Yeah! Your freaking right!!! People only follow what others tell them. We should make light of those kinds of things because people dwell on them. We are taught that we SHOULD feel crappy about crappy things, but that only injures our spirit. Why should we ever mourn? In respect? Celebrate their lives instead of making others feel as crappy as you( not you man). On top of that, how do I respect people I've never known!? Aren't we not supposed to mourn the death of Jesus!? WHY IS IT WRONG TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT DEATH? Isn't death what makes life important?. We can feel crappy and be timid if we are immortal, but we have no time to be any of that when we have so little time in this beautiful world.

It kinda gets to you when you see someone you know falling 5000feet or more to their deaths on live television.
You will remember that day for many a year and a full measure more. I WISH I WERE ASLEEP SO I CAN WAKE UP.
And perhaps the survivor's children's children may make light of it but not today, not this hour.
This wound will not heal easy, and the cries of those taken from must will have to echo some more before time and distance fades it away.
It has cursed us and made graves for our Fathers, Mothers, brothers, sisters, children, and kinsmen.
You can joke about it. I will not judge you.
But try dying once.

I am not sure how to answer this as I am not American and 9/11 did not directly affect me. I guess some people can't deal with what happened still and sometimes the joke is just ill timed or just not a good joke at all so it comes out sounding bad. That is life, remember when you couldn't make a AIDS joke, heck you still can't really.

9/11 was not funny, and it never will be funny. Just ask the thousands of people that lost friends, parents, children, etc., on that day if they think anything about 9/11 was funny. It has nothing to do about judging someone who thinks it is OK to make a joke about that terrible day, it has everything to do about respecting the people that were lost on that day and the people they left behind.

Some people get upset because maybe they lost somebody in 9/11 and don't want to deal with jokes that they might feel are inconsiderate. There could be a lot of reasons why people get upset about it.

I think broad jokes are ok. Not about all the ppl dying. Now that was horrible. And the fact that it was terrorists attacking the U.S. is like a nightmare...cause it's in everyone's mind that it can happen again. In a way I agree with the majority of ppl who replied, but in another way I think there are some LIGHT jokes that you can make...referencing toward the terrorists. NOT the victims. I mean I'm a hurricane Katrina victim and I joke some of the time about it. Not about the actual event, but making a refernce towards it. I'm in a FEMA trailer and my income/mo. isn't even close to what it needs to be for a STUDIO apt, but I have to find some humor somewhere. I have to deal with it someway and get past it.

I don't think it is a topic to joke about, what if it happened to you, and you have people you know reading someone making a joke about where you died at, not only that, if u r from the US, then it was an attack on ur country. Do you think the pearl harbor is funny, or all of our soldiers that died in any war is funny??? It was an attempt of war on our country, comon man, b 4real

When people die for any reason it's not funny. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to be one of those peoples family members and see that kinda stuff that people say "joke" about. My mom was murdered sooo yeah I know how it feels. If you think it is funny that some terrorist murdered so many ppl at once. Then ya need some help.

I'm going to wager there haven't been that many knee-slappers over Pearl Harbor, the Bay of Pigs, or the My Lai massacre either, but go fig. Maybe you have a gift to share with the rest of the world. You should take your act down to Ground Zero for the grand unveiling of the memorial, I'm sure you'll get your due response....
