the events of 9/11 did not upset me.

I was a foreign exchange student in 01-02, in Goshen, IN. There was some sort of service on the football field instead of a class, where they commemorated the event and sang 'God bless America'. I told one of my teachers that I wasn't going. She stared at me for a few seconds, and looked as if she wanted to punch me in the face. Then she told me I had to go to the detention center, where I was joined by a couple of Mexicans and my friend, who needed to study for a test.
I still stand by my decision, but these days I can see myself going anyway, out of respect. But at that time I had to hear >50% of the people I ran into tell me it was an act of God, to punish people for straying away from being a good Christian. One person actually said 'it's the blue states' fault'. Enough is enough.
And I agree with the argument that there are a lot more important events going on in the world. Flame away.

wow - this is the most disrespectful thing I have heard in a long time. I think your a complete ass for being so disrespectful unprovoked. As a forgien guest, if you cant at least stand on a field where God Bless American is being sung because of a horrible terrorist attack, get the [censored] out of America.
