9/11

[houndawg]

I could swear we have a thread on this.



I was in my dorm room, it was my freshman yr. My suitemate came in and said we were under attack. I turned on the TV just as my phone rang and it was my dad asking if I had heard the news. We talked on the phone as the 2nd plane hit on live TV. I remember it for the same reasons as most but also because it was one of the few times I’ve ever heard my dad drop the F-bomb. He goes, “wow. Who ever did this is fucked.”

Like all of you, I was glued to the TV. I watched the towers fall and the hysteria all that day. The next day, me and a group of guy from my hall went to the Army and USMC recruiting stations to enlist.


To your 2nd Question- I think the 1st Responders get honored enough. I’m not sure about the level of care, but knowing our insurance industry, I’m positive they all got fucked.


As an aside- what are the rates of lung cancer in NYC following 9/11

I'm old enough to remember being threatened with benching for the rest of the season if I spiked the ball in the end zone.

You have this special way of making everything in the world seem fucked beyond belief.

Congrats.

Well, that's because I think that things have been pretty much all downhill since 9/11, planet-wide, and that things are getting worse. I notice you didn't argue with what I said, which is unusual in and of itself.

it doesn't do any good to try and have a rational discussion with you. I gave up on that a looooong time ago.

You sound like a curmudgeonly old white supremacist pining for the old days when colored folk knew their place and women were barefoot and pregnant.

Stop listening to the whack-a-doodles who are looking for reasons to be angry and take a look around. There are ups and downs but the world is getting smaller and better.

Lets turn the frown upside down!
