i don't care if you don't like America, or if you do.  In honor of the victims of Sept. 11th can you please wear red white and blue, or fit an American flag on you somewhere...or something (make a suggestion if you don't want to support america) to honor the victims of 9/11/01.

I was not really effected personally but mentally i am still having trouble accepting it.  So in a way none of my close family/friends died, but a piece of me did.

(and yes i am going to use your emoticon ghisy) :usa:

I was just watching a little bit of the special thats on the history channel and I still can't believe it. Our twin towers...gone within hours. And to think tha planes came from logan airport and big airport in massachusetts. Our own planes hitting our own buildings. It's unbelievable.




I'm wearing red,white,and blue all week. No matter what I ever say...this is my home and it's where I'm gonna say. I love you America!

[LimeTwister]

well one person responded...

I can't wear red white and blue, bc if I do, I'll be accused of racism

But someone(very special) did give me the American flag kinda bandana thingy, and I'm gonna put that up in my window...

It's hard to believe that was two years ago.

We have "a big hunk" of it (a 6 foot beam) outside of my school . . .

I'll probably end up sticking a pin through the loop of my ID card (we HAVE to wear it around our neck)

We don't have many options with a uniform . .. .

It was so weird when i went to America- so many flags flying EVERYWHERE.

Yes, i will remember people. And yes, i do know what an atrocity it was. But why isn't there a day to think about all of the thousands of people starving in Africa? Or the 400 people dying an hour of AIDS in South Africa? Or the thousands who died in Afghanistan in the war America waged? Or the people dying in Israel and Palestine?Think about that too, because it is equally important.

aids is preventable...

and we could have a day for that...but that wasn't the purpose of this thread...

i see what you're getting at though.

[Si]

Uhm,
isn't there an Aids-day..?

[sayyouwould]

I believe there is an aids day...but even if there isn't there is always those pins that you can wear and mtv always has specials about aids.

[rosieposy87]

aids is preventable...

Aids is most definetly not preventable Joey, and even the drugs that prolong life are not available because big western countries barely make these drugs affordable in the countries worst affected.  

And yeah, there may be an aids day but is there a day for any of those other things? What about the thousands of people killed in Northern Island fuelled by American money? The list could go on forvever.
