Why of course, but apparently 10 is a more "significant" number.
The whole affair just makes me /sigh to be perfectly frank. Of all the atrocities that occur in this world, constantly, everywhere you would think people would want to forget more than celebrate them.
It's the whole LOOK LOOK TODAY IS THE DAY X HAPPENED mentality that does my head in. People should do what they want, in their own way where it actually means something. Threads like these annoy me.
9/11 WOOO +1
Why cast a spotlight over the people who were affected and plaster it all over televised media, papers. So everyone can have a real feelgood getting involved warm fuzzy feeling? It sucks it happened, it sucks people lost lives but it did not affect me and I won't for a second pretend it did like it has for some people. I think it's somewhat disrespectful.

UGH, thats quite depressing, why didn't put it to Tiesto's remix of adagio for strings instead, much more upbeat
F*ck just been to hell and back watching United 93 .... I wonder if someone bigger than Big Albert ever stood up to Bush and told him the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia and not Iraq ... my nerves are shattered , don't normaly drink vodka raw but I'm making an exception after that .....
@attention seeking/drunk/drugged up phil128 : EMO?2 beautiful daughters, 1 beautiful wife , big house , 3 cars , manager at Nissan UK. If that makes me an EMO then fair enough
How is bragging an indication that you're not emo?
What have your supposed material possessions, job title and family member count got to do with you not being an emo? Whut?
I guess they should have stayed home in the UK then/
Are all those Iraqi's who died not your fellow men ? surely you can give them a mention too.
It's not the 10 year anniversary of their deaths, though, is it.
It's pretty simple, this is a thread to mark an anniversary when 2,973 people were murdered. If you feel the need to remind others about other tragic deaths then maybe start a thread on that anniversary otherwise stop de-railing the thread.

Rest in peace.
Nope, sorry you are wrong and quoting an online thesaurus won't save you!
The clue is in the name. Gallows humour is made by the person affected by the hopeless situation not some idiot with photoshop. However if phil128 had posted that pic from one of the Twin Towers, certain of his imminent death, then you would be correct.
Despite your ignoring the synonyms also listed on thesaurus, how about
