Does all of this bullshit piss anyone else off? i mean, yeah i'll remember, but part of being a mature adult is the ability to roll with the punches. i don't want to be reminded of these acts of terror every year. It happened. i know, i'll never forget where i was, what i was doing.... isn't that enough?
And i know plenty of people (i think 5 in total) that have there birthdays on Septermber eleventh. what about them.
...and all of this uber-patriotic bullshit. you can be a patriot and flaunt it every where, but don't hate on people who don't share your views. I AM A PATRIOT. i love my country, but todays government and political system are fundementally wrong. our founding fathers are rotating in there graves, becasue we are massacring there ideals. so yeah, i protest, yes, i throw stones at cars. but it's becasue this is a COMMUNIST country, and i am excersising my DEMOCRATIC rights! and i have a RIGHT OF FREEDOM. and i'll take it by force if i have to.

What about the date Kennedy was shot? do you know the exact day kennedy was shot? my dad can tell me exactly, to the t what he was doing.
...And pearl Harbor. What do you do on december seventh? do you wear black? do you bow your heads in prayer? NO becasue NO-ONE REMEMBERS. that event single handedly started americas involvement in the seccond world war... that's a pretty big deal.
do you celebrate VE day? do you even know what VJ day is? can you tell me the diffrnce?
So, you are chosing to honor five men who killed thousands of people, instead of honoring our fallen soldiers? You Sicken me.
