Semptember 11th, was never a holiday in my books.

:( bad word usage. But I meant you could use it for other usa holidays. :)

[Boofo]

It's absurd to even try to compare Sept. 11th to any holidays. No go, pal.

[kaost451]

blah..

[kaost451]

My appologies. I edted it. Maybe it's the way I worded it, I wasn't compaing sept 11th to a holiday. I was simply saying, you can use these buttons for other events. If you don't like the fact that you can only use these buttons one time a year, I was saying that you can use them for other occasions. That's it.

[Boofo]

I saw the other message before you edited it. I won't comment on it.

I should have stayed out of this one. Too close to home, I guess. Sorry I butted in.

Nice style, but the name is not right.

[kaost451]

Thanks. but would it be any different if i made pearl harbor buttons? or hiroshima? I dunno I'm getting a lot of flack for these. Sorry if offended anyone, i just thought it would be a unique idea. Actually I'm donating proceeds. :)

[Boofo]

Maybe if you donated 100% of the proceeds and didn't try to make them anymore than for what they are, buttons to remember the day the world changed for us here in the US. ;)

[kaost451]

I've spent a lot of time on my button sets, just so you know. If selling flags is okay then whats wrong with selling buttons? Flag industry made a fortune.

Here you go .. every one enjoy!!

[kaost451]

I was starting to feel like i was apart of al queda.

[Boofo]

You didn't have to go and do that, that's not what I meant. :)

And as far as the flags go, I think anyone who did that after Sept. 11th and made even one dime off of them, ought to be strung up and shot. And the same goes for the little ribbons that were floating around. Too many people saw an opportuninty to get rich off of misfortune. Recovering costs to make an item is understandable. Preying on people's sentiments and fears is another.

(See...I told you I shouldn't have gotten involved in this. :))

im not getting involved in this ....

very nice buttons tho (as usual)... and:

Kaost - ive emailed you several times before about MM and ozzie told me ud reply... but u neva have done... have u got msn or something :)

[kaost451]

No I guess I didn't check my email. Ozzie left me with no server access on madmusic.net, I'm lock out of my own server.lol. when he gets back I will set that up as promised

[Tim Wheatley]

Hmm... I know I'm English but I see no reason to get angry at a guy because he uses the word 'holiday' in a way which some consider bad.

If he makes an xmas set of buttons he calls it a holiday set, if he made a Dale Earnhardt set I wouldn't feel angry if he called it a holiday set. He didn't mean that 11-7 was a holiday for him - grow up guys.

No no, I am not blaming anyone, just how he worded it. anyways thats fixed nice buttons, do you accept money orders for the green on you have?

Drk

[Boofo]

Growing up has nothing to do with it. Like Drk said, the wording of it is what set us off. And also, like he said, everytime is fixed now so time to move on.

using gimmicks to make people download these buttons such as FREEEE and smileys in a september 11th post is seriously warped

[Boofo]

It's only warped if you actually downloaded them. Who in his right mind would?

Answer your question :-p

[Boofo]

Oh, Drk, please don't tell me you caved in and downloaded them. And here I thought you would help me stand up and be counted. Guess I'll have to ride this one alone. :)

Why not download them, it is a holiday in the sense we celebrate the lives of the lost and tell the world that we will not tolerate it!!

[Boofo]

Oh, you got around that one real slick, huh? LOL I was waiting for someone to come up with that. You got me there. :)

He pulled the ol' patriotic gambit on me. Nothing I could do about that one. :)

Don't buckle on me Drk, I need you in my corner. It's you and me against the world. And I think we can take them. ;)

[Diva]

I'm in your corner, Boofo. I am very patriotic. But I wouldn't use those buttons for that day. It is not a holiday. It is an Anniversary. The anniversary where thousands of lives were lost from all over the world. That 'scheme' only represents America. You're missing the representation of a couple of thousand lives with those buttons.

[TheComputerGuy]

Diva, an act of war on US Soil, but since we can not have a pic of every country this is close enough.

I would not use these personally...and are not planning to at the moment, I would maybe use them for July 4th if I wanted to be bored or something....

But anyways, its always nice to see one helping others with button sets.

[proxyMX]

Being scottish, and watching the event as it happened, i was considerably rocked by it. It changed the way i thought, But it also got me thinking, Is there a huge world stir because millions of starving children dying in africa each week? No. I think that it shows that media affects us alot, if there was the same amount of coverage on the african crises, i think there would be alot more mouths fed.

[Boofo]

I couldn't have said it better myself. :) Thank you, Diva. ;)

[kaost451]

Man, it's good to hear everyone's opinions, but when you really analyze this, they're just buttons. Now if i made a sept 11th beer or cigarettes, string me up. But seriously they're just buttons.

[Tim Wheatley]

Tell you what - call them a July 4th set. Isn't that better? No way that it's right to commemorate 11-7. (By the way I lived in USA for 13 of my 23 years.) Kicks the ass out of my country. ;)

I even write the date the wrong way round now! . :)

[proxyMX]

Yeah i pretty much think that someone was thinking like a freak when they named the buttons, perhaps July The Fourth would be better, it would be a holiday and you could use smileys in advertising it

[virex]

two buttons are missing

EDIT and QUOTE please post where can i download them ?

[DrkFusion]

Hey tim its 9-11 not 11-7 or 7-11

If you don’t like what he has to offer, STFU and don’t bother posting.

[Boofo]

Sounds to me like you should take your own advice after posting something like that.

Apparently you haven't read the whole thread (or for some reason can't seem to understand what has been going on here).
The issue never has been the buttons themselves. They are very good and he has done a good job. It has only ever been the way they were presented, which if you will bother reading and understanding, was taken care of a few posts back.

As far as who is the n00b here, it looks as though you hold that title better than I. So befire you start blowing hot air in the future, learn to read and understand and then maybe you won't come off sounding so foolish. 'Nuff said.

What the hell are you talking about? I hope you aren't comparing my comment to yours. If you would like a brief outline, you can refer to the below diagram.

1. I like what he has to offer. I believe his intentions were good and he meant no harm. If I had a problem with his thread, I would take it up with him in private, or report the post to a moderator.

2. Unlike kaost451, you are not the author of this thread. If you make a stupid comment, prepare to be called on it. Likewise, if you make a stupid thread, I have no business tainting it with worthless replies.

3. My suggestion for you n00b, is to spend your spare time on something other than ball busting. Otherwise, you can tango with me and learn the hard way.

[dotagious]

Hrm…. Since when did March 2002 come before October 2001? Ah well, minuscule point.

What you don’t understand is the fact your complaint has little substance even if it was because he used the word “holiday” instead of “anniversary” or whatever the hell your beef is.

So as for my understanding this thread, I think I’m right on target. You ramble about respecting thousands of people who died on 911, but you fail to extend basic respect to someone who made a relatively small error. Instead you garble his thread with ridiculous comments, instead of commending his contribution.

[virex]

ya all stop crying like little +++++es, this guy just made a mistake with words. so why all you have to go and talk about this for so long ? :(


:p

[Boofo]

Dates have nothing to do with it. Active participation does. :)

Well, it seems that alot of others feel the way I do about it so there must be some substance there somewhere.

Yes, a mistake was made, and yes, it has since been corrected. And the author has been recognized for his contribution (if you would bother reading the comments he has recieved on his buttons). If you don't like what the thread is garbled with, then there are plenty of other threads for you to blow off in. Maybe someone there will care what you have to say.

Post whoring does not equal active participation. You are worthless, and so are your posts. 8.94 posts per day = you have no life. You are correct; he was commended for his buttons, but not before first being slammed with an outpour of stupidity. Do you also correct others for using improper sentence structure and punctuation?

[Boofo]

You win. I'm tired of bantering back and forth with someone of your stature. I think I'll go find some adults to talk to now. :)

I second that, sure 9/11 folks aint deserve this at all yet media made it so big than any events that go on everyday such as Africia, Ireland, Israel, and many more that always including war or death everyday. It is kind of sad to have that kind crap from media but nevertheless 9/11 is most impact experience for America and world. I am patriotic so Boofo, I m in your corncer too but I ll download it to show how much I think of them that they will never forget and will always in my heart.

kaost451

Sure it is just a "button" but it does mean more to some people than you think. :) Good job though

[Boofo]

Good comeback. Is that from the family album?

Let us all stop bickering back and forth, everyone has had a chance to say what they need to say, so let's get back on the original topic before this thread is closed.

@Kaost: Would you rather me change the subject so this does not attact the wrong crowd?

Don't worry, Tim, America eventually does that to everybody. :)

We got over that problem long time ago, now shut up!

Drk

[dotagious]

Uhm.. the discussion continued regarding the same issue until the 30th of July. I replied one day after that point, which was the 31st. So unless “long time ago” means one day.....

[DrkFusion]

Just bequit -_-

[Boofo]

That's "be quiet" and that is not the message I just saw. ;)

Hey, Drk, where were you when I was being attacked in here? Were you cowering under the couch again? :)

[proxyMX]

You know i posted something that was trying to cool this post down, and some mod delted it, An explaination as to why would be nice

[JJR512]

I don't think the guy should be attacked as he has been for making a set of buttons to commemorate Sept. 11. I also don't think the people/companies who sold flags should be "strung up and shot". Flags have always been sold; if more people choose to buy them, that's hardly the fault of the retailer.

In any event, what is it you're getting so upset about? You act like this is anti-American. But isn't it very American indeed to have freedom of expression? Isn't capitalism also very American? Don't knock someone for doing something that's very much in the spirit of what it is you're getting so upset about in the first place.

[Boofo]

I agree with you that Flags are sold all the time but to take advantage of a situation like alot of businesses and freelancers did after Sept. 11th was appalling and sick to say the least. Alot of people used the "American Unity" and "American Spirit" to make a quick buck. How much of all of that was really donated to any of the families that were affected by the attack? Most of it didn't get any further than their bank accounts.

The problem in this thread was solved a long time ago. It was more of a misunderstanding than anything else. Those of us that were personally affected by Sept. 11th were maybe a little quick to jump, but you have to admit, there is good reason there. What we lost we can never get back and there is still alot of hatred and anger there, whether anyone agrees with that or not.

I would personally like to see this thread closed and left alone. Rehashing everything will only bring that many more problems to what was already taken care of a while back. How about it Chen, can we close this now and be done with it? Please?

[musicfreak12399]

I am a Firefighter / EMT . September 11th, 2001 is not something to celebrate, there for you cannot use the word Holiday, and i cannot see how you can release something with the SEPT 11th date on it and what.. it is only an americian flag.. no respect, no go

[DrkFusion]

Hey boofo, I don't have a couch to cowar under :( Unlike others I do not have the advantage of a home, money, computer, highspeed internet or food :'(

uhh...Im with you boof0 hehe

hey corey can you shut this thread now? Thanks, I didn't mean to cause controversy wasn't my intentions. sorry everyone.

[DrkFusion]

Sorry Koast, forr making it hard for you, I am sure many appreciate your hard work, they are really great buttons.

-Drk

[Boofo]

kaost451, everything was already settled and taken care way back in the beginning of the thread as far as I was concerned. Sorry it got so messed up for you.

[kaost451]

it's okay, I just feel like Hitler now. Political differences and business don't belong together.

Note: If you like to have these anyway, Just download! But please close this thread Corey, thanks.

[Neo]

Nice job :)

[hypedave]

this is nice, I was about to make some, thanks man, and keep up the good job

[SaintDog]

To keep from having further bickering in this thread by those that do not actually come in and read over things, I am closing this thread, I think it has gone far enough.
