Someone’s rebuilt the World Trade Center in Second Life, just for 9/11. You’ll find it in the Elegua Sim. We poked around the virtual erections and could not find any demolition charges set in the intact towers, but you can teleport to the observation deck and grab a snapshot of yourself jumping in the pre-war-on-terrorism age.
ADDENDUM: Who can know the minds of the WTC victims who chose to jump into the void of city sky out their windows, sooner than being engulfed in flames. With no aerial help on its way, did they hope that rescuers might be hustling up a means to catch those who jumped?
Perhaps the best of all terrible recourses was to make a final grand swan dive, a final extreme adrenaline ride, public or not, an expression of control over a predicament not of your making. Of course much hay has been made about whose actions brought this fate home to roost, but that’s a discussion for another time.
Who is to say we must avert our eyes when the WTC jumpers took a brave Warholian leap into the 9/11 national tragedy?
One more time, because you’re not getting the message very clearly. Not my fault because it was spelled out to you very clearly.
You do not nor will you ever have the privilege of threatening anybody, civilian or military. If you insist that you’re giving us freedom you will be called a liar and you need to grow the hell up and learn to accept truth.
By the way, I left the E-club and other forms of self destruction to the fools. And, there were plenty of them.
Apparently still are.
My great uncle Clay took a Yankee Minie ball upside the head somewhere in Northern Virginia fighting for slavery. At least afterward he had the BALLS to admit that’s what it was all about.
Sure, he took a stand far a cause. But that “cause” was WRONG and so is the one you say you fought for in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I can’t be ashamed of what Uncle Clay did, sure as Hell can’t be proud of it either. You gonna turn from fighting a for-profit war overseas and then get all pissy and whiny and threatening when people notice that’s what you war was all about, and tell you about it?
No, sir, I ain’t in the market for fresh pork on the hoof.
Sell that hog to somebody dumb enough to buy it.
Chill out Bill, no one’s coming your way, unless it’s cops to ask what you meant by your threat “pay you a visit and vent my frustration” etc. Thank you for volunteering that info, but I’ll add, your IP doesn’t match the address you gave…
As a soldier, whether a pencil-pusher, driver or recruiter, your work supports the uniformed thugs out there killing innocents, many who it turns out are children and babies, that makes you a baby-killer, and because you can’t figure that out, you’re a dumb-ass.
Arguing with shombies is for noobs.
Yeah, its my too-favorite rule for breaking.
this is the limit !!!!
sooo tasteless…
Tasteless isn’t a crime, although we’ve been threatened with street-level death penalty for it.
If there were limits on free speech based on how offensive it is, the entire Madison Ave/Wall Street/Military Industrial Complex would be lined up in front of a belt fed, water cooled machine gun for their commercials… including the incredibly violent video games like “Call of Duty” in all its incarnations, especially the new “Home Front” edition where you get points for murdering Americans in America.
It started out as a user modification where the modder actually boasted that he got points for burning Homeless People.
Although he is probably too chickenshit to do it himself, it does foster the mindset that people who are declared “Not Real Americans” should be killed, and, the ones who promote that particular madness know that they can count on some meth-moron like Jared Laughner will do it for them.
Then they’ll get all upset and say it’s “Blood Libel” to point that fact out to them.
The same people who wired up that anti-American Terrorist make a whole lot of money peddling Hate in the name of 9/11, they’ve got thousands of Americans killed and a literally uncounted number of citizens of other nations killed, and made a profit off each and every death, starting with the deaths of the people in the Towers.
You see, unlike a “tasteless” reminder of their guilt in those murders-for-profit, the murders and thefts from which they profit ARE crimes.
And all they have to do to get away with their continual murder spree is to have morons chant “9/11!” every time their guilt is pointed out.
I agree with your gov’t being evil etc. but it still doesn’t excuse how stupid & tasteless the original second life post was. Your point could be 100% right; it still wouldn’t excuse how wrong it was.
You found what you thought was a funny joke and found a way to display your edgy sense of humour. According to the majority of commentators, you’re advertising irrelevant, gratuitous mockery of the 9/11 victims. All the corpses of innocent babies in the world won’t change the fact that your original post was just plain wrong.
Now have the balls to admit that you were wrong and take it down, because it’s not convincing anyone other than your fans to convert to your arguments. It’s just convincing people that you are a douche who can’t admit any wrong-doing on his part, much like your gov’t.
Hi, I just seen that on occasion this webpage displays a 500 error message. I thought you would like to know. Thanks
