9/11

Just wanted to note that it is that day today. I was watching Obama giving his speech and he seemed to be saying that it was the first national service and remembrance holiday today- does this mean that 9/11 is a national day in America now?

Anyway, just wanted to remember those who lost their lives so innocently and bravely.

I saw something written about 'the Falling Man', and that the image was banned by America as 'cowardly.' I don't agree. Surely its braver to leap from a tall tower than meekly accept your fate inside a burning building?

Well, yeh, I'd think so! It was certainly the biggest atrocity in a long time.

I should imagine it's like our Remembrance Day in that everything stops while people remember, but I don't know if it's an official holiday?

I think the same K about "the falling man"......it must have taken a lot of bravery to leap out of the window to certain death.

I see Charlie Sheen has outspoken views about 9/11. He thinks the US government were to blame so people would support a war in Iraq. He also thinks Osama Bin Laden works for the US govt!
Emperor Morphetine

Well, Charlie Sheen can think what he wants but I think his opinions are a load of rubbish!  
Lucifer_666

you would be surprised at just how many do believe what Sheen does and i don't think it can be denied that it is a possibility....

As for the falling man...thats silly if anything its a symbol of just how bad things were in them towers that people's only option was to jump.....it just makes me feel more sorry for those poor victims
Emperor Morphetine

Well, yeh, it was just evil what those people did to all those innocents....
Lucifer_666

it was an evil act bud    
another thing about the falling man image ... i just don't get how pepple can label it cowardice.. ... so if there was an image of a man burning at the top would he be seen as courageous? .......neither are accurate but if i was to give a word to describe the falling man it would probably be Desperation

Anyway, maybe the man just slipped and fell, it could be as simple as that.

Charlie Sheen is a well known loose cannon, there are things to be said on both sides of his argument... I suppose if he suddenly gets assassinated, we'll know the truth then, won't we?
Emperor Morphetine

Can't see them working that into an episode of 'Two and a Half Men' can you?

 unless of course they decide to have hin write a theme tune for a conspiracy programme  
Emperor Morphetine

Heh, true.  
Lucifer_666

 it could happen  
Emperor Morphetine

Did he ever actually make music for TV or is 'Two and a Half Men' just making that up?
Lucifer_666

 Oh I think that was just made up for the character...we;; I imagine so anyway  
Emperor Morphetine

He's actually a decent pianist though on that evidence.....
Lucifer_666

does he difinitely play it bud?
Emperor Morphetine

Not sure- if he doesn't it's damn good miming!
Lucifer_666

he could be good at miming  
Emperor Morphetine

True.
Lucifer_666

 your not convinced by my argument are ya  
Emperor Morphetine

As yet undecided.  
Lucifer_666

a vigourous examination of his key finger work will be required    
Emperor Morphetine

Christ knows he's done enough of that in private eh?  
Lucifer_666

   i bet  
Emperor Morphetine

After all he's got a little black book that would make even the richest among us jealous apparently!
Lucifer_666

 lucky git   i'm guessing its not that little either.....erm....   his book i mean

I notice that another series of Two and a Half Men starts soon- I haven't really watched it since I finished uni....
Lucifer_666

i used to watch the first season or so a good while back now on irish channels but they then stopped showing it and i have missed loads.   ..i must download some ...i seen one lately and i was shocked at how big the little kid has gotten  
Emperor Morphetine

Yeh, its like he had a massive growth spurt between series...
Lucifer_666

I got a surprise when I seen him ....as it didn't seem that long ago from when i was watching them and all of a sudden it looked like alot of time had passed
