whether or not you agree to it is irrelevant. your ability to shut the hole on your face for a minute is.
seriously, enjoy your mcjob because no one will hire you to do anything more significant than flipping a burger with that attitude.

Jesus ****ing christ. I've explained my reasoning and whi i think this is wrong and i've certainly highlighted that it goes beyond me not being able to shut up for a couple of minutes.

My point is in a situation such as that its not about who suffered a greater loss or which loss was the most tragic or the least justified. Its about being respectful of the feelings and the losses of those who are immediately around you, because you would want them to do the same if the situation were reversed even if they haven't or wouldn't in reality, and that transcends politics, nationality, religion, or anything else.

There we are. A fairly intelligent argument that goes beyond 'u r so stupid u shud kep ure trahp sht 4 2 minits lool 11!1!11!' . I see what you're saying here but i still have to disagree.

It's nice to care about what other people have fought for, accomplished, or suffered because of, because it helps you find peace within yourself and how you live your life. Problems you have might not seem so bad in retrospect to those who have died.
But whatever, if you want to have your precious minute then I hope it's good for you.

Ok i don't know why i'm bothering with this still, BUT. Say i agree with 9/11, i think it was a just cause and i have absolutely no sympathy/respect for those who died. Now, why should i have to....you know what forget it i cba with this nonsense i've put my cards on the table, if you still refuse to read them and ignorantly dub it as selfishness then thats your call.
