More specifically, there are different channels broadcasting different things, CNN is rebroadcating its original report all day on its pipeline, ABC is releasing a cable movie (despite the popularity) and many of us were in some way affected by the turn of events. What are you doing to remember that day?

I have a lot of pet peaves that have come out since that day. That's just one of them. "Nine-one-one" is a phone number, as a date it would be September 1, 2001, nothing happened on that day. It happened on the ELEVENTH (11TH) so why do people say "one-one"?
I also have a problem when people call it the "attack on New York." There was no attack on New York, there was an attack on America, in which ONE of the targets was IN New York. You say "The attack on New York" and you totally ignore the people who died in Pennsylvania and the Pentagon.
I heard someon on TV once refer to it as an "incident." I guess my definition of "incident" and his are different, because I believe the root word is incidental, meaning minor. Just a little thing.

Anyway, those are some of my pet peaves, I was just wondering if you had the same pet peaves or if i'm just crazy?

is there anybody else out there who agrees that the way israel is and has been treating the people of lebanon is nothing short of criminal, my question is not anti semetic so no accusations, i understand their reasons but not the way they have gone about it,bombing civillians is not a good way to gain support

why are we so keen to invite foreign people into the uk when so many of them want too flee troubles in their own country, will this lead to warring factions spilling onto the streets of britain and possibly causing uk citizens to be afraid to walk the streets, we do not always know the real reasons people come here as there is no way of checking their stories, i think we should be worried

I was getting ready for my college teaching day and my oldest son came up stairs and told me that NYC was being attacked and the WTC was burning. I didn't believe him. So I went to the kitchen where he was watching TV and saw the news coverage for one minute before the second plane slammed into tower two. I was totally shocked, sick and numb....

Regarding angioplasties that were performed @ EMH Regional Medical Center in Ohio? There was a story published in the New York Times about a month ago. I guess we have performed more than any other hospital in the country & the think that some of them must have been unnecessary. So now there are attorneys from all over jumping on the band wagon to try & sue us. Do you know how much work that is going to create for me??? I work in the records department & I will have to pull every stinkin chart for them to review or for me to copy! WHAT A PAIN IN THE ***! One attorney said in an article that he has already received over 2000 calls from patients & they will be reviewing their records!

I'm quite talented when it comes to writing essays & articles in college assignments & so i've thought that it might be nice if i do a diploma in journalism but i'm not sure whether a diploma would be enough or not. Also i'm doubtful that only doing good in class assignments ensures that i can be a good journalist.I like to be a freelance writer. Plz give your opinions.

When I see on Yahoo News that the Crocodile Hunter got stabbed through the heart by a poisoness stringray barb and died, but I think it's sad when I see on Yahoo News that a new panda mother accidently crushed her baby while it was nursing?

I'm going to go against the popular school of thought here and say that this man is an a*sehole.

I though it was great that he encouraged schools to provide better school meals for the kids.

But HOW DARE he rant that all parents who allows their kids to eat crips and chocolate are "Tossers and Arseholes". What, even as a treat a few times a week? Stupid cnut!!! Me and my brother these things as kids and we were never "obese" or unhealthy. We were very active too.

This man needs to get some perspective! Firstly with all his money and the time he and his wife have (they don't both pull 9-5s to keep a roof over their head) they can afford the bext organic stuff from Marks and Spencer and Harrods, and with the time he and his wife have they have the time to whip up these lovely natural heathy meals for their kids.

Plus perhaps their kids will actually EAT vegetables as opposed to crisps!

This man's arrogance is astounding. And no I don't expect you all to agree!

I read some where that the towers were designed to survive an impact from a plane that size. I also just recently heard of a conspiracy theory that the floors that were hit were vacated a few days prior by cia or something like that. Some of the terrorists who supposedly got on the plane were found several days later in the middle east.

I have found that most people can not prioritze their lives and never come to grips with that One Thing that matters to them. This One Thing is the thing that all of their decisions should be based upon. Until you find that One Thing, many of us wander from relationship to relationship, heartache to heartache, birth to death. Many have found their One Thing. Have you?

….The US government is pushing hard for sanctions against Iran, through the same UN ? If Iran follows US government's example, they should ignore the UN and call it names, and carry on as usual !
Has USA changed its mind about the UN ? Or is it the case of " I use it , when it suits me, and dump it when it doesn't " ! ?
