I agree. Trying to lighten the mood is fine, but when it starts to disrespect the families of those directly effected by it, or disrespect anyone for that matter, a line has been seriously crossed

im happy someone said something about this. i mean, at first some of the things said are kinda funny and clever but they're just cruel and hurtful when you really realize what they are talking about

This goes for everything joked about on this site: the Holocaust, Hiroshima, 9/11, everything.

Seriously...who are you to say get over it. Im sure you were not personally affected by it, Im sure you did not lose anyone to this attack. But what I am sure of is that you are an ignorant asshole who is being insensitive to a topic that shouldnt be talked about as something to "get over"...

To the person who wants to get over it, fine, you can get over it. That's your choice but it's our choice to still remember the day for what happened. Years on we still remember the holocaust. This isn't any different: lives were taken unneccesarily. For some reason it cut off the rest of my post. What I said was I still remember waking up (I'm Australian so I saw it the following morning) and I remember being completely horrified. If you still remember how you felt and where you were the fact that 9 years has passed means nothing.

(Kateey.): You can rememberwhat happened and pay your respects to those who lost their lives and get over it at the same time. It was a tragic event that occurred nine years ago. I really don't think people should still be that sensitive about it. Hell, it seems to me the only reason anyone is so sensitive about the subject right now is because of what day it is. 9/11 jokes happen year-round. But it's taboo to make a 9/11 joke on 9/11? What's up with that?

the amount of time that has passed doesnt and probably wont ever matter...this one one of the most horrifying days for America and its not something you easily let go. Put yourself in the shoes of those immediately affected by it and then say we are being too sensitive.

Personally, I HATE all the media attention. Its hard enough as it is, now add on every other channel talking about it, showing clips. Every newpaper talking about this memorial that rememberance this that blah blah blah. Every magazine. Posters. Internet adds. Its like hey, thanks for skipping the salt and straight up throwing acid in the wounds.

I calculate when it's okay to make jokes about tragedies like this; If more days have gone by than how many people died in the incident it's okay. With 9/11 almost 3000 people died and 3285 days have gone by since then so it's okay now.

My idea of it is that everyone not affected through the loss of a family member or friend has the choice to get over it. Those affected probably think about it more often than not. And it's not something I think about day to day but every 9/11 I guarantee people mourn the loss of their loved ones. And I think all the people not affected personally should show their respect by not making lame jokes.

I lost my dad in 9/11 and I would appreciate if people stopped making jokes about it. If they do, I just try to ignore then. So thank you Kateey, ibetterbright007, 563218 and its just not cool. Memorials are there because you know you can't just forget about around 3,000 people's deaths. Everyday after 9/11 nine years ago, people came in hopes that their familiy, friends or just even strangers came out alive. Even the remains of them were alright. Joke about it if you want to. But I'm pretty sure that there are a lot of people out there who will take it offensively, and they have every right to. Do you joke about your friends' relatives deaths? Like haha traffic accident, hope that's not me? No. Especially if you don't even know them. Do you joke about firefighters' deaths? No. They saved people. They deserve to be remembered also. So why is it okay to make fun of 9/11? Do it if you want to. I'm sure there are some people who will laugh. But the ones who cry or disa...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Disagree, there's nothing wrong with them. I wouldn't laugh if your boyfriend, best friend or brother died. It'd be nice if you could extend the same courtesy towards others, whether it's the holocaust, 9/11, or anything.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Some of those people who lost their lives are real heros. Don't you dare disrespect the memories of them. I know people who were personally affected and they can't forget that. Respect them. Lost loved ones is the worst thing in this world. Let's not joke about it. RIP everyone who died. Thank you. You really are all heros. America is in debt to you.

I have to disagree. It's not about disrespecting the people who lost their lives, trying to be hurtful or being an asshole. It's about moving on and creating a medium of grief. People have always, and always will, make jokes about horrible events, wether it's the holocaust or slavery and despite how sensitive the subject may be, you can't let situations like these become a giant stick in the wheel of human nature. And you're right, I can't imagine how awful it must be, but if I weren't, at some point, able to joke about it, I wouldn't like myself. I'm not going to explain further cause I know I'm gonna get flamed for this comment, but if we don't have laughter, what else is there to life? So spread the positive energy and thereby send a big FUCK YOU to religious extremists.
