    In my constant search for something to relieve the boredom, i read our local TV guide the other day.

    This is what i found for Wednesday, Sep 11. (we only get two commercial channels up here)

    (abbreviated version of program guide)

    first channel :
    6:30pm : one hour Sep 11 special.
    7:30pm : How the Twin Towers Collapsed.
    8:30pm : two hours of film footage of the strikes filmed by a couple of French filmakers.
    10:30pm : "Sep 11. We Remember"

    second channel :

    7:30pm : Flight 93 - countdown to terror (the one that didn't make it)
    8:30pm : "one year on..."
    10:30pm : "ground zero" (twin towers)
    12.00pm : the world remembers... nightline sep 11 special.

    hang on... WHICH country do i live in again? Does this "commemoration" of an american event HERE bother anyone else out there?

    Besides, non-americans, i'm not the sterotypical american..i've mentioned this before. I'm not materialistic, i dont support my government at ALL, i'm not all about money (i have none, my parents are part of the working class), i dont think everyone should speak english (i learn spanish through school, russian on my own, more languages to come soon), and i dont think we are the dominant nation or should be, or think that any other nation is inferior.

    yes, thats exactly what makes you distinctively american. americans nowadays are very liberal, open, and seemingly relativistic.

    I DONT WANT TO BE THE STEREOTYPE AMERICAN. Damnit. Fine, forget everything i said, IAMALLTHOSETHINGS. If that makes me the non-stereotyped american, that is.

    Yes, you are our peons. God bless the Red, White and Blue. Hear the eagle scream!

    Squid:

    Go in the kitchen and get me a beer, bitch.

    Hey, at least there's something on besides commemorations. You should hear NPR.....nothing but tragedy stories.

    god, i know. *laughs bitterly* at one point, they even played 'this is how you remind me' by nickelback in the background while they discussed people's tragedies and whatnot. double-whammy of pain.

    I don't understand how anyone can listen to those things. This American Life was sheer hell to listen to.

    Ah well, avoid the news for a while.

    Squid:
    Well, you've had time to rest now. Get me my beer.

    *Xev looks frightened for a moment*

    Drink American beer? Sell my soul to Satan? Say nice things about Microsoft?

    Nightfall: Well, Cthulhu bless America, then.

    Considering what God did to His chosen people, I think this is best.

    "two channels & nuttin on"

    trust me when I tell you the more channels you get, the more channels you will have with the same thing on. the people who did the wtc are telling you all it could happen to you in any country. the people who did the job did it for a reason - its a moot point. this thread is
