Gender reveal party (New York, 2001)

TBH I think the most jokes may actually come from the U.S.

I think the impact of 9/11 has had the time to reach everyone on the personal level it is going to. Some obviously are affected more than others. I've done my research and I'll never forget some of the imagery and conversations. Those are unmistakably tragic. I understand it was all part of a larger conflict.

That being said, the U.S. has to be able show that it is not fixated on hate or disaster. Jokes are good way to show release of negative emotions associated with a dark time in one's history. If we have learned from the past, then that is what is most important for societal progress. Perhaps this is why Germany has such a mature outlook on its political history?
