Sorry, I don't support ideas like patriotism. Things like Purl Harbor and 9/11 have about as much value to me as the amount of attention I deligate to the millions of people who die every day, for various reason, which is very little. One day I will die. One day you will die. The world spins on. {edit>>> "There is hopeful symbolism in the fact that flags do not wave in a vacuum." ~Arthur C. Clark Ahhh, yes. Because understanding/comprehending history equates to being "patriotic." Perhaps not, but can you tell me the date the pompeii eruption occured, off the top of your head? Also, when was the last time that the date of pompeii or other natural disasters, such as Mount Saint Hellen, was posted on this forum? Who here wants to bet me that the OP is an American who was feeling very patriotic when he/she posted the OP. do you really expecte to believe that this thread was posted for purely acedemic reasons?
You obviously aren't American. We not ony remember these days as an event where many people died, but also as a time when malicious individuals threatened our country. Pearl Harbor was an act of war on America that not only threatened the lives of many Americans, but also threatened the American vision, ideals, and freedoms. 9/11 was an act of terrorism with the same intent. Patriotism is an amazing thing in that it can allow a country to come together in times of hardship to overcome anyone who threatens your way of life. I feel genuinely sorry for you that you do not live in a country with such strong moral support and perseverance.

I feel genuinely sorry for you that you do not live in a country with such strong moral support and perseverance. I actually don't consider myself to be an american. I consider myself a citizen of the Earth/Milkyway/universe. But, if you were to take a look at my birth certificated, you would indeed find that I was born in the USA. And my driver's license would show that I live in AZ. Regardless of popular opinion not all Americans are complete morrons.
You remind me of that one church who protests the funerals of fallen Americans. They protest and show blatant disrespect for these people at their funerals simply because they're American. They've protested the funerals of fallen soldiers, fallen firemen, and even young kids who were brutally murdered at a school shooting. They show their distaste directly to the people holding at the funerals who are remembering their loved ones. I think you would fit perfectly alongside those protestors, maybe not because you have anti-American ideals (it's hard to tell), but because you dislike how the people at the funeral aren't holding the funeral for the hundreds of billions of humans who have ever died. They are simply remembering the loved ones they hold dearest to their hearts.
On a side note, why do you live in in the United States if you think most Americans are morons? What makes America better tha any other given country to you?
