I dont know. It doesnt seem a network would air people simply reading a list of names. Maybe they did intend it that way, maybe they didnt. If the people reading are somehow connected to or lost lives on 9/11, I give them leeway to express their feelings.

I would not personally use tragedy for politics, but I have even seen POTUS do it. It is in bad taste. It could also be how some people mourn their personal loss.

I was going to post something today as a reminder.
I decided to wait and see if anyone remembered.
Few do.

I lost nobody I personally knew that day but when I watched it on the news I was horrified. Such a terrible loss of life.

There are children in high school right now that will never have that memory. They are fortunate. I hope they never get to have that kind of memory.

May We NEVER Forget

First of all we are not talking about Trump so leave him out of this...ok..for once..please

Secondly the network has been doing this every year since 9-11 ( reading the names)
3rd
It is family of those killed who are the ones reading the names
4th . And Year after year that what they do. Read the names . Giving the respect that is due. That is it. Read the names

With the exception of these 2 characters this year

And NO..nobody had the right to deviate from what was asked of them and insert their views..be the views right or wrong into a memorial for the dead . Nobody.

That is NOT the place to do it

No class

The scar is not healed here. In this area. I don't think it ever will be.
It is actually thought of as sacred ground . If that makes any sense

Well, it does to me.

A memorial service is supposed to be a memorial service.
It is the reason for the service, to remember those that are no longer with us. Its not about anything else. PERIOD

What I think should happen is that all proceeds gained from the memorial service should go to the families of the people being memorialized by the service. But, that's just my opinion.

People should treat all memorial services like it is a service for their mother, father, son, daughter, brother, sister that is being remembered.
It doesn't matter that it is televised or transmitted via radio or internet. Its about the people's loss of cherished loved ones and remembering the lives they affected.

What's next, bumper stickers on the Vietnam War Memorial?

So I'm watching the 9-11 memorial program. They have different people reading the names of the ones killed.

That is all they have to do, just read the names. But 2 black ladies take that opportunity to not only read the names but denounce racism

Why?..why take away from this memorial service to others to force others to hear your words

What gives someone the right to do that?

Even the 9-11 memorial service seems fair play for those who have no class
[/quote. Funny how most of the threads you start or respond to seem to be about race ! Your realy showing your "true colors" .

I started 2 threads in 4 months..

One on the violence in Chicago and one on the 9-11 memorial service . And do I have a problem with both. Yep I do..and with the people doing it. Ya Don't like that?..then Don't read my posts. Easy enough.

And your posts?..where are they.. Hmmm.

You see nothing wrong with what is happening in Chicago?
You see nothing wrong with someone using a 9-11 service as their personal soapbox?..or you just Don't like when people call it the way it is. Why..because I'm white and they are black?...I am not supposed to talk about it.. sorry not happening
Need more clarification..drop me a line. I'm not hard to find

And had you actually been around for awhile you would have seen my posts on the school shooters..skinheads. the mob, ect,ect ect .so you should research abit before you make comments

Seems people have forgotten that. There's a time and place for everything. A memorial for lives lost that has nothing to do with it is not it.

People were also taking selfies on this day at the memorial site.
Smiling and grinning all over the place.

Classless

This was discussed on the "TALK" today.

I've seen that memorial service shown on tv which they do every years. The people just read a name and that's it. It's very serious and quiet. I've been to the site once, in person maybe around 14 years ago. It was still a mess at the time, but people had left so many things there out of respect.
