The Nehor Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 The time has come again. A time to reflect on the tragedy that struck eleven years ago today.I found this tribute video that reminded me of the feelings and emotional impact of that day. I invite all LDS and those of other faiths or no faith to join me in commemoration. Thank you for joining me in that.I apologize to anyone offended by what they saw. I sometimes take Tragedy too lightly or use humor as a defense mechanism. I am not crass. I lost a friend myself when the towers were hit.He is believed to have died in the initial impact because of where he was that day. The only consolation I can find is that my friend died doing what he loved, namely piloting airplanes into large buildings.Happy 9/11!
The Nehor Posted September 11, 2012 Author Posted September 11, 2012 You live so dangerously.Is that a compliment or condemnation?
thesometimesaint Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I will never forget that tragic day.
Calm Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Is that a compliment or condemnation? In the spirit of the communal nature of this thread, I will allow you to take it however you like.

Calm Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) Whenever I can....which is not very often sadly.PS: does being willing to take on Bro. Meldrum in his accusations of FAIR count? If so, perhaps I live more dangerously than I previously thought...... Edited September 11, 2012 by calmoriah 1
bluebell Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I didn't personally like that, as it seemed to make death and suffering into a joke. I can only imagine what i would think if someone put a video of my grandfather dying to comedic music, for example. I would find such offensive and imagine that many who lost loved ones that day would find the video offensive as well.However, i don't mean that as a judgment as i know that we all deal with tragedy in our own way. While i find the video in poor taste, maybe it serves a higher purpose that i just don't get, but that helps someone else.Either way, i join you Nehor in remembering this day.

I would find such offensive and imagine that many who lost loved ones that day would find the video offensive as well.Amen to that.The music was totally inappropriate, as was they sped up video ... to match the ill-chosen music.In my opinion, Amazing Grace is more that a bit more appropriate: By the way, there's another tragic 9-11 episode (n Utah history) for which slain innocents should be remembered ... the Mountain Meadow Massacre — Septermber 11, 1857. 2
Calm Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 By the way, there's another tragic 9-11 episode (n Utah history) for which slain innocents should be remembered ... the Mountain Meadow Massacre — Septermber 11, 1857.Both instances are great reminders of what happens to our relationships with others when we let fear and hatred rule our souls. 1
The Nehor Posted September 11, 2012 Author Posted September 11, 2012 I personally refuse to believe that Yakkety Sax is ever inappropriate music.
Saints Alive Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I also think the "tribute" takes a very sad moment in history too lightly. Bad karma for you Nehor
The Nehor Posted September 11, 2012 Author Posted September 11, 2012 I also think the "tribute" takes a very sad moment in history too lightly. Bad karma for you Nehor Guess my humor is just odd. I sent this to a friend. His response:That is terrible and sick and you are going to hell. How can you try to make that......bwahahaahahahaha.......okay, I broke down and am now laughing. All is forgiven.
Tacenda Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Amen to that.The music was totally inappropriate, as was they sped up video ... to match the ill-chosen music.In my opinion, Amazing Grace is more that a bit more appropriate: [media=] By the way, there's another tragic 9-11 episode (n Utah history) for which slain innocents should be remembered ... the Mountain Meadow Massacre — Septermber 11, 1857.http://www.rickety.us/2008/08/mountain-meadows-massacre/I thought if anyone is interested in remembering the MMM today they could look at these photos.
tyler90az Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I rarely get offended... Congrats you succeeded!

BlueDreams Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Yeah, personally uncomfortable and I enjoy sick humor. I was living 15 or 20 minutes south of DC and in middle school. Months went by before I could stop being extra aware of every airplane flying over my head....and it wasn't just me, I remember asking my cousin when we'd stop noticing them. So most of the video left me feeling kinda sick and tense.But I do admit, the people running to yakkety sax did give me a smirk.With luv,BD Edited September 12, 2012 by BlueDreams

The Nehor Posted September 12, 2012 Author Posted September 12, 2012 I have to apologize. I posted the wrong video. Turns out there are multiple 9/11 Yakkety Sax videos and I did not post the funniest one. I have failed you all and repent in sackcloth and ashes. The funniest one has things like reversing the plane crash and then having it crash again, people jumping........I am so sorry I failed all of you and my country.
