I feel like people around my age and younger, people who were either too young to remember it or weren’t even born yet, tend to make what could be seen as disrespectful jokes about 9/11 since we literally have no connection.

Hell, the only connection I have was being alive in a completely different part of the country. No family back east that far north and nobody we knew either in NY at the time. So I find it so much easier to make jokes about it. Also doesn’t matter how much I was told about it growing up, I just thought of it as another day off from school; another 3 day weekend for kid me.

It does suck that a lot of innocent people died, but what can you do besides move on? Especially if you never had any stakes in what occurred.
