and so does StreetHazard.
Now you know how it feels.

wow, you are more stupid than you put off. Your people weren't dragged to the US bitch, they came on their own free will. The majority of you italians were fucking criminals, so it made it bad for the others which is why it was had for them to get jobs. Wrong areas for crackers because you was in the hood maybe, dumbass. 1 death is import as others, don't worry when someone close to you dies you might understand.
Like I said before, the thread's subject matter is definitely in poor taste.
That I will not dispute.
I wouldn't and couldn't make fun of something that affected people in pretty significant ways.
However, my issue lies in the fact that nothing is offlimits during any other time on this forum so why should this be?
It's ok to talk shit about blacks and mexicans..
It's ok to talk about raping females.
It's ok to talk about killing the president of this country.
It's ok to joke about the Holocaust.
It's ok to joke about molesting young girls.
Why the fuck is this any different?
I agree with nemesis. This thread is just totally wrong. This is one thing i wouldnt ever want anyone to crack jokes about. so many people have died because of this. and i truly dont think that doing this is a good way of remembering what happened. and how many have sacraficed there lives so that you can sit on the computer and live in a free country...
Just because this is still so fresh in my mind and alot of others. It isn't the same as a racist joke or a rape joke.
Maybe in 50 years people who knew nothing of it or had no ties to it will find the humor in it like the holocaust and slavery. Time makes things different.
But to me showing pictures of 9/11 in a joking way is just over the line.
I'm headed out, and most likely won't be returning to this thread because it isn't going anywhere. It's beating a dead horse. You know how I feel, I know how people don't care. That's it.
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Nemesis again.Quote:

Do you celebrate or remember the Holocaust? I'm going to guess no. Why? Only because it didn't personally affect you—but trust me, thousands of people died because of it.
NOW remember, we have moved away from the joke discussion. I am not condoning it and my only mention of it was to maybe bring some insight to the possible "why". So don't get on my case about that.
Is showing your so called patriotism a few days out of the year really being patriotic?
Pffffffffffffffffffffft.
Probably because we werent around when it happened. News and reporting has changed a lot since then and how video is delivered. 9/11 happened not that long ago and in an age of information/video transmitted faster than one could even imagine. Im not surprised that more people are affected in an offset personal way than the Holocaust. Both being horrible events in our world history.
mark your calendars. in a few years it will be ok to joke about this...

I guess patriotism fuels people to call the president a n!gger, etc and wish harm on him.
Woooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooo. Patriotism!!!!
Am I going to get bashed for posting these pictures?!
God I hope so.
As I stated 2 times now—I am not and have not been talking about the joke. I have been talking about remembering it on a different day.
My comments about relativism were tailored to GF because he was calling people names for thinking everyone should not be remembered for their lives (in retort to my comments)—only this particular day and his reasoning was because HE KNEW people who died in the tragedy. No other reason was given, only a personal one. Relativism.
I personally don't think we should remember the tragic day. I think we should remember another special day which goes back to relativism. Remember the person YOU knew on a special day that YOU TWO SHARED—not the day of their tragic death.
But sine my thoughts are way off topic for this thread and are getting confused with being in favor of the joke. I will recede. I have a final to go take anyways. Peace.
Ok so saying this.. then NO ONE has a right to make fun of blacks or jews because to me those should be national tragadys too... 3,000 people died here (not saying that isnt bad)..6 MILLION JEWS DIED (yes family members of mine did die).. and MILLIONS of Blacks were killed too.. Im not saying I agree with yousef on this.. but he wasnt doing it in a malicous way.
This is going no where fast.
Ive never met anyone personally that "denys" the Holocaust ever happening. I find the idea really ignorant. BUT, that is a topic taking things in a totally different direction. I dont think anyone here is denying 9/11 happening heh. Unless you're a conspiracy theorist.
EVERYTHING about this entire thread is funny to me, just the sheer amount of complete butthurt that is going on is epic in its hilarity, I can almost *see* angry fists being shaken at monitors and hands twitching so badly they can barely type. Please save it so I know my time wasnt completely wasted :D

2. made you laugh so hard you want to shit blood
