Hooray, white men and women between 24 and 45 with college degrees! We may be crippled by student loan debt, but by God we still have our cubicle jobs! Take that, Wall Street fat cats!
This reminds me of when my family first got a Tandy computer back in the early eighties. It did absolutely nothing useful, but my dad thought it was the coolest thing ever. He kept insisting we could 'do our taxes with it!' which he has never actually done with a computer, even now. It's funny to watch them play with the thing, though: 'Look at me! I'm moving this picture! I can sort letters! I can draw a sloppy-looking box with my HANDS! Whee!'
Even though Rue McClanahan is all young in that clip, in my mind it's like the "Golden Girls" version of her doing that dance... I feel conflicted. I need to wash my eyes. Or take a shower. Or cry a little.
In the original post, I was most interested in reading that the 'radicalized' Muslims approved the attacks for 'political reasons,' that they felt 'humiliated and threatened by the West.' In reading this thread, I also find it very interesting that those who seem to have the most 'radicalized' views against Muslims also seem 'humiliated (by 911) and threatened (by people they don't understand).' I think Zoltan (and his ideological Twinkies) is missing the point by reiterating that a threat comes from 'Islam.' Any threat comes from scared, xenophobic, politically- and religiously-intolerant people like yourself, not the religion. Good day to you.
