N-E Cichlids;1122113; said:Funny how you only quoted a portion of his comment. Let me quote the rest.
"My thoughts are I have a paper due tonight at midnight which is 10 pages long and I am only on page two. I am wondering if I can fisnish it within the day."
What does that have to do with 9/11. Had he stated just the second portion, he would have been right on track.
N-E Cichlids;1121961; said:Easy for you to say you weren't attacked. Why is there always someone out to derail a thread especially one so sensitive to americans. Just shows the Moorons in the world.
I am not a fan of the politics in this country, but I love this great country and would give my life for it. The first thing that comes to most americans minds are the WTC and the Pentagon, but lets not forget the passengers of Flight 93 that stood up to those Bastards.
Oh Yeah Einstein if you quit surfing the forum and posting derailing comments you may finish your paper.
I had to man! Where is E-wurm at a time like this?

The tragedy of that day hit me hard for many reasons. It consumed my evenings by compelling me to watch the news and to become aware of the rest of the world... not just the one in front of my eyes. I changed my direction in college because of it, and nearly joined the marines. I am not in mourning today, just in remembrance. I am sorry to hear the bickering on this thread. The nature of this type of thread is not directed at literally expelling your thoughts about what you have to do today. This is not a laundry list. If today means nothing to you as a memorial day, keep your mouth shut and move on to the next thread. You will not be received well if you say you don't care about today, no matter what words you use to express it. I know that many many people will agree.

If you saw what kids think about the day you would preach the importance of this day... The students do not even want to say the pledge... It is time that people show the importance of this country... teach your children about this day, the importance...
