AlbqOwl said:Sunday is the Fourth anniversary. Do you remember where you were and what you were doing on 9/11? What was going through your mind?
For a compelling summary of that day, the slide show at this site may take a bit to load, but it is a poignant reminder:

Exactly. There seems to be this "let's move on" mentality. We can move on after everyone who shares that type of philosophy is buried.teacher said:Too many seem to forget this.
Hey, you didn't say anything about Iraq!Originally posted by cnredd:
To put it bluntly...I was asleep...
I work overnight, so I came home and was asleep by 9AM...woke up around 2:30PM and found out while switching channels.
I became of of those people that spent the next two weeks on the couch with empty soda cans and potato chip bags all around me...
I have Howard Stern's program from that day...I play it every so often as a reminder of the emotions from that day...
"...Nunchaka..." are illegal!Originally posted by teacher:
I explained to him that if you could paradrop me on those that did this with nothing but my Nunchaka I'm there.
At that time, I did as well.cnredd said:To put it bluntly...I was asleep...

Did you know anyone that was in the towers?I became of of those people that spent the next two weeks on the couch with empty soda cans and potato chip bags all around me...

What is your "...point of view..."?Originally posted by Vauge:
Soon, I realized that no-one cared or listened to my point of view - unless they agree'd.

Did that affect the way you view politics?
That day sparked in me the realization that I wanted to discuss this with someone I didn't know and get their take. IRC, was NOT the place to be that day or even the next few weeks. I signed up in dozens of political forums over the next few months. Soon, I realized that no-one cared or listened to my point of view - unless they agree'd.
In a very weird direction of events, that I why I am here. I don't want to do the couch potatoe thing when events happen. Would much rather discuss them.
Nope.vauge said:Did you know anyone that was in the towers?
In solidified my previous-held perceptions...I've always favored National & International politics...I haven't watched local news in years, but I've watched national news every day since 9/11. Philly didn't have FoxNews until right after 9/11...I don't know if Comcast already had it in the works or if that tragedy made it available...vauge said:Did that affect the way you view politics?
I say that "tongue-in-cheek"...Just saying that when I was home, all attention was directed in one place...cnredd said:I became of of those people that spent the next two weeks on the couch with empty soda cans and potato chip bags all around me...
I live in Philly...not a big Conservative town, to say the least...vauge said:That day sparked in me the realization that I wanted to discuss this with someone I didn't know and get their take.

It didn't matter, if I weren't in the "in circle" of the forum groups - my opinion didn't count. Same with IRC.Billo_Really said:What is your "...point of view..."?
I can't remember who made that link - but we got DOZENS of hits that day from that site. The web stats went crazy, so I clicked on it to find out who the culprit was. The link had been removed and whomever put it up there got spanked for linking to a "stupid" forum or something like that.cnredd said:I wasn't big on forums until last year..I was looking for info on F9/11 and came across moorewatch.com...I was a daily contributor there until someone linked something to here(Now you know where to direct your blame!:2wave
I was reading the Poll - Michael Moore - liberator or slanderer- when I realized that this forum had much more to offer in terms of subject matter than the narrowly defined forum I was on...so i switched...
Downhill ever since!:lol:
I could careless about "in circles". I've spent my whole life outside these circles by choice. It would be nice if you just answered the question.Originally posted by Vauge:

It would be equally nice if you realized that I was talking in context rather than absolutes about forums & IRC.Billo_Really said:I could careless about "in circles". I've spent my whole life outside these circles by choice. It would be nice if you just answered the question.
I think you just told me.Originally posted by Vauge:

What exactly about my opinion of 911 would you like to know?

Memory can stick both ways.
