If you're lazy and lack the respect to watch the entire thing, just skip to the last quarter of it.
This guy DIED when the first trade center went down while dialing 911..... :/

How do you guys feel about September 11th?
Personally, I have VERY hard feelings about it. I didn't directly know anyone who was killed, but the whole subject is one of the only things that just tears me to peices, especially for some reason the people who jumped for their lives :(

Yes, because our patriotism, empathy, class, value of human life and so on is measured by whether we watch a near five-minute video on the subject or not.

It's remarks like that that make me want to smack people upside the head. I have family that's been in the cesspool of Iraq, the snowball that got rolling because of this mess, and how I choose to remember and pay tribute to it is my fucking business. I don't need someone who thinks for everyone along with himself telling me how I'm supposed to show my respect or when I'm supposed to mourn. As if the news itself won't be displaying its own tribute.

Even worse are people that have the effing nerve to say things like "we all died a little on the inside when ______ took place." How fucking pompous can you get?

I'm in a bad mood at the moment. Congrats on being the straw that broke the camel's back. And seriously, how people choose to handle the experience is up to them. Don't make condescending remarks like that, especially when people have extremely different views on the matter. Yours was minor; some people act like one is obligated to throw a crying fit every time 9/11 is mentioned, and if you don't, it means you're a heartless, empty-souled son of a bitch.

I'm watching a documentary on it right now on the History channel. These 9-11 documentaries always make me so sad...

Um.... okay? If it's your "fucking business", then don't watch the video. Problem solved.
Am I supposed to feel bad that I pissed you off or something?

Not at all. The idea is, one has the tact not to say things like that in the first place.
