LOL.. this is really funny...

nakkid, there are a lot more reasons then that that this isn't real

Anyways, guys, ease up. There is such a thing as dark humour and I for one find the idea funny.

Then you're as sick as nakkid is.

I enjoy a good joke as much as the next guy, even macabre jokes - but making fun of events that has brought so much horror into so many lives is just sick, sick, sick. Need I remind you that our troops are still fighting in afghanistan because of this?

Have you considered the fact that the aftermath of this attack has affected ppl way outside the US/afghanistan.

Once you said that you were going to start thinking before posting... I'd say it's time you followed up on that...

For one, I'm not American. I think the attacks on Afghanistan are sad and useless. A nation has been destroyed to find one man... And now that the nation is destroyed you still haven't found him. It would have been cheaper and easier to offer a billion dollar bounty on him.

As far as the humour, to say someone is sick for their taste in humour, well, let's turn this around. Any bets that you have told jokes involving Afghanistan lately? I sure have seen a lot of them on the Internet. More innocent Afghanis have been killed during this "war" than Americans.

So, personally, I think any jokes about people of Middle-Eastern decent is sick. How about jokes about Jews?

In reality, most jokes are based upon the misfortune of others, racial slurs, misconceptions, etc.

Take your favourite jokes. Blonde jokes? "Hate"-based. A Jew, a Christian and a Canadian in a boat? "Hate"-based.

This picture was simply done as a way for the author to cope. Dark humour abounded in the weeks after 9/11 and that has nothing to do with the sickness of people's minds. To think that is to have no sympathy at all for the way in which people work.

If you remember back to Vietnam, there was a mass of humour about that. It is called dark (or macabre) humour. There is nothing sick about it, it's a documented coping mechanism and to think otherwise is to be either defensive or closed-minded.

I don't really mind which one you are as neither is truly "bad". We are all defensive and closed-minded about certain things. For all I know you could have lost family during this tragedy, which it truly was and nobody is denying that. Every single death is a tragedy.

Nakkid thought this was personally funny so he posted it. It wasn't something he put up to hurt or make others feel uncomfortable. I'm sure we can all grow up a little and let this be without blowing it up.

I, for one, think this whole discussion could end with if a simple apology was forthcoming. Instead of discussing it any further and bringing up any more bad memories to deal with than we have already had to endure, the one who started all of this is the only one who is going to be able to end it. When it was first posted, I had a lot of hatred and anger myself that I didn't know I was even capable of. September 11th affected me personally and I had finally gotten myself to the point that I can sleep at night again. I don't want to keep reliving all of it all over. Let's end this before it goes any further. Nakkid, the ball is in your court. Stand up.

I never said I was american. My country still has troops there...

About the jokes: Some jokes should just never be told. Common decency should apply. I'd never tell a joke about colored people unless I could say it to their face. I joke can be dark/macabre or whatever but still not be evil. It's all about the context it is told in.

Nakkid has proved time after time that he will post without thinking about consequences, and it get's really annoying after a while.

Nakkid, you are incredible fast to get really defensive once someone criticises you, but you have no scruples about doing it to others... How come?
