She's not a girl.

I understand the "outrage," but I'm not entirely understanding "why now." This isn't the first time the building has been lit up for this, IIRC...


oh, and the "outrage" is dumb

freedom of speech and all that jazz...

...unless you're a terrorist.

and... you know all Muslims must be terrorists its not like terrorists are some crazy extremist subset... like the KKK for example.

Ohh... wait...

7/20/2015 9:47:12 AM

All white people are terrorists, like Timothy McVeigh, Eric Rudolph,Ted Kaczynski, etc.

The Empire State building is owned by the Empire State Realty Trust which is publicly traded.

Buy a shitload of stock and go to the board meeting if you're upset.

OK, so, Islamophobia is a real problem and a hindrance to the efforts of all thinking people to eradicate extremism.

But this thread is an example of another problem that has been cropping up more and more often, even in legitimate news reporting. Internet quotes from random people do not constitute useful data. People should quit using them in any capacity. The comments section of ANY news article makes the human race seem repugnant, to such an extent that, if you believed they actually represented species, it would be your moral obligation to kill as many people as possible.
