebration of the life would be more appropriate because it's not like we're celebrating they're dead.

Here's an interesting article I came across this afternoon, which highlights the importance of the events of 11/09/01, and their regular invocation, to the american regime's ability to continue to prosecute it's violent and illegal geopolitical agenda.

"From a terror management perspective," they wrote, "the United States' electorate was exposed to a wide-ranging multidimensional mortality salience induction."

i take it the terrorists aren't included in this 'celebration of those who died'????

we do seem a bit obsessed with one minute silences/noises and anniversaries.

Well, in the words of the Barracudas, "We're Living in Violent Times."

or the words of neil young 'living with war' but we always have done i suppose.

I just inadvertently observed a 27 minute silence.

Observing a silence for 11/09/01 only serves the purpose of strengthening Amer Al Queda martyrdom and all that

I have my own theory that it was an attempt by the USA Government to convert the date format of all non-conforming countries

Next terror attack to change GMT to USA based world time standard

someone (an American) once explained to me the idea behind the American date system thingy ma boab.

"no man, you do it month / day / year cos when speaking out loud you say "September the 11th, 2001". You don't say "11th September 2001".
"But you could say "11th of September 2001"
"Ahhh, but you're adding an 'Of'"
"You added a 'The'"
"....."
