After all if the wiki was made on 14 April, would that be disrespectful to the people who sank on the Titanic in 1912? Or if it was made on December 22 be disrespectful to the death of John F Kennedy in 1963?

I don't want to sound insensetive to our American members here but in hundred or so years time 9/11 would be of lesser rememberence to how people recall Titanic and John F Kennedy today. Though not saying such tragedies in the past are any less insignificant and sorry for those who suffered from those losses. I am not American either but a lot of people that I know always get mad when other people celebrate a special day on 9/11 or other tragic days. By the way I did not want to offend/criticize  User:Guess Who I was just wondering. I think it's best to at least hold rememberance for awhile than to put the entire day about it. Even on Remembrance Day we have a two-minute moment of silence on the 11th hour.

Meanwhile airports are ridiculously strict with security, government tapping phones and bugging civilian EMails, police raids and oppression and all that... That isn't freedom, that fear, so terrorism pretty much had it's way.

Again not being disrespectful, thats actually a shared oppinion to another american friend of mine elsewhere. Dang guys, no need to turn this thread into despair and sorrow. Yeah, it's not the best date to celebrate our wikiversary, but we wanted to celebrate it on that day. It was just a bad coincidence that our wiki was formed on 9/11.
