It's for the family members of victims.

Fuck people who want everything to be all about them.

"The city said, "Our first priority for the ceremony is to accommodate victims' family members. We're working to find ways to recognize and honor first responders and other groups at different places and times."

Makes perfect sense to me because the first responders will end up with early cancers and end up dying and then their family members will then be invited to attend future events.

No one is getting any diseases from
9/11. It's a scam to get money. I just made that up, but it's probably true or I wouldn't have thought it.

Can anyone ever just shut the fuck up about 9/11? Honestly, it wasn't even that bad. Yeah, some lives were lost, whatever. It really wasn't even that much. I'm tired of hearing about it. Old news is fucking old. Get over it.

It's just stupid how something so small is still being talked about so much. I dunno, maybe it's my lack of sleep talking but I stopped caring after a good year or two.

I'm really with you here. It's been a fucking decade. Do we really need to have yet another circlejerk bawwfest about how tragic it all was? Do we really need to stir up more fucking drama about who we're inviting to our fucking pity party as well? Fuck.

yeah, but small shit can start really long and bad chain of events. WW1 was started by a small "terrorist" attack. It might've been small, but it sparked 2 wars and triggered an economic meltdown that is still being felt worldwide. I hear what you're saying though, but people will never stop talking about it. It was the straw that broke the camels back.

Or a pipe wrench to the knee depending who you ask.

WTC was designed in 1960 when asbestos was a key building material!

http://www.asbestos.com/world-trade-center/

"Much of the dust from the World Trade Centers included asbestos, which was present throughout the materials in the buildings"

20 year time bomb as many know. Those mass of clouds of dust you watched on TV or videos were a mass of Asbestos mixed with lots of metallic particles that enter the lungs and have no way to exit the body. Copper pipes in plumbing are loaded with lead at connection solder points.

No one really disputes the long term mess on health this time bomb will cause.

Reminds me of how often as a kiddlet I drilled into plates of Asbestos for projects. Very cool material to play with on so many projects. Was a key part of my Nitroglycerin making machine and many electronic projects. Thinking about how often I played with mercury reminds me that the WTC was loaded with liquid mercury in the mass of temp controls and all those florescent bulbs YIKES.

Hey we all going 2 go sum tyme eh - Me I want to die Healthy as in a Mountain Climbing accident or such.

Sounds fun. When I die, I expect it to be tragic and me being tortured for all the wrong I've done in life.

One must move past that done wrong stuff. I mean look at every fucking politician in the world and find one that has not done a lot of wrong and then all the attorney's that sell the soul for the clients needs. Do I feel bad for sum stuff? Sure because telling a GF that its tyme to say goodbye means tears and that really messes me up.

But let me say for my last reply this AM - One discovers that for every bump in the road, one is going to get past that and end up later with a Super fun Day/Week/Month/Year and sure there are pot holes along the way but hey, you paid big money for the suspension on the car for those pot holes and may as well put that engineering to good use to get past those bumps in road.

Use the Karma principle - For all those wrongs do some good extra good things. No money to donate to worth cause? Volunteer at some place and there are Zillions of places that can use a pair of hands.

Ain't that hard to work off bad Karma IF one is willing to just move ON. Stuck in the road? Get past it.

Its like those years of my Downhill racing on a team. One cannot become real good without working hard at it and FALLING DOWN a lot. Push to limits means one trips on self.

OR of course one can just sit down at a TV or computer and live life but shoot that is hardly going to feel as good as having your hands all over a Girl and her lips all over your body.

Just move on and 4get about that Past stuff but pay it forward.

G'd nite

I like it. It's why I do the stuff I do. Nobody makes me pull over to the side of the road to move that shit out the street, I just do it. Very inspiring words.

Are you retarded? 9/11 has shaped the events of the past 10 years. Millions have died as a result.

How old were you when it happened? New York was forever changed. No one who lives there wasn't impacted by it.

It's only 10 years past. It's not just in living memory, but every adult was alive for it.

Christ. We only just got the guy people see as the main person behind it. Scars are still fresh for many people.

Not me. It makes it easy to remember my friend's bday.

Yes. Older than you. I could just honestly give a shit less. My dad could have died, but he didn't, so it's whatever. For those people that lost people, yes it's tragic. However, all the over people that had absolutely nothing to do with it, move on. It's old shit now.

Why are you so mad? It's a memorial in NY. Shit, son.

Chill out and worry about yourself more. You are wasting a lot of energy on this.

You're over 30? I didn't know...

Good question. And nah, not really. I'm just used to saying that to kids on Xbox.

No one is saying it wasn't a tragic loss of life or that it didn't shape world politics for the past decade, but, fuck, am I tired of people pulling it out over and over so they can moan about it. Build a damned memorial and move the fuck on. The truly sad part is that, for a nation of people who are supposedly so great and unshakable in their purpose, we can barely get that done inside of a fucking decade.

How often do you hear bout it? Cause I rarely do anymore unless it's relevant. I don't get where this hostility is coming from.

Really? I never hear people get into shit, but i play when kids are asleep/schooling.

Triggered a shitload more than that. Almost everything about modern life is a result of that small terrorist attack that nearly failed.

It did fail. The grenade was deflected and the guy was caught before he could take a cyanide pill. I guess you could say it was successful because of what the attempt caused.

It didn't fail because they set out to kill him and killed him.
