Who else thinks the 9/11 families are being selfish and whiny and their 15 minutes are long over?

Question

You've gotten paid millions of dollars, time to quit the public spectacle and let the world move on already, cry babies.

Ann Coulter was so right

Answer 1

Umm, the deaths of those people are what sparked the war.

Millions of dollars can NEVER replace a loved one.

And Ann Coulter never gets her facts right. Plus, when she's called on it, she throws a temper tantrum
...great person to listen to.

Answer 2

They are absolutely not selfish, whiny or close to it, but maybe, what you mean is that they should stop taking so much space on the public media, and, to that, I agree on some level. I´m sure that the people affected by what happened, will never stop feeling really sad about it, but, maybe its true that the media should focus a little less on that event, now that its been 5 years since happened, not because its not important, but because, there´s a lot of things happening everyday, really important, that should also have a great deal of attention from the public media. And also, I think that the families affected by the 9/11 need to stop being reminded of what happened so often. I remember when my grandma died, I appreciated that the people close to me told me they where sorry, but after a week, I just wanted no one to tell me again about my grandma, I needed time to deal with the loss and I couldn't get past it when everybody kept reminding me that she had just died.

Answer 3

SHUT UP!

I had a friend who was killed there and I can NOT imagine ever saying that to his relatives. Did you take Insensitivity classes, or are you just naturally a tool?

15 minutes? You think people are milking this for fame? Ever stop to think that they don't want people to forget the horror of that day and just accept these sorts of acts as normal? Do you think we should take down the Vietnam Veterans Memorial since people just go there to "cry" about stuff? Maybe we should just knock down all those cemetaries so no one else ever has an excuse to "cry and whine" over people they loved.

I guess this is easy for you to say because you are such a jerk no one would miss you and you likely never lost anyone you loved. I suppose you can't lose what you don't have.

Answer 4

If the right can use 9-11 as their excuse for committing atrocities against other humans (i.e. torture, removal of liberties, etc.) then an actual victim of the attacks definately has the right to speak out. Don't condemn others for doing exactly what you do yourself.

Also, we still don't have any real answers about what happened. Not to sound like a tin foil hat wearer, but:

a) why were no jets scrambled immediately after the first jet hit the first tower and other planes were known to be hijacked?

b) why did NORAD actually step down a response and prevent jets from taking off before they could actually do anything?

The list goes on.

Answer 5

I think you should be more careful about who you are listening to. This Ann Coulter is just a really pathetic person who is full of hate and wants to make a name for herself. She's just another me me me- look at ME!!- person with a big black vacuum void where her heart and soul ought to be. Not to be admired.

I'm sure if you think about the 9/11 families as if you were one of them, having lost a husband, son, father, brother, mother- you would feel differently. There is a time to mourn- maybe that time is past and we should all move on- and I think most people are doing that. They, the families, and we, the American people move on with our lives, but we never forget. That's not the same as whining, which is what you seem to be doing, ok?

Answer 6

It will never play out and cross the line. It was the kind of tragedy that was without warning and created to incite America into action. Sadly, they broke the rules of the Koran to do it and ended up killing innocents.

On the otherhand, I'm really sick of the hurricane "victims" begging for more and seeking "entitlements". They weren't so innocent and knew the risks of living where they did. We've spent billions on that part of the country and the State of Louisiana thinks it's horrible that they're being asked to foot part of the bill. It was a horrible couple of weeks in our history, but unlike 9/11 they had complete warning and knew there was a way to get out...if they wanted to go. If they chose to stay and were inconvenienced in the aftermath, my sympathy ran out around February.

Answer 7

Well, they aren´t being whiny. Everyone who loses someone they knew have difficulty getting over it. Like if someone fell from a building while painting it. Friends and family would both miss them. That´s the same for the war, bombings in other areas of the wotld, and in Israel and Lebanon.
Now some can indeed be over whiny just to get attention. That I´ve seen...

Answer 8

it is interesting how people will be devestated and some have the drive to get over it and move forward, and others feel better sitting and feeling sorry for themselves.

i do think it has been 5 years and most people who were devestated should be making some sort of improvement, though the hardest thing to do is move on emotionally.

as far as financially, there has been quite a lot of charity for these people and im sure most are well off (again, financially.)

Answer 9

Do you really feel this way? I tend to agree with you when you say that it is time to move on. Dwelling on something so miserable is not healthy for the country and it only perpetuates hostility and more hatred. I think that the families have been compensated fairly and I sometimes think, why do they get so much when there are people who lose a son or daughter, etc to a drunk driver and they don't get a dime....??? I am not downplaying what happened to them, but I agree that it is indeed time to move on and look to better things.

Answer 10

It's called consideration and obviously you don't have it. These people lost loves ones in a major attack on our country. How would you feel in their place? I bet you would be just as vocal(whiny" I believe that is the word you chose) as they are being. Get a heart man.
