"Never Forget" vs. "Always Remember"....the propaganda of phrases..

[matmar]

To me, "Never Forget" has a tone of nastiness - a negative, vengeful frame. Whereas "Always Remember" is a more solemn, graceful and respecting frame.

Other than that on this 10th anniversay of 9/11, what the country has done since that date up until now (regarding foreign policy) couldn't be more disrespectful to the memory of those lost on that day

1. You say what I think.

Which is why I can't bring myself to watch these ceremonies.

There's an exploitative, pro-military tinge to everything I see.

[Ilsa]

2. "Never Forget" is almost an angry accusation.

You're correct: "Always Remember" is a more gracious exhortation.

[JHB]

3. Well, just remember where "Never Forget" came from...

...and it wasn't 9/11. Rather, something over 50 years earier.
Wasn't much call to be gracious about that.

4. I Will Always Remember The People That Died That Day & I'll Never Forget That This Happened Under...

Bush's watch after he ignored the PDB and PNAC suggested a 'new Pearl Harbor' to carry out their plan.

[WingDinger]

5. Never Forget is a commercial brought to you by the military industrial complex.

[Lucian]

6. We well never forget and always remember because the media will be there...

telling us every damn year what happened.

Until it's been bastardized and beaten down.

Oh, wait.

7. You're never going to get people to support invading foreign countries with a phrase like "always ..

remember".

This isn't Hallmark.
