I saw this on babycenter and someone did a poll about it if it should or not. I thought it was crazy. Why not make December 6th a National Holiday? That's when Pearl Harbor was bombed.

No because it'll lose it's meaning and just become another day to not to go work for barbecues and stuff. :/

National holidays are based on something worth celebrating, if I'm not mistaken. There is nothing worth celebrating about the events of September 11th. It is more of a day of remembrance than a holiday, anyway.

No, because it's a day of remembering, not celebrating.

I must say your comment was the most idiotic sentence I scan through on this site. So I must draw the conclusion that you was not conscious or caring to your fellow Muslim wrongplanet members
when you wrote this. I'm aware that you're young and by any chance you was joking; you have to consider your jokes before you say them, ( this reminds me of gay jokes everyone say they are just harmless but they promote hate.) :roll:

By a National Holiday, I assume you mean a Day of Rememberance.

A holiday is something you celebrate. Why would you celebrate 9/11?

You obviously can't understand sarcasm, which I can understand given your lack of comprehension with your previous incarnations

"Sarcasm is “a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark; a bitter jibe or taunt"

Hard to find a reason to celebrate such a day, its a nightmare even after 9 years, I can't imagine what was going though peoples minds seeing this first hand
