9/11, Definitely NOT the worst thing ever... Options

[MissFits]

I was watching the Discovery Channel. There was some show about Nostradamus on, and they kept mentioning 9/11. Over and over again they said "It was the worst attack..." "Most horrifying...". I can't help but to disagree, but IT WAS NOT THE WORST!! 2,993 people died in that attack. Sure, a lot of innocent lives, but what about Hiroshima?
90,000-140,000 completely innocent people died in that attack, why isn't that considered the most tragic ever? When that happened we, as Americans, were no better than the terrorists were on 9/11. I would dare say, we were much worse. What about the 72,000,000 people that died in WWII? Why isn't that worse than 9/11? Or the 40,000,000 that died in WWI? WHAT ABOUT THE 25,000 TROOPS THAT DIED AS A RESULT OF THE 9/11 ATTACK?

I hate how Americans are like the emo teenage girl that wants everyone to feel sorry for her.
There have been so many worse things than 9/11. Get your head out of your ass and take a look around you.

Well, for one the attack came as such a suprise. America wasn't at war (as with Hiroshima and Nagasaki) and then suddenly to have an unprovoked attack on one of her most iconic buildings with the catastrophic loss of life that went with it; you can understand how they say that in that instant, the world was changed.

lol you just restated what I said earlier in my posts. It's cool, though.



Same here, I don't think 9/11 should be labelled the worst. I'm sorry if I came off as someone who had American pride -- because I most certainly do not. It's because there's so much shady incidents that have happened (eh, let's not get into this) and how people are putting so much emphasis on certain incidents while neglecting others. Same goes for Katrina - it's more recent, yet it seems like people are moving on. As for international devastations - There are people out there who care about it. It's sad to say, but honestly the government has such a significant amount of influence over what is said and shown o television. That's why I say that people should not always believe what they see or hear. It's due to these kinds of publications that causes viewers to believe what they see, and suddenly everyone's talking about 9/11 as if it happened yesterday. You see what i mean?

Oh wow that was a large paragraph. But yea, I'll post more later. Sorry if some of that sounded BLAH. My brain's kinda fried right now.
