The OKP formula:
Topic started > one serious post > lame jokes.
Hopefully you guys didn’t lose anyone on this date, six years ago.
Most of us New Yorkers are not that fortunate.

^c’mon Neil this isn’t rocket surgery… the destruction of 9-11 was serious. If your friend or family member died in those attacks you may not be so apathetic…which is a’s point. I rebuked ICC’s anti-patriotic statement because I felt it was uncalled for in this thread considering the thread is about those attacks. Perhaps ICC didn’t think Leo was sincere but Leo’s post was at least considerate. Perhaps jokingly comparing ICC to a muslim extremist was outta line but ICC’s consistent anti-American rhetoric was uncalled for in this thread. People died horrible deaths at the hands of very sick, deluded people. It is not wrong to be patriotic, as is ICC view, especially in a thread that sought to sincerely recall that day.
… I thought Neil meant he didn’t get a’s joke (which wasn’t a joke at all, thereby making Neil’s post funny … no?). I laughed, but maybe that’s not what Neil meant afterall.
Sorry, carry on … 9/11/2001 was the beginning of me second-guessing my own security and longevity on many many fronts, ever since. Global warming? Population explosion? Phish’s post-hiatus period collapsing? More terror? More war? More fear.
^^ Dude, post it on a CNN forum or something. The OKP has never been a forum for serious discussion, just stupid jokes. It’s the 12th afterall now, so we can just ease up a bit on the whole dwelling on the past thing and start looking at what Americans have been doing to infuriate people to the point where they want to attack Americans. Maybe not in this thread, but somewhere, sometime.
