So are commas, question marks and rounding up, evidently.

2010-2001 is 9. The comma wasn't needed. The statement was fine without. The last sentence was merely a statement. It was not a question.

"Huh" is typically a question, on its it asks, "What?" Whereas at the end of a statement, "Huh," is asking, "Right?"

I was 4 and I know it was 2001. Haha fail. My point is I'm American, I don't give a fuck, and I don't understand why people can laugh about other things but when it comes to do them it's not funny.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

You were 4?? Oh wow I feel old. But yes, I know many kids your age, and the whole concept is difficult to understand. But it's because it directly affected many Americans. Being 4 at the time, naturally you'd wanna watch and hear about other things. But for older people, it was a much sadder time due to the fact that it was happening right there, right then :(

I think jokes can help with the healing, but they need to be appropriate. Like in "The Hangover" when they joke about the "Holocaust Ring". I think on days like today (as well as December 7, and June 6; all days a lot of American lives were lost) we need to remember, but we can't let the sadness and grief take over. If we want to laugh, we should laugh.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Guys, it really doesn't matter how long ago it happened. My grandfather survived the Holocaust, but his parents died. It doesn't matter how long ago it happened, the hurt and sadness is still there. So just because 9/11 happened more recently doesn't make it any more or less important.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Thank you kind of :)

by Anonymous 14 years ago

It kind of does matter how long ago it happened. Sure I was six when 9/11 happened but it was so traumatic I can remember the panic and constant paranoia. It was terrible. I know a bunch of people effected or know someone that was killed in that, so its personal. Especially from where I am from because we are so close. It is a very touchy and serioius subject here and something would definetly go down if someone made a joke about it. The holocaust was so far away and a long time ago so its less touchy.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I don't understand people. Honestly, yeah, it was recent. Over 2,000 Americans died on 9/11, but those people weren't just numbers. They had lives and families and loved ones. And, personally, I don't like joking about innocent people being killed.

The point is, people's mothers, fathers, and siblings died in 9/11. The holocaust was so long ago, that their immediate family members are not still grieving over the loss.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

it doesnt matter the numbers. 3000 people that dies on 9/11 were loved in 6000000 ways by their loved ones. you cant compare them just by casulaties. you cant put a number on the amount of pain people felt. the families of the 3000 people felt just as much grief as the families of the 6000000 people. i hate when people try to put a number on something like this.

Only the United States were affected by 9/11, while the WHOLE world was affected by the holocaust. I am pretty sure casualties play a huge role in the severity of a disaster.

A LOT (not all) of Americans automatically think that Americans dying is worse than any one else dying. For example, yes Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, less than 2000 people died. America bombed Hiroshima (and other parts of Japan), almost TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE DIED. A more vague example is when there is a casualty somewhere in the world. News sources will say something like ''300 (People of that place died), 12 were Americans.'' I'm not anti-American, but when people get sensitive about 9/11 because x amount of Americans died (instead of the sad fact that x amount of PEOPLE died, disregarding nationality), you have to wonder, are Americans that conceited?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

We're not that conceited. If you watch any other news station it'll say the same thing. It's just mentioning how many Americans were killed cause it hits that close to home. Not because we're conceited.

I don't like the jokes about any of them, but as long as they're not mean spirited, I can handle them. If you don't like it, you have a mouse, just scroll down to the next post.
