I could totally see that happening if Bush didn't give a shit about Israel.


Solution: Memo to all Israeli citizens: You are welcome to come and live in the United States, maybe we'll even work out something akin to dual citizenship or even a Native Americans situation, but if you chose to stay in Israel, dont expect any protection, dollars, or weaponry. Jerusalem will be walled and guarded by U.S. Marines. Entry and exit may be made for religous pilgrimages, on foot, and only then after extensive search.

Once the Palestinians figure out that they are two dumb to foster any sort of economy, we'll be happy to go in, build resorts and employ them as servants on our new American Meditaranean Paradise.

Any other problems?

If only Bush had the balls of say Harry Truman or Cobra Commander, we would pepper Mecca and Medina with leaflets and over the air warnings to get out in the next 48 hours because we are going to nuke one of the two; then we broadcast an explosion of a nuke out on one of those islands and say, "We were just fucking around this time, but seriously kids--this shit is over. Oil is now $20 a barrel. If you dont like it, we start turning your cities into glass tops for our coffee tables. That is all."


You seriously crack me up, Bloor. Jesus, I nearly spilled my coffee.

And the terror alerts are nationwide for us, not just the big bad NYC. Sometimes Chris you seem pretty near-sighted. I am pretty sure people can care about loss of life of other people besides themselves to a point at which they would care regardless of their physical proximity. Maybe you only are concerned about your own life, which is fine, but don't assume everyone else is the same as you. Also, for someone that lives 5 miles from the largest Naval base in the world, and a city which is basically a result of the Navy, thereby being one of the top targets in any major war whether it is terrorism or WWIII, I can say that I get pretty concerned with threats like these.

Yes, I am concerned. I find it odd that you are adamant about how it's just too soon and insenstive to watch a film about 9/11 because it was just so emotionally draininng on you etc, etc, but you brush off a thwarted attempt of this scale as just no biggie. It's this weird place of limbo you seem to be in--it only matters if it actually happens. That, to me, is sort of bizarre.

I am sorry I annoy you. I didn't mean to have an opinion.

You are four times more likely to die in a car accident than in a terrorist attack…in Israel.

Yes, I do find it tasteless to make a movie about 9/11 only 5 years after it happened. I don't see the point.
As for terror alerts, unlike other parts of the country, NYers live with the possibility of an attack everyday, yet we go about our business while you jerk-offs cry about it like little babies. And this idea that you and people in Omaha "care about the loss of our lives" seems a bit disingenuous.

“Get on the damn elevator! Fly on the damn plane! Calculate the odds of being harmed by a terrorist! It’s still about as likely as being swept out to sea by a tidal wave. Suck it up, for crying out loud. You’re almost certainly going to be okay. And in the unlikely event you’re not, do you really want to spend your last days cowering behind plastic sheets and duct tape? That’s not a life worth living, is it?”

-- Senator John McCain

Disingenuous is a great word, but certainly not applicable in regards to me. Nobody is crying like a baby either. We are simply stating that there is concern and that we are glad that this possible attack was thwarted. Plain and Simple. I guess because I have never lived in NYC I can't imperiously state and instantaneously assume that I have gone through more struggles, oppression, and have a greater resolve than someone living in Michigan or Virginia.

Why exactly does it seem disingenuous anyway? Because I am not actively there massaging your and every other new yorkers balls telling you it'll be ok?

I think we all are to a certain extent. Getting trapped on the train underground and getting an asthma attack is one of my biggest fears. But what're you gonna do? I just get a little annoyed by people who live in "Kalamazoo" telling me how I should react to terror alerts.

:D
