seriously[/QUOTE]
Obviously everyone deals with death differently. I'm just stating how they should feel.
[QUOTE=Badunkadunk;37514506]So edgey[/QUOTE]
in all fairness this is pretty much an opinion piece
all i see in this article is two letter complaints, and a fuckton of "HOW COULD THEY DO THIS!! TOURISTS DISRESPECTING 9/11" journalism (bad journalism)
[QUOTE=Scot;37514520]Obviously everyone deals with death differently. I'm just stating how they should feel.[/QUOTE]
but not everyone does and it's easier for you to adapt than to force a very large chunk of the world population to
no need to treat it as a cemetary obviously

Did I make a thread about it? No, and you shouldn't have either.

[QUOTE=Badunkadunk;37514421]Why go if you're just gonna respect shit? That's boring I gotta milk every second of my life for fun or else I'm not living.[/QUOTE]
Because it's a memorial you fuckwit.
There is such a thing as [I]respect for the dead[/I], whether you knew them or not, whether their deaths affected you or not, sure, it's not like the people who died are going to be offended, but it's called having [I]a bit of human decency[/I].

You might want to consider Adderall or Vyvanse if sitting in awe of the fact that over 3,000 people died in one place in less than a day is too boring for you.
People still getting mad over a badly written opinion piece?

I'm giving it serious thought about having my body cremated and having the ashes mixed into some sort of concrete structure. Maybe you should think about becoming a skate park or something after you die.

If it's not an attraction, then why do they charge visitors to enter?
[QUOTE=NoDachi;37514713]If it's not an attraction, then why do they charge visitors to enter?[/QUOTE]
really
why would they do this
Theres a line between America not moving on ever and being constantly in angst and people "spitting" on other's graves and sitting their asses on their names, where one can find perfect harmony.
This seems like it was the second option though. You don't need to be crying and going "WHYYYY?!" and be constantly sad. But imo, sitting your ass on someone's name or resting your coffee on it is a bit disrespectful.

Human decency isn't cheap apparently.
Spilling coffee on someone's name at the 9/11 memorial is sorta like pissing on someone's gravestone in my opinion, except it's coffee and not piss, but you get the idea.

pissing is intentional
and what you said is stupid.

They don't.
[QUOTE]Visitor passes are free and available through the Memorial's online reservation system. [/QUOTE]
Tourists are ignorant, what's new?
[QUOTE=NoDachi;37514713]If it's not an attraction, then why do they charge visitors to enter?[/QUOTE]
[url=https://www.911memorial.org/visit]As Distortion pointed out, they don't charge visitors to enter.[/url] You just have to get a pass from them (free of charge), and then you can explore it as much as you want. The museum is free, the visitor center is free, the guided tours are even free. You can choose to donate money to them if you want, but you do not have to.

Not necessarily. [IMG]http://sae.tweek.us/static/images/emoticons/emot-colbert.gif[/IMG]

I think it's odd that it took them ten years to build a memorial if respect for the dead is that big of a deal.

It's not like they're throwing feces at the thing and yelling DEATH TO AMERICA
I saw a couple making out over there once.

Because of infighting and feuds among various parties involved.

god forbid two people make skin contact
imagine a world where people are [I]free[/I] to love one another, shameful!
It's not like it's disrespectful, either. Why would it be? I know for one that dead me would not mind two people sharing a good moment above my resting place.
People always must respect the dead. One example, once I saw a small plaza in town where many innocent victims of the reformation died.
Somebody had the nerve to share a joke there, and to get a hotdog from a nearby kiosk.
There's a plaque that says you can't do anything but touch the memorial.
Tourist or not, I'm sure they can fucking read.
I'm gonna go commit seppuku over the grounds of the memorial! that will show real respect for the dead!

That's not what I meant at all, where did you get that I didn't a world where people to be able to freely love each other out of my post?
I just thought it was a little odd to see that at a place where such a tragedy occurred.
As long as they're not destroying anything, there's no reason to care.

Have you ever worked retail? If you did, you'd soon learn that people don't fucking read, and tourists doubly so.
