hhhmm… i think this is going to get a bit of flack…

9/11=hahaha repeating
If you liked that one try part 2:
You make an interesting point.
We’ve laughed at Darwin award winners. We’ve laughed when groups of religious zealots have trampled each other to death for no apparent reason.
But we can’t, however, laugh at tragedies such as 9/11 or the Holocaust.
So…
…what’s the break-even point where humor meets tastelessness? A dozen? Several dozen?
Perhaps I should start a poll…
As one who lost family on 9/11, I would be happier not to have seen this. My mother, in fact, watched that very scene from her apartment building on lower Manhattan. Her brother perished when that tower fell.
However, I can empathize with the impulse to share and so won’t judge.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I found it very uncourtius of those who laugh at 9/11=Haha, many people died for no good reason on that day and I wish I could shoot any one who does not respect them. I am very greatful that I live in a country that is free and I say up yours if you laugh at people who died for no good reason. Once again, my prayers are with you JJuggle.
Pigs
One signifigant event happens to the USA, and there seems to be sympathy welcomed with open arms. Great Britain had troubles with the IRA for years bombing here there and everywhere, and weren’t the USA funding the IRA or something along those lines? I respect the fact that people died, but in my opinion, it was well overdue that something on similar lines to the IRA troubles we had should happen to the USA.
Thats my opinion anyhow.
as a firefighter i find this video very uncool. i will always remember the 343 firefighters and the other countless people who died that day.
The troubles with the IRA are no way related to the radical islamic murderers who commited the horrific events of 7 years ago. To somehow link the two you offend the memory of those who died in the UK as a result of terror, as well as those of us in the US and around the world who suffered personally as a result of the terrorist attacks here.
Isn’t it wonderful to be free to have opinions (no matter how off kilter they are?)
So the IRA were not terrorists? Of course they are related, not comitted by the same terrorist organisation, but still acts of terrorists none the less. So what, the terrorists used different tools to do their work, but in both cases people died in acts of terrorism. Terrorism being the key factor of them being related.
So what they were for different reasons, at the end of the day they are both things that shouldn’t have happened.
Gotta laugh at everything sometime in your life. When I die, I hope all my friends, and family will be able to think back about me and be able to smile, even about my death. I think, if I can still bring laughter to people after and through my death, that that is a good thing.
Ill watch the video now.
I don’t think 9/11 will ever be funny in my lifetime, nor will it ever be for anyone who is old enough to remember where they were when the attacks happened.
you are a f***ing discrace to the united states of america .shame on you for being a comepletely rude and inconsiderate bastard i feel sorry for your piggheadedness you dick head . remembe r those who lost their fammily members and where lost.
Yes, your friends and family. Not millions of people you don’t know.
I can have a pretty sick sense of humor sometimes, but I found both videos in bad taste. To each his own.
If I might add something it would be not to become angry and bitter in the name of those who died. In as much as I know anyone who I only know virtually, I am comfortable in knowing that ThisGuyIKnow had a point beyond mere provocativeness. I may not be in a place that allows me to recognize it, however.
My mother is, by the way, as I type, boarding a plane to Portland, Oregon. She’ll be attending the wedding of friends of hers who lost a brother and brother-in-law. She and I had always spent today together. I was surprised she decided to fly today, but am glad she is comfortable doing so.
Please re-read my post…I did say that citizens of the UK were killed as a result of terror. You dishonor their memory, in my opinion, by trying to tie the abhorrent acts of the IRA to the medieval thuggery committed by religious zealots who acted out of their faith.
Trying to tie the two events together is ridiculous…and, again, not belittling the sacrifices or terror imposed by the IRA…it was horrific, and I think you may be a bit young to REALLY remember it, as well. I do recall many of the horrific bombings the IRA undertook, and their disregard for innocent life was un merciful and un civilized.
I think we agree in principal…but do you understand that they are not related, in any way?
thats screwed up, i won’t say anymore, for the good of everyone.
I don’t think the video is intended to be funny. It’s intended to be painfully ironic. If you never saw the Benny Hill show you are also missing some of the reference in there. I don’t think the purpose is to say “ha-ha.” It’s something more complicated.
Still, I wouldn’t show it to someone who lost family or friends that day…
For Fraggle:
Yes the IRA committed many atrocities, and I’m sure they are well-remembered and were despicable acts. 9/11 is more recent, and had a much bigger death toll and physical size than any other terrorist event I can think of. Plus it’s more unprecedented over here because we have so few terrorist attacks here. The 1993 WTC bombing was still a pretty huge event. People remember it, but not the same way.

Take a deep breath, wait 30 seconds, then proof your responses before hitting Submit. Your message will be much stronger that way. Also, who was your response directed to? This guy for posting, the creator of the video(s), or someone else in this thread?
