I don't know if it's "ok". You're the only one who can determine whether it's "ok".
What I do know is that those planes crashed in the WTC on Sept 11, and on Sept 12, I heard/read the first jokes about it.
It's human nature to laugh at absolutely horrible things. I don't know if it's "ok" but that's the way it is. The sooner you accept it, the better.

Let's add this one up, shall we?

Terrorist = person who wants to cause terror, presumably.

Now, some Terrorists fly into a large building because some pussies on a plane don't stop them.

Terrorist + Weapon = BOOM!

Now, we've got two buildings, symbols of America, destroyed. So what, now, is the "correct" reaction?

Is it:

A) Stand there and go "OMG OMG OMG... OMG!"
B) Make some stupid "security enhancements" at airports, causing it to become marginally more difficult to get a knife on a plane.
C) Make so much of a stink that no one can use the abbreviation "WTC" anymore, video games have to be changed in order to avoid offending anyone, "911" is no longer just an emergency number, people have to change merchandise because "it reminds them of the tragedy", etc.
D) All of the above!
E) Repair, rebuild, and get on with life.

Freedom of speech is the basic freedom of humanity. When you've lost that, you've lost everything.

Sadly, F is the option a lot of Americans would go for. Including the American government.

I just read about Waco. That was pretty rough.

Actually, I was seeing kind of a trend in the letters. That's kind of what happened in order from A-H.

It all comes down to your true motive, really. Are you trying to encourage people to give up an unnecessary burden, or are you trying to troll?
The point was while each person reacts to things differently, you must acknowlege the event as tragic, and understand that there are people who are not over it yet, and you should at least try to respect them in this sence. You wouldn't go up to a newly recovered alchoholic and ask him out to a pub. It's a matter of decency.

Sick, but smart because of the way you thought of it.

Still sick though.

Dlink, go outside, find a girl, have some fun, please.

Stop banging on endlessly about a harmless joke. Find it offensive? Don't open the thread, don't get all worked up and don't reply. Go elsewhere.

I actually thought the thread was another flash type thing, that's why I clicked on it, and as for the girl, ask idiot about that.

I think the Tetris pic is funny.

My personal opinion is that America should

a> Blame Bush
b> Write a mimo to Osalma in forming him that what happened
was "somewhat fucked up"
c> Live the rest of our Democratic lives with rose colored
glasses



this is called the KERRY SOLUTION

Its fact, not an assumption. You would know that if you didnt spend every waking moment on this forum.

If it was Sadamm, Bush started the war for oil and a push on the upcoming election. The whole "Weapons of Mass Destruction" search was bullshit because Dubya's daddy sold Sadamm the womd to go to war with Iran (hint:There is no WOMD.)

If it was Osama, then he did it because Bush fucked them over with the Oil Pipeline deal that was supposed to go from Texas to Afganistan...Get your facts straight man, Bush and his daddy are the biggest terrorists of them all...

There was going to be an oil pipline from Afganistan to Texas? Whoa. That'd be cool...

Just who the fuck are you to tell me that? You have no fuckin idea of my life at all. All you know about me is that I spend about an hour a day on these boards (active time) posting my thoughts having some fun.

Regardless of that, I don't have to justify anything to you or any other asshole in the world. What I said to you was a joke because you took my original joke seriously. Maybe you missed the laughing smilie?

Bush started a war to get oil or influence the election? What kind of bullshit is that? We are not taking any oil and starting a war most times ruins a politicians popularity. I aint even gonna comment on the other lunacy.

Not in this case, because people think its justified. They think "Oh George W. is doing a great job gettin those damn terrorists!"

When you made that comment I took it seriously..Unless it said just joking or had a smile, it gives the impression that you meant it the way it was put..I barely come here and dont know what that smiley means, so I looked and it said blah..no need to take such offence from a simple comment made from someone over the internet...

And that "lunacy" I said is true..look it up, read a book, do research or something..

The French must hate us for diminishing their oil supply. True though as we are not getting oil from Iraq to my knowledge. Anyone care to fill us in on the details as to where their oil is going?

I'm Back?
