Texas mattress shop apologises for 'disgusting' 9/11 ad
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-37320239While tasteless for certain, a lot of people need to get over themselves.
9/11 means almost nothing to a lot of people now. The US is a huge country and this event, while horrible, directly affected a very small amount of people.
Humans are designed to forget (probably wrong word, I am not a psychologist) and move on when things do not directly affect them.
9/11 means nothing to many people except that our government did some very illegal things like invading another country under false pretenses.
9/11 means nothing to other people except that the government took advantage of fear and took away or restricted/reduced many freedoms the U.S. citizens had prior to then.
9/11 was 15 years ago. There are children now in high school that have no memory of this event other than dry history classes.
For people my age, but removed from the events, 9/11 is a tragedy, and not something to make fun of. But still something that only affects me because of the wars affecting our economy at a high level and TSA at the airports. But you know what, that does not mean I can shit on someone who feels differently. They are allowed to feel differently.

It's a lot like "another sale day" at this point. And it is referenced strangely often for how long ago it was.

So not news?

Not sure why this is considered shocking. Two people fall asleep after shooting up... no one is hurt, no one is dead. It's just two junkies passed out. It's not pretty, but it is far from shocking.

These people sound like humans won't act like humans if they're in Merica. That's no different than anywhere else in the world, right?

But the USA aren't part of the third world... Maybe build fewer weapons and get your kids something to eat.

That would assume a coherent political system.

Preposterous, those kids are living the American dream by pulling themselves up by their bootstraps. Plus we need all those weapons in case them brown people come over here. (Sarcasm if you couldn't tell).

Yeah, you know, was just loud thinking. I'm always asking myself how we can survive without any weapons in the house (expect for some kitchen knives or hammers maybe). And then we got no hungry kids on the streets who have to pull down their pants down to get something in their stomach. Really, we must be stupid. Weapons would probably be better.

Damn right they would be. That and walls... you can't have enough walls.
