Just wondering if i am alone on this. I remember 9-11 as a scar on my memory, and not once yet since have i revisted it in my mind and not wanted to clutch my chest.I dont think in this regard i am an excessively emotional person.I dont think i posses a unique perspective from any one else.If anything i have a degree of disconection many dont have the luxury of, as i wasnt at the site on that day. The thing is, at any given moment, at any given time, the image of the towers smoking or collapsing is presented to me.In advertisements for coins.In political advertisements.Morning noon and night at some point each day some one is using the one of the most horrific events i have ever witnessed with little to no reverence. I was offended by Nicholas Cage being in a movie about it so much so that i cant watch his movies anymore due to the association.I know that is a tad extreme, but isnt that footage not only jihadi snuff material, but massively disrespectfull? Even Micheal Moore in his movie about it didnt show the imagery. It just seems to me as we get further and further from the event, the more we show it. I guess im just asking does any one else have a problem with being brought to tears at random? Am i too sensative, or is this offensive exploitation? added by: freecrack
