Dale Earnhardt's death wasn't worth the timeslot it aired on.
And September 11th's occurance wasn't either. Boo hoo. Americans died. Plenty of people die everyday. It shouldn't be the number one television moment, like some fucking spectacle. The fact that that day was made into a worldwide spectacle makes me feel bad to be Canadian sometimes, just because it's so fucking close to America. The TV coverage of september 11th is nothing but cheap, dirty pornography.

What right do you have to say shit like that? Yeah, Boo Hoo, Americans died. But almost everyone I know either knows someone, or knows someone who knows someone who died that day.dancing queen iu wrote:And September 11th's occurance wasn't either. Boo hoo. Americans died.

Yeah, I hate all the stupid media specticle that followed, and the this rediculious fear people have of Terrorist now, and I hate the fact that politicians use this fear to control the populace into accepting stupid laws like the fucking "patriot act." But everyone does.
But don't you dare sit there and sarcastically downplay that event.
Sorry you don't have any respect for Americans, but I know for a fact that atleast one good person died that day. And she apparently had more of a right to live than you do.
Don't even fucking talk to me.
Okay, not to make this into a big thing, but...that's the most disrespectful thing I've ever heard in my entire life.dancing queen iu wrote: And September 11th's occurance wasn't either. Boo hoo.

I mean, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I do agree that people were "fake" patriotic because of that whole thing. People started having American flags up for a week, but some people are actually patriotic and give a shit about this country and our people.
I understand where you're coming from and how they over-played the footage, but...c'mon, I know you don't mean all that. I mean, you can't ignore that many people dying and act like it didn't affect you.
Also, I would like to punch you in the face.
But seriously, let's get back to the subject of this thread.
My favorite moments are prolly dumb...so I won't put them (they include cartoons) So, will someone else please put something ^^

Acutally the "Who shot Mr. Burns" episodes from The Simpson where on the list. I would have to look it over again but i think there were more cartoons on there as well.Juwi bean wrote:My favorite moments are prolly dumb...so I won't put them (they include cartoons) So, will someone else please put something ^^

Of course the Mr. Burns thing was... The top 100 list was on Fox, wasn't it?Bionix wrote:Acutally the "Who shot Mr. Burns" episodes from The Simpson where on the list.

Haha, something they probably SHOULD put on the top 100 list would be the opening of the Berlin Olympic games. But then agian, I don't know anyone who wants to reconize the fact that the historic first internation television boradcast featured Adolf Hitler.

well no matter which Station owns TV land they were not being biggots. They had stuff from all the different stations.
Like John carpenter winning A millon dollars on "Who wants to be a millionare"-ABC
Who shot JR on "Dallas"- NBC if i remeber right
And they kept getting coments from Walter Kronkite who, I think, works for CBS.
On a personal note Grubb i think you are right in, They should of had the Berlin games on the list but, rightfully so, i understand why they didnt.
I also like that Star trek TNG got 45 on the list with the "Best of both worlds" clifhanger.

I'm not saying it doesn't matter that people died, I'm saying that, if they wanted to show mass casualties, then why isn't there nearly as much media coverage of the tsunami? Many more people died as a result of the South Asian tsunami than they did on september 11th, and many didn't really treat it as a huge deal. However, when many fewer people died in America on 9/11, it was some huge thing.
I'm not trying to ruffle anybody's feathers. Okay, maybe I am. But I'm not trying to compromise the fact that what happened on September 11th was a tragedy. It was. It was pretty sad. I cried. But the fact that the American news media essentially used it as propaganda against Iraq and extremist islam sickens me. How dare they? It takes away from and disrespects the tragedy itself.
All I'm saying by "boo hoo, Americans died" is that tons more people die in other countries all the time. Look at the genocides in Somalia, the constant feuding going on in Israel and Palestine, and the situation in Czeccnia. And nobody around here cares, really. It's really depressing. It makes me really upset that the only people we seem to care about are ourselves.

Consider my feathers ruffled.
My aunt had a job in the WTC, and
even though she lived, a lot of her
good friends died in that needlessly
violent act of terrorisim.
Yes, we only tend to mourn our own
people. You think this country is the only
one who does that? I bet no one in the middle
east gives a rats ass when one of our boys die
over there. Most of the world fucking hates us.
So stop drowning in your own depressed neo-
patriotism and open your eyes. You are right
that people die, but that doesnt mean you cant
show some goddamned compassion.
I had a point here somewhere but the above posts
pissed me off so much I probably failed to make it.

You said it GoR....
dancingqueen - regardless of what you are trying to do, you are dumbing down an act of war, which upsets me. Go find a verteran who was around in the WWII era and say "boo-hoo, remember pearl harbor?, boo-hoo" I bet you wouldent. It is a matter of respect. Now I can respect opinion on the subject (I actually feel the prof that made the comments on teh new a few weeks ago had a point) but you had better show reasoning and thought behind that statement, but just some "Its popular to hate America, so I will" bullshit wont cut it. Get your story straight.
