<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> To everyone who still wines about Sept. 11, if you don't not have a friend/relative/loved one who died... get over it. Yes it was a tragic day, but there have been a lot of days that were a lot worse. Compare it to the Blitz in WW2 where that would have been a good night for the people living in London, or with Hiroshima or Nagasaki (not sure about the spelling on that one), or with the suffering that is going on in third world countries every day.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I understand the point you're trying to make, and I, too, believe that the movie should not be renamed. But, I fear you are downplaying September 11th too much. Yes, all suffering is bad. And yes, there have been many tragedies worse than September 11th. But, that is no excuse to tell people to stop whining about the death of their loved ones (you may not have meant that, but your use of two negatives indicates otherwise) or to get over the murder of thousands of people. It's one thing to say you don't agree with someone's opinion on the title of a movie, but it's quite another to tell them to get over the death of thousands of innocent people. I'm not telling anyone to get over the London Blitz, starving children in Africa, or any other atrocity that has occurred and neither should you.
