(no subject)

So September 11, 2001 is the subject of today's writer's block. I am finding some of the answers on there to be in poor taste and incredibly unbelievable.

I know that this date doesn't mean the same things to all people (hence the question), but to make jokes about it? To make celebratory posts about it like its Christmas or a birthday or something? I don't understand what goes on in people's heads sometimes.

Edit: A diamond in the rough.

I refuse to read them, for that reason. Though even I didn't think people would stoop so low as to joke about it. I figured it would all be sappy stuff about "tolerance" and holding hands and that sort of thing.

Wow. That's low even for LJ standards. Sick.

Glad I didn't bother reading them. Sad that how sick people can be no longer amazes me.

Um, people, 3,000 human beings died that day....*sigh*

I'm not reading that, either....

LiveJournal is home to some of the sickest, most depraved souls around and thanks to the anonymity of the internet, they can indulge in their awfulness.

I've been watching the footage from that fateful day all evening - I'm still having a hard time processing it, even all these years later. It was a tragedy in the truest sense. I scanned the first page of the Writer's Block answers, and was just appalled. I can't believe people are mocking the fact that innocent people lost their lives. Say and think what you want about the government of a country, but I doubt the majority of the people who died that day have contributed to their perceived notions of the crimes American has committed. And before anybody gets on me for it, yes, I mean that for people of ALL countries. I don't celebrate the loss of innocent civilians in Hiroshima, for example, even if I recognize why the bomb was dropped. It sickens me that people aren't able to separate their feelings about a country's policy from human lives.

I really love this article, btw: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/columnists/parsons/2002/09/11/shame-on-you-american-hating-liberals-115875-12188969/
