not all these projects r made 4 the makers benefit alone, they may get some acknowledgment from the films/projects but if u do some background research on it, many of these projects also give a percentage of the profits 2 the families and the other have pieced 2gether event by buying parts of the stories from family members, who u cant really blame in some circumstances, 4 them, something good should come from a tragedy.

I dont like the fact that these movies are gonna profit off 9/11. I hope they donate some of the money to a fund on behalf of the victims.

What I don't like is how you imply that since it's "fresh in history" that it's not OK to talk about normally, but other tragedies/disasters/bloody wars/etc. are OK to talk about or "profit" off of since they happened a long time ago.
When is the magical time that events become OK to talk about?
If you don't like people profiting off of movies about 9/11, you must equally dislike people profiting off movies about Pearl Harbor, World War II, the Crusades, etc.

Can't stop it--People profit off the O.J. Simpson Case, the Michael Jackson Case too.
I don't know about being OK with it, but I know they will get their reward, according to their works.
Works meaning>>What they put their energy into.

No, but someone almost always profits from a tragedy. It's kind of hard to stop.

No. I refused to see Flight 93. It's too soon and it just feels wrong to me.

That's caplitalism.
The greed sprung out of a capitalist society shows no mercy and takes no prisoners.

That's capitalism, which is a whole lot better than socialism.
That's free speech, which is a whole lot better than censorship.
You not going to see them due to not believing it to be a Patriotic thing?
That's ethics and Patriotism (I'd disagree, but that doesn't change it), which is a whole lot better than lack of ethics and America-Hating.
The system works. It's strange, but it works.
