I forgot...you did too

September 11, 2001. That date is probably something none of us will ever be able to escape. It is the day that most of us felt like our security and safety had been taken away. I remember being in my 8th grade classroom watching the events unfold on CNN. There is no doubt that it was absolutely horrifying and crushing for us as Americans.

While I agree that it was a day marked by bloodshed and innocent deaths, I also believe that some of us deal with it differently. I, like most of the people I know, have a sick sense of humor. I find certain things funny that could be considered "tasteless". I don't believe in openly mocking those that are directly affected by tragedy, but if I want to make a joke or two, I'm going to.

Some of us need to to get off our high horse, and stop pretending like were above making jokes at the expense of national tragedies. Stop being so sensitive. Chances are that half of the people who decide to speak out against these jokes were in no way directly affected or involved by the events of that day. The world is a sick place, get used to it. We find it funny to make 9/11 jokes. Hell, why can we make Pearl Harbor jokes, but not 9/11??

Bottomline: The world will continue to spin, and we will continue to make jokes.
