We remember silly things like Valentine's day and April Fool's day, but many people can't even remember such an important day.^so true and that teacher should be fired. how does a history teacher forget that??? we spent the whole period in my us history class watching a movie on it. |

QUOTE(krnxswat @ Dec 7 2006, 7:08 PM) - Nevermind, I'll just leave it be. No need to stirr up an arguement  Well, that's just the way we are. Remembering the insignifcant, while forgetting the significant. Humans are only fallible, and will be for as long as they exist.  You edited! But, yes, I agree with you. You basically repeated what I was getting at, so, no, it really isn't that hard to grasp.Emotionally, we can relate to how they felt. Terrorists or not. If you recall, Perl Harbor was a surprise attack. In Americans eyes at the time, it really was a type of "terrorist" attack because technically, we weren't at war with Japan yet.

Topics merged.
I didn't remember but it's not a big deal in Canada (for obvious reasons). I don't think I cared too much about it either when I still lived there but  . The movie saddened me.

You have horrible taste in movies if you think that Pearl Harbor the movie was good, or if it did the story any justice.

If that was even directed to me, I didn't say anything about the movie being good or even being historically accurate. But the truth is that it did make me sad (overall, anyway).

I think it's very sad that people don't remember this, how can you not? If you forget about it, it might happen again. It's the last "reunion" of the survivors this year. I cannot image the emotion that must fill that moment for them. They're gone but what happened to them and what they did will always remain. It's sad how we take such advantage of the things people have done in the past that have assured us a chance to be here.
Eep, deep post. |

QUOTE(iRock cB @ Dec 7 2006, 3:50 PM) Oh, I know, I agree. I was just saying that we can relate to how they felt. It's not like we're completely oblivious. But we were here on 9/11, and yet we still forget that. Americans are selfish. That's also pretty sad. -_-' Americans arent really selfish. What does selfish means to you?

People remember these events in different ways. Some will remember it as a sad thing; some will think of it as something to learn from; and some will just relate it as history (no sentiments attached). You can remember it in awe, in sadness, in jubilation, or with indifference. The point is just to remember. Should we forget, history might repeat itself.

It took me till the middle of the day to remember the significance of that day on December 7th. My Global teacher didn't even mention it till the next day.

Yes, I agree, Seon Ho, but it's better to remember how others have survived and dealt with the situation and learn from it. Knowledge builds. To be more current, kinda like how America learned from Katrina.

I agree that it could repeat it's self. But if we look back on it as a learning experience than it might not happen. And to learn from it means you remember it. Some people don't see the significance of that day but it shaped a lot of things.
