I don’t think you understand what he’s saying.

At work we went out at 6am and lowered the flag to half mast and had a moment of silence and talked about where we were on that day. Oil and Gas baws remembered.

We would have absolutely discussed it at work, but we happen to have a hurricane about to slam into us.

I completely understand the folks in LA being preoccupied with a hurricane.

it was just a funny part of a super funny post. like the part about how the media is now downplaying the events of that day to protect muslims lmao
So no true answer except for shifting to a “lmao” after I have been asking about comments with your lols. Are you a female or do you identify as a female? You use more lols and lmaos off as your main reply than any straight guy I have ever seen. It’s weird.
It’s awful that you think the fading remembrance of 9-11 today and the threat of muslims who hate this country are so funny. You must be a New Mexico State Aggie not a Texas A&M Aggie.
Below is an exact quote of the post you deem to be a “super funny post” which also includes the part you misquoted just now.
quote:
But yet we are expected by some to focus on things from even further back like slavery and slave owners generations ago (accept for Harris’s family) as some debt white people have to keep repaying.
Anyway I don’t think the exact same impact as those who experienced 9-11 at the time is what is being expected in this thread. OP mentions many students not even talking about 9-11 and the ROTC not doing anything. Maybe community events at fire stations is unrealistic to keep happening as firemen have turned over, but it not being a focus in schools or with ROTC students is a joke.
These kids’ parents likely were alive on 9-11 (along with most teachers). We are told by the left too much of a focus on 9-11 makes muslims fearful. That has been a big part of it being downplayed in the media which would include media viewed by adults of the age who would remember that day and not just current students.
I did see a picture posted today of a fire truck crossing one of the bridges to help at the towers, and it was likely their last picture as all of them perished trying to save others on 9-11. Exact same impact? Again no and not point, but that picture and day should mean more than it currently does.
It’s just very weird that you would find the entire post to be a “super funny post” along with misquotes and “lmao”. Weird.

quote:I remember leaving our apartment complex on the first anniversary and management was by the gates offering stickers and small flags. Today there's been nothing. NYC TV aired the ceremonies. The rest of the nation got the same reruns that have been aired on smaller and smaller networks as the years pass. It's nearly been relegated to the same treatment as D-Day and Pearl Harbor. I hope the 25th anniversary brings attention to it but I remember the same anniversary of the JFK assassination went by and it was barely noticed.
We used to do community events with the nearest fire station. It’s all slowly died away. I’m afraid we are once again doomed to have history repeat itself.
Speaking to the day, I am thankful the prevalence of smartphones hasn't occurred. I can't begin to imagine what that hour would have been like just knowing that it was a matter of time. The only people who had to deal with those final moments were on the planes. It's been 23 years and the only thing that's changed from the day's origins is OBL being turned into shark food.

Remember when everyone wore these? Stores and banks gave them away free. I don't think I've seen them in decades now.

Most of them know it wasn’t. but they use it to their their advantage m.

As someone who was born after 9-11 I will say I didn’t even realize that it was 9-11 until I saw this thread. I feel like for my generation the importance of this day doesn’t really resonate with us as we don’t have that where were you moment watching it in real time.
Posted on 9/11/24 at 10:39 pm to TexasTiger08
Tried to watch some 9/11 stuff tonight on TV but couldn’t find a single channel showing anything on it. The MTV awards were on 12 different channels though. It made me sad and a little angry about the state of our country currently.

People move on brah. It has happened with every tragedy. In the book of human history, 9/11 wouldn't take up more than a paragraph.

History Channel had programs on 9/11 tonight.

as a sort of example for our generation, I can't even remember the date of pearl harbor day and when it does occur it's more like a passing blurb on the news I barely register.
Jesus man, that’s fricking pathetic.

60 Minutes had an entire episode Sunday night dedicated to interviewing the firemen and other responders who were there that day.
I had seen similar interviews with them before, but I watched again because those guys won't be around forever.
That doesn't mean 9-11 is forgotten. School kids on November 22, 1986 likely didn't sit around, 23 years after the JFK assassination, and talk at school about it being the anniversary. They knew and know about it, but the anniversary day itself wouldn't be a big deal. Same for the moon landing, D-Day, etc.

Constant news cycle.
There is always the next thing now.
MSM is about conditioning the gen pop for acceptance. They are all in on “the world is going to end” if we don’t “take up the guns”, “quit using gasoline”, “stop eating meat”, and on and on.
On the other side, conspiracy theories keep turning out to be the truth. The events of 9/11 were tragic, but they were leveraged to “make us safe” with the surveillance state and to ramp up weapon production. We are addicted to endless wars.

Well to be fair none of your students were alive then so don't truly understand the importance of that day. They hear about it, but never lived in a pre 9/11 world and never experienced the shock as it unfolded

A generation born before September 11 are coming into their teens and twenties, entering adulthood. Part of a generation born between, say 2001 and 1995 have little or no memories of it.
That's why it's important to preserve the history and continue teaching, so no one will ever forget.

This is a safe bet thanks to a wide open border and a DOJ who is laser focused on investigating parents at school board meetings instead of potential terrorists. Crazy times!
