How do you think the families of the people who died in the WTC feel when people say "Get Over it" ??

Answer 1

We want to march on Washington and get those truly responsible. Have an old fashion Italian Meathook party.

Answer 2

It's called "lack of compassion" or maybe they don't want to talk about WTC deaths anymore. It's very painful.

Since it's publicized on the media every so often and when September 11th comes around, that's when people hear about it more. When victims families talk about it and people like "John Smith" says, "Get over it!", there's a stingy pain about it.

Sometimes talking about death too much is very morbid and it takes the joy out of people. Most people want to be happy, not sad.

And most people don't have the same views that way.

Answer 3

Bad I'm sure, it's never easy to hear someone say "Get over it", but people must move on. My entire life has been surrounded by death, as I'm sure many others lives have as well. It happened over 5 years ago and while I'm sure it is still extremely painful people have to move on, i once was told that the most selfish thing you can do is cry for the dead. Everyone that died that fateful day is in a better place and the people here on earth must accept that and move on for the sake of ourselves, our friends and families, and the deceased.

Answer 4

It is probably someones ignorant way of solving someone elses problem. I wouldnt say get over it but use it as a tool to further investigate what actually happened and who it affected. I would feel bad for the families. Wouldnt it be nice if everyone magically had the same beliefs.

Answer 5

I have a healthy respect for the idea that people have to move on with their lives eventually. I would like to hope that the loved ones lost would want us to go on with our lives ad not spend each and every day mourning their loss.
However, unless someone lost someone important to them, they have no right to tell someone else how to deal with the loss of a loved one.

Answer 6

Could you provide an example of someone saying this? I don't believe I have ever heard anyone say that...either in the media or even on this board.

Answer 7

Not me! I'm not saying that! The families have gone through hell. They and their loved one didn't ask for any of this. Either did our country. Contrary to what the Libs are says.

Answer 8

It depends on who is saying it, and in what context.

A person posting a blanket dismissive comment on a website is very different than their therapist talking to them during a session.

Answer 9

I'm sure they feel devastated, let down by the insensitivity of it all. But, then again, they should consider the source.

Answer 10

i never heard anybody say "get over it " but how do you think they would feel when somebody says Bush did it
