I think it's quite funny about all that empire crumbling business, Ive never been one for national pride.

meritocrat your ignorance and arrogance seem boundless, equal opportunity is needed, without that it's difficult to get one's shit together.

Strange, I'd always seen the black people in the UK as being part of the same society as the one I'm in. It's telling that you seem not to think this.

Of course you do, that's why you seem intent of complaining about everyone that you feel inferior about.

Well I expect to live a long life. In another two, perhaps, three generations, when I am near death, I can look at the state of the U.S. (or what is left of it) and have the satisfaction of knowing that you were wrong.

Very telling.

And rather than wait two or three generations, you could come to New York City right now, which, just a quarter century after the spectacle of a near-bankruptcy and riots during a blackout, is now the safest urban area in America, and among the safest in the world. In a multicultural climate, and despite the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 and the national economic downturn, the city is safe, peaceful and once again increasingly prosperous. The Bronx, Harlem and Brooklyn are consistently rejuvenating. Crime has fallen to 1950s levels. During this past summer's blackout, there was not so much as an uptick in crime. Let us remember that this reality, which you so despise because it so contradicts what you desperately wish to be true, exists in a multicultural environment, consisting of people of every imaginable color and racial, religious, and ethnic background. Thus your beliefs and claims, indeed your entire world view, stands refuted by the facts of reality. I know this must gall you; I know this, not because I am speculating on your motives, but because you once posted your hope and desire that the city of New York be destroyed. I think that sums up all that there needs to be said about the likes of you.

Fuck pardner, you'd have to be a petty man to remember such a trivial internet post some 60 years from now.

Here's to your pathetic, boring life so that this post may be so important to you to occupy your thoughts so far from now.

When you have military and other government personnel everywhere, I am sure that that does wonders to curtail the jungle instincts (you know, the law of the jungle, every man for himself---lots of crime) of many of the inhabitants there.

It does not.

Consistent Thinker

Just like a fundy, you took this too literally. By "you" (as in "you" being wrong), I meant "you [plural]," as in your school of thought on racial issues.

Waiting for garraty to once again say, "no shit, Sherlock", because he's a far more perceptive and intelligent man than you, CT. I'm certain he understood exactly that "you" was generic, not direct.

Unfortunately for your despicable, nonsensical claims, there are no military and government personnel everywhere in New York. Indeed, there is no more military presence here then before Sept. 11; and that military consists of the usual National Guard, common to all states and cities. Are you so clueless that you thought the city has been under martial law since 9/11? Moreover, before September 11, the facts that I described also pertained. How do you explain that?

Everyone knows precisely what you mean by "jungle instincts." Let it be noted that the true "jungle instincts" in this world were displayed, most vividly for posterity, by Nazi Germany and its sympathizers and supporters; a band of gutless barbarians, drunk with their own internal rot and corruption, who plunged the world into war and slaughtered six million Jews and other "undesirables" in their mad dreams of European conquest, racial suprematism and global dominion. Their supporters and apologists continue to skulk about the jungle today, unregenerate bully boys grunting and gibbering their lies as their knuckles scrape the ground.
