all the Palestinians and Iraqis i know have degrees in law, accountanting or computer science

It's worth pointing out that you only know Palestinians and Iraqis who could afford to move to New Zealand.

hmmm, how many do you know?

There's like 65% unemployment amon palestinians in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank and all the jobs are created by the Israelis. Those people are about two steps above speaking in clicks.

It's worth pointing out that computers speak in clicks, and enjoy a 100% employment rate.

trust me, if there were clicks over there, they'd be eating them.

a friend of mine just went to Libya this spring...and they are well on their way.

They shoulda spent less time with law, accountanting and computer science and gotten a real



lol

i just ran across that one while looking for the other new yorker map with the same idea. good call.

Says you:

did you just lol yourself?

I think it was ironical. It's still not as bad as awarding your own thread a "Thread delivers," as FT has done.

Haq's New Yorker cover, Bloor's clicks comment and Cory's deodorant post almost just cost me my job.

Best series of posts in a while, guys.

yes and no, most of the original ones to come over probably are, but then they bring over less rich relatives. But i mean i see your point.

Also, an attractive palestinian girl was sitting on my lap not 5 minutes ago

It's good to know that Tehran and South America are joining forces... we need more reality here in America.

Think how much more efficient we would become if we actually started getting attacked in our homeland. 9/11 caused us to decimate Afghanistan. We'd be goin all Israeli all over the Mideast. Syria would be gone. Iran would be gone. North Korea would be gone. And I mean Stoneage. Forget this "premeditated" crap. If we were to be officially attacked again, we would have all the support we needed to drastically decrease the populations of many a dark skinned territory.

We wipe our butts with anything that says UN as is. All we need is one more big attack and we'll dismantle the UN, focus our efforts in strengthening the Big Eight (adding in India would be awesome) and do all the death dealing we could ever dream of.

What's awesome is that this is exactly the kind of attitude that makes the rest of the country dislike New Yorkers so damn much. Jesus, could you get any more self-important?

let me go on record as being very skeptical about this whole thing. i would bore you with my conspiracy theory, but i am too lazy. suffice it to say that i don't think any planes were getting blowed up one way or the other.

thread delivers

Damn Cotton, I missed that the first time around. Awesome.

Hahahahaha. I was just flipping through the channels and a Chertoff intrerview was being played and part of what he said was this, "...and that is why the terror alert is still red and orange in the rest of the United States". I laughed audibly at that.

I think you're mistaken, because probably something close to 98% of New Yorkers hate Opa and his whining cousin-sucking ilk.

And I'll repeat, Opa--I thought you quit the board.

That's okay, I won't be visiting East Timor.

And what does this do to the airlines who were already circling the drain? What happens if/when it becomes unprofitable to operate a big national airline? Gas prices will keep rising, so driving becomes less and less attractive...

So what I'm saying is, I'll miss you Bloor.
