And I'm extremely touched. That's an incredibly intimate and personal way for the staff here to tribute the victims of 9/11.

It also charges people out the ass to go into the 9/11 museum that should be free, for goddamn fucks sake. Shame on them

I was in middle school when the towers hit. First day of a new school in fact. Now I’m with TSA...

Freshman in high school, was putting on socks when my grandmother called and told my aunt to turn on the news in time for the second plane.

Wuaaahh. I visited the memorial yesterday. Saw lots of roses. Thanks for this, was questioning what this is about

I honestly wonder who downvoted this comment. And why.

So is that a cat monument? 9/II, 9 pause, 9 paws, 9 lives? o_O
ObliqueRay
Christ, if there was as much coverage for non-US disasters, we would do nothing else.

Read about it on the monument

Right on

Side note: John Stewart is STILL working to get 9/11 first responders, benis they were denied in congress.

I thought that finally got passed? (fuck you Rand Paul)
friendsofsandwiches
I followed it for a while, as Stewart was trying to shame the republicans(HA!), and I lost track. Odds are he got SOME money, just not all.

I'd put money on them extending it for another couple of years again, kicking the can down the road as usual.

of course. Why bother paying people who risked their lives andare called heros, when you canjust let them die and pay the money for a memori

Yeah, noticed a few years ago when I visited.

I went there last year, and I didn't see that sign. I had wondered about them.

I saw the roses when I visited a few years ago, but not the sign, and was touched. Thank you for the explanation.

that's super sweet though I think 9/11 is an imperialist conceit. so fill wall street with fucking roses
TheMershedPerderder
The tour guides are very firm if anyone tries to sit on the memorial. Good.
MrXistentialCrisis
I’ve seen basic bitches sitting on the memorial, and taking selfies. I was fuming! Attention whoring social media parasites.

Yea, until you consider that others just get vandalized and defaced.

This is very touching. They do a similar thing in Syria for their fallen soldiers.

Honest question. What do u think about every day while looking down? Have u “moved on” do u get sad? Im a cryer, think I would cry every day
Gannon3d
Every day is weird, especially if you're high enough up to see planes and helicopters at eye level.
coffeeismyfriend
It still takes me unawares. I’ve worked there for 4 years and found myself just staring at it on Friday. Not sad though. Respectful.

Wife and I visited there a few weeks ago. Seeing that sign and the roses was too much for me. It's such a powerful monument.

MrStarkLord
You made a new account just to troll two 9/11 posts. So you're not just a loser, you're a coward, too.

We went in October and it was SO hard. Birthday flowers = tears. Museum? Fucking full-blown water works. It's something all should see.

9/11 was a tragedy. Does not bat a eye for all the innocent lives caused by USA involvement outside their own borders.
zenoshogun
Wouldn't 9/11 count for that involvement?...

Sorry, is every post that involves some form of a tragedy, also supposed to empathize for any and all tragedies across the globe?

If they weren't caused by US then sure

You're saying I don't bat an eye? Or is this just some over generalized angst statement meant to sound enlightened? Because you know 0% 1/2

If USA became isolationist again people like you would be bitching we aren’t doing enough globally and it’s our duty as a wealthy nation.

Yep.

No only wealthy people and those who are wealthy dont pay anything towards defense because they dont pay taxes.

But there is a balance, we have killed almost half a million civilians in Iraq alone. We need more diplomacy, less warmongering.
somepersondoingsomethings
God I hate this myth. Foreign fighters dead set on chaos & instability (iran) killed half a million civilians in Iraq. Not the US Military.
RamsesMCMXCI
https://www.statista.com/statistics/269729/documented-civilian-deaths-in-iraq-war-since-2003/ this adds up to 233k+ directly confirmed alone

Not half a million even if it were accurate and its not.

2/2 about my stance on anything related to war and politics, so you must just love making these kinds of useless comments.

you come at them with rage, which is probably justified. though war is a plague. middle east is in great pain because of this attack.
Redbulloth
The middle east was attacking the US and each other before 9/11 too.
anotherdeadaquarian
fascinating. ever heard of europe?
Redbulloth
I've seen multiple responses on here at least claiming to be from the UK complaining about little to no leave. But yes, I have heard of it.
ImJustHereToMakePeopleCry
anotherdeadaquarian
sorry the middle east is super fucked because of 9/11.
Redbulloth
Pretty sure it was super fucked before. Like how it has all those straight-line borders the British and French loved when carving it up.
PantherMedic
Oh, buddy. As someone from the Middle East, it was fucked looong before that.
anotherdeadaquarian
And what does the US and western Europe have to do with that? Asking with sincere curiosity
PantherMedic
I didn't say it did? I was just saying that 9/11 was a symptom, not a cause. Though, Western support for Iraq in the 80s didn't help.
Cthulhuchooseyou
That has to be so many roses constantly, when you think about how many died.
courtnJunkie
Was there 2 years ago. About 15 that day. Very hard and depressing. Im Canadian & was only 1 years old when 911 took place. Heartbreaking

Look, if I’m to the point I’m on meth then I am going to strip too. You wouldn’t make a PBJ sandwich without peanut butter right?
