In light of the serious nature of this rampant disease currently ravaging our nation, I will respect your request that I refrain from accusing you of being a thinly veiled racist who will let neither reason nor logic prevent him from blaming obama for everything. I will save them for another day.

Enough with the strawman BS; your broken record nonsense is just idiotic. So I take it you'll be the first to volunteer??

That and your argument makes little to no sense whatsoever.

When you decide to create arguments out of thin air, I'll call you on it. You want the record to stop repeating then actually discuss what is written instead of the argument you've made up in your mind.

As for the argument making little sense... well, I guess you can point out why you are confused by what I wrote. Or, I think you'll just stick with claiming it makes no sense without pointing to a legitimate reason why you believe so.

Addendum: I have no idea what you believe I should be volunteering for. You should probably expand upon that.

Everybody needs to stop with the whole "this is just like AIDS hysteria" because it's a false equivalence.

Back then, people had no clue how AIDS spread, and were afraid of getting it by touch. Clearly that's not the case (unless of course you have a huge bleeding wound on your hand and shake hands with someone with AIDS who also has a huge bleeding wound on their hand).

Today, we DO know how easily Ebola can spread through casual contact in the right scenario (yes we can argue all F'n day about when during the course of the virus you can spread by touch), and kill you quickly, and painfully.

So please, those of you arguing against an over abundance of caution, please be the first to volunteer to house these individuals coming back from West Africa. Wait, NIMBY?

Yeah, I though so.

As much as I love you creating the fun strawman at the end, your argument is an entirely false equivalent.

Ebola seems to be caught relatively easily, but it has to be the right environment and there are a lot of people flipping out about it (very similar to that of HIV).

The reason people are comparing the two is because nobody ended up getting the gun-to-the-head quarantine treatment for HIV that people who have not even shown symptoms of Ebola are getting.

It has also been shown that Ebola is quite curable. The first American to contract it in this country was cured within a week, something that can't even happen with Mono. Yet, people still talk about the virus as being extremely fatal (which you just did).

Nobody is arguing that those who have possible contact with it should be hanging out at school yards and senior citizen homes. What people are saying is that this hysteria of fear needs to be severely ramped down.

The reason why I don't buy the parallels to HIV is because all these healthcare professionals keep getting Ebola. Whereas, I had always heard that unless you are having sex with the person or sharing needles for drug use, you aren't getting HIV.

I would feel a lot better about this situation if it truly was transmitted the same as HIV. But you never hear of doctors contracting HIV who work with those patients. Also, the CDC is coming up with a new story by the day.

As I mentioned, I think the big test is what will happen once 21 days passes after the NY ebola doc's grand subway adventure. If 21 days passes with no new infections, ok, it's really not a big deal. But since it takes so long to show symptoms, we won't know for a while.

Then it should also be a precaution to deny entry to anyone who's been in the Ebola death zone for three weeks after they've left. Just a smart precaution.

To quarantine the dog is indeed precaution, not paranoia. I would assume, it allows them to observe and study the disease as well.

Reaction of a few on this board is definitively paranoia though. It is not precaution...

There is not one single case of a dog or cat contracting Ebola, even in West Africa.

Enough with the paranoia.

Then why did the CDC quarantine the dog if there wasn't a possibility of it being infected?

The first thing we should do is ban fishing on that pier, and every pier in town. The fisherman leave them so rancid that no one else can enjoy them.

I suggest you do a little research into WHAT the statue memorializes.

It memorializes the slaughter of 4000 Polish soldiers, all of whom were shot. The bayonette-in-the-back imagery is unnecessarily macabre, not to mention inaccurate.

How about you put on your big boy panties and just get over it. People who are easily offended/mortified by artwork should just stay in their room and not bother the rest of us who can appreciate such works. It's a beautifully stirring piece of work that stands out in that space.

art is subjective. your opinion carries no more weight than mine does.

I can guarantee you that some people here on JCLIST are positively giddy at the prospect of some of those stores being forced under.

Agreed. To dovetail that, there are probably others on here already formulating a racial or other conspiracy component to this story to force out the lower end stores.

Let's get it all out of the way now for these one trick ponies:

"RACISTS!"
"RACISM!"
"Greedy 1%ers!"
"DISCRIMINATION!"
"CHRISTIE'S FAULT!"
"FULOP'S HIRES DID IT!"

That about covers most if not all of the idiots on here.

Ha ha ha! So sad, and true. This reminds me of Katrina in 2005, when people claimed (and many more chose to believe) that some levees in NOLA were dynamited by the government in order to protect the well to do areas from widespread flooding.
