Ummm..because TODAY is the 3rd anniversary of 9/11 maybe? You want to start a thread on all the anniversary dates of other things that happened...knock yourself out. Why must you pollute a remebrance with this sort of BS argument?
Maybe we should protest Novemebr 11 as well then huh? I mean people from all over died in WW2 right?
Wow. You people are unbelievable...its a thread to remember what happened 3 years ago to the day. Nothing more and nothing less....and you were requested to NOT make these inane comments along the way but somehow you feel you just had to "add" them
Grow up.

Right. The point is not that I have now dedicated myself to starting threads on every day something bad happened to people, the point was to question why this particular group of people are given far more memorial status than many other groups of people who were technically of greater 'quantity' (if that matters). I have no problem remembering dead people, I just think its hypocritical to remember our dead people and not even count, let alone remember, those whose deaths we've (the West) have inadvertantly and directly caused all over the world (which is probably an important count to make, given that its probably responsible for our own 9/11 count of over 3,000 dead).
Protest November 11th? That would be stupid, I'm not sure why you mentioned that.
I love the "you people" quote, that line always makes me appreciate where the other side is coming from.
FYI Tranny, as you well know, this is an opinion forum. I'm glad you came out w/ yours, I'm not sure why you believe my point of view is not entitled to be here. Thanks for being the ethics police, I appreciate knowing when I've gone over the line, in your opinion.
