FEMA Removes 9/11 Coloring Book For Children From Website
FEMA has decided to pull a children's coloring book entitled, "A Scary Thing Happened" from their website. The coloring book contained three images of the twin towers on fire for children to color. Rose Olmsted, the coordinator behind the book said, "I stand firm that it was a very well thought-out and useful resource for kids, but it's obviously being misinterpreted by a lot of people." Since people are so upset about the coloring book, I can only assume FEMA's plan for a human remains concentration game will be put on hold.

Misinterpreted? Children colouring in a terrorist attack... This doesn't worry anyone?
I'm sorry but I think exposing children to this sort of material will desensitise them to such actions if (when) they happen again... Is that what we really want?
And more importantly, is this really news for nerds?
. . . have a page depicting the people trapped in the floors above the crash site leaping to their deaths on the sidewalks below rather than burn alive in the advancing flames?
I think our poseur of a president should watch those videos every morning as he eats breakfast. Then maybe he won't be so quick to call waterboarding "torture."
What?
Here's a fun game...try to build an argument without linking to Penny Arcade, XKCD, or the Simpsons. I'll bet 90% of people who post here regularly will be stumped. And if I also said, "Don't use an automobile analogy," the silence would be overwhelming.

I'm sorry, this is laziness masquerading as skepticism on your part.
How do you know what I'm thinking? Actually, know you don't. You're a Troll and I'm wasting my time. You are hyping up Art Therapy to boost a bogus point and yet it is obvious to me that you don't have any education in Art Therapy other than what you just recently Googled (and I doubt you actually read the book that you found on Amazon). Really. You think I'm an idiot. You think I'm silly. You shouldn't even bother replying to my posts. I've met people like you before. I sometimes wonder why I reply to Trolls. Maybe you are correct in your thinking. I probably am an idiot.
