Who else is sick of every problem in our country being blamed on the attacks? I am tired of hearing that the economy is bad because of what happend on 9/11. I am als sick of companies editing and not releasingmovies and video games because it "MIGHT" offend people. I am over the attacks I have been since about 9/18 when I first started getting sick of the overblown coverage. I might offend people here and I am sorry if I do but I am just venting some steam and expressing my opinion.

i am getting sick of it too. all of these companies are either blaming bush or the attacks on their bankruptcy when a smart company like general motors has money on hand to make it through situations like this

I'm getting sick of the news agencies showing the death toll on their ticker everyday and talking about how security is tight at the Olympics and at the airports and what police are doing to help improve. A story gets rather old after about 4 months.

Everyone in here who is sick of hearing about Sept. 11 obiously never had a loved one die in the attack. And so you have no room to talk.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, positive or negative. While it certainly is devastating to lose the ones we love, the question remains how long do we go on talking about them as if they were still here, and saying things like "if only this person were here, the car wouldn't have broken!" I believe that's the type of thing this thread is referring to. It is an unfortunate fact of life that even though the ones we love may no longer be with us, we, in fact, have to go on living without them.

I hate how they edited the ending to the Spiderman movie! COME ON! We can't act like these buildings never existed! That's stupid!

I can't wait til this comes out on DVD, since they have all kinds of extras including ALTERNATE ENDINGS.

It is an event that shouldn't be forgotten and which will shape many things in years to come, but I'm not into revisionist history. I don't believe in doing or not doing things out of fear for how someone else might perceive it.

I am also finding the victims families to be extremely irritating, tryannical and unrealistic. I think they have been fed a potion of entitlement that is taking them further and further from reality. I believe they should be assisted, I do not think htey should be set for life. I think their immediate needs should be contributed to, I think their long term needs aretheirs to work out. People die everyday affecting children and families and those children and families find a way to move on. These people are getting a huge tax-free payout and they still whine. They need to shut up and fade away.

I imagine being in NYC I am exposed to their demands and tyranny more than people in other geographic regions. The NYC news channel, NY1 (which is a NYC only news channel), covers issues in depth. I have found that many people of diverse backgrounds and varying economical affluence are totally turned off by these sad people who have become money-grubbing monsters.

MSNBC just stopped their 24-hour coverage of the Attack on America. I was so sick and tired of it! I mean come on! The war's just stupid now and the Taliban has totally fallen apart because of us (at least in their strongholds). Bin Laden is probably in pieces. I'm really tired of all this coverage and everything. Get over it, America. Yes, it hit us very hard and two monumental towers are gone, but we're resilient. We should move forward, like the prez said! It's all stupid now. There is no need to cover it anymore unless they confirm Bin Laden's death or capture or something else BIG happens.

Well I do think that we can not go on like these attacks never happend. I do think that they should stop editing or not releasing movies and video games because they might offend someone. Well if it offends someone then they do not have to buy it. I am suprised that they haven't recalled something to edit things out.

first of all, i agree about the amount of coverage being just too much. i'm especially annoyed at all the re-edits and the like to movies so that they don't offend anyone. and i don't think we need to be reminded constantly of the attacks, but at the same time we need to face the reality that it happened and deal with it.

to say nothing of the fact that the coverage is too focused on the twin towers. i understand the vast majority of death occured in the WTCs, but i think that since the major news networks are all (save CNN) based in New York that they've tended to (not forget but) overlook the tragidies at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania.

now about the argument "Everyone in here who is sick of hearing about Sept. 11 obiously never had a loved one die in the attack. And so you have no room to talk:"

this might make me sound like a callous jack@$$, but i don't care. people die tragically and unjustly every day in this country. its sadness cannot be overstated, but that doesn't mean we all want to be subjected to it every day of our lives. now i can appreciate the fact that the sheer amount of loss in a single moment makes 9/11 different, but not that different. Stopping continuous coverage of ground zero won't make us forget the heroism of those involved, nor will we EVER forget the tragedy of 9/11. its sheer magnitude will ensure that. but at the same time, we all need to get on with our lives and not be subject to victim/heroic stories every. single. hour. of. every. single. day.

to say nothing of the fact that maybe distancing ourselves from 9/11 JUST A BIT might allow the country to evaluate the 'war on terror' just i tad more objectively. there's a reason why we don't let a murder victim's family serve on the jury.

Thats just the new copout, it will be over when something new can replace it.

I do think that every topic in the US that is negative shouldn't relate in some how to the 9/11 attacks, however i do think that the War On Terrorism(which has only just begun will continue)

i totally agree i am sick of the families whining. my mother is a nurse who doesnt have a job right now and my dod anly makes about 1500 every 2 weeks and we are in the middle of moving. u cant say that any of these families are worse off than mine except that a husband or father has died. if someone in my family died nobody would give us money or donate to us. but these already wealthy families of the wtc victims are already receiving more than $1,000,000 and guarenteed free college from charities and the government. then they whine their little baby heads off that they need more money to them i say BLOW ME! i dont have a scolarship guarenteed for me or my brother but we arent whining about it. my family could use that money 100 times more than 90% of the victims families because most of them were millionaires anyway they r only whining because they need more mony to keep living the millionaire lifestyle when as i said my family is far worse off and are sucking it up and making it work unlike those pussies in nyc.

That's a tough situation, Nineinchnails. Good to see you still have some fire in you. Not giving up gets you over the finish line. I hope things work out for you. They usually do. Hang in there!

I think we all have been affected some way in the attacks. It's one of those things we'll never forget. I think the tributes to the victims and to the heros are very justified. I also believe the domino effect of this tragedy has hit the economy in SOME ways, but not in the ways a lot of people are saying it is.

The economy was in bad shape before the attacks. Analysts were predicting major drops in the stock market before the attacks. The job market was decling before the attacks. People were being laid off and could no longer afford to spend like they did. I think it's ridiculous to blame everything on 9/11.

And the security measures are making it impossible for people to get back to life. It's not the fear of flying that are driving people away. People aren't flying because rates have risen, because they can't afford to with the economy struggling, and because people don't want to spend several hours in an airport dealing with security before a flight. Why fly from Detroit to Chicago when it will take just as long to fly with all the security measures that it takes to drive. And it's CHEAPER.

What irritates me more than anything are the companies using 9/11 and the "american spirit" to make money off the tragedy. I'm not against the few cases where portions of money from these "tribute" items were going to help in the recovery process. But I am against those who are selling items purely for profit.
