Sixty years from now, will 9/11 be just another day few remember?

it's unfortunate that some people don't know what those things are. i know everyone of those answers, and all of the supreme court justices. however, i highly doubt that people will forget about 9/11

 

stopping to think about it, i guess you're right. unfortunately, a lot of people in my age group don't know what pearl harbor was. however, 9/11 made a huge impact on my life and many others, that i won't forget, but 30 years from now my kids will only get to read about it in textbooks.

 

I think there were so many things happened in the war including pearl harbour that some won't remember, but with 9/11 there is so much video footage of it happening and the aftermath it will never be forgotten, sadly those images will be etched in my mind for ever

 

I think it's safe to say that everyone in the school system in the United States is taught what happened on December 7th, 1941. Wasn't there a movie with Ben Affleck about that? Yeah, now I remember. Come on, let's go shopping.

 

More people will remember 9/11 60 years from then than when it was 60 years after Pearl Harbor. There's only ONE real reason--the amount of video footage and coverage.

 

Not untill they can no longer win elections because of it....

 

I heard they took the Wright Bros out of school history books to make room for some PC stupidity I imagine

US public school have become nothing more than wharehouses to stop teenagers from destroying the cities

They are also great for making obedient workers who arent educated enough to ask questions

I predict the USSR will return, In DC in the 21st C, Cant wait

 

Very true! It's disturbing when you're the only person in a university lecture who interacts with the lecturer...

I have come across only 3 or 4 people (out of 100+) at University whose written English qualifies in my opinion above the level of a 15 year old. It's amazing just how stupid most people are.

They don't know basic basic things, let alone the details of historical events and politics. You really can't hold a conversation with them for long because they're vacuums. I should mention that a significant percentage of these students are from China. They obviously got into the country on their parents' $ because they sure as hell didn't do it on merit.


It boggles the mind to think... just what exactly are they going to be doing 5 - 10 years from now?

 

There is so much I want to say to you right now but I don't have the time or the energy so I'll leave it with, **** off you're an idiot.

 

What kind of idiots did you ask those questions? Everybody at my high school would know what happened on Dec 7 and all the others, except maybe the 2 supreme court justices one. But I'm afraid you're right, the people who were alive and old enough at the time will remember it forever, the younger people will remember it as a "day in infamy", probably more than Pearl Harbor because it was more recent and there is footage, but not as much as the people who were alive at the time will.

 

I saw a poll about 2-3 months ago, and 60% of the americans they polled could not remember what YEAR 9/11 happened.

 

Yeah, but the flip-side of that is, do you have any idea how much of the twin towers is editted OUT of existing films or tv shows ?
For example, the show 'Friends' - the opening jingle used to show the NY skyline - with the towers in it - and those scenes are all yanked now.

'Because it's a bad memory' - Mrs. Bush said that herself.

Makes me puke.

Yeah, let's just remove it from our memories, just like a certain country wanted to remove any references to (jewish) concentration camps in WW II.

Yeah, if we erase it, maybe it will all just 'go away' like a bad dream....

 

That's bs, no way that's true. Who did they poll, 7 year olds?

 

Keep a close watch on Kalifonia

 

If there is still some BS agenda to sell in 60 years then there will be no US anyway!

 

There is no doubt that those of us now would have more knowledge of the significance of the 9/11 events 60yrs from now. Our next generation will learn of the events from school or what not, but it's just not the same as living at the moment the events occurred.

 

LOL, thanks to the EU & NAFTA, the current USA will probably include USA, Canada, & Mexico.

Maybe we will call it the United States of North America

or how about MexAda, CanMex, US of NAFTA ?

 

In the words of PT Barnum, "Never overestimate the intelligence of the general public."

 

Essentialy true, though he misoverestimated the number:

I was working at the Sprint PCS customer support center, one minute celebrating a coworker’s birthday, the next thing I know I'm looking the monitors watching the news unfold. The call volume dropped from 30 per hr to 1 due to the FCC ordered communications be monitored & some areas suspended (I think I still have my scripted copy issued by the FCC) Sprint had a broadcasting tower also shared with Verizon that went down on the WTC that tragic day.
