Anyone else here seen “Marathon Man”?

I WOULD have kept the diamonds…..seeing them fall thru the grate like that …..OUCH.

Is the world getting just a bit more crazy and angry? I get the feeling that mass violence in just around the corner. Simmering hatred and irrationality is accepted as normal by more and more people and I don’t see how this is going to end well.

I can’t find anything funny about this. That’s not to put down those who have because laughing at madness is a good coping mechanism. But this makes me feel profoundly sad.

Yeah, the world is getting nuttier all the time – we’re reminded of just how much every time we look around us.

I’m not sure that all of this will end well, either, but know that it will take all of us together to at least try
to make a positive difference in the world.

As far as for laughter, to laugh is to live; to forget laughter is to surrender and to die – then, and only then is the enemy victorious over those of us who choose life.

Laugh – you will not stop thinking, but you will have a better outlook and hope for the future.

Besides, some of it is rather ridiculous, isn’t it?

Mr. Wiesel needs to move to a red state … one that won’t interfere with his right to carry the proper tools needed to deal with this kind of scum.

So I’m not surprised that Mr. Wiesel was assaulted in a GOP stronghold like San Francisco either.

Yeah, I keep putting off my dentist appointment.

Anyway, the sad news is, Labamigo is probably right.

Actually, he was just wanted to make sure no one less frail than a 96 yo lady with a purse would be there to beat the living crap out of him.

I rank him a zero.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how gallant was he in ensuring that no women would have to witness an elderly Holocaust survivor being threatened/pummeled/stomped/tortured/murdered/any or all of the foregoing?

That’s unfair: he was just trying to have a healthy discussion? You neocons are trying to stifle free speech!

Anyway, I hope this dude who tried to nab Wiesel has an unpleasant prison shower experience in his future.

A more fitting name would be “Eeriec Hunt” with no space, you know, like Mike Hunt-say it fast. What a piece of dog poo.

And Labamigo-you’re right and it’s already started:
Ellen Goodman says

I would like to say we’re at a point where global warming is impossible to deny. Let’s just say that global warming deniers are now on a par with Holocaust deniers, though one denies the past and the other denies the present and future.

Ha ha. Sickening.

Seriously, I’m feeling generous (and a little tipsy) and want to give HA money right now, where’s damn Paypal button? Grrrrr.

Thank god he’s okay; the thought of him living through Auschwitz only to be ignobly waylaid by some skinhead slackjaw would have been intolerable.

Okay, I don’t usually suck up, but this sentence was a moment of literary brilliance. Pitch-perfect language and structure. And I’m three months away from completing my English MA, so I’ve got all sorts of credibility here. Recognize.

Go hit Paypal right now, there’s no way we should be getting this stuff for free.

“…well, i really don’t see what wiesel’s basis is for not wanting to defend his work. if the guy says that no women would be offended by what he intended to do, what basis does wiesel have for suggesting otherwise? btw, show us some more pictures of mkh, i’d love to toungue-bathe her!”

he chickened out

Performance anxiety is a serious problem. No wonder he did’t want any women about.

That Wiesel still has to deal with some nut assaulting him is just sad.

Anti-Zionist is anti-Jew. I wish the media would stop perpetuating (reinforcing, actually) our time’s most egregious distinction without a difference.

And no, it’s not safe anymore for one “Mr.” Eric Hunt.
