8/27 SF and NY chosen as the finalists for 2012 Olympic sites. SF
is a shoe in!
\_ shoo-in
\_ Oh God.. give it to NY. The last thing the bay area needs is more
traffic and special reasons for blocking it. It won't be the SF
olympics anyway because SF is too rinky dink to deal with it.
\_ the same can (and will) be said of NY.
\_ Traffic was awesome during the 1984 Olympics. I think
NYC will get it based on sympathy. --dim
\_ Yeah it almost worked for the World Series.
\_ And the second last thing the Bay Area needs is terrorist
attacks.
\_ bay area = huge muslim population. No terrorist attack.
\_ Jerusalem has a higher Muslim population.
\_ But those are "coward" muslims who come to the States to
"join the evil American Empire".
\_ uhm yeah these are the same people who are killing
themselves for the _chance_ to maybe kill others they view
as their eternal enemies. you're in fantasy land.
\_ When is the last time you heard of a suicide bomber
in the Bay Area?
\_ That's not a logical argument. It's the same
line of reasoning that goes: my car has never been
broken into, so it will be safe to park unlocked in
downtown Oakland. The fact that no suicide bombers
(rare in the US to begin with) have struck before
means little or nothing. -mice
\_ look, go move to Wyoming if you want to live
somewhere nothing interesting ever happens. -tom
\_ I heard that in Utah multiple terrorist attacks of
public coffee, cola, and alcohol consumption almost
destroyed the social fabric of Salt Lake City. |
