Excuse me but having had a relative inside one of the hit buildings, I think I'm more than qualified to give my opinion on Riliss's post in saying that
I didn't take offense. What part of that didn't you understand? You took offense, you spoke your opinion, I didn't take offense and I spoke my
opinion. That makes us equal except for the fact that you apparently think your opinion is the one that should be shared by everyone and anyone who happened to
see the thread. It wasn't offensive to me and obviously wasn't to many people so why should Riliss have to remove something just because you don't
like it?
I don't particularly like the satanic symbol used as Leslie's boot icon. Do you hear me calling for its removal? I think not. You know what this message board is, I know what this message board it. Take a chill pill, get off your high horse and get over it or stay away from threads that offend you. I won't be driven to silence by you or anyone just because of your overly large post counts. |

Just because that tragedy hit you personally does not make you the end all of opinions either. You have no clue what others may have been through, as they don't with you. If it doesn't offend you, super, I am glad for you. For many of the people who were also there that day, it affects them profoundly, and perhaps they are of the opinion that it is not a subject to find humor in. Your ability to cope may be different than others. You lost someone, and that is horrible. Were you there? Did you see the horror in person? If not,
then as I have no clue how it affected you, you have no clue how it may have affected someone in that situation. That experience may be just as life-scarring
as yours, if not more. You perhaps did not experience the panic, the devastation, the overwhelming sensory overload that occurred at the sight.
Irregardless, of the millions of subjects to mock or make fun of, this particular one is in bad (at a minimum) taste.

So if you don't like somebodies opinion, that makes them a redneck? You truly sound like a fucking kiddiot. Sorry, not a redneck, and FROM NY you stupid motherfucker. Maybe you're just a negative cunt and that's why the city seems to suck, because YOU suck and people treat with said respect. Again, go fuck off. -SJ™ |

Honestly didn't know I'd offend so many people.
I mean, I try to offend people, but this is a lot more than I expected. I'll take it down, but seriously, chill the fuck out, people. |

What can I say? I am not faking this, it feels like I got punched in the fucking gut when I see people using 9/11 as a fucking joke. Sorry, it's not nor
will it ever be funny to me and if I don't say something then what kind of person does that make me?

The thing is Quality Bobby, lots of things are offensive. As a Christian, the satanic symbol used to portray Leslie's boot icon is highly offensive to me.
Since when has this message board ever been politically correct? Yes 9/11 was a tragedy, just as Pearl Harbor was a tragedy, the Titanic was a tragedy, the
Holocaust was a tragedy, Vietnam was a tragedy, the war in Iraq is a tragedy and numerous other things in life are all tragic to one or many people.
This is a fairly uncensored board. People have said things to me that offend me. Images have been posted that offend me. However, I choose to see it as it is and move on. I suggest the rest of you do the same thing. Shit happens, life goes on and this place will never make everyone happy all the time. Censorship isn't the answer. |

Sorry Rejected, I reject your logic. I can safely say you never met Satan and I doubt highly you've seen too many demons right? 9/11 was real and tangible,
true horror and nothing like being "offended" at a symbol that was never satanic in origin, but guess it would help to know a bit about history of
religions to comprehend this. Leave it to the Christians to use their faith as a means to argue. Whatever. Besides, I am Catholic and take no offense at the
symbol.
I don't care for censorship, but we aren't animals and can hold ourselves to higher standards. -SJ™ |

I have no relatives that were in the Towers, dislike the City of NY as a whole (Yankees...) and yet, I was rather offended by it, even if you didn't mean
it the way it was taken.

I think Americans were spectacularly good at hating each other before 9-11. And unfortunately, we're still spectacularly good at hating each other now.
The Westboro Baptist Church, for example, was around well before 9-11, and their followers are the poster children for American hatred.

I don't think Riliss meant to offend in the way it is being perceived. However, humour is an excellent Litmus test for the health of a nation. America just
isn't at the stage where joking about 9-11 is acceptable. It has only ben recently that AIDS has entered the comedy forum, and people are still careful
about how they joke about it. Granted, issues and events that surround or follow 9-11 are fair game, just look at the Daily Show or Letterman. They poke at GWB
and the Iraq 'war' all the time, yet they draw the line at involving the troops and 9-11 all the time.
ROC is right about Westboro. They are assholes in the extreme.

I think that was one of my more tempered posts, actually. |

Soooooo.....
Anymore James shocked photochops or has this thread been jacked and soiled too much? Lighten up people. You are NOT going to convince the other person/persons to see things 100% from your perspective so either post a chop or create a new thread in OT discussing the topic (which is very interesting but just not "James shocked by appropriate"). |
