Okay, so I get moderated for vaguely (and rather jokingly) calling two groups of people dumb for not eating pork, but then when people post this type of sh!t, nothing happens? Not trying to tell you how to run your website Gamespot, but I think your forum (and site in general) would be alot more attractive to use when you don't have a bunch of frankly disrespectful liberals and militant atheists contributing the vast majority of your forums posts (I wonder why? Get a f*cking life..).

I haven't heard any jokes about 9/11 and the only thing I'm currently aware of that people might take as a joke about 9/11 are the theories that suggest government complicity.

Well actually, the only joke I've heard concerning 9/11 is that of "19 men with box cutters blah blah blah... "

Oh, god, the last two pages (@50 ppp) have me hypervenhiliating.

I'm trying to come up with a witty thing to say about this, but the incessant laughter makes it too difficult.

Are you okay, kong?

Jimmy rustling produces so much laughter...unlike 9/11 jokes.

9/11 jokes are just plane wrong, they can bring relationships towering down if said at the wrong time and build people up in flames of rage if they were personally effected.

To bring it all down to a point, don't let 9/11 jokes hijack a friendship, if you're gonna say one be sure your friend won't blow up over it, and if he does try to defuse the situation with an apology.

a joke is a joke, get over it.

People use humour to deal with tragic and taboo things.

My thoughts are pretty much summed up by George Carlin here.

Anything can be funny given a certain circumstance or condition.

if you consider 9/11 to be funny then you should also consider things like the japanese earthquake, tsunamis, etc. all funny as well. mingmao3046

People die all over the world daily, what makes 9/11 special? Because arrogant Americans only care about what happens to themselves. stanleycup98

I think it has less to do with arrogance and more to do with relatability.

Its only a big deal because a lot of people died at the same time.

Because the way that the event was handled and responded to was a joke.

If an airplane is going off route without any recognition from the cockpit, then intercept it and/or shoot the **** down.

It's ok to laugh if it's not happening to America.

I'll just leave this here.

I think acknowledging or understanding the 'value' (what it means, its weight, etc.) and laughing about it are not mutually exclusive.

What about WW2 jokes? Or Nazi jokes? Or Jew jokes? Or starving people jokes?

Well, 3000 children die every single day of starvation and people don't even blink.

[QUOTE="Nibroc420"] but that's because we horde food and are wasteful. not because people stol our planes and attacked us with them. sheesh, what american school did you go to.Nibroc420

[QUOTE="Funky_Llama"] Why are religious people such cowards? Come on, you believe you know what god himself thinks about homosexuality - why are you so intent on not hiding it behind white lies?Philokalia

Hehe.

You give religious people a bad name. Let it be known that we are not all intolerent homophobes, nor do we try to shove religion down throat, unfortunately there's people like this guy who happen to be vocal about the bullsh!t and thus give the rest of us bad names.

That is all.
