I'm not trolling; I actually mean what I am saying.
Why should I be caring about those people? It hinders the progress of society to mourn for those we have no relation to. We should be taking time to prevent terrorist attacks, not looking back at them with remorse.
So no jokeru, if NYC was bombed I would probably stop reading the news for a few weeks to stay away from the waste of journalism that will be produced as an upshot.
How do you know you have no relation to them? Maybe you need a pacemaker someday, and it turns out, that due to some reason you cannot have that pacemaker due to IDK lymphocytes counts or something.
But, that Cal Poly Master's student from the USA that was over there on foreign exchange doing graduate work, maybe she was working EXACTLY on that pacemaker for you?

Its not a very realistic scenario... I'm just making a point of, its funny how things you don't think would affect you can.
If not for 9/11, A guy I know's mom doesn't quit her job where she was working in one of the twin towers and they don't move. As a result he doesn't go to the college that I attended since it was cheaper than where he was going to attend prior to her quitting that job. This guy turns out to be the neighbor of me in the freshmen dorms, a good friend of mine, and the person whom I crashed at when I packed up my car with everything I owned and moved out west 5 years later.
I don't know him, I have nowhere to crash as my car breaks down on my way to moving somewhere i didn't end up moving to... Then, I never meet a girl at a job i got through a temp agency, that just so happens to now turn out to be my wife.
My wife.
And I can say with good accuracy, if not for 9/11 I wouldn't have met her.
Just saying, you think this doesn't impact you, but it does, has, and will... you just don't know how it has yet.
