It's as if to say, 'no, it's not horrible enough that these people were killed, oh no, we have to drag on these incidents by indulging in melodramatic fantasies!' In essence this means that those who lost loved ones not only have to live with these losses forever, they also have to live with the people who deny that any of it ever happened. It does no good to forget history or to deny it. All it does is desensitize people; it tells them that it's all just a game, which then risks the possibility of nobody taking it seriously enough to prevent something similar from happening again.","author":"Rebecca McNutt","tags":["9-11","conspiracy-theory","denial","deny","desensitize","forget","fraud","game","history","hoax","holocaust","remember","september-11-attacks","tragedy","world-trade-center","world-war-ii"],"id":384857,"author_id":"Rebecca+McNutt"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":7,"pages":1}}
