All the other countries could care less about other countries having 3000 people killed. They just go about there lives, and whats sad, is they can laugh about it. Im sure if your family died right now noone would laugh, unless your a relative of Bilbo who finds comedy in death. And if your sick of these thread you dont have to read them.

No other country could care less? Whole Europe has been memorized this tragedy. Ill get flamed, again, for this remark; but usa is the country who doesn't give a rats arse about other countries. Govements, sportsevents, documentries, news... all mayor things is europe have remarked 911. Did you, as an american, know Europe was (is still actually: france for example) flooded; and im not talking about 1 drop of water or 1 death? Or the massive earthquake in Russia? Come on, a bit more respect please. The world has shown we care; eventhough usa is #1 hated country

Best regards.

As I said in another post, they probably don't know.

97% of Americans think they're the only country in the world that matters.

90% of statistics are made up on the spot, but 95% of them have a point.

This post is offensive, stupid, and moreover, racist.
I know one tends to get emotional, but this is over the top. You're not 'better' than Bilbo or Dillusion.

Also, read what SEAL said. I can't remember _any_ 'disaster' that's been so worldwidely memorized like this one.

Also, I want to add that I was shocked too, last year. It was a terrible sight to see 2 buildings of that size collapse.
But the true reason that this is an event so widely remembered, is the knowledge that it is likely that more terroristic attacks are to come. Heavier ones, which can kill perhaps even hundreds of thousands people...

Myth, Seal, and Guru all raise excellent points! I remember when I was in high school sociology, and my teacher taught us about Ethnocentrism, and how the USA leads the world in it. It's no wonder that 95% of Americans don't know or don't care, seeing as how 100% of that 95% I am sure gather their news from television outlets. If any of you have ever seen an American news program, they generally only dedicate 1 to 2 minutes to reporting on World events. And that my friends, is pathetic.

Yes I know that Putin is trying to make a case for action against Chechnya.

Yes I know that France was again hit with terrible storms on Sunday and Monday, killing I think 20+ people.

Yes I know of the kidnapped Russian oil executive.

Yes I know how boring the Italians thought their Miss Italy contest was.

Yes I know about the IRA decision to not allow moderators from Britain to monitor breaches in the latest cease fire agreement.

It's a big world out there kiddies, everything that is important doesn't only happen in your back yard.

(In case you folks were wondering, the Associated Press and Reuters make a great place to start for global news.)

Since i never agree:
You're right, for most parts. The fact is that, and excuse me for saying this, the lower society class gets it's education from tv. America has alot of people=>money; so their can invest alot of money in tv programs wich get way more professional that european tv programs, therefore also seen over here. Everybody know's who G.Bush is. (although more people watch the finals of the football -soccer- champions leage than people know who bush is -- fact). The point is: it's not particually usa's fault for not knowing or caring whats going on outside the country. That's the same in azia, europe, wherever. On a tv program alot of dutch people couldn't even point out holland on the world map! (for the dutch: vakantie man). Maybe see it has 'the highest tree's catch the most wind'. And like always, the educated people will care/ know.

Nontheless: usa sucks

note: do the spellcheck yourself.

Yes well the media had a lot to play in that. Also the sight of buildings hundreds of meters high does that to a mind.

It was a terrific (in it's original meaning, as in to induce immense terror) sight.

the sad fact is the terrorist fuckers have already won. we're on our way to a locked down police state by 2010. say goodbye to your freedoms people.

That's something you should all lash out against. Don't give up the things that make you different from those who attacked you just to prevent something like that from happening again. By the time you reach complete security you'll have nothing left worth protecting.

I dont see eye-to-eye with you on this one.... And yes it was out of anger.

I remembered I was sick that day and stayed home from school and I think I was one of the first people to see it and tell people to check out the news in SS. I was playing SS and was flipping through channels on TV and saw that almost every news channel had it on, so I informed people in SS about it.

your an idiot and ive lost any respect ive ever had for you. you think america is the only country that has fucking people dying. You don't give a fuck that people die every day in the middle east, and not only from terrorists, but sometimes from those supposed "peacekeepers." Stop talking out of your ass dipshit, and realize that there are people who die everyday in this world, and you dont even give a shit. Dont expect compassion if you dont offer it yourself.

Your are all still missing the big picture here, not only were american lives lost, but the EARTHS people were lost. WE ARE ALL GODS CHILDREN WE ALL BLEED, WE ALL CRY, WE ALL DIE.

Stop being blinded by politics and what you see on the news, if you would all just stop and think about what exactly happend you might see it in a new light. Not everything America does is the right thing, we all have made mistakes. Evil people did Evil things on that day, and people who did not deserve to die did. If this happend anywhere else in the world would you guys lash out at them and say the had it coming? You all have twisted this whole post around again. Thanks Pusher for sharing you're thoughts.
