Google "7/7" and then google "9/11" and see if there's a difference.

Your theory is flawed

Quote from wark :

Not to be disrespectful, but you're not doing "them" much of a tribute if you don't explain who they are or how they died.

The only moment we'll be taking is to find out what you're talking about.

Maybe even list their names—there are only 52...

Well as I said in my second post, I don't expect the event to be relevant to everyone. Those that were affected will know what I'm refering to and that was my sole intention with the post. Also, the thread wasn't intended as an actual tribute to those that died but a rememberance of the event and the way it affected the reader as an individual. A moment of personal reflection. Not everyone will react to the event in the same way, and it's not my place to dictate the way in which they do, which is why I deliberately chose not to make it a list of names.

As I also stated in my second post, the numbers aren't the issue.

That was exactly my point. Google any fraction you like. One is not like the others. In fact, try googling all 365 dates. One will stand out.

But this is O/T and we should be ashamed.

So you're saying that simply because more people died in "your" attack that no other terrorist attack in the world matters? Charming.

Sorry guys, it doesn't matter how many family members or friends you lose, unless that day racks up 3000 deaths nobody cares. It's not important at all. Awesome.

Or the US Embassy bombing that happened in Africa not too long ago (couldn't even tell you which country that was).

I believe that happened in the country most Americans refer to as "Other" ;P.

As for the victims, yeah of course its a trajedy. I dont like to gloat on that though, like i'm not gonna stop to remember the victims of 9/11 either. If we stopped on the anniversary of every day there was a trajedy that took human life then we'd be forever stopping. Sad as it seems, life goes on. Digging up this stuff is done purely for political propaganda gain.

We had 2 minutes silence in this country to mark the first anniversary of 9/11 whilst the war mongers where trying to whip us into a frenzy to bomb the hell out of the middle east to satisfy the wanton christian rampage of Bush and Blair. Yet we dont take a moment to remember the dead from the last terror group to bomb London? I was in 4 bomb scares when I lived in London during a PIRA campaign, luckily for me never a real one. Whatever your view of the politics, innocent people died. We dont stop to remember them so why should we stop as a nation to remember these people? Or 9/11? Or the many other attrocities to have been committed in Human history.

Dont make these people martyrs, that would only serve a political end. Let them rest in peace, as victims of a trajedy and no longer with us.

Move on, dont let political motivations dangle the dead infront of us. Else we'll be mourning the date of shock and awe next.

It won't be as widely reported, no. It might not be as gone on and on and on about, either—given its own international trademark on a two-number sequence. I didn't say it wasn't "worse" or that "nobody cares."

I most certainly didn't call it "my" attack, either (thanks for those quotation marks!).

Well said Becky, couldn't agree more.
