i think you're missing the point of the issue.
No, I was simply arguing the points you use to explain why it moved you.

Kids in Africa die from natural, albeit still unsettling, causes.It's a shame they've got no food or water, but that's what naturally happens when you have neither.
They weren't killed on a regular day by terrorists.
I'm not saying the people killed in the W.T.C. were more of a loss, just explaining why it was perhaps sadder.
I was also referring to Congo, not hunger issues. There were no terrorist involved in 9/11. Even if there happened to be, the incident pales in comparison to the ongoing tragedies that are occuring around the world.

i understand that 100%. however, i think you countering my opinion with things like "why would doom care", is missing the overall intention of the issue.
But the intention of the issue was to call attention to a treagedy which wasn't that great. When I called you on that, you made the comment about how "heroes failed to stop it" and all that, hence my prior post.

if you cant understand why the writers can take time to have these characters, both good and evil, reflect on a real world tragedy then you must be in need of a life & are dense

Well, many could fix it. Any person with reality warping powers could fix it.Dr. Doom himself could hop on one of his time platforms, go back in time dressed as a doctor and be like:
"Vell, congratulations Mrs. Bin Laden, eet iss a boy. Eet is also VERY DEAD!", and kill it.
It's rarely touched on for this very reason.
What would be the point in having terrorist threats? You can just get rid of terrorists. You can't just get rid of Dr. Doom or Magneto.
If S.H.I.E.L.D. were real or whatever, they'd just say "Yo, Rhodes. Go speng over to Afghanistan will you?".

puts a little more humanity into the comic world.

Clearly you are the dense one when you're obsessing over a like a thousand people who got offed in America. Civil War in Congo has about 30 thousand kids/women killed a month. The Majority of those women are raped, many of whom are raped by kid-soldiers and so on.It was severe because media blew it up.
I'm obsessed? I wasn't aware of that but thank you for being concerned. idiot

it was a tragic event for several reasons - the media is not one of them.

There are far greater tragedies happening daily in the world.
Do you have anything on this? of course not.

are those tradgedies? yes of course. do they have anything to do with this topic? no. the writers were using their characters to reflect on something that happened here in america, not the congo. so they break character for an issue. if you dont like it, DON'T READ IT. that simple

heh, i'm not going to delve into any social issues with you. for one: this is the wrong forum for that type of banter, and two: it'd obviously be a moot argument.
We're discussing why it was such a severe tragedy, which is very relevant to why you'd be moved by the scene. So go ahead.

Take the penises out of your ears and other orifices.
I am discussing with Galan why I did not find the incident to be moving.

lol are you upset little girl? now youre not talking to me? i couldve swore you replied to me a few times, my mistake for believing you were talking to me by replying to me but you weren't. lol dumbass
It was/is the single greatest terrorist act in human history, Kris.
That's a fact, there's not much blowing up needed.
Nobody is denying that there have been higher body counts or worse on-going conflicts. I'm not sure why you seem hellbent on insisting that it was no big deal just because there are bigger deals.
Why does class matter? If loss of life, to you, is tragic, why does it matter what class they are? Be it middle, lower or upper?

Do the same for the Congolese civil war.
Why is it tragic beyond people dying?

Explain.
