    Pearl Harbor happened 82 years ago. That’s almost a lifetime. If you read up on that, it’s also pretty messed up to joke about. Been there. It’s pretty significant/solemn. On the USS Arizona alone over 1,100 people died. They did not pull the bodies from the wreck and built a memorial on top of it. I really wouldn’t joke about that one either.

    9/11 happened in many people’s lifetimes and people still live with the damage. My brother in-law saw the first plane hit in person and has that memory seared into his head. I saw the coverage of people jumping to their deaths because they didn’t want to burn to death. I’d highly recommend the movie Reign Over Me. It’s probably the best things Adam Sandler ever did.

    The same people that make fun of 9/11 want people to support Palestinians. It’s a strange dichotomy.
