I know that each and every one of us has been shaken by the tragic events of today. I also know that many of us will find that we have lost friends and
loved ones because of today's horrific acts. I just got off the phone with my cousin; she was actually on the phone to her best friend at his office in
the WTC when the plane hit. She heard the explosion, then nothing.
I'm drawn to this site to express my grief and disbelief because thefunnypages.com represents (to me) so much that it is right with the world: The
laughter, the humor, the friendships, and, most importantly, the understanding and warmth that evolves from dialogue between people who take the
time to express themselves.
May God keep us all strong through the events of today, and the consequences of those events in the future.
I would like to respectfully suggest that we suspend the contest for the rest of the week. I know I don't feel especially funny.

Dear Friends:
As a member of this great human race, as one who was born and raised in New York City, as a person who values friends and family, I am saddened
beyond belief by the events of the day. My thoughts and prayers go out to those who have lost loved ones, those who lie physically hurt from this evil
deed, and to the rest of us who must endure the pain of a cowardly and nonsensical act.
May today make us a stronger and more intelligent nation. And may we continue to learn that the everyday things in life -- like giving, sharing,
supporting, loving, and laughing -- do count in a very special way.

Im so sorry,terribly sorry.i might not be affected so much,but i can feel the horror and sadness,and although this is so insignificant to what the others are feeling,it already feels so terrible.I sincerely hope that this will end soon and may those innocent victims rest in peace..

That is the really sad thing -- Jennt said they were not affected because they are in Sinapore. But really if they can do this to the United States they can do this to anyone. The entire world is affected.
My prayers go out to all of the immediate victims as well as the human race.

Mac - Wanaque, NJ |

My very soul is bruised. In rapid succession, almost like the flash of a strobe light, my thoughts go from overwhelming sorry to black rage.
We must never forget the dark day that was September 11, 2001-- but we must never let our hatred lower us to the level of the craven cruelty of our attackers.
Pray for the victims and that those who survive them will somehow one day find solace and closure.

On this day of tragedy we must address the security of the United States. It has been over 10 years since the last hijacking of a U.S. aircraft, yet apparently, terrorists were able to hijack four in one day! Luckily, none of these were hijacked overseas where security is much more lax and perhaps nuclear weapons or chemical/biological weapons could have been smuggled on board. Tell me how, even if the Reagan/Bush/Bush Star Wars anti-missile system was operational we could have prevented the disaster of 9/11. This system is a total waste of money that even if it worked would not prevent a similar incident. Take the money earmarked for this system and instead direct it towards anti-terorist activities including bounties- Wanted Dead or Alive. The terrorists are where the real danger lies.

GOD BLESS THEM ALL WHO ARE OR WILL BE HURT BY THIS DEVISTATING ACT OF TOTAL COWARDNESS. ITS A SHAME WHEN WE HELP THOSE WHO NEED HELP AND COULDNT HELP THEMSELVES AND THEY TURN AROUND AND PUT US IN A PLACE OF DEVASTATION AND DISTRUCTION. THE PAST HAS RREVEALED ITSELF AND SHOWED US WHAT HAPPENS WHEN OUR GOVERNMENT THINKS THAT THE ONLY WAY TO BE IS NICE AND BACK DOWN TO EVERY PROBLEM AND FOREIGN PERSON. THIS WOULD OF NOT HAD HAPPENED IF WE WOULD OF STOOD UP FOR OURSELVES ALONG TIME AGO. THE BORDERS WEATHER THEY BE WATER OR LAND SHOULD OF BEEN SHUT DOWN CENTURYS AGO AND ALL THOSE FOREIGNERS WOULD OF NEVER HAD MADE IT TO OUR COUNTRY TO START WITH. WE CAN SURVIVE OUR SELVES ON WHAT WE MAKE AND SHIP IN OUR COUNTRY WE DONT NEED THEM AND NEVER DID BUT SOMEONE THOUGHT WE DID AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED. THEY ARE TRYING TO TAKE US OVER HEK THEY HAVE PROBABLY BEEN HERE FOR YEARS AND LIVED HERE MAYBE THEY OWNED THEIR OWN STORES AND SOME OF US MIGHT HAD SHOPPED AT IT. OR THEY COULD OF BE ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO CHECKED OUR LUGGAGE OR PUT OUR FOOD AND BAGS ON THE PLANE. THEY COULD OF EVEN BEEN THE STINKING PILOT. IAM VERY VERY SORRY BUT I AM JUST BESIDE MYSELF AND SICK AND TIRED OF US BEING THE CHICKENS THAT WE ARE. LIKE I SAID GOD BLESS ALL THAT ARE INVOLVED AND THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE JUST AS DEVISTATED AS I AM. ITS JUST NOT RIGHT. IT IS TIME THAT WE BECAME THE PRIORITY AGAIN NOT THE MINORITY(HOPEFULLY I SAID THAT RIGHT)GOD BLESS ALL

I want to know why the question is not being asked: How did they get into the cockpit?
Aren't the doors locked from the inside? They should be! Of course this after the fact, but there should be a policy whereby the cockpit is locked from inside and cannot be opened until aircraft has landed.....No stewardesses allowed in cockpit during flight, etc. They can put a prison type "sliding chamber" in door to transfer food and drink. The bathroom issue needs to be addressed of course - but I think this type of policy needs to be implemented.

America was founded upon Christian principles. But, over the last two hundred years we have been sliding down that slippery slope that is ruled by the all-mighty dollar. There have even been some who suggest to remove "In God We Trust" from our coins. They claim that it doesn't belong there. How deep into the pits of Hell does a nation need to fall before it realizes that the only way it can be strong and rightious is by relying on God? I love this country, but I am sadened by the ungodly path it is taking. Our laws protect whales, but not unborn children. It's okay to teach homosexuality in schools, but don't you dare pray in the classroom! An armed robber will get 20 years (or less) in prison, but a person growing marijuana will get LIFE! Our whole system has been turned upside-down! Maybe this recent tragedy will be our wakeup call. I challange everyone to "hate the sin" but "love the sinners". It's a biblical principle that most people find hard to swallow. I, of course, hate the violence those terrorists had done, and I find it difficult not to hate the terrorists, but that's exactly what we must do! They must be found and punished by our government, but we must not put ourselves in spiritual bondage by hating them. It's likely they will spend eternity in Hell for their actions, but that's up to God to determine for sure.

I have found by surfing that they have known for a long time that the cockpit doors are too flimsy and need to be beefed up...there have been previous problems with passengers breaking through doors to try to take control of planes...hopefully this beefing up of the doors will now occur - albeit too late...Sorry if I am focusing on this too much - I am having a difficult time dealing with this whole thing....

Sredni in mo,
Apparently they were threatening/killing the flight attendants to lure the pilots out.
These barbarians had training on the planes they turned into missles against us. They may have found ways around the security on the door.
We won't know until they find the "black boxes" what happened.

All of us around the world need to come together and root out all terrorism. Let these images, etched forever in our minds,
serve to motivate us to a better way. And let us be aware, it is so important to live a life of love, compassion. We need to deal with this and those who brought this horror on us. But we must live in the love God intends for all of us.
Bless all of you and all of those touched by perhaps the saddest day in our history. We can get through this--have faith. Please, hug your kids and grandbabies--they need you more than ever.

Phil, I think you exercised good judgment in shutting down the caption contest for the rest of the week. As much as I love cartoons (being a cartoonist myself), I'm not feeling really funny right now, either. By all means let's take this time to remember how really blessed we are in spite of this monstrous and devilish act of terrorism, and those that perished because of it (which no doubt will number well in the thousands). I think pro sports should suspend their events for the remainder of the week as well. And people like Robin Hoast and Mike Catch should be thinking more of their other fellow Americans instead of their own self-centered interests. God Help Us All!

Hey everybody;
Nothing funny about this week. I'm really sorry for anyone who knew anybody that was affected by the events this week.
It did give me time to reflect on what's important, and it's not jokes. It's the people around you that give a damn about you. Maybe we should think about that all the time, and not just when disaster strikes.

There has been nothing to laugh about for the past few days but maybe to smile about that a few fire fighters came out alive today.
I live miles away in Brooklyn and on Tuesday, the smoke and the smell and the ash was all over us.
One of the most impressive things that I saw, being miles away was pieces of burnt papers that came fom those offices of innocent people who died such terrible deaths.
"Pray for all of the victims and their families"
Thank all the firefighters, police, ems, hospital workers and all who provided help.
I hope one day we can be happy again.

Even the tiger in the jungle gets bitten by mosquitos. And: ever bothered to do a body count in Chile, Irak, Laos, Nicaragua, Panama, Vietnam,...? Pain is not measured in CNN apportioned news units - pain is real. Pain is real for everyone whether we learn about it, or not. We all have the chance to learn from the pain. If we blow it again, remember the story of the tiger and the mosquitoes.

Why war? why not just persecute those who did it, not bomb the country that the terrorists MAY have been from!!!!! STOP WAR!!! WE WANT PEACE!! If Bush starts to bomb and kill citizens in other countries or start a war, it will be no better than 'cowardly' running planes into his own countrie's buildings!!!!!! peace.
