"ground-zero" has got to stop.

 

I am 100% behind you there..... WTH is that all about anyway??

 

I'm not a fan of the term 'collatoral damage' (I think that's how you spell it).

 

Looks like Porsche will have to change the name of their car (911).

 

I personally don't like "America Strikes Back" - the news uses it alot...sounds too much like Star Wars - and guess who looks like the bad guy?

 

I believe the "9-11" designation is popular in part due to it's similarity to "911" which you would call for an emergency. There is no doubt that these terrorist attacks were the greatest "emergency" we have faced as a country since the Gulf War. When you hear of someone calling '911" you know the "sheit" is hitting the fan............I just think people kind of saw it that way. It's not so much the date as the representation of the numbers to an emergency.......the date is purely coincidental.............

 

'post whore' has got to stop

 

The one I don't like is "America's New War." It sounds like America is a toddler that just got a big, bright, shiny new Tonka truck. Wait a minute...
