"Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)"
Where were you when they built the ladder to heaven?
Did it make you feel like cryin'
Or did you think it was kinda gay?
Well I, for one, believe in the ladder to heaven.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah...9/11.
I said 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, Ni-hi, hi-hine...
...Eleven
--South park; Alan Jackson
-.- people are still talking about this.
Its done with, get over it. It kinda pisses me off that some fags can hijack a plane and get this big of a reaction from it. Don't give them the satisfaction of glorifying it in anyway. I guess I just see them as more of punk-wannabe terrorists then anyone who has actually accomplished something worthy of having a big deal made of it.
People are still talking about this is all you can say? How about not being such a dick and feel for other people who lost family and loved ones. ANd it is a major thing and should never be forgotten.
Simply remembering the victms of the attack is something we should get over? People lost parents, siblings, friends and family, and they're not just going to forget them like that. Telling them they should just stop caring because it was 5 years ago is just insensitive and cruel.Quote:

I actually feel hurt by some of the comments that were made.....:mad:
Well I, for one, send my condolences to all of the families and all of the people who lost their loved ones that day. To me, it is something we definitely should not forget.
Heres an awesome song that Alan Jackson wrote right after the attacks. its so beautiful if u can d/l it.
Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?
Were you in the yard with your wife and children?
Or working on some stage in LA?
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of
That black smoke rising against that blue sky?
Did you shout out in anger
In fear for your neighbor?
Or did you just sit down and cry?
Did you weep for the children
Who lost their dear loved ones
And pray for the ones who don't know?
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
And sob for the ones left below?
Did you burst out with pride
For the red white and blue
And the heroes who died just doing what they do?
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
And look at yourself and what really matters
I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you
The difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, Hope and Love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is Love
Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?
Teaching a class full of innocent children?
Or driving down some cold interstate?
Did you feel guilty cause you're a survivor?
In a crowded room did you feel alone?
Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her?
Did you dust off that Bible at home?
Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened?
Close your eyes and not go to sleep?
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages?
Speak with some stranger on the street?
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow?
Go out and buy you a gun?
Did you turn off that violent home movie you're watching
And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns?
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers?
Stand in line and give your own blood?
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family?
Thank God you had somebody to love
I'm just a singer of simple songs

My heartbreaks everytime I think about that day. Its the only day besides the birth of my kids that i can remember every detail that happened. I know exactly what i did that day and everything i felt. It still is amazing that 5 years later everytime i watch it on T.V. it feels the same all over again. I dont know if out country will ever be the same after it, but it would be nice if we could all come together and remember it on the 11th day of september!! w
my thoughts to those who died n those familys who lost them
An attack on innocent civilians is wrong not matter who does it.
That day was shocking and sickening to say the least my heart
goes out to all the people who lost loved ones on that day.
it's 9/10 here still
