Together we pause to remember the victims, to grieve with the families and friends of those who died, and to honor the heroes of that day and each day since who have sacrificed to save lives and serve their country.Fly the American Flag in a moment of remembrance for 9/11.
Shut the fuck up. Now I was just as just as pissed off, just as scared, shocked, and depressed by what happened on 9/11 as anyone who wasn't killed or a relative of a victim or stuck in the fucking towers or trying to save people stuck in the towers or living or working right there. Outside of that group of people, the people running for their lives, covered in dust and scared shitless we are all just TV watchers. It was scary as fuck for everyone but some people like to believe that they are the true survivors of 9/11.
I'm pretty much sick of 9/11 grief hogs. You know who I'm talking about. the people with the little banners on facebook, the mass e-mailers. I'm gonna fly my flag on 9/11 in honor of those that.. blah blah blah. I fly mine everyday fuckhead. Now like most things squishy and involved with feelings I get kind of turned off. Mostly because I see it as a show. I'm gonna show everyone how deeply I feel things. Watch me empathize. I am remembering, are you remembering as much as I am? If you're not remembering and grieving like me then you don't love your country like I do. See? I put an American flag on my facebook page. That means I am feeling and remembrance-ing. I have to say some of the people doing this on facebook I like a lot, they're good people but obviously not as prone to hating outward appearances of grief and mourning like I am. I take my grief of the shitty things that have occurred in my life, put them in a dark place and drink them to death. I don't facebook them and I don't flag wave them and I don't give a shit if anyone else knows I feel them. It is a rare occasion that I dwell into them in front of someone else. Now putting a little flag on Facebook doesn't hurt anyone but it certainly isn't bringing anyone back either. It's just a grandstand, a mock action of solidarity to be in a club of almost were's that didn't actually have a building fall on their heads but kind of wish they did. Let the people who lost people mourn in their own way, let the mourn brigade and grief tourists stick their little flags up their disingenuous asses.

You are an asshole! The problem is that people Do forget and the youth have no clue, partially due to the total inadequacies of the education system as well as parents who don't give a damn. Fly your flag everyday...good for you. But where HOA's only allow flags on certain days then we choose to fly them out of respect, and in this occasion, respect for those who perished. So, if it takes Facebook or whatever to remind the ignorant, then so be it!
Damn Teddy that was good.
Wish I'd said it.
Amen.
I don't have to prove my patriotism to any dip shit flag waver either.
Amen. These are the same people placing flowers out in front of John Kennedy Jrs. apartment or crying in public about the death of Princess Di, Heath Ledger, etc. Spare me.

Burn the flag! Burn a Quoran! Build A Mosque! ALL CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS!
Hey Anonymous who called Teddy an "asshole"
The only thing you know about assholes are the ones you find on the little boys you stalk around school yard.
You probably prove that no amount of 'reminders' can help the ignorant masses.
Public remembrances by our lawmakers & tributes are acceptable. It is the public narcissism of posting sympathetic claptrap on FB & seeking a psychological reward to which Ted objects & he's correct.
