<< call for proposals | Main | wham, boom.. to the moon! >>

This story really pisses me off. It turns out the 3 students stopped in Florida have been asked not to study at the hospital they were heading to, because it's been the subject of threats since the incident.

Because INNOCENT STUDENTS were stopped due to extreme overreaction to a SINGLE phoned-in tip from a woman in Georgia (not known for its embracing of ethnicity), they are prevented from getting an education.

Just pisses me off.

It is all over the news here. However, and quite surprisingly, there seems to be a lot of media egg on the face of the Georgia woman who decided to stir the glutial molasses. She has essentially been branded a liar by the press, and the couple people I have talked to concur.

I think that this banning of these students, incidentally all naturalized citizens, is tragic. I certainly hope that they, all US citizens do what US citizens do very well (sue) and that is take the institution of which they have been denied access to, to court.


I would also trust that defamation of character suits fly against the Georgia peach who would, on the (apparent) basis of her own prejudices, wantonly set forth to destroy the lives of three innocent men.

As has been mentioned on the similar story on ufies, from my view of it the story has changed two or three times from them being terrorists for sure, then it being a cruel prank, then the lady being a liar... wonder what will come tomorrow?

It will have been an elaborate dream sequence and the news anchor will lean forward and tell us all to WAKE UP DELORES, WAKE UP.

just remember that they are not being denied an education, just one at that location. they will end up at another hospital. my understanding was that the hospital administration is worried that the media attention will hinder the hospital's primary mission, treating sick people. also they are not all natuaralized citizens. 1 was born in Jordan and is naturalized. another was born in the U.S. and another doesn't hold U.S. citizenship. oh, and yes they should pursue defimation of character suit, unless that was made up as well. though if it would hold up in court the original complainte could be expecting lots of folks sueing for damages for sitting on I-75 for 17 hours ;)

Uhm... kindly do not fuck all Americans... keep in mind that SOME of us are sane, and SOME of us don't flip out and find ways to get on the news. Hell, I haven't said "Fuck Canadians!" because of a poll that came out saying 65% of all Canadians say that we had 9/11 coming for us... and thusly made it sound JUSTIFIED. Because I do not judge a country on a small sample of its people.

I think an attack on USA soil was long overdue. You can't go tromping around the globe blowing shit up and then expect it could never happen in your own country. Also, the boy bands...hell I'd like to fly a plane right into the recording studio.

Fuck all Canucks.I hate their vile guts cause they hate Americans just because we beat shit out of them when they started a war in U.S. in 1812.Canadians are asshole hypocrites,condemning American warfare while they support the Brits and Castro in all their sneaky imperialist shit.

>> Darren » Thursday, November 21, 2002 03:21 PM

Actually, your comment is wrong. Nobody won the war of 1812. According to quite a few sites (this one from Virginia in particular), "The end of the war restored the status quo ante bellum, that is, it left everything the way it had been when the war began."



The Treaty signed at the end of the war did nothing other than end the war. "No major concessions [were] granted by either side." This treaty was signed shortly before the Battle of New Orleans, which is why (as this site says) there is a misconception that the US won the war of 1812.



That's my rational response. My irrational response is this:



You stupid, ignorant American! Our forces drove you down past Washington, and didn't bother stopping until we'd burnt down the original White House! The only reason we stopped was because it just got boring beating your asses to pulp.

Hey darren here is my irrational response. Fuck you cocksucker, your sorry asses couldn't even fight with your own army because we burned canadian cities to the ground so you had to hide behind and give head to the British who had to stick up for your loser asses

And they say that America is a democratic country....I don't think canada is any better.
Maybe the authorities were just trying to get their quota for arrests or something???
