I have to agree with you. I couldn't ever find it annoying, in fact I still get upset every year when I'm reminded just how terrible it was. I was only in 8 when it happened, but I was in school watching the live coverage and remember it just as clearly today. I remember crying watching the news because I just didn't understand why so many lives had to be taken or how people could be so "mean". (That's how I was thinking about it then, that the people flying the planes were mean)

FTR, Pearl Harbor Day was still celebrated every year when I was a kid. It was still a HUGE deal for decades and commemorated every year for decades. It hasn't been forgotten. But, it's comparing apples and oranges. Pearl Harbor was a Military Installation and Hawaii wasn't even part of the United States when it happened. The Twin Towers and the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania were attacks on innocent civilians and happened ON American soil. Two completely different things. Not to be "compared."
If 9/11 is so "annoying" to you, don't turn the freakin' TV on that day. It's easy to avoid, if you can unplug for 24 hours.
Sorry the deaths of so many was so irritating to you. I'm sure the dead people and their families and friends feel bad about it, too. My guess is they feel a hell of a lot more than "annoyance" about the whole thing. These commemorations mean a lot to those who lost loved ones. If you don't care for this stuff, it's fairly simple to stay away from. One doesn't have to be plugged into technology 24/7.
Makes my point in an other thread about people becoming desensitized to the suffering of other human beings. Sheesh. less

Although I have to admit I am not fond of feeling so sad whenever all the stuff comes around on 9/11. I don't want it to ever die down though. I want my kids one day to be able to watch the stuff on TV about it. I don't want them to only hear about it in history class. It's a sad part of our history that the future kids of America need to be aware off. The heroes that day also never need to be forgotten.
If anything is "annoying", it's the fact that 9/11 happened in the first place. This is our country and our home. Whatever hurts it hurts me.
