    recall some memories you had during certain points of history, controversial or not.

    2012 Auroua Shooting: was listening to azelia banks - liquorience (her best song don't quote me) while playing that one teenick mmo game where you created your own character (real ones remember)

    2011 Concords Release: asleep bc i'm not a coon and didn't want to get arrested and trambled on.

    Bernie Mac's Death: On Vacation at Wild Adventures Theme Park in Valdosta, GA. Was our last day and heard on the news packing up.

    Ordinary Joel's Obliteration On Deadpool: had just woke up from a nap and had a sub sandwich before i logged in.

    9/11: a stroller waiting for my sister to be picked up in the front office while she was on lockdown in her 5th grade class

    I don't know what's worse, the moment or what you were doing when it happened

    9/11: i was in second grade in upstate new york and we had to close the school because our reservoir spills into nyc so they were afraid of their water supply getting bombed it was nuts. I saw the reports on the library's tv and the all the teachers were crying and we were all so confused it was nuts.

    9/11 - I was on my couch wondering why the f--- some americunts had invaded my morning cartoons to show their buildings get demolished.
    the day after I wondered the same thing. Deadset, f---ing pieces of s--- aired this s--- for like 4 days straight. and not like, just on news channels, every channel was replaced by twin towers news. f--- you.

    You're 24, you didn't own a couch in 2001 and you probably still don't.

    i was in elementary school when 9/11 happened

    don't remember what grade specifically, but they sent us all home shortly after, and I remember sitting in front of the TV in the living room at home the rest of the day, not really knowing what was happening, and but occasionally glancing up at the news coverage while I sorted pokemon cards in a binder on the floor

    How old are you? I have a pretty vague memory of our elementary school teacher gathering us all at the front of the class to explain to us what had just happened.

    It's pretty much the "go to" major event when talking about historical moments. Even for people not from the states. Well unless someone here is 85 and can tell us about WW2 lol.
