re: #783 Spare O’Lake

When I saw the second plane hit the WTC on live TV in my Toronto office tower I was traumatized. This takes nothing away from the Manhattanites or the actual physical victims. I don’t understand why you would feel that folks who say they felt traumatized are showing insensitivity or disrespect for New Yorkers. In fact I don’t think New Yorkers would mind a bit if others felt traumatized. Surely 9/11 was an event which can be fairly said to have traumatized America…and Canada too!
So why don’t YOU cut the crap?

But why were you traumatized? Was it because we were attacked on our own soil? Because your world view was changed? Why? Trauma implies that 9/11 inflicted some sort of deep injury to your psyche from which you will never recover.
