9/11: What to post in memorian?

I didn't want this day to pass without seeing someone here at SubSim recalling the events that took place only 6 years ago.

I didn't want to post any of what seem to be hundreds of pics and videos of that day. I cannot bear looking at them.

But I did find this:

In 9/11 remembrance, a turning to good deeds.

That seems right on the spot.

UPDATE: The article does not mention Partners In Kindness, which I've known about for years already. In memory of Shoshana Greenbaum.

This day last year myself and a friend sat by the 9/11 Memorial Labyrinth for a while, some sort of meditation I guess.

while remembering 9/11 victims, let's not forget the victims of 9.11.1973 when US installed Augusto Pinochet in Chile

How can we forget William Rodriguez and his lecture ?

And of course:

Amazing what a wee bit of historical perspective can do.

Oh, and what does this have to do with the topic at hand?

Yep, take it from a single Tidy Bowl Man.

Try playing devil's advocate to your own post and you'll see how childish and off the wall it is.

So in other words, according to you, the US is beyond military and intelligence failures and blunders. Think again.

To get a word in edgewise, between the crackpots. A good summary with links:

Six Years Later.

Tell that to the families of those who died\or affected that day. Show a bit of class here.

I rarely venture to the GT thread, this type of posting reinforces
why that is the case

Most importantly I would like to express my sympathies to the families and the friends of them who lost loved ones in this horrendous tradgedy.

----------

Do you know Avon Lady, on the one hand I admire you for starting this thread to give people a chance to post their comments and for the other... well, you are regularly a condescending individual. I cannot get over this: Your video titles "for the idiots out there" Broadly sweeping statements of "for the crackpots"

And you are a fine one to criticise anybody for being childish, have you ever proof read anything you post? For somebody accusing others of being childish, you don't half do a fair amount of sweeping name calling yourself, not just contained to this thread but there are other examples and other individuals who have been rubbed up the wrong way by you.... and yes, I am rubbed up the wrong way since you told me you'd like to cut off peoples hands who take ridiculous things seriously... so why not practice what you preached to me... Why are you taking ridiculous things seriously?

I understand full well you don't take to loonatics lightly and that is fine... but you have turned a good thread idea into a circus with your attitude, why not do the sensible thing from the get-go and speak to Neal Stevens, to get the idiocy in your thread removed or warnings at least....? You want to know whats on my mind... I think you enjoy the chance to get involved in a pushing contest.

Yeah, enough of the conspiracy theories already, whatever the cause it doesn't change the outcome, nearly 3000 people died that day.

Actually, I was hoping the thread would remain on topic.

There's a difference between taking ridiculous things claimed as truth seriously, versus misunderstanding when someone is joking in the first place.

Anyway, I'll keep calling a spade a spade, even when it rubs some people the wrong way.

@elite_hunter_sh3

There are threads here in GT about conspiracies around 9/11. Your post belongs there.

@AvonLady

You are a veteran member of this forum and multiple others (I remember you from OFP forums). So, you should know that feeding the trolls only makes it worse.

So.. I think what I'm really trying to say here is...
