At least some people understand. If Danel didn't keep mixing quotes around so that it suits his need, then I wouldn't mind those previous posts. For example, in one of his earliest posts, he said as a quote "Someone explodes, big wow" when in the conversation I said "Something explodes, big wow" you can see this from a later bunch of quotes. So this clearly shows that he has been editing the quotes. Do not edit them Danel, people will see "Edited by Danel at yadadada" if you do, so there's no point. Thank you Gimdin, you understand. And Tim And I'm not sure who said it...but people dying is horrible?? Oh dear god, if ppl didn't die, we'd have complete chaos. These disasters are here to help keep the population in order. Also, because of this event, America will probably blaim terrorists for an excuse to go to war and then more people will die and another topic like this will be made -_-

Its almost impossible for terrorist to do it was too high and going to fast for a STA missle to hit it. I was surprised when Bush didn’t say anything about it in his speech. But you are right people will think terrorist did it or Saddam (sp?) did it. Its pathetic how ignorant people can be.

Think about it this way would you still be as sad as you are now if a car crashed and killed 7 people?

No, but your comparing two totally different things. On the spaceship there where people representing their country and contributing to the human pursuit of knowledge. People can die in a car crash for stupid reasons, like drinking and driving and not obeying traffic rules etc. I'm not saying all car crashes are out of stupidity, there are other conditions, but I doubt a spaceship exploded because somebody wasn't doing what they were supposed to be. Also, how many people were sad whne Princess Diana died in the car crash years ago.
Right now, I think everybody should just leave each other to their own opinions and not worry about what other people might say or think. Just go the way you feel, you know?

Lunar is the only one who's being sensible in this thread. You guys are talking about Cookies in this thread? I thought this was supposed to be a saddened topic...apparently it's not OK for me to be happy on a day like this, but everyone else can be as cheerful as they want about Cookies. Hmph, talk about unfair.

The cookie talk was just to lighten up the uncomfortable tension in this thread. Sure it may have been a little uncalled for but it should hardly be frowned upon.
I think most of our points got across in one form or another. Like Lunar said, we should just leave each other to their own opinions.

You guys are all pathetic. Inquis may not feel too much regret when something terrible happens, but some people are like that to be honest. Though it was cold of inquis, you can't ruin this whole topic by yelling at him for saying it. And Kremzy, you should be ashamed you yourself too. It's one thing to post a private conversation with opinions people may have not wanted everyone else to hear, but to distort it just to make it sound worse on the person who said it? That's really low. ------------------------------- I did edit that part where you said "something blew up" to "someone blew up". We edited it to make it better. What yous aid was worse than the edit. ------------------------------- Something blew up was worse? Wow. To tell you the truth many things blow up and malfunction every day. People aren't always involved in it, and though Inquisitor might have been referring to the space shuttle exploding, the fact is he didn't say the people directly. By changing it to people makes it sound negative in a way that Inquis doesn't care for humanity. That worsens everything and people may take it the wrong way. I'm taking neither of your sides, and I'd suggest that you stop this petty arguing before you all forget what this topic was really meant for: Honoring those who lost their lives for their nation and not bashing on inquisitor for some thoughtless thing said on the first page. _____________________________ Inquis, we're pretty much already at war. There is no technology known to be able to destroy the space shuttle. It would have been impossible for someone to bomb the shuttle, and there are no space weapons technology, nor were there Iraqi officers in texas waiting for the shuttle to pass and shoot it down with a rail gun. That pretty much eliminates all possibilities. People have such negative views about the US these days. Sheesh.

Do you know what happened in my town just 2 days ago? A mother and her four-year old girl were walking down the street, when a hit-and-run driver smashed into the girl, laucnhing her 50 feet into her own front yard, where she died instantly. The same day, a young boy riding his bicycle in a parking lot was killed by an incoming truck. Thousands of people die, every single day, and we don't all lament them. No, we as human beings all just read about it in the paper, say "Oh man, that's sad" then go on with our lives. Crying over a tragedy does not make it better. 7 people died in that shuttle, yes that's sad. But these were 7 full-grown people who had lived through a good portion of their life. Why is there no topic about the four-year old girl who died in her own yard, in front of the house that she grew up in? Why are there no candlelight vigils for the countless children raped and molested each day?

Good point. Brought up some stuff I never thought of. I never lamented for them, yet I found it sad. Point is, we all just need to move on eventually. No matter how heartbreaking an incident is. Are we going to spend the rest of our lives mourning a certain incident, or are we going to try to make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen again? Whether you want to spend the rest of your life getting shook up over this or moving on to other things, it's completely up to you. I for one strongly agree with Matkau.
