How has September 11 changed you?

Now, five years later how has 9-11 changed you? It has personally made me more aware of my surroundings. Anytime I get on a subway in a city or go to a huge sporting event you better believe I pay attention to the people around me. I guess I'm just more aware that it can happen, when I go to UT football games it hits me the most. Over 100K in one place, can you imagine the death toll of an attack there? It's never stopped me from going to an event or living my life but it's on my mind.

I know what you mean. I remember being the the Bristol race the Sunday after we started bombing Afghanistan. It was emotional, and patriotic, but also you always had that "what if" idea in your head considering you were a part of the largest concentration of people to gather since we started our attack.

160,000 people waving Old Glory is pretty sweet though.

It made me hate terrorists/extremists a heck of alot more.

No impact at all on me.

It should have had an impact on everybody that cares about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. because thats what the terrorists were intending to take from us. they took some of the first one but they will never take the last two.

You and me both. When the time comes for me to die it will. I wont let something like that scare me up! Live life while you have it. The terrorists want us scared and I refuse to give them the satisfaction!

Dont take me wrong. My heart does go out to those that died and their families.

No way it couldn't have an effect on everyones life.I just don't see how anyone couldn't realise that one day it could all be gone.How could you be with your own family and not think about all the people that lost family that day?My heart goes out to each and everyone that lost a loved one that day.
