OK…no more Mr. nice guy. The U.S. should start internment camps for ALL Arabs, AND deport all people not born in this country. The borders should be closed and no immigrants accepted…NO EXCEPTIONS.

You Arabs/ Palestinians wanna kill each other? Knock yourselves out.BUT DO IT IN YOUR OWN FREAKIN’ COUNTRIES!

I call for massive air strikes to any and all known terrorist training and support bases!

You mean my dad, who immigrated here 50 years ago and is a citizen of this country (who also served in the US military)? Or do you mean my husband, a recent immigrant from a country with no hostilities toward the US? Should he be booted out before his soon to be born child ever sees him?

Fuck you.

Hey, SCREW you Mercutio! I saw it happen! I lost hundreds of co workers and friends in those buildings.So you can personally kiss my ass. Liberal scum bag. Isn’t anyone angry. Did anyone ELSE lose any friends. My rant doesn’t bring anyone back,but it’s at least helping me vent.

You know what…FUCK THE WORLD!

Once again I find myself aghast at someone who’s been around the Baords long enough to know better, spouting ignorant bile. Do us all a favor and SHUT THE FUCK UP, FOREVER. Never ever open your damned ignorant mouth again, and certainly don’t think of typing a word here ever again. Piss off.

Rich, I for one am terribly sorry you personally lost friend s in this tragedy. But spewing hatred because you “need to vent” causes way more harm than your personal need to heal justifies. Bullshit like your OP causes more innocent people to suffer. So knock it off.

Subs, you worthless offal. I happened to have been born in another country and yet, unlike you, I have a lot of respect for my fellow Americans no matter from where they hailed. And you just might want to remember that more than a few foreign born folks serve in the United States military and also as police officers.

We’re all angered but we’re not blaming a racial group. You want your happy little concentration camps and to have eveyone not born here shipped back? Fine. I’m sure my dad, who fled El Salvador because he would’ve been killed for being a teacher, is planning to blow up the federal building. You want to blame someone, blame the people who did it. Don’t blame racial groups and immigrants, you ignorant self-serving dogfuck.

You can lick my ass until my anus is raw.

Gee Rich,

My grandfather was a decorated WWII veteran, 26th US Cavalry, Bataan Peninusula, 1942. Not born in the United States.

My father was a decorated Korean and Vietnam War veteran (Bronze Star), U.S. Navy (Task Force 77, USS _Valley Forge_) and an ground-to-air radio controller (3rd Mobile Communications Group, Pleiku, Vietnam). He was not born in the United States.

One uncle and cousin are on the Vietnam War Memorial, representing the US Marine Corps and the 1st Air Cavalry Division, Khe Sanh and Ia Drang Valley. They were also not born in the United States. They died wearing the uniform of the United States, and they rest in Arlington.

I served the US Air Force for 20 years, decorated in the Gulf War and Panama Crisis. Unfortunately, I too was not lucky enough to be born in the United States. My daddy travelled a lot and we had to go with him.

My family gave at the office, Rich.

I understand your anger and outrage. You’re entitled to that.

Care to modify your stance a little? 🙂

Gee, I guess my Japanese-born mother will be surprised to hear about this plan. Oh, well, you wanna make an omelet…:rolleyes:

I really have to wonder which American Spirit[sup]TM[/sup] will manifest itself in the next few days. The selflessness and concern for one’s fellow man described [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=86491), or the ethnic hatred expressed in the OP. Me, right now I don’t know if I’d bet five bucks one way or the other.

Rich, We all saw what happened. It’s all over the news for heaven’s sake. But there is no reason to start jumping to conclusions like you did in your OP. Everyone who is a citizen here has earned that citizenship one way or another. There are idiots everywhere, from every nationality and every background. Many many people are angry, including myself, but that doesn’t mean we should go after everyone who may have possibly been a part of it. The government will find out who did this, so until then, chill.
