It's been 6 years

[FakeBoobsRule]

It's been 6 years since the 9/11 attacks but sometimes it feels like it was just yesterday.

[BobBong]

What can change in 6 years... wow...

I can still remember the day like it was yesterday as well. Strange how you don't forget things like this. Even if it didn't affect you personally it still holds a distinct meaning to you.

The question is, what have we learned since then?

[higher4hockey]

what have we learned? i've learned that there are still some people that are willing to stand up and serve their country. but that there are also a lot of people that are just talk.

[geonagual]

and to think, it has only cost america a gazillion dollars since then..to try and retaliate.

[HighTillIDie]

i remember it like it was yesterday... i was up from 5 that morning till about 3 the next... those were freaky days, were they not?

[cannabis campbell]

Wow that went by so fast I remember when it happened when I was in highschool it really doesnt seem that long ago RIP to all the victims who lost their lives in the attack :(.

[rguitar87]

Jeez...I was just a freshmen in highschool and now I've been graduated for over two years. Time flies!

[happiestmferoutthere]

:( ..

[Weedhound]

One of those moments you always remember.....when you first heard about it. This is a very good question......What HAVE we learned?

[psychocat]

I guess the biggest thing was the realisation that the US was fooling itself to believe they were untouchable.

[Dutch Pimp]

What HAVE we learned?
..that there will ALWAYS be.."Barbarians at the Gate"

[Nation_1ne]

Like others have said, time flies. I remember strolling through the front door to find my parents watching the TV and seeming disorientated. I asked what was up and they explained to me what had happened. I couldn't quite understand at first how it could have happened. That happened six years ago.....

I wish none of it had happened, it has made our nations very insecure. Plus the amount of deaths due to this conflict is rather disturbing. So R.I.P, but not just for those who died on 9/11, but for all of the people who have died because of 9/11.

[friendowl]

i was smoking bong hits before work and was watching the news like always
i couldnt believe what i was seeing.so many people died so quick
i look at things from all kinds of ways
so sad that so many people died
and also..what strategy on the part of bin laden.
they really do believe in their fight and that is respectable
that one day changed america forever and not in a better way

[Mr. Bubbles]

I was in science class. First period. Our teacher came in all flustered and upset. He didn't say anything to us, he just dimmed the lights and turned it to our local news. Everyone started gasping as we all realized we had been attacked by somebody. Some people had family up there. Quite the thing to tune in to in the morning.

[chisme]

yeah i remember i was in school over here in the uk one the day after it happend, i mean stangly enougth i kinda had a largish emotional effect on us in britain too , but yeah doesnt seem like it happend that long ago

[slipknotpsycho]

yup i still remember it clearly too... me and the wife called up a friend to bug him to come over like we always did and he told us to turn on CNN... and then the wife started freaking the hell out....

she has a tendancy to over-react

[The Colonel]

I remember it like it was yesterday,, and today someone called in a bomb threat at my highschool, so we had to stand out in the rain for 3 hours before they released us.

wow... what a dick.

[Markass]

Rip to the 9/11 victims a families destroyed by those events..

And rip to those soldiers and the soldier's families, and children who will never know who their daddies or mommies are, whose lives have been lost in Iraq fighting to well, what started in Afghanistan to find Osama Bin Laden...

rip to those young men and women of our nation yet to lose their lives in Iraq...

I wish they would hurry up and end this stupid war, myself...maybe something we've learned is strengthen homeland security..which should involve our military being in the homeland or something..

[make it legal]

I was in sixth grade. As I remember it, I think it was after lunch when they called us out of our classes and back to our homeroom. I remember them say "There have been a number of plane crashes today." That's it. They told us that about four or five plane crashes had happened that morning. They said it would be a day to be remembered. Then they sent us back to class. I was shocked when I got home and I saw my mom freaking out watching the news, and I saw what really happened.

It really does feel like not long ago at all.

[smokerofweed420]

I too remember it like it was yesterday. I was in school at the time. I remember a ton of kids left school. Their parents were freaking out and took their kids outta school. I was trying to figure out wtf was going on. I remember my english was being so retarded. She told us that a plane had crashed into not only the wtc, but the white house as well. For some reason I remember thinking about all the documents that would be burned if it crashed into the white house. I can't believe it was 6 years ago. To think, theres kids running around who werent around before the 9/11 attacks. Its crazy to think about. God Bless everyone affected by 9/11.

[ganjzilla]

it feels like so long ago and yet yesterday at the same time thats weird...

[rebgirl420]

Yeah its pretty screwed up. I dont think it got the attention today that it should have. Im proud that my brother was a marine in Afghanistan right after it happened. Much respect to all those who died and those who will to fight for our country.

I was in the cath lab and a nurse came in and told us. We were working patients back to back through there that morning and couldn't get free to watch the news developments. We got three updates from the news nurse. Then someone had the idea to tune into news radio on the stereo. Unbelievable that that could happen in our country, somehow. It made me want to touch base with my wife, who was at home that morning, and my son, who saw it unfold at high school.

My heartfelt sympathies and respect to all those who lost loved ones and to all those who've sacrificed loved ones, both still living and dead, to the war since then. I hope we can get some of those brave military people safely home sooner than later, but I don't see how.

That was the same way I heard about it


, i mean stangly enougth i kinda had a largish emotional effect on us in britain too

I could believe it, cause im sure you in Britain didnt expect us Americans to be attacked like that, and Im sure many of you believed that the same could happen to you. Although, you dont piss off as many people as the US, but still.

Id also like to point out that I feel this day should be a national holiday in the US, a day celebrating a man who cause deaths to millions of natives, a holiday based on religion that not even all of the country follow. I think this day would be a much more deserving day. Millions of americans where affected, and Im sure you all know someone who was affected.

[rebgirl420]

^it is a national holiday, Patriot Day actually

[bluntblaze]

what have we learned since then?

religion is a really bad thing
and/or
dont trust your government.

rip to all the victims:(

[MadSativa]

I will never forget

[ReUp]

I was in Thailand. People kind of shrugged it off over there. I didn't think it was a big deal until I came back to the states.
