As for "The wounds being fresh", the majority of people aged 11 and under might not even know about it, that's coming up to a whole generation of people already, it's not that recent a tragedy that making a joke about it is still "kicking you when you're getting back up". Did you know Genghis Khan has a 0.5% chance of being your ancestor, do you know how he died?[/quote]Having sex I'm pretty sure, but I don't see how that's relevant. And people under the age of 14 aren't very relative in this discussion. They're not the people we're worried about. They're not going to have much of a connection to 9/11 barring any patriotic one or one gained via cultural-osmosis. The people who're going to get offended are the people who're sixteen and older. People around my age were in Kindergarten or 1st grade, and if you understood what was going on then your memory of the event was possibly even more horrific than some adults. Hell, one of the planes crashed into my state, too. My grandpa was in the Pentagon (on account o' he worked there) at the time and I didn't find out til years later that he was actually really close to where the plane hit. The point is that almost everyone has some sort of connection to 9/11 even if they did't live in NYC and because of the fact that everyone has a connection to the people-on-people attack and the immense panic it created and this new era of "War on Terror" it ushered us into that is still going on, we're nowhere near the point where making fun of the event is okay. (For the record, I'm against any sort of making fun of the Haitian Earthquake, Japanese Earthquake, London Subway Bombings, Norway Massacre, or any other horrific event that happened in recent memory.)
