You disgracefully ignorant fool. Is it any wonder why you country is the most fucked up one in the western world when there are morons like you and Dayton in operation. Do you know that there are between 90-100 different native ethnicities living in India? The idea that "they all look the same" is not only untrue, but laughable. I suppose all blacks look the same to you as well? Burmese look like Japanese, etc, etc...
That is based on an often unfair stereotype that Americans are vulgar, childlike and stupid. You aren't doing much to break down that stereotype. I dare say the French, and most Europeans for that matter, know a great deal more about Americans that someone like you knows about them. Well, at least you're confirming you're a bigot.
Same thing in Singapore, Bangkok, and Seoul. In fact, it's apparently pretty widespread: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_screen_doors
I've only ever seen those at airports. I suppose if London can upgrade the Underground, which is considerably older than NY's subways, NY will start to do the same someday.
Not in my case. The French can usually tell I'm not French from my accent, but they think I'm from Germany or some eastern country. Also not true. The don't hate Americans who don't come across as arrogant "Our country is better than yours and anyone else's" snobs. But that, unfortunately, describes all too many Americans... It isn't. But that isn't what you said orginally, and your clumsy back-pedaling just looks silly.
More like she saw a brown person who didn't speak Spanish and wasn't black and assumed they were Muslim. Most bigots can't tell the difference, and don't care. I'm with Garamet on this. In two and a half years, I've never seen those at any train station I've been to, and Shinjuku, which is about a hour away from my base, is the busiest stop in the country. Your comparison is like saying that American and Canadians are the same race that got split up. There's a vast difference between Pakistan/India and the ME, but I'm not going to waste bandwidth convincing you otherwise.
When I was living in NY, and in NYC I always wondered if I could push someone off the platform and get away with it. And always had a slight fear that someone might decide to push me. Neither ever happened.
Look this was obviously a crazy person that nobody wanted to do anything about until she killed someone. Does it really matter what religion that person was? Probably was wearing a towel around the head and assumptions got made. Would it have made the situation any better if he had been a Muslim? Those who come to the great melting pot and refuse to melt bring attention upon themselves.
This has got to be the worst attempt at backpeddling I've seen in eight years of posting here. Good grief. And for the fucking last time, HINDUS DO NOT HEAD THE GODDAMN WRAP ON THEIR HEADS. Here is a national newspaper for the Hindu community, go see how many pictures you'll find of fucking turbans. I'll wait, it's only 1:30 in the afternoon here.
They have the red dots, right? They are the push to starts, the ones with the rags are the pull to starts. That is an old joke.
hmm i get the distinct feeling ep must be stoned or something. dam i wouldnt mind what ever he's smoking right now
"Dude, can you believe those dumb fucking kids left their bikes outside and then went inside? I'll be we can get a couple of hundred for these at least!"
