That's America. Life is good. I've been saying that the moslems don't know what the hell they're doing. And it is very strange because it's the most logical conclusion from their perspective. When they flip on the television to study the kuffir enemy, who do they see? They see Britney Spears, Madonna's bobbies, Sean Penn, Paris Hilton, Susan Sarandon, The Sopranos, and Spiderman 3.
They don't see god damn CSPAN. They don't see Questions for the Prime Minister. They don't see Maria Bartellomo or Donald Trump (at least, not anymore) or Bill Gates or Steve Jobs or Warren Buffet or Ross Perot.
New York was nothing. It took the financial sector 3 months to divy up the pieces -- the emotional damage took 4 days, mainly because the news channel anchors got bored with the same story. It could have taken a month or two had the entire cast of Friends been wiped out, but they weren't.
If they ever hit Hollywood, stand by. Break out the bottled water, fill your bathtubs, load your firearms with the heavy stuff if they aren't already. It will bring this whole damn country to a stand still like nothing since 1929 -- financially and emotionally. Trading will be suspended for over a week straight -- either by fiat, or procedure (2% for one hour, 5% for the rest of the day). |
Did you
sleep through 2001??? The damage to the economy from that was QUITE severe. Mostly from alarmist investors and the complete shut down of air travel for several weeks. We had to lay off a lot of employees around then, and finding jobs was NOT pleasant.
Hitting Hollywood would do squat to the country. Heck look at any given celebrity death, the OJ trial, whatever - sure, they get more news coverage than is reasonable, but it doesn't actually make ANY difference to the country. No economy shift happens, no massive layoffs, cutbacks, etc.
I'm hoping you were being sarcastic with your above post, or maybe are not actively employed or something, as I find it hard to otherwise believe anyone could be that out of touch.
