"'Homeland'-inspired hoax bomb and nerve gas threat to NYC and LA schools was emailed by 'bullied devout Muslim student who had joined a jihadi cell'. . . but who gave game away by spelling Allah with a small 'a' - LA superintendent said the threat was unique and he couldn't 'risk it' - He ordered all 900 schools to be closed, affecting 640,000 children - New York received the same threat, officials dismissed it as 'outlandish' - NYPD's Bill Bratton said the language mirrors recent Homeland episodes - He said the author made basic errors, spelled 'Allah' with lowercase 'a' - Email sent to school districts 'described plans to bomb students' "

So obviously this was a prank and the person who sent it is not who they claim to be. My money is either on a bored (but devilish) highschool or college student, or a Trump/GOP supporter to further polarize the population by spreading hate and thus ensuring Trump's Triumph. I hope they catch whoever it is--white, black, Muslim, non-Muslim, whatever--and spank the hell out of them. (aside from locking them away for at least a decade)

Wait...Are they seriously basing the idea that this was a prank on spelling Allah with small 'a'? I'm not saying we should take every threat absolutely seriously, shutting the whole thing down at the smallest hint of a threat, but couldn't that just have a been a typo on a serious threat?

So now terrorists can sneak through a back door, avoiding suspicion with strategic spelling errors.

12/16/2015 8:48:30 AM

So watchu sayin is, when terrorists and Nigerian scammers team up, we will be fucked?

12/16/2015 8:50:03 AM

Oh I am not saying that because of the small "a" they shouldn't have shut down the schools. Hindsight is always 20-20. Imagine if they hadn't shut down and something had happened. But obviously NY was like "yeah whatever... prank!"

On the contrary, I'm often the only one making "points".

I think part of the frustration from any disagreeing posters comes from the fact that their best and only retorts (besides straw men arguments) are classics like "you're dumb" or "you're racist" or "shut up". While these are great tools to have in an argument, personal attacks really don't counter "points", hence the annoyance.

12/16/2015 10:32:18 AM

Nah, you're annoying, you keep repeating the same thing over and over, you constantly ignore facts, you use anectdotal evidence to support your agenda, you use a lot of strawmen yourself, and you seem to have too much time on your hands.

12/16/2015 10:37:33 AM

You're welcome to provide specific examples if you feel that is the case.

A common theme I have noticed is a vague reference to "the facts" but whenever I follow up on it, no specifics are ever provided.

"Contrary to previous reports, the FBI said on Wednesday that suspected San Bernardino, Calif., shooters Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik did not express their support for jihad publicly on social media. FBI Director James Comey told reporters that there was “no evidence of a posting on social media by either of them.” He said the couple indicated their support for jihad in private messages and emails dating back to 2013."

If by "criticize" you mean throw around baseless accusations of "racism" because you apparently lack the mental capacity to actually discuss something with someone you disagree with. Maybe you two need to go back to a "safe space"?

12/16/2015 12:31:47 PM

lo, valiant effort

12/16/2015 12:47:05 PM

Harping on "safe spaces" (which to my knowledge no one on TWW ever supports) seems like something someone in a conservative echo-chamber would say as part of the anti-PC narrative..

Am I doing it right?

Well, I did get suspended without warning for voicing dissonance in the echo-chamber that is the soap box.

If you don't like something I say you are welcome to quote it and explain why, but particularly posters like Bullet / UJustWait84 / dtownral don't seem to be capable of doing so and resort to "no ur dumb racist". Resorting to character attacks is weak stuff and shows you have nothing to counter what I say. If my posts rustle your jimmies that much please just ignore them.

12/16/2015 12:58:25 PM

i already told you why i suspended you

12/16/2015 1:06:37 PM

^^nah man, people are just annoyed and tired of your repetitive drivel and have giving up trying to discuss anything with you. (and if you're not aware, you're pretty hypocritical as well. you criticize people for using straw mans, yet do it constantly. and you say "character attacks" are weak, yet you resort to them frequently.)

You haven't "discussed". The vast majority of your replies can be summarized as "No you're dumb", which I classify as repetitive drivel. If you actually took the time to explain why my posts rustle your jimmies so much maybe I would actually have a clue why you're so upset, all I've been able to decipher from your 1 sentence posts is that you disagree and either can't or won't explain why.

12/16/2015 1:26:30 PM

I mean, you actually are dumb, but that's sort of besides the point. It's frustrating trying to engage in any sort of intellectual discourse with you because you speak exclusively in diatribes and strawmen. I think you think you're being hyperbolic/clever, but you're not.

And FWIW, I wouldn't ever put Bullet and I on the same team. We see things differently way more often than we see them alike.

Although I disagree with most of the things you say, you're right on about this. I'm not talking about the users you said but this sort of thing happens all the time on TWW. I don't understand why they use a message board if they are too lazy to actually express why they disagree with something. Its been this way for years. Its not everyone but a lot of what people post is just flames and trolls.

12/17/2015 8:38:12 AM

Trolling can at least be entertaining and funny, I think the users I mentioned just get upset when they can't defend their HuffingtonPost beliefs against common sense.

From the looks of the echo-chamber (soap box) it seems like they aren't used to having people disagree with them, hence the straw men arguments and "no ur dumb racist" caliber responses.

when you say racist things, it's not out of line to call you a racist. in fact, it's the only response.

your idea that you have to be engaged in legitimate discussion over the blatantly racist bullshit you spew is comical.

I'd ask you to quote this alleged "racism" but we both know, just like moron's reference to "evidence" or "the facts", there is absolutely nothing there. It's comical really.
