I'm not defending, just making a mass statement.

Good morning fellow NT peps. Wonderful to see that this thread is still alive and people with such strong opinions. Makes you feel alive.
I was thinking about this last night as I was sitting in front of the TV watching "Full Metal Jacket" eating leftovers from Christmas and something dawned on me. I have a responsibility here to report inspiring and current news. News does not stop because of a disaster of this magnitude. A lot of you have really good points, but it still doesn't prove to me that I should censor my news because a few of you are offended. Respect that, please?

Sure is big enough...

As I said though, I liked the videos... I'm just giving my point of view in this thread regarding what have been discussed and you come talking about being hyper-sensitive... It's obvious that what've occured haven't really affected you... 100.000+ dead...

I'm picking up what you're layin down but I gotta say when we are dealing with over 100,000 lives taken only 4 days new it might be worth taking down and reconsidering before expecting us all to understand your wanting to display it's beauty. Just might be slightly too new still while people are still searching for their loved ones. maybe in a month or so?

what's your mass statement?
this?
I just feel they were being to narrow minded.

Oh, please exound my ignorance?

btw there is nothing wrong with being humble right now and taking it down in respect. At least for some days or weeks Paul? Please?

as a former surfer I think those are beautiful images.
but I also think it's the wrong time for such a post.

i agree. just apologize. you'll feel better.
aren't you here to set an example?
- designerror0
I think you should leave it up..
it's nature, and you can't do shit about it.. if you don't wanna look at people surfing 40ft waves because you link it to the tsunami waves, then simply don't click to links!

I have nothing to apologize about. I understand their point and feelings, so understand mine.
Plus, I'm not here to set any sort of example. I don't consider myself above anyone. The only people that I have a responsibility to, is my children. I think you are missing my point , _salisae_
- Plusone0
I just see it as controversial but am unclear as to why that is always a good thing.
- _salisae_0
if your children had just been kidnapped and someone came over and made jokes about kidnapping kids you'd think it was inappropriate
- d5ive0
That post is not a joke.
- _salisae_0
no - but it's making light of a dreadful situation
- Anarchitect0
so is crashing planes vids on 9/11?
- d5ive0
It is not making light of anything. If you read it that way, then so be it. But just becasue this has happened, doesn't mean that we have to keep our eyes shut to the beauty in the world.

I'll leave the killing for qbn... :-)
