Imperialism built our economy after WWII, but oppressing so many people will cause attacks like 9/11. <br /><br />Oh yeah, Blue, grow some balls. If you can't even bear to watch a movie about a skyscraper on fire because it reminds you of 9/11, the terrorists won. It's their fucking job to make you afraid and they've pussywhipped you. <br />XYZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553633213256417629.post-29383710669194318882010-01-12T18:20:38.244-05:002010-01-12T18:20:38.244-05:00No country can grow without being imperialistic. ...No country can grow without being imperialistic. I for one think that the United States had stopped acting like that regardless, until the attacks of 9/11. But, I guarantee you that all the people complaining that the War on Terror (which, I admit, is a stupid name for a war, and too broad a term) has gone on for too long either has no idea where we are actually at war (ask a guy the next time you're in a deli exactly who we're fighting and they'll give you the name of a peoples) or were calling for war after 9/11.<br />ABCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553633213256417629.post-22747520991861833442010-01-10T20:41:24.826-05:002010-01-10T20:41:24.826-05:009/11 was a wake up call that we were running our f...9/11 was a wake up call that we were running our foreign affairs too imperialistically. We then use the attack to justify more imperialism, and unconstitutional abuses domestically.

When was this movie filmed? I know it's a remake, but you never mentioned the actual year it was remade. For all the technological horrors in this movie may have been expected in a movie made in the '90's, and that could also explain the insensitivity of the movie, reminding the audience of 9/11. However as cruel as it was, if it was indeed made after 9/11, they could have maybe been trying to use pathos to actually remind people of that horrible event. Maybe they thought that would make people like it more. Either way, they were wrong, weren't they.Jacob Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03616294721885049496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553633213256417629.post-17103113291609067532010-01-09T20:35:20.289-05:002010-01-09T20:35:20.289-05:00It's weird that 9/11 really DID change everyth...It's weird that 9/11 really DID change everything. And now, only 9 years later, we quickly forget how it impacted our lives. I remember being 9 when 9/11 happend, and how that day felt .... oddly peaceful. Then, around 9 AM, our teachers were told to turn on the TV. I looked up, saw all of what was happening, and started instanly crying. 9/11 is one of my earliest memories, and today it still gives me shivers thinking about it.Xepscernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09306711593367379226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553633213256417629.post-73170263939452016292010-01-09T19:30:43.788-05:002010-01-09T19:30:43.788-05:00Though not techniclly an "official monument,&...Though not techniclly an "official monument," there is a plaque that has the names of all the men and women who died in the World Trade Center right across the street from where the tower stood, which the City government built I think in 2003, but I'm not too sure on the exact year. It may have been as late as 2006, but I know it was there in 2007. Unsurprisingly, it's usually the quietest spot in the City.Drakenoreply@blogger.com
