Guest HBK16 Report post Posted September 3, 2002 If anything. My school made a huge huge flag with all 50 states on it. We will have a ceremony on Friday with guest speakers like a fire fighter that will be flying in from New York and a few more than have not been mentioned. The Phoenix fire and police department will also be there and news crews of course. I think it will be kinda cool. Only half of the school is chosen to go to the ceremony and I was chosen so I am kinda excited to go. But the flag with then be flown to New York and be hung there somwhere so when you see a flag with all 40 states flags you will know it came from my school from Phoenix.

Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted September 3, 2002 I'm not in school anymore nor do I work, but I will be FLYING on September 11th, to Washington of all places. I hate the reason why it's cheap to fly that day, but it was the best opportunity to finally go on my Graduation present trip. The New York leg of the trip was nixed due to costs.

Guest Marshall Report post Posted September 3, 2002 I wouln't fly on that day. I don't anything will happen, but it would just be wierd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted September 3, 2002 Hey, at least I'll have plenty of room to stretch out on the plane and run around the airports with so few people around.

Guest HBK16 Report post Posted September 3, 2002 I wouln't fly on that day. I don't anything will happen, but it would just be wierd. I wouldn't either. There will be way too much security but still it would be very weird to fly on that day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Will Scarlet Report post Posted September 3, 2002 I know I probably would fly that day. I figure that flight would be cheaper, and the security would probably ultra tight, so it would probably mean a safe trip. That would be a plus. As for what my school is doing, probably nothing. I am in Canada. Last year, when it happened, I had to go to my Technology & Values class anyway. It was kind of weird going to class on that day though. Everything seemed so normal on campus and such, meanwhile, in the US, everything seemed to be mass chaos and fear. It was a weird feeling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Breetai Report post Posted September 4, 2002 I'm gonna shed a tear for the large amount of totally innocent civillians killed in Afghanistan (more than were killed last 9/11 in America), reflect on how the supposed "good guys" with superior technology are more destructive of innocents when they try not to be than when the "bad guys" don't give a fuck, laugh at the irony of Bush setting up yet another shaky puppet reigime like he did in the 80's which PAVED THE WAY for the taliban, not to mention the fact that Bin Laden was CIA FUCKING TRAINED, and bemoan the unconstitutional way that Dubya is protecting freedom from the outside by eroding it on the inside.

Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted September 4, 2002 My school will do nothing, which is normal. However, I'm sure lots of people will stay home to protest just like last year when we didn't get Martin Luther King Day off. However, most likely there will not be people walking around in homemade KKK outfits, so it won't be quite the same. Those were good times man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheRockIsTheEuropeanChampion Report post Posted September 4, 2002 My school will do nothing, which is normal. Mine too. Though, as far as I know, no one around here has walked around dressed as KKK members.. Though they don't know who Martin Lurther King even was, basically. I don't really know why our school would do something, anyway. I see all this false sentiment and I question the motives of some of these jerks... Uhm, hell, anyway. Personally, I'm probably going to be paranoid all day of just.. anything.. happening. Dunno why, but uh... Yeah. That's me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted September 4, 2002 You're lucky you sang that or people would be pissed at you. When I was a kid I said the government could blow me too. Of course, as I got older I learned that the government and I really have nothing to do with each other, and so now I don't care. I still don't vote though. ~RaGe AgAiNsT tHe MaChInE~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest HBK16 Report post Posted September 4, 2002 My school is always doing ceremonies for stuff like this. I mean we have one if someone dies even if they didn't go to the school or anything. Some teachers and students even traveled to New York last year to interview a bunch of firefighter and even the mayor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dames 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2002 Being unemployed and not in school, I can't really answer that. However, I know that day, I'll probably try to keep my composure as I still have nightmares of that day. For those of you who didn't know, I was a fucking eyewitness to the entire debacle that day and it was probably the worst day of my life....and I didn't even lose someone. I can just imagine those that did. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted September 4, 2002 For those of you who didn't know, I was a fucking eyewitness to the entire debacle that day and it was probably the worst day of my life....and I didn't even lose someone. I can just imagine those that did. Dames No shit, Dames? Wow. Even after a year, you are the first person I've heard personally who said they actually saw all that happen. I don't know what I'd do if I were there, probably the same thing I did watching it on TV, sit there in awe, occasionally saying "...fuck..." After it sort of sunk in a little, I got amazingly blazed and listened to World Coming Down, by Type O. I'll probably do the same thing on wednesday, just because. I remember being on campus that day, and that afternoon I went walking around, because it was gorgeous outside, and the ENTIRE CAMPUS was dead fucking silent. There were people out and about and everything, but there was NO ONE talking loudly at all, and I didn't even hear any stereos blaring, which was fucking eerie as hell for Ball State, which usually has this constant hum of distant chatter and bass rumbling from cars and the dorms.

Guest Leena Report post Posted September 4, 2002 Nothing will be done about it where I work. I really hope I don't have to do anything on 9/11 in any of my classes. I understand doing things like to show respect, but everyone knows what happened, we've grieved, and I think it's better just to forget and move on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HBK16 Report post Posted September 4, 2002 I am glad I wasn't an eyewitness. It destroyed me enough just seeing on TV. I don't know how I would have reacted seeing all that in person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
