I think you're probably safer this week than you are any other week of the year.

Oh, uh, if a fission reaction mysteriously occurs in Lower Manhatten in the next few days, please refrain from quoting this post and pulling an I-told-you-so.

 

[minxnim]

well, if my potassium iodine fails me i will be dead and unable to call you on your shit.
i am not too paranoid, but as my dad says 'vietnam probably isn't so bad now as it was, but i'm not gonna fuckin go back there on vacation to check'.

True. It's also possible that, while rational-actor terrorist groups (as much as Islamic-fundamentalist-suicide-bombers can be rational actors) may refrain from action on 9/11, there's always the chance some wacko will decide it's a good day to snap and commit his own one-man terror act, like the July 4th El Al shooting in L.A.

Happy New Yorking!

exactly. there's a whole row of psychotic white males just waiting for a totally cliche moment to lose their shit.

Unfortunately, we're getting squeezed out of our niche by the Arabs and Persians. I feel like a black bluesman watching Elvis take the stage and knowing that it's gonna be whiteboy, whiteboy, whiteboy from here on out.

That would be really funny if it wasn't so dang true!

 

[minxnim]

seriously. i know some white motherfucker is going to snap on the subway and start gunning shit. i'll stab him in the face too.

I think most of the white psychos are pretty comfortable in the military, to tell you the truth.

 

[minxnim]

i dunno, there's always the anti-establishment fanatics and nazis to contend with, plus your usual array of sociopaths ala patrick bateman.
but in general, you're right.

 

[xfer]

Yes, but I'm gauging that the white supremacist/separatists won't want to risk the high security and strike on what's become a huge Ay-rab celebration holiday.

Then again, the Nazis didn't seem to have much trouble with Arabs when the Palestinians came knocking during WWII, so who knows? I guess having a common foe can trump elements of ideology.

And yes, the overworked-guy-in-Mergers-&-Acquisitions will always remain a threat.

i still, to this day, refuse to be alone in a room with a rich white male because of that book.

 

[VangelicSurgeon]

what book?

 

[chupe666]

A friend of mine read that, and saw the movie and said the book was so much more disturbing than the movie. I haven't read it though.

 

[minxnim]

'american psycho'.
the movie is like, the disney version. it's almost nothing like the book. i read the book in one night, and actually got up to go in the bathroom to gag at one point.

 

[VangelicSurgeon]

nice. I will have to read that.
