    Yes, 9/11 was a horrible event
    But
    There's something called bloody Christmas, it was something that happened in 20-21st of Dec (extended to 31st as wel) in 1963 in Cyprus
    About 364 Turkish Cypriots and 174 Greek Cypriots were killed and thousands were displaced
    Now why am I bringing this up?
    It's like if I stopped you from celebrating Christmas bc of it (ok, I guess an AN-225 carrying a lot of stuff isn't as much celebration as Christmas, but just pretend that September 11th is RB's birthday)
    I could go into the global influence the US has, not only culturally but militarily, and my (not so positive) opinions on global superpowers as a whole, but not today
    All I'm gonna leave it as she's not celebrating the September 11 attacks, she's celebrating something else that happened on the same day, so you don't rlly have the right to tell her to stop

    Remember kids, nobody anywhere in the world can celebrate anything on 11/09, because America had a tragedy, and the world revolves around America, so if you have a birthday TOOO BAD, get over it, today you must mourn for a country you dont belong to because the knockoff British said so!!!!!!!!!!!! This is such a disrespectful post!!!!
    (In other words, dont listen to those people. You're not American, the internet isn't American, I have seen people make actual jokes about the event and have less repercussions than this one post talking about something unrelated)

    @BOSSentinel Okay that's funny.
    And do keep in mind tragedies happen daily. You just remember this one because it happened to the USA. The USA is not the world.
    Make no mistake, the 9/11 attacks were horrible, but it was 24 years ago and there comes a point that people stop treating something as the end all be all of terrible events.
    It happened, it was bad, the world sympathized, move on.

    @Graingy “today the AN-225 sets a new world record on 9/11”
    @ShinyGemsBro Who said this was about anyone? Today was a tragedy 24 years ago.

    For everyone who would think this is disrespectful
    - This isn't about you.
    - Your history isn't the only history.
