8. America has become a fucking Cartoon !

[spanone]

10. let's have a christian vs muslim war, how about that? dumbfucks

11. Free speech bordering dangerously close to hate crimes.

Inciting and fostering hatred should not be protected by our constitution, and that's what I see happening in lower Manhattan.

13. In my city, throwing certain epithets around

will land you in front of a judge. This attitude of what "free speech" means comes from bitter experience. The American airwaves have become very much like Rwanda. I expect an outcome which may not be so physically violent but just as or more psychically violent.

12. did somebody say "Bedouin Slim Pickens"?

of course, given the demented phrasing, it might be a display by one of those "New Atheists" that sounds like Malkin or Brigitte Gabriel when the topic comes around to Muslims. Oh, and "All Wars Are RELIGGIOUS!!!!1111" including World War I, the Ogaden War, Japan's Siberian intervention, the Hukbalahap rebellion
