10 year anniversary of Jerry Falwell and Pat Robinson blaming 9/11 on America's acceptance of gays.

Joel isn't really a cynic, just being realistic. They both look at football differently, but as redeadening said it makes a good match.

Nah, Joel is definitely cynical. He's like the Pyro of the football forums. He and I are complete opposites.

I wonder how much coverage the anniversary of the massacre in Norway will get in America. I'd be willing to bet little to none.

As much coverage as whatever the Brits call the subway bombings, I can't be bothered to remember the date.

Really dude?

With all possible respect to the people that died in Norway, you can't see why a terrorist attack where somebody flew planes into two of the most famous landmarks in the world in downtown Manhattan and completely destroyed both of them (and tried to destroy two more) and killed almost 3,000 people would get more anniversary coverage than a bombing that killed 8 people? Really? Can you use a little common sense? It's the deadliest terrorist attack of all time by a SIGNIFICANT margin and it's also by far the one that required the most planning to pull off. It's basically still unprecedented in terms of terrorist attacks. Of course it's going to get the most coverage.

69 people were also shot and killed that day. It was a pretty tragic incident. Of course it doesn't compare to 9/11, but it would be nice if people in the US knew more about it.

My bad. Didn't read the wiki close enough. No disrespect intended.

It was all over the news here for weeks after it happened. I'm pretty sure everyone knows about it.
