I live here in brooklyn and I love living here, it's not the attacks that make me want to move out. It's the price of living here. Fares going up like every other week, sucks for people such as myself who don't have a car to get around(now I'm actually thinking of buying one).

Sucks to see people take these jokes seriously, too bad it'll stay that way for a long time.

[QUOTE="albatrossdrums"][QUOTE="BonsaiMet"]So basically some terrorists tried to blow up a car bomb outside the South Park HQ just because of a joke?BonsaiMet

I don't think terrorists do these things because they're offended. They just want to scare people. It's like when a parents spank their children when they do something wrong( at least in their mind). It makes these kid think about the consiquences of doing that again, or at least try to not get caught. Also, they love the attention.

This was expected. Terrorists mentality for you.

[QUOTE="grape_of_wrath"] You coming and leaving a post suggesting that americans are terrified individuals who can't compare with the courage of N.irelanders reeks of immaturity to the point of infantility.RiseAgainst12

Okay then. You do see this as important news,don't you? This will probably headline many of tommorow's news editions. the TC had every valid reason to post this topic-this is probably more worthy than any other thread on the 1st page right now.It came off(to me at least) like you were attacking the TC for being freaked out for having an attempted bombing in his area.grape_of_wrath

I'm surprised bombs haven't been going off in major USA cities for the past 9 years... just doesn't make any sense.

[QUOTE="hedden93"]

[QUOTE="RiseAgainst12"] Haha At the height of the Troubles bombs would go off almost everyday or would be found not to mention the occassional gun battles and the marshal law imposed. And yet people still lived here, so no it wouldnt stop people living here, not by a longshot. But yes in the past couple of months every few days you pick up a paper and there is a report of a bomb being found or being left outside an area be it the courts or a police station. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/8638902.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/8616922.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/8616922.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/8529541.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/8523641.stm In the past month or two, and that isn't including bombs found or disfussed in lesser area's. An this stuff is only picking up in the last few months.. Hemmaroids

I'm thinking it was more of a coincidence that it was located near the Viacom building. For a terrorist, nothing is a more attractive target than one bustling with as many people as Times Square always is. It could've been an amateur, or it could've been a test to see the reaction times, and actions, of police. I did notice one thing though: after cops closed off the area, there were so many people standing behind those barricades being nosy and taking pictures. Did no one stop to think that if the car had exploded, there might be a stampede of people running away and trampling each other? That just didn't look safe at all, having them standing around like that.

Maybe americans would understand that freedom of speech comes with consequences, what reason did the creators of South park have for airing a major islamic figure that is specifically taboo to be depicted? I guess they wanted to stir up controversy, well I guess mission accomplished eh?

Viacom and Comedy central need to stop being a bunch of ****** and stop letting these people intimidate them into censoring their ****.HoolaHoopMan

Lol it's easy to tout this when you aren't the one at risk.

I find it odd that a white man in his 40's would try to bomb times square to kill Matt and Trey.

Something there doesn't add up.

yeah, thats what happens when you live in good old new york....man do i wanna move outta here

It's only taboo to muslims. And America is not under Islamic holy law, there for they have to deal with their religion not being treated as sacred by all of society, or they can move to another country. Thats how it works. You don't get to start trying to commit terrorist acts and justify it with "He made me cry by insulting my religion!".

It startles me how many people seem to think the muslim faith should be off limits to everyone. No, sorry, not how it works.

And again, I highly doubt this man was doing this based on that.

What was he doing it for then? I'm pretty sure people have assaulted others simply because they insulted their mother. It's just a consequence of your words, regardless of freedom of speech, words (even under law) come with consequences depending on use. For instance, I get moderated on this board quite a bit even though it's an american website. You can't exactly say what you want and show what you want all the time. The world simply does not work that way.

The problem was at the time that ep aired there wasn't much controversy with islam and also the fact they didn't put full blown focus on the subject of depicting muhammed. They are basically playing off the current controversy with islam and the world currently and due to that it became much much more publicized and by extension, exposed to alot more muslims.

[QUOTE="RiseAgainst12"]

Lol you Americans getting all worked up over 1 silly car bomb that didnt even go off Hemmaroids

I'm sorry, but I agree with the other guy.

As much as I've turned on the news and heard FREQUENT stories about a hell of lot of people getting blown up just because they went to vote, shop at a supermarket, or go to a job fair, then I get really suspicious.

As scared ****less of the Scary Muslims blowing us up, terrorism is actually a LOT more common in other countries. Meanwhile, here, ever since 9/11/01, we're constantly hearing about terrorism plots FAILING or somehow being FOILED. And, like, that doesn't make ANY goddamn sense. Is there some reason why car bombs suddenly stop working in the USA?

I don't know what he was doing it for. Maybe he is just insane. I see no reason to immediately assume he was doing it for religious reasons. Why make a jump in logic and assume a 40 year old white male was trying to bomb new york because of south park?

And this a private website, which can censor you all they want. However gamestop cannot tell me what I can or cannot say off their website. There are consequences to saying certain things in real life. There should be no consequence for making fun of someones religion, and people should not back down and say "Sorry! We'll leave you alone because violent extremists are scary!". Thats the exact opposite of what should be done. Giving into the demands of possible terrorists is a very bad idea.

Freedom of speech is not "Say what you want but if I don't like it, it's free game to murder people." and we should never strive to make it that way. America would be a pretty crappy place if we were under the holy laws of religions that we don't follow.

Isn't it insane that people are making bombs and trying to kill people over a cartoon? If people would just look at what they've become, they would be utterly disgusted.hillelslovak

I find it more insane that theres people who seem to think it's either justifiable or that "we had it coming" because we dared to exercise the freedom of speech garunteed to us.
