9/11

But some of those facts are true, and it's freaky.

Really?

"Q33 NY" refers to an Internet hoax which was spread, often via e-mail, in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks. The hoax capitalizes on an oddity of the Wingdings symbol font.

The message claimed that "Q33 NY," the supposed "flight number" of one of the airplanes to hit the World Trade Center, becomes a message when rendered in Wingdings font. In Wingdings, "Q33 NY" renders as:


(Note the skull and crossbones and Star of David on the right.) However, "Q33 NY" is not an actual flight number or an aircraft registration number - it's a meaningless assemblage of letters and numbers designed to take advantage of the font's symbols to infer a connection (prophetic or conspiratory) between the 9-11 attacks and Jews.

The actual flight designations of the airplanes striking the World Trade Center were American Airlines Flight 11 (so, AA11, first plane) and United Airlines Flight 175 (UA175, second plane). It is worth noting that in New York, there is a bus route Q33 serving LaGuardia Airport, which was not connected with any of the flights used in the attacks.

Like I said you shouldn't believe everything you read.

To be honest, they don't need it to be September to do that, they do it all the time anyway. I am sick and tired of seeing 9/11 dragged up in EVERY single incident that ever occurs. I'm sick of Americans, the powers that be and otherwise, acting as if they are the only ones who have ever been affected by terrorism. We've had terrorism here since the 60's...

...and the US hasn't. That is why it is important to remember. Because the US (and for that matter Canada) doesn't live with it every day it is important we be reminded that these people are out there. Or would you prefer everyone go back to sticking their head in the sand?


Personally I will never forget it. I saw the second plane hit broadcast live. The entire day was.... unforgettable. The only bright spot was all the others in other countires who had been through the same thing offering sympathy. It unified most of the world for a few days anyway. To bad it couldn't have lasted longer but I guess it's easier to call people names and be angry at them then try to understand each other and get along.

I... think.. I'm....in love.. with... you.

You know what I love, other countries that complain about America claiming to be the center of the world. And you know why it's funny? Because anytime something happens in the world, America must have an opinion and take a stance on it. People complain about America being "The World Police" but it's basically because America is forced to be. Cause when we do nothing people yell at us, and when we do something, people yell at us.

You can bitch about America claiming to be the center of the World and crap, when we're not really. But the fact of the matter is, more of the rest of the world knows about America, than people in America. The rest of the world pays attention to America, more than America. So who makes us the center of everything? If you don't care about America, why even post in a thread that doesn't involve you? I don't mean to sound mean, but if you have a problem with it, why get involved with it. By talking about America, you're helping to put it as the center of attention. If people would stop talking about America around the world, and expecting things from us in certain situations, maybe we wouldn't see ourselves as the center of attention.

As for 9/11, yes it was sad, yes it happened, but we do need to move on. See I've been thinking, I go to a military school. We have a vigil for 9/11. But the school has been around since before Pearl Harbor... did they have vigils for that, and how long after it happened did they have them? I just don't want to see students here 25 years from now still having vigils for 9/11. Honestly, it didn't change all that much here. We act like it did, but it didn't really. It did for a little bit, but the country hasn't changed much at all.
