    This reminds me- in school today, a choral group absolutely refused to sing the song they were practicing.
    The song was called “Let us Celebrate this Day”.

    I applaud them for that.

    God bless America.

    I witnessed it first hand. I will never forget that day.

    I am glad that you cut out the part of the screenshot that actually depicted the plane hitting the first Tower. I love the patriotic message, but I don’t think you should really replicate that kind of horror and loss of life in a light-hearted video game.

    Nonetheless, my heart goes out to anyone who lost loved ones on that day. In fact, I am appalled at the indifferent attitude adopted by some members of my own young generation towards those events. I get choked up at the mere mention of United Flight 93 and the bravery displayed by ordinary Americans in a time of need. We may have been young when it happened, but God forbid we should ever forget.

    On a lighter note, I actually know someone nicknamed “Bigglesworth”.

    That speaks milions for me. I lost 2 family members that day. One on flight 93, and another when the second tower collapsed.

    Herr, i had a similar experiance today. My English teacher wanted us to write a paper on ” how america caused 9/11″, I refused to write it, and got a detention because i talked back against the teacher when he said ” it was a fixed event”.

    I’m sorry to hear about your losses Desert Rat. As someone far removed from that situation, I was and still am so extremely touched by it. The events of that morning and following days are etched permanently into my memory. I think it’s important to remember, …

    Desert – it sounds like your English teacher is one of the few that believes in the whole conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11, how there were explosives placed in the towers, the mysterious collapse of building 7, and probably the faces of angels/demons in the smoke. I used to be one of those for a short time after a friend of mine had me watch Loose Change, and for a while i fell into it. But then rationalism came into play, and once again i am in my right mind of believing that conspiracy theories are just that—-theories. I suggest that you find your teacher a copy of ‘9/11 Conspiracies: Fact or Fiction’ that aired on the History Channel. Might put his mind in the right place again.

    Remember the Fallen!

    I don’t know if Rat’s teacher is a conspiracy theorist, but the teacher’s actions are entirely callous and basically WRONG. While 1980’s American foreign policy aided the Taliban, America (and especially Americans) did NOT cause 9/11.

    I hope you don’t like your teacher, Rat, because he’s an asshole. How can someone punish a person who lost loved ones in a horrible tragedy to blame that tragedy on their own country? And we have no proof America caused 9/11 and lots of proof al-Qaeda did!

    It strikes me that Rat’s teacher is making his students defend a belief with no substance behind it. The teacher is exploiting the educational system to advance his own THEORIES! Unless he asks you to debate and support the THEORY that America caused the slaughter of innocent civilians (which is still unkind to those who lost loved ones), then he is not actually allowing his students any independent thought!

    I applaud Rat for standing up in memory of his loved ones and defying and challenging such an opinion. That is what students should be learning: how to think and defend themselves and their beliefs! They should not be learning the lie that their country killed their family! Freedom of Speech and of opinions are a great thing in this country, but that teacher needs to learn RESPECT!

    I am on your side, Desert Rat, as is much of the United States of America, as well as the free world and free thinkers everywhere.
