Those are the 30min during which the planes hit the towers.

EDIT: I personally believe the idea is tacky and half assed, I was only trying to clarify in case there was actual confusion as to why they chose what appeared to be a completely arbitrary 30min.

[–]RainbowSherbertPoop 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (46子コメント)

His point was that it's silly to only mourn for 30 minutes when the whole day was a tragedy.

[–]NotAModBro 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (45子コメント)

So lets turn it in to veterans day where everyone uses it as an excuse to drink and have a BBQ. Shorter Moments of silence and 30 mins to an hour of remembering a tragedy tends to have a bigger effect on people. When you turn it into a whole day process people tend to forget what they are celebrating/mourning, and turn it into something its not.

And now you're taking things out of context. Were talking about a hotel here, not individuals. The hotel should serve the the coffee and muffins and what not all day if they're doing it for 9/11. The people that get to the hotel at 8:45 are the only ones that get to mourn? Thats what the other person was alluding to. But please, take my words and exaggerate them harder.

They had what not?! I love what not!

[–]NotAModBro -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (7子コメント)

Or its perfectly fine for someone to mourn for the 30 minutes instead of the whole fucking day. Its people like you that turn a nice simple gesture in to something bad and negative.

[–]RainbowSherbertPoop 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Again, were not talking about the people. We're talking about the hotel. Are you just ignoring that part or are can you not read? So other businesses should only mourn with their flags at half mass for 30 minutes? The point was that small "mourning" gestures can go on all day, as in coffee and muffins, where as bigger mourns should only be half an hour. But if you want to compare muffins and coffee to a BBQ, then be my guest.

[–]NotAModBro -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yes we are talking about the hotel. And it is up to them how they feel on remembering victims. It is not up to you to tell them how you think they should do it or its wrong. Get some sense.

[–]borodino 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

No, pretty much it IS up to us to call out half-wits and their half hour "memorials" complete with tepid coffee and stale pastries....to a day which fundamentally changed the world.

Now I think we've all moved on to calling out another half-wit. Please. By all means let's explore you for a bit more, shall we, genius? Let's guess, you either shill for Mariott or are just shrill and semi-hysterical about coffee and muffins all the time. Which?

[–]NotAModBro 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Neither. I just find people pathetic to complain about a company's attempt to do something good because it is no up to your standards.

[–]RainbowSherbertPoop 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Also I never said it was bad or negative, you're just taking it that way.

[–]NotAModBro -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

You don't have to say it to imply it. Your bitching about how someone did a memorial. Its up to them how they want to do it not up to you to tell them how they Should have.

[–]RainbowSherbertPoop 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Again, I'm not "bitching" I'm bringing to light the other person's reasoning, yet I'm the one being raged on. No, IM not implying it was bad. You're just taking it that way. The original comment being replied to here, is the one making it seem bad by saying "for only thirty minutes." I was simply bringing to light his reasoning to the other person who didn't get his sarcasm. Just because I explain someone's possible reasoning, doesn't mean that it's my own. Don't be ignorant.

[–]serendipitousevent 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yeah, because nothing says respect like completely ignoring the people who died on the other two planes at around 10am!

I'm no expert, but I think it might have been more appropriate to provide Memorial Muffins™ for the whole of the day, considering the cumulative human losses. A minute's silence at 8:46 marks the event itself - you can have the best of both worlds.

[–]NotAModBro -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Its not up to you how someone wants to have a fucking memorial though is it? They decided to do it this way, its their fucking right. They didn't have to do a god damn thing yet they did. Stop being so fucking negative when someone tries to do something nice. Also because you choose to remember those in your home state does not mean disrespect to the others. Get a fucking clue.

Calm yo tits.

[–]dane83 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (29子コメント)

Wait, was I supposed to not drink and have a BBQ yesterday?

My bad.

[–]NotAModBro -3 ポイント-2 ポイント  (28子コメント)

Drinking and the bbq are fine. I said most people tend to forget what they are mourning and just turn this kind of shit in to an excuse to drink and have a BBQ. If you find 9/11 as just another reason to have one than you are who I am talking about. If you are having a bbq with friends and family to mourn and remember the ones lost than its fine, but that's hardly ever the case.

[–]dane83 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (27子コメント)

It's not really up to you to decide how other people live, though.

Honestly, though, I couldn't think of a better way to spend 9/11 than BBQ and drinking with friends and family. Make it July 4th the 2nd. Show the world that our spirit won't be broken and that we will remember those that we lost and those that gave their lives fighting for other Americans.

Hell, now I'm a little mad at myself for not actually having a BBQ and drinking yesterday, or any 9/11 for the last decade. This is becoming my tradition from now on.

Thanks, random internet person, you've just inspired me.

[–]NotAModBro -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (26子コメント)

If you read my other comments I said a BBQ and drinking is fine. It depends on how you do it. Good job looking like an idiot. You realize you agreed with me right? I said if the bbq with friends and family to remember the victims is fine. Which is what you just said you would start doing lol.

[–]dane83 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (25子コメント)

I said thanks, random internet person?

It's still not up to you how other people do their day.

[–]NotAModBro -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (24子コメント)

I am pretty sure I never told anyone how to "do" their day. I said what was socially acceptable for a memorial.

[–]dane83 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (23子コメント)

By labeling things as not being socially acceptable, you kind of are.

Why does it matter to you how other people spend their day? Do you, man.

[–]Herxheim 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

i never met a vet who opposed bbq's and beers.

[–]NotAModBro -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

You are missing the point.

[–]FloobLord 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Incredibly fucking tacky, to the point of being offensive. I'm always amazed that multi-million dollar corporations with huge PR budgets can do things this boneheaded.
