13 years ago today, almost to the minute

[Willie99]

both twin towers had collapsed, a real life horror story happening right before our very own eyes

RIP to all the souls that perished that day, it's hard to believe it happened 13 years ago

I remember thinking many many more people must have died when the towers fell, like 10k to 20k. I was actually astonished (and please) the number was significantly lower

+1 rip. I thought the casualties would be a lot more as well.

I was living in Maryland and a junior in high school. Class sat there watching the TV, no one saying a word. It didn't seem real. RIP

 

[PatsFanatic]

I was in the same building I am today. All worked stopped that day and every TV going along with a lot of emotions

Its been the beginning of the end watching this country take a huge left turn. To see how much this country has fallen off since then is shameful.We are so much a weaker country on so many levels

Totally disagree. What you've seen is a band of brothers risk their lives on foreign soil in an effort to keep this from ever happening on U.S. Soil again. This guys are far from weak.

The U.S. is as strong as it's ever been. It has resolve and heroes everywhere. We have our good and bad days but so does everyone else.

I don't believe that for a second.

We've got an inept, lying cluster-fuck for a President, one of the most corrupt administrations ever - and we've got a generation of young people who have been indoctrinated with leftist ideology and PC correctness that makes me gag.

US will be just fine. Ebb and flow of politics. One generation leans left, the next one right.

I absolutely agree with the second paragraph above (howdaya like me now, E?).

There has never been a better time in our nation's history than Right Here,Right Now.

People who complain about any aspect of their life in the USA 2014 are really overlooking a massive amount of reasons to be Perpetually Grateful and Appreciative

hard to believe. time flies. i had my nose on my 7th grade social studies teacher's chalkboard for talking too much. news came over the loud speaker, i didn't fully understand at the time but teachers were panicking.

Just because you don't like our leader doesn't mean we aren't a strong nation. And the young generation is the same as it's always been. If there were an RX back in the 1940's, you would've said the same thing.

 

[barman]

The older we get the more challenging it might be to accept a biological and quantum physical reality which tells us that "young people" are in fact the most highly evolved human beings to date and each successive birth perpetuates that evolutionary expansion.

This is why our greatest teachers are our littlest, youngest children.

Them and our dogs.
