September 11th

[sawleaf]

Wow, it's September 11th again. Can't believe it has been 3 years already. I remember 9-11-01 clearly still. I was running around base locked and loaded, then loaded up on a plane to standby for a deployment. I'm sure everyone still remembers what they were doing that day. Does everyone remember the feeling in the air and the insane vibe that day?

[clevemire]

Shit it's that time again...

I was working with a contractor, putting up drywall in a house when an old woman next door came out and told us the news through the window. At first we didn't believe her and we just thought she was some old crazy lady. But of course, we found out quick that it was no lie....

I hate to think about this... I still remember watching all of the news reports that evening. It's painful.

[guerrilla farmer]

i'll never forget the sickening feeling i had in my stomach that day, followed by the most hate fueled aggression i've ever felt. may the gutless bastards that did that forever rot in hell. yeah you friggin' pricks, do you really think allah wants you to fly planes full of innocent civilians into buildings full of more innocent civilians? i'm pretty openly against war, but at that very moment, acting and thinking with pure emotion, i wanted to bomb that entire part of the world...guess that's why i'm not exactly presidential material.

sorry for venting...i'll fly my flag tomorrow and remember those that died and those that gave their lives trying to save complete strangers...that's the stuff that god/allah/jah or whoever, wants us to do.

yah man ahmen, i was sittin in class wen a buncha teachers came rushing in and started spreading the news, it was horrible i just sat there man, they dident deserve that, what happend that day was something straight from hell not from a god or whatever

[Dragonslayer4200]

[TheDirtyB]

i really dont like talkin about this. but i will. I heard some nasty comments (granted those were from the emotions), but i will leave you all to think about this.

its a song by the Black eyed peas - Where is the love

What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Badness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how angers works and operates
Nigga, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love

It just ain't the same, always unchanged
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace is so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With the ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin'
in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' our own direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

i remmber what I did... I came in from school - put the TV on (not sky, I turn that on after the TV turned on) and I see the incident on normal TV (1 2 3 4 5 - cant remember which one) I put sky on and put one of the "normal" channels on (for a better picture quality) and I was just sat there gob smacked :|

Yeh I can't believe 3 years have passed, heck I dont even remember talking about it the passed 2 years :s

[HvyFuel]

I was lucky(?) enough to be watching the news channel when the first report came on. Didn't move for the rest of the day, just sat transfixed and horrified. What makes a human capable of that? And I was angry at first. And I said 'nuke the fuckers, they deserve it'.

But my anger was replaced by a question I'm still trying to answer. Why?

" But my anger was replaced by a question I'm still trying to answer. Why? "

Because,those who were attacked in the twin towers,were viewed as infidels..and therefore,worthy of slaughter-at the hands of muslim jihadists..but their job is not done-if you're an infidel-then they mean to come for you..the question is..will you stand and fight-or will you surrender ?

[Button Basher]

I was at school. I got home and my brother said 'hey, some buildings fell down in America'!

That's about it!

[maryjanemama]

I remember the whole day clearly, I was in my bedroom making my bed and I heard the news on the radio. I felt chills and couldn't imagine what was going on. My husband called me, he was frantic, he almost came home from work. He called every 2 hours that day. On a personal note, my dad was lying in a hospital bed in Pittsburgh dying and I had just gotten out of detox. I felt like maybe it was the end of the world. Unfortunately, for a lot of ppl, it was their last day on Earth. The only good (if you can possibly call it that!) was how America united together. It took a terrible tragedy to bring us all together against evil. I only hope that the families who lost loved ones have found some sort of peace by now.

[dog420]

Wow 3 years have just shot past... that day was crazy theres not much stuff that shocks or surprises me these days but that day 11/9/01 shocked the hell out of me! Bless all thos who were killed that day and hope every terrorist goes to hell!!

I was in school passing between my first hour and second hour and I hear this really smart girl telling this other girl that the wtc buildings and the pentagon were hit by planes (there was a annoucement over the loudspeaker, but my 1st hour class was so noisy nobody heard it). I didn't understand what was going on at all, then I go to my 2nd hour class and a student turns on the news and the whole class watches for a few minutes until the teacher comes and turns it off says some words and we continued with class normally. In the rest of my classes for the day all we did was talk about it and watch the news reports.

We will never forget.

[KillaBuzz]

I remember what happened.

My second period class had just let out, and I was walking to the cafeteria to go get some milk, when a pretty good friend of mine came up to me and said "Dude, a jet just flew into one of the World Trade Center buildings." Naturally, I figured that he was joking, and tried to laugh it off. We went to the community room, and started watching the TV. Surely this must have been an accident? Did it run out of fuel, was it's tracking system off, what? They kept on showing the footage over and over and over again, and then I realized that this was no accident. Who would have done this? What kind of crazy SOB would attempt this? I clung onto the thought that perhaps it was just and accident, when they showed the second plane crashing through the second building. No doubt left in my mind, I was filled with an immense sadness.. and anger. Loads of anger. Then the fingers started to be pointed at everyone, and you know how the rest of the story goes.

Peace, Canniboids. I'll be praying for all of you in our time of need. :)

[Day Dreamin Faze]

Thank you And God Bless.

[Imotep]

Sad and shocking but I wasnt that surprised.
hey, more peole die long painful deaths each day that the U.S could help avoid but unless theres oil involved, they dont wanna know.
But lifes a bitch hey.

[GHoSToKeR]

i was lying in a hospital bed at the time, watchin the news.. the first plane had just hit.. i was gobsmacked, but it seemed like an accident, which is what most people thought.. so the shock and hurt was there because of the lives lost, but not the disbelief and the anger.. that hit me as soon as i saw the second plane hittin, live on tv.. i got home later that day and could hardly speak.. it was the other side of the world and it affected me badly.. peace to those who suffered at the hands of that tragic time...

[High phy]

When the war strated i said: "erase those muslims from the face of the earth!" damn i dont like hating people but on their countries those dudes kill jews on sight just because! damn, they proclame that the WWII holocaust didnt happened, that is a lie jews planted so they can take over the world (?). Damn, hey, i have nothing against freedom of cults, but when you start killing people i think you deserve to be killed.
