I got an idea! Lets make anniversary thread about every single war, revolutions, genocides, natural disasters, rebellions, terrorist attacks, everything! Families are still mourning about it, over millions of lives were lost and it marked a piece of our history am I right? How come Sept 11 which only lost 2,900 people is more special here compared to the holocaust which lost ~12 million people? Why oh why... :rolleyes: The Holocaust is remember everyday, there are countless memorials all around the World along with the month of April dedicated to the remembrance of the Holocaust. So are you going to try and tell me the Holocaust isn't remember? Natural disasters are remember also, hurricane Katrina is usually brought up a couple times a year with specials and what not on TV. September 11 isn't the only deadly event that is remembered. There is also more to September 11 then the actual attacks themselves as affected the entire World. You may disagree, but could you honestly say the past tens years would have happened the same had the attack not happened? So a 10 years would be more important than 11 years? We created the term anniversary, but it's pretty much meaningless; it's just a round number. No, but culturally we treat 5th and 10th anniversaries at higher regards for publicity. Are you more likely to attend the 199th anniversary of Oktoberfest or the 200th anniversary (Yes, I know that've both have already passed)? Personally I'd be more incline to attend the 200th rather the 199th because you know it's going to be done up a lot more despite the beer being the same both years. (probably wasn't the best analogy but oh-well)
