How did I forget I feel bad I should off had a 2 min silence

Well, there are more pressing current affairs to deal with, really.

The more 9/11 fades from the collective memory of the States, the better off the country will be, IMO. Raw anger is not a good starting point for foriegn or domestic policy.

Though saying that it was a HELL of a day for the US, no matter what perspective you look at it from.

Such a sad, sad day for so many reasons.

Life goes on.

Ste

Life goes on are you joking ?

You've been touched by his noodly appendage too, Ste? Where will it all end???


az

No, he's not joking LW - he's a biologist.


az

Not meaning to say that biologists can't joke, just that for them 'life goes on' in many more ways than most of us are aware of.


az

"Life goes on are you joking ?"

No I'm not. Is that a particularly English saying ro something?

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. It was a horrific event, just as Katrina was. But people have to get on with their lives and not dwell.

Ste

PS Az, I have, yes, RAmen

Well I was totally moved by the whole thing it entred my soal many Britains died during those attacks. I will mark it with silent thought tonight.

I know what 'life goes on' means I am British myself

I feel you should of left that bit off.

Not forgeting the brave police NYPD, FDNY firefighters and EMTs killed helping to save people

'life goes on'

Indeed. Well, what else can you do? Just give up and crawl into the corner...?

I agree it has to go on but it is a bit heartless and a sweeping staitement

Life does indeed go on - it's my mate's birthday today.

Happy Birthday to your friend but don't forget those children that wont celebrate mummy or daddies birthday ever again.

This may sound heartless but I can only say to you what I said to people who were offended by my not being upset about Princess Diana's death. Kids lose their parents all the time. Car crashes, murders. It's happening now. I can't get upset or grieve about every nasty event in this cruel world. There comes a point where you have to be selfish and carry on with your own life.

True but others may not see it that way a little tact goes a long way.

Yes but reminding ones self of how the cruel the wold can be from time to time.helps us remain calm and considerate towards our fellow human being.

Agreed BB
