God, am I tired of all the 9/11 patriotism. I know it's sad that people died. I feel bad for them. But why the hell are we having a moment of silence in schools 5 years later. I can understand the day after, the week after, or even a month after, but 5 YEARS people! Get a grip.
It's officially 22 hours and 56 minutes from the date of 9/11. Why am I STILL recieving chain letters and bulletins asking for another moment of ******** silence?! Isn't one a year enough people? Jesus!
Now, don't get me wrong. It was a terrible thing, people died, blah-di-blah-di-blah, and I feel so sorry for the families of those who died during 9/11. But, in my honest opinion, let's leave the mourning to people who accually knew someone that died, or at least care.
Call me unpatriotic. Call me self-centered. Call me a satanist. I could care less. I am so sick and tired of all the flags around my school, that I put up a flag saying "What about Africa?"
More people have died from starvation than died in 9/11. But do I see a moment of silence for them, and all of their families? No, I don't. Just because they're not American, to hell with them, right? Oh, low and behold when a big-mac eating patriot dies, but screw the starving African children. That makes no sense to me at all. Well, it does, but I don't get how people can feel so patriotic and good about giving silence for lost lives when they won't give one freaking penny to a dying person across seas.
And what about people killed from hate crimes? All the African-Americans, Jews, gays/lesbians, and murder victims? Where the hell is their moment of silence?
9/11 is the day when I am reminded of why I hate this country so. It reminds me of how selfish humans can be, especially some Americans. So please, next year on September 11th give a moment of silence to those forgotton.
((Please forgive all spelling and grammar errors. It is late and I had a long day today.))
