we havent even reached 100k americans dead yet on this ... the percentage of population directly affected by pearl harbor vs 9.11 is so vast its not even funny
im not saying we should forget but we dont need to all stop what we are doing and mourn it every year. i dont need to wake up and have news channels and websites flooded with 9.11 stories ... leave the mourning and constant remembrance to those who were actually affected.
90% of americans wouldnt even think twice about what day it is if we werent barraged my media about it
i'm all for never forgetting, we never should forget the past ... but that doesnt mean i need to have to constantly hear about it ... especially after 7 years ... what more can you say?
almost every american was affect from pearl harbor due to the war that followed. after 9/11 our military is in 2 places fighting, affecting the american public as it did before. i cant say how many are actually affected but both events have/are affecting all american lives in way or another

Not saying those that died at PH weren't innocent, but there is a difference.

We HAVE choices to make. Others don't. Be grateful that you're still here today, on HAN, chatting and complaining.
agreed, hey if you dont want to hear about it, just dont turn the tv on
