Game Forum / Simulators / Car Simulators / September 2005GOD BLESS USA 9/11
LET US NEVER FORGET GOD BLESS AMERICA The 9th. of November???? BK > LET US NEVER FORGET GOD BLESS AMERICA In the USA we use the month/date format :) <todd_wasson@performancesimulations.com> wrote... > In the USA we use the month/date format :) He knows, he was just fishing for someone to state the obvious. The real put-down will follow now. Take it away, Bruce... Jan. ;-)) =--- Ah, ok :-) Oh yes...of course! :) The National Geographic channel had a 4-hour special program aired here (Australia) last night about the 11th. September (11/9 :) ) horror. I am usually in bed no later than 10:30, as I get up at 5:15 each morning, but last night I watched the documentary through to the end, which was about midnight. I could not tear myself away, it was so well put together and so sensitively produced. The shock of what happened has not been lessened by the passing of four years. Bruce > In the USA we use the month/date format :) Indeed it was horrible. Quite frightening when it happened as well as for some time after that. I was worried for awhile being in public places with the possibility of suicide bombers and so on showing up. Just didn't know what might happen next. I'm not sure if you and other folks outside the USA are aware of this, but the date 9/11 is particularily significant because that is our police/medical/fire emergency telephone number. Yeah, I think most of we who watch TV would be familiar with 911. It's "Triple-Oh" (000) here and, I think, 999 in Britain.

Ah, ok. It was eerie when I realized the date. Went out and had a smoke break and talked with some coworkers and pointed it out, then came back in and couldn't help but notice the towers were no longer there. Unreal... 0 will get you an operator here (at least it used to be that way; not sure if it still is). I wonder what happens with 000. Three operators? :-D >Yeah, I think most of we who watch TV would be familiar with 911. >It's "Triple-Oh" (000) here and, I think, 999 in Britain.

Stupid f.cks, 9/11 isn't something to celebrate, it's something to be mourned and considered introspectively.. it's not a f.cking national holiday that you can beat off to. > The shock of what happened has not been lessened by the passing of four > years. Yeah, and also Katrina. The American media only cares about ratings and nothing else. Katrina has been dominating the airwaves, so much so that it has totally engulfed September 11, 2001. I don't watch a whole lot of television, just some sports and maybe a talk show every now and then. Even though, you can't help but notice that the media has seen a gold mind for ratings with this Katrina stuff. I sincerely doubt the media (most of them, however) care a rats you know what about the poor in Mississippi. They pretend as if they care only because it boosts ratings. Plain and simple. In a word, television sucks. (Make that in two words.) Alanb |
