I'll pass on the moment of silence. ;)
A moment of silence is for respect , everyone should be respected who has died before theyre time. simple as that. :mellow:
then there should be a moment of scilence every 7 seconds because every 7 seconds someone dies in africa
Exactly, i'll start sheding tears for americans, when the americans start shedding tears for all the little kids dying in third world countries. [/b]
americans don't have a minutes silence for the thousands of africans who died because of poverty because of american-led capitalism on september 11th, and septemer 12th, and september 13th, and september 14th and 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, 21st and every day since then. you are very right.
however i think people are being cold. just because other tragedies have occured since and before, doesn't make this less of a tragedy for the families of the thousands of innocent people that died.
some people have said how thousands have died in iraq since then because of american foreign policy, the 3,000 that dies on 9/11 were also victims of america's foreign policy.
Americans give more in charity to the developing world than any other country.
americans give more, but that is because they can afford to. in terms of pecentages america gives very very little. 0.1% of there gdp according to bill clinton.
