Baku The Fallen
Well I believe mankind has reached an all time low.
I was in 1st period and the announcements came on.
Of course on this auspicious day, there would be a special presentation on the closed circuit television.
So there I am. They have "God Bless America" on the PA and a slide
show on the television.
They show pictures from 9/11.
Planes crashing, buildings falling...
And then...They show the roof of this church with a giant cross on it, with a falling building in the backdrop.
I scoffed. Aloud.
My teacher heard and glared at me. Strike 1.
Then they showed a dog, with a falling building as the backdrop.
I chuckled. Teacher glared at me again. Strike 2.
Then. They showed a picture of some guy jumping out of the building.
I laughed. Aloud. Strike 3. Teacher hands me a detention.
Reason being. Disrespect and Disrupting class.
How horrible.

I never knew I was a "Muslim Supporter"
Muslims are not terrorists

And look at this new flame, they accused me of being white.
LOL I R DOMINICAN!
EDIT:
No. If you have been following this thread you may think I enjoy laughing at the death of others.
No I don't.
The slideshow itself was what puzzled/amused me.
It's not like I went "LOL LOOK AT THE DUDE JUMP FROM THE BUILDING" on 9/11/2001
It was actually quite shocking.
But after the 3rd anniversary I didn't care much anymore.
Now stop posting that I'm a heartless b***h or anything like that.
I just have a sick sense of humor.
2nd Edit:
If you have not seen the slideshow I have seen, then your opinions on if it would be funny or not are invalid.
Don't even try to lie about it either.

Also, I'd like to add that 9/11 is a modern tragedy, and thus wil be treated the modern US way - to commercialize, commercialize, commercialize. Those events mentioned above don't even get annual five-minute silences - not in most countries, anyway. And yet I think they were just as horrible as what happened in 9/11.

And "He's a bad person" doesn't fly sister.
Now this is what I call an open minded person.
A person who disagrees but doesn't flame.
How original.
And such a nice change. Shouldn't you put it in the first post, Baku? It's a rarity for this thread- hell, it's a rarity for GD in general.
To the person who disagreed with me.
Now this is how you voice your opinion.
You simply state your opinion in an orderly and properly spelled manner.
You do not use the words "********" "b***h" "Dumb" "Damn" "Hell" "a**" or anything like that.
It's not like I said "Hey if you disagree with me then you suck.

You are all assholes. Like I said, this is the most sickening thing I have ever seen in my life, and you all should be COMPLETELY ashamed of yourselves. You are the most horrible people I have ever encountered in my entire life, and I hope to never encounter again. I honestly can say that what I have seen here, has really hurt me a lot, that humanity can be this low, and with such a wide range of people. I thought people were bad before, but after seeing this I absolutely despise all of you. You are horrible, horrible people. "People need to get over 9/11." That is SICK. That makes me want to vomit it is so sickening. Absolutely horrible. I don't even know how to go any further with this, but to say that all of you ******** pieces of s**t are going to burn in, if there is such thing, hell.
I'm pretty sure the Holacaust was worse than us.
"...LOL...~!" 3nodding

You sir, are amazing. Granted, I did feel sorrow for the people who lost their lives on 9/11. But do we have a moment for Pearl Harbor anymore? No. Do we have a moment for the Holocaust? No. People, it was a tragedy. And so were many other things.
Me dropping my soda was a tragedy. But we're not having a moment of silence for that, are we?
If we had a video like that in my class, and they showed a dog with the building in the background, and that dog just had a look on its face like "WTF?", then I would have laughed too.
I understand that you were laughing at the slideshow and not at 9/11 itself. However, I don't think many others understand that. ;/

People died.
They AREN'T coming back.
You CANT go back in time and prevent it.
Things like this ******** happen, deal with it.
50 bucks say that when the next horrible thing happens, that everyone will pretty much forget about 9/11.
Also, School powerpoints are always repetitive and funny.

Wow. They should rename this day as "American ANGST" Day. I've never seen so much whining in my life. Or seen so many people going "you should be ashamed of yourself for being anti-american and insensitive and a horrible, mean, naughty person."
To be fair, I'm not American, I'm Canadian. And I do recognize that 9/11 was a horrible thing, that people died, and so on. But thousands of people died in the Halifax explosion... and no one remembers that. Remember that tsunami that wiped out New Orleans and the surrounding countryside? Remember the Holocaust? Remember the bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Yeah, me neither.
Basically people, stop arguing about it, trying to figure out who's fault 9/11 was, and being racist and completely ignorant. And stop using large font and so many explamation marks. By doing that, you'r showing that what you have so say is of so little consequence that you need to emphasize it to make people pay attention.
I used to care more about 9/11. But that was before I was pummled with it, read about it everywhere, saw the REBROADCAST of it, and sat through not one, but TWO movies made about it. It's like that really good song you hear on the radio... but then you hear it so many times that you get sick of it and wish the damn stations would quit playing it over and over
One last thing: he laughed at a corny slideshow. I assure you, the deepest circle of hell is NOT reserved for him.

I congratulate you, Baku, at being able to get passed this event. The people who flamed you obviously ignorant, stupid, uneducated, inept or all of the above. True, I was just as surprised and angry as the rest of America when I watched the news that day, as I'm sure you were as well, but I got over it. These things have happened, and will always happen. We cannot change this.
Also, as many people have said before me, what about past events in our history? What about the events at Auschwitz and the Holocaust? What about the dropping of the A-Bombs? Pearl Harbour? Hell, even the Civil War, where over 600,000 Americans died whilst fighting one another, brother against brother? Do we stop and cry about that? No. We don't. So unless you take less than five minutes out of your life to honor the aniversaries of those events, then you have absolutely no right to say anything against what Baku the Fallen did in his class, or his punishment.

Deity declares this thread to be made of win and awesome... xD
...to all the annoying flamers who lost their minds....way to overreact, monkeys. < <; It happened...it sucks...it's been five years....it can't be helped....get a grip. Baku wasn't laughing at 9/11. That is, indeed sick. It's old news, but it's not funny. Lots of people died, and it's a horrible, awful thing...which is why it's good to point out that he wasn't laughing at 9/11. He wasn't laughing at 9/11. He wasn't laughing at 9/11. He wasn't laughing at 9/11. For ******** sake, he wasn't laughing at 9/11.
Deity read his decsription of the video and snickered just reading about it...humor likes to hit people in the oddest of times, and it doesn't help when they're playing a song with a dog shopped in front of a building crashing down. The idea is just corny, and doesn't come off as serious t'begin with...when someone shows you something even a little funny during a serious time, the funniness is sorta amplified.
'Sides, they should've shown the towers still standing if they wanted us to remember them fondly. But no, each September 11th they'd rather show us images of people jumping out of the burning towers, or either tower getting hit with an airplane and/or crashing into itself. Th'hell? Deity doesn't wanna remember that...he wants to remember the towers and the NYC skyline the way it was. Now that image is thrashed by some stupid airplane terrorist attack...god damn television.

I hope you are banned.

oh lordy. i have to start using shift for this one.
To begin, 9/11 was indeed a serious tragedy. I can remember sitting in shock and awe as I watched the news coverage that day. The coverage for the rest of the week was sobering. Then, another month of coverage. Then another. And another. By January 2002, I was so sick of being inundated with 9/11 that I simply shut off my TV. I stopped watching the news just to avoid the constant surveillance, the recycling of the same stories and same struggles, and the overall impression that 9/11 was the most tragic event of mankind's existance.
Larger tragedies have happened before 9/11, and they have happened since. The Black Plague, the Crusades, the Holocaust, the civil wars of Congo, the Tsunami of 2004, Katrina, the Darfur genocide, and so many others...these events have cost far more lives than 9/11 ever has, and yet all the American public can do is wave their flags and join the Twin Towers Pity Party. We should look back, we should remember, but beyond that, we shouldn't have this mass-media fed impression that 9/11 is the end-all tragedy of our lifetimes.
It has been five years.
We, as a nation, if we are truly as powerful as we say we are, should have the strength to continue onward as a nation without keeping the 9/11 leash about our citizens' necks. If anything, we should celebrate the lives of the people we lost, remembering them with good will, instead of wishing malady on those who refuse to tear at their hair and mourn sorrowfully. Let each person remember 9/11 in their own way, if at all.
I went to my classes, called my mom, read a Russian novel, and put a grape-flavored condom on a d***o with my mouth at a sex toy party.
It tasted like artificial sweetener.

If anything, we should celebrate the lives of the people we lost, remembering them with good will, instead of wishing malady on those who refuse to tear at their hair and mourn sorrowfully. Let each person remember 9/11 in their own way, if at all.
I went to my classes, called my mom, read a Russian novel, and put a grape-flavored condom on a d***o with my mouth at a sex toy party.
It tasted like artificial sweetener.
