9/11: Overrated and Drawn out?

[LoZelda101]

Not a single person justified all these years of crying and mourning over the lives lost in 9/11. All the events that memorialize it are in vain. It happened 15 years ago, our youth doesn't care anymore. I would rather mourn a paper cut for nearly two decades than spend a single second crying about 3000 people that are LONG gone. 9/11 isn't a severe disaster on ANY level. There is a difference between it waking us up to the threat of terrorism, and people being super sensitive about it for all these years. If one of my loved ones died I would've been over it after a couple years. 9/11 victims are pretentious people who take american's niceness for granted. We don't need to have public events and a special day for it. There are people getting their heads cut off by ISIS, people starving in Africa, etc.

It's probably the least gruesome disaster, it's overrated. And it's pointless. I'd tell a army vet and a 9/11 survivor that to their face!

lolz that's not true. 9/11 was so alarming it temporary united us all instead of fighting each other over trivial stuff like racism or wealthy status.

I used to feel the same way while disregarding those who died and mourn for those whom died.

However, after seeing how our government screw over those who helped and used 9/11 to start war - and interfering in the Midde East - I like that we are reminded.

9/11 is tomorrow. It wasn't even that big of a deal. I understand people died but it wasn't nearly as bad as people make it seem.
According to google these are the puny stats of how many people died
"The September 11 attacks killed 2,996 people and injured more than 6,000 others."

That is nothing worth mourning for over 10 years. And it doesn't deserve a day of recognition either. Imagine how Japanese feel after the Japanese Tsunami in 2011? That killed like 15 thousand people. They have a right to cry and mourn.
9/11 is one of the most overrated events in American history next to the Titanic!

The 1931 China floods killed 1-4 million people but they aren't crying about it.

EDIT: Look at all these butthurts people disliking this video cause it made fun of 9/11

Look kid, just because you can voice your politically incorrect opinion doesn't mean you should especially on this touchy subject.

Two of the biggest towers in the U.S. collapsed and killed thousands of people due to a terrorist attack. The debris residue also killed people (mostly rescue crew) from inhaling it and the government did not go out of their way to really help these people get treatment, even though they're considered modern day heroes. Also with the amount of money we pour into the military and the assurances from our government, for something like this to happen is really quite daunting.

The world's superpower faced its biggest terror attack and you're saying it's overrated? The consequences from that attack have affected our lives so significantly that the rise of ISIS was a direct link from that attack, due to the U.S invading Iraq. That is only one example.

Not only that, but the attack itself is incredibly controversial as in the 28 redacted pages from the 9/11 report released by the congress, evidence shows that Saudi Arabia funded Jihadists groups, such as Al Qaeda for that attack. Yet there were no repercussions faced and the U.S. still considers Saudi Arabia one of its biggest allies against terror and are currently leading at the head of the human rights panel, even though they literally behead people for witchcraft and are one of the world's worst human rights offenders.

So that raises questions and the rabbit hole keeps getting deeper and deeper.


You can't lump natural disasters in the same category as acts of war or terror. Even still, you make it sound as if people can't morn more than one catastrophe.....

People still to this day talk about events such as the Hurricane Katrina or the Dust Bowl if we're going back even further.

PS: China still talks about the countless death during Mao Zedong's regime and the massacre at Tianmen Square. Japan still remembers the Hiroshima bombings......

So there goes your point.

You know this world has become truly pitiful when we start arguing over which tragedy is worse and which is more important to celebrate.

Its because its america, but i completely agree with you

 

[Olorin]

9/11 profoundly changed teh western world and in this millennium there has not yet been an event that changed the way we in the western world live more than 9/11

 

[BLAZE]

how about you stay in nds and damage the brain cells of brain dead trolls there

 

[Ambivalence]

It's an American memorial day. Nobody outside of that country cares more about that than they care about all the other mass-killing events that have happened throughout the globe. America =/= the world, but demanding that country's people stop mourning their own loss is dumb.

 

[Wabbit]

centuries ago it was not big deal 100 people died on some disease but it will be now. Especially something like that happens in first world where ppl are comfily living.

[WalksInShadows]

the ppl who actually lost friends and family members on that day have every right to dwell on it, but everybody else needs to move on already.

Both countries have the right to mourn their losses. I think you're just retarded. Not your fault though, life fu*ks all of us in one way or another.

 

[Meekz89]

I'm a legal adult why does it matter?

It has more to do than just lives lost. On that day Wall Street was at a stand still, meaning no money was being made. 9/11 was the reason the economy crumbled. Plus it was one of the most successful terror attacks in the US

At this point I can only imagine you go take a piss or a dump on the graves of your deceased family members once in a while if you even bother to visit their graves at all a couple of days after they died.

You might call the whole 9/11 tragedy a bit drawn out, but that's how Americans are. They always do stuff like this in a rather pompous and bombastic way. But in the end we simply live in age of remembrance and commemoration and if you think this is normal, it isn't. In fact many of the events we commemorate date from the 19th-21st century and even if they don't, their commemoration cults often were installed during these centuries and it happens on all levels: rural, local, national, international... Our current society simply likes to remember stuff. So saying that it's drawn out, well compared to how we are commemorating vigorously events that are much older, it can be way more excessive than it currently is.

That it's overrated however, is flat-out impossible. You can't overrate this, that's simply not possible as therefor its influence is far too great. You reduced 9/11 to just the amount of victims, which means you are completely ignorant to the world-wide implications this event had. On itself it was already a tragedy outside category because we could see live on television an airplane flying into an iconic building located in the most iconic city of the strongest country in the world. In a broader perspective however it had a tremendous amount of influence on the world-wide politics, economics and even culture and society got affected by it. Have you any idea to which degree 9/11 actually had an impact on the world? Google was originally one amongst many search robots, but its popularity skyrocketed after the attacks as it was only one who could keep up with all the search requests as people started to search en mass for information about 9/11. Originally people thought that the end of paper was near and that all information would be completely electronic...until they realized that they lost all their electronic data in the WTC towers while paper could still be salvaged. They had to change their entire perception on how to deal and save information. These are just two of countless examples that stretch over a variety of fields.

9/11 was such an iconic event that it's very well possible that historians in the future will determine that it was so influential that they will consider it as an end-of-an-era event. Meaning it would have the same status as the Fall of Rome, the discovery of America, the French Revolution and WW II. Logically for the people personally involved this is just a way of mourning, just like anyone ever mourned a lost loved one. Unlike you however the average human is not an emotionless void that immediately gets over a tragedy and even they got over their loss after a while, that doesn't mean they can't mourn anymore. Even a 100 years after WW I people still remember family members, that they never met, just because they died during such a gruesome war.

But apparently you can't look passed a mere number. It seems this matter simply goes above your head.

Shit overrated if you ask me. America dropped a bomb and killed over 150k innocent people but we got to go through this 911 bs when terrorist(American government) kills about 3000 people.

That happened during WW II and by default because it happened during a war, people will look at it differently. The context in which such events occur defines how we will remember it. Japan had pretty much lost already but they refused to give in and had the intention to fight to the very last man and that included their entire nation's population. On top of which the Japanese soldiers hadn't been acting that respectful either in the territories they conquered and let us not forget Pearl Harbor. Not to mention Japan very well remembers the atomic bombs, so this a completely mute and nonsensical point you are trying to make here.

Don't understand why my post was deleted, so I'll ask again: Why are people taking this thread seriously? Especially in 2016, where we should be able to detect trolling right away. What are y'all doing?

 

[Guntah]

9/11 is as important as it is because it happened in the US. Gotta wonder what would've happened had it gone down elsewhere...
