# Calm down.
At the end of this strange decade of fear and hypocrisy, we can tally up the scores.

American civilian deaths on 9/11: 2,977
Afghan civilians killed in the resulting 'War on Terror': 8,813
Iraqi civilians killed for some reason I never will understand: 864,531*

(*copied and pasted from sources I never bothered to check. Feel free to correct me)

# those people in the towers
had nothing to do with either Iraq or Afghanistan. So what you seem to imply is that's ok because they were American?

# At no point did I say it was OK
That was more an unrelated footnote. Sorry if you thought it was a justification.

If you want me to justify the image. I have only this to say: This is b3ta.

# Thought that was an Anne Frank pun!
There's stuff that pops up on here from time to time that offends me greatly due to my own life story. But I let it pass. I ignore it. I don't comment. Because either everything goes or nothing goes.
(I helped save b3ta! Butters and his titanium codsocket, Sat 10 Sep 2011, 16:21, archived)
# I let a lot of things that I find offensive pass for the same reason
but that's no reason for me to try to grab 13 seconds of attention at the expensive of thousands who suffered horrific deaths. And think about it--there's not even any humor in it. "Hey look at me--I made some dying person look silly! That makes me special."

Now that I've said my piece (which too is a b3ta prerogative,) and I'll get off the soapbox.

Apologies for offending you and those who lost their lives at the expense of the sensless actions of some overgrown ex pro wrestler.

# chill out man
i've seen you post some odd things, ls18, i'm sure examples could be found if i searched but i'd rather not. i find it odd that you have chosen to take offence at posted images all of a sudden. it doesn't tally with your past behaviour. tis b3ta, after all.

# you'd benefit from more listening and less advice
So much attention is given to "not offending" on b3ta when it comes to race or sexual orientation. I feel fine about adding mass deaths to the list of concerns.

I've condemned no one. I've said the 9/11 tragedy isn't funny. If it is, you'll have to explain how it is, because I just don't see it.

Read the small print above the book title in that picture.
Why not simply admit that this pic was just as tasteless as the stuff you so vehemently condemn here today?

# I have no respect for radical islam, if that is what you are referring to,
and it seems silly to equate the 9/11 ordinary working people with that crowd of slayers. Further, you must have your own definition of racism, which does not apply here.

# True indeed.
Tomorrow we're all supposed to be commemorating the horrendous crime that 9/11 was. Hardly any attention will be paid to our own terrible crimes committed as a result of that day.
That may have been the point of butters' tally.

# war is hell, no doubt
and I think its great to depict as fools those who perpetrate crimes in it. But I see no humor whatsoever in making light of non-participating victims. That's just how I see it.

# In that case
it logicaly follows from your own standards of humor/decency
that your Anne Wank picture was not funny and you were wrong
posting such a thing.
And please don't come up again with: i didn't know who she was.

I'm through with this thread now.

# No, you fuckwad
I knew she was a Jew and had some vague but incorrect notion that she was working underground against the Nazis--not that she was was a prisoner who died in a death camp.

You are beginning to irritate me with your telling me what I knew and what I didn't. You are no fucking mind reader, so let's just drop this, OK?
