No thread?

I think I can speak for every american poster here. Liberal, Conservative. Atheist, Religious. Patriotic, Not so much. Crazy, Sane.

We are sick of hearing about it.

i haven't heard yet where my mailman was on 9/11. i need to know how he felt.

I'm sorry to hear that, Skitch.

Nothing to be sorry about. Media over saturation is not your fault.

I just remember how The Rising help me get through this.

So it only took ten years to become jaded on this subject?

Seeing the mass tv/radio/newspaper/internet attention this gets..feels awkward.
They were terrible yes.. but... imagine we'd have ten year anniversary weeks for every big terror attack:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ba ... st_attacks
busy busy busy, but we don't cause they mostly weren't in the US
past is the past people c'mon, live now.

Glad to see the sentiment here on RM is a bit more down to earth.

oh and...this line on the terrorist attacks wiki page made me laugh a little:

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

I was obsessed in high school. Then after United 93 it became borderline disgusting for me. My brother was watching people tell their horror stories on tv last night and I put on my headphones and came on here. It's not shying away from reality, it's just being, as you said, sick of it all.

think i'll play several rounds of jenga to commemorate this anniversary

that's fucked up, doks.

Thats awesome.

I got the fever for a feature,
A new target for a campaign speech
And a couple cents off at the pump tonight

i watched a few clips from the telethon on YouTube (dave, eddie, tom petty).
wrote my buddy who's "in the shit" in Afghanistan.

that's as reflective as I'll get.

I laughed...and then stole the joke for twitter.

I hope this 9-11 thing doesn't get in the way of football.

retweeted.

i am thinking about reading one of the books (the looming tower probably).

hmm, i don't think jaded is quite right - but my boyfriend did say something that seems fairly accurate - he said that this country loves to 'celebrate' tragedy...
that's a good summation to me.
