farking New Jersey assholes

Eh, isn't that the point of a dedication plaque?

Mayor Samir Elbassiouny, whose name was on the stone, said it was just a small part of the main memorial.

"If I offended anyone, I apologize," said Elbassiouny.

Ah, the standard non-apology apology. Read as: "If you're offended, fark you."

So .... this is a non-issue?

Politician makes a mistake. Citizen points out error. Politician corrects mistake.

OUTRAGE!

OUTRAGE!

Did the town have to pay for the "mistake" and its correction?

itazurakko: What I'd like to know is why towns that had nothing whatsoever to do with 9/11 are now all getting pieces of steel from the building and making these memorials.

What is the point?

Last week had some article about one of these in Michigan.

There was a lot of freaking steal in those buildings. I pretty sure anyone who wanted a piece could get it.

Sick tag needed.

This kind of shiat is the inevitable result of the fertilization of grief.

Now people can literally have a piece of tragedy.

We are supporting the memorialization industry that is in dire need of our supp... wait, what? We get all that done in China? Carry on with the outrage then.

Springsteen is going to be livid.

Um...I've seen lots of memorials that had the mayor, committee and whatever group that got it made stamped on it. It's called a dedication.

itazurakko: EvilEgg: There was a lot of freaking steal in those buildings. I pretty sure anyone who wanted a piece could get it.

Sure. I just question why they want it. Why does every little podunk unrelated hamlet in the US need a "9/11 memorial?"

It's creepy.

That is weird. I know Washington Township fairly well (have a friend who had a farm just down the road for many years) and to have a memorial just to have a memorial seems a little too much.

Where I live, we have a whole park set up with a walk-thru garden with marble stones that have family sentiments on them. Thirty seven townspeople from the towers that day.

itazurakko: It's creepy.

I suppose you find a butterfly that enters the room unannounced creepy, as well.

LordOfThePings: RexTalionis: Eh, isn't that the point of a dedication plaque?

One of them was uptown on 57th Street. He was hit by a bike messenger.

Let's roll.

GAT_00: the only thing people want to do with 9/11 is capitalize on it

Dude, this is a capitalist nation.

When I first saw this crap on a commerical, my brother said to me "You know that once you push the towers down, you're just like the terrorists."

Brilliant Fark admins.... they take this headline and reject the better headline to an article that actually HAD a picture of the memorial.....



I can MAYBE see the mayor's name on a town's plaque honoring 9/11 as he is the "chief representative" of the town. But, really, we need the "Township Administrator" there too? Why not a little bit bigger plaque so you can get the dog catcher on there?

this is why there should only be memorials in nyc, dc, and pa. makes no sense anywhere else.

Small towns all over America will Never Forget^® what happened that day, even if they don't really understand the reasons why beyond the simple Fox tagline "They hate us for our freedoms".

Some people are just tragedy junkies.

AlwaysRightBoy: That is weird. I know Washington Township fairly well (have a friend who had a farm just down the road for many years) and to have a memorial just to have a memorial seems a little too much.

A farm? Wait... [clicks link] This is the Warren County Washington Township?!? That's like a farking hour away from NYC. Is there anyone who lives there that even works in New York? I was expecting the Bergen County Washington Township, which probably has a number of people who worked in the city and were in the vicinity of WTC at the time of the attacks.

GAT_00: Because farktards want to make a tourist trap out of a tragedy because the only thing people want to do with 9/11 is capitalize on it, and I'm pretty farking sick of it.

What else would you do with NINE ELEVEN?

/but, you know, capitalize it?
//i'm so sorry

Last week had some article about one of these in Michigan.

Never saw the thread but was it about the Underground Railroad on the waterfront? Cuz last year I was wondering what all the bricks were about until I figured that out (by actually reading the damn memorial). This article is a non-story.

Washington Township, NJ's 9/11 Memorial is engraved with the names of the town's politicians, not the names of any victims. Because there were no victims from Washington Township, NJ on 9/11

What an interesting "coincidence" that everyone from Washington Twp, NJ made it out of the World Trade Center unscathed. I think we need to find out the Truth behind this.

Politicians love raising monuments to themselves. If left unchecked, you get images of the Great Leader gracing the sides of buildings and his statues in public parks. They have to be a bit more subtle here.

Aint nothin new under the sun.

"What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun. "
