at 2.30pm all our pupils and staff stopped to pause as we remembered those who lost their lives 8 years ago ~ most of the pupils were too young to remember, but the adults amongst us this silence was very poiniant as we remembered that time stood still as the world was shook to the core and remembering the dedication of the people and emergency services at all sites that proved all too close particularly for those who lost someone that awful day in our history, the day we would all like to blot out and the images we will never erase |

9/11 effected my life and those of my family, there is nothing wrong with remembering, respecting but I think like with all disasters its time the world moved on. |

your right in some respects Hayley but it has also brought out some good I hate the thought not only of the lives lost because of this war on terror I also hate what its done to our poor lads who have lived through the horrors or it but it would never have been acceptable to allow this to happen again and again and do nothing the good I see is that we ordinary folk have more regard for human life and respect for fellow man |

No we haven't learned a thing through any of the momentous times in history. We didn't learn through all the wars - we've only learned to fight "better". Better weapons, better strategies. We didn't learn with Hitler - evil people have still been allowed to gain power which has in turn led to more wars. |

War is stupid but its surely the only way to stop these people it scares me how many more lives are taken because of it but I often think how many are they preventing being taken ~ all life is sacred |
