well I have been shadowing this site for a while *original came here for Yahtzee* and I had to make a account just to reply to this thread.
It happened in school during biology I was a junior, it was about 3-4 hours after the towers fell on 9-11 *I remember watching it happen in my algebra 2 class, on the teachers 3 inch mini TV* well the teacher decided to let us talk about what happened as long as we stay calm and respected each others views and opinions. After a bit we started talking about the fact that the goverment was going to declare war, and the cheerleader captain seriously asked, "Why do we have to go fight them in the desert, cant they like just come here to fight the war?" I swear to god the class was just frozen for about 10mins. I looked over at my friend and he had this look of just complete awe on his face, looked at the cheerleader and said "Heather its people like you, why I have no faith in humanity anymore.". The teacher at that point just started to laugh his ass off.
