Some could show more class... especially considering there are some posters here who lost people close to them in this attack.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

"What the hell does that mean?"

It's been two years, and so far there's been no overt Clash of Civilizations (not in the traditional sense).
But my mother thinks that history will remember that World War III started on September 11, 2001. Sorry if that frightens you guys.Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.

9/11 changed us in that we realized we are all in this together and we are all vulnerable. It kindled that age old American spirit of wanting to overcome adversity and it gave us a sense of common purpose.
Troll about politics, politicians, and policy if you must.

It changed me temporarily.
But all the extreme views on this forum has gotten me back to hating the U.S. again
It has also desensitized me in a way. I don't think I'll have nearly the reaction I did 2 years ago if another major terrorist attack happens.

It wasn't just an American tragedy guys...
-it hasn't changed me personally, just like all the mass slaughter in Africa or child slave labour in the world doesn't change me personally.
In the past decade, millions of Congolese have died due to the civil wars there, including starvation, epidemics and so forth as a result of those wars of course...
it seems to me as: either that everybody is equal on this earth, but an american is more equal than an african.. or the good old 'one death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic' ..."An archaeologist is the best husband a women can have; the older she gets, the more interested he is in her." - Agatha Christie
