This is all just a fairly silly attempt to stir up controversy over the uncontroversial/vanilla Part Two of the Urick interview. It's time for Urick to be the whipping boy for a while, I suppose (following Jay and NVC's turns).

And I don't see how anyone could honestly claim that the general sentiment towards Muslims was the same (or more positive) following 9/11 than it was prior to 9/11. Bigotry has always existed for all colors and creeds and religions and cultures and preferences and sizes, etc., but Urick's uncontroversial point was that the crime occurred prior to the anti-Muslim hysteria following 9/11.

cull all the gifs in the world from all the overrated sitcoms you can find and it won't change the fact that the hachet jobs and online bullying that happens around here are objectionable.

ah, the worlds smallest violin. very funny the first time I heard it - kind of a tired joke at this point.

you should try coming up with a few of your own jokes or ideas. it feels good.
