This is the closest you'll ever see me get to a full-tilt rant.
I'll also preface this thread by saying that my heroes are Bill Hicks and Lenny Bruce, both people who made a mark specifically by saying what nobody wanted to hear.
So here goes....
I'd have some respect for the LOL 9/11 avatars if they added to the dialogue or had something useful to say about what happend that day.
Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. If they had ANYTHING to say, useful or not.
Am I being too harsh? What is the message, anyway? Pondering the choice between an agonizing death being inflicted upon you or extracting the dignity of doing it yourself is funny? Maybe I'm missing the punch line.
Don't confuse me with the idiots who have a hardon for post-9/11 retribution. But I did know someone on Flight 11.
Doesn't mean I should have the right to be shielded from certain speech. But it does mean that if you're going to make a joke of that day then I really fucking hope you have something insightful to say.
And the avatar isn't cutting it.

"Luggage" is the customer who went on for five minutes in what could only charitably be called "pronoun soup."
"Luggage" is my annoyance at almost being hit by a car today. Twice, actually.
"Luggage" is my overdrawn banking account.
"Luggage" is the fact that my ferret refuses to be broken of the habit of taking a crap outside the litter box.
"Luggage" is the cruft and the crap and the slings and arrows and you're right. Those stay at the door.
I sat down that morning and rubbed my eyes and logged on to AIM. "Danny was on Flight 11."
That ain't luggage. That's a kick in the balls that you still feel five years later.
But I'm glad you replied. It's a step toward working out what value these avatars have.
Trust me. I'm listening.

It's meant to be offensive. That's the point. There's nothing funny about it. That's why you add the LOL. I'M MAKING FUN OF SOMETHING THAT WAS TERIBLE.
Shock humor.

Your post is incredibly offensive because you seem to be against my first amendment rights.

I hate it when someone trys to tell what I can and cannot believe.
One of the reason's I hate the Christian religion and Americans.
I'm an American and, I feel that the tragedy on 911 is no laughing matter.
I don't feel I should play emotion police though and tell people what they can and cannot have because it hurts my feelings. I say get over it.
No offense to you.. just my 2 cents

You've got some vindictive politics, man. Kill 3,000 Americans. Kill how many Afghani civilians?
I'm not saying it's a way to solve things--you're just being simple, though.
I need to leave this thread or I'll get some permabannage talking to your butt.

I remember when the first 9/11 movie came out a little while ago. Everyone said *Oh no, it's too soon for that shit*. When would be the *appropriate* time then? Just because you talk about it doesn't mean your blind to the event.
The first vietnam movie was made a couple years after the war, was it too soon for that to happen?

Ythan has new policy, the more hippie pub mod complaints he gets, the more offensive smileys he makes.
