Bin Laden is human, too (Ithaca mega-hurl alert)

This cartoon is inappropriate and offensive. Too many times have certain groups declared their enemies to be non-human. This serves no cause but that of barbarism. We cannot ignore the real social processes behind our enemies' actions, as well as our own. Any activities carried out by bin Laden are those of a human being, acting in a world created by humans, including us.

According to the author's web page, he is more or less a life-long Ithaca resident.

Ithaca is the City of Evil.

City of Evil bump.

Question: are jackasses human too?

[friendly]

I am sure that bin Laden and the al Quida boys feel just as tender, gentle, considerate, and warm hearted as our friends in Ithaca.

As a point of irony, given the demographics of many of those slaughtered in the World Trade Center towers (male, highly educated, highly intelligent) there certainly were represented many Cornell graduates (an Ivy League school in Ithaca, NY).

Perhaps the scientist should compare the Bin Laden DNA to the DNA of Charles Manson, John Wayne Gacy, and Richard Speck.

This cartoon is inappropriate and offensive...We cannot ignore the real social processes behind our enemies' actions, as well as our own.

"social processes??"

What the flock does that mean? That we're supposed to wring our hands?

What we need is peaceful justice and understanding for all members of the human race.

What I understand is that Osama Yo Mama needs to be sent to the hereafter, period.

There's no sign of human DNA in this sample," and next to him an officer on the phone declaring, "We may have found an Ithaca hippy."

Ithica, city of snivelers.

Note to Bruce.

Anyone who would convince other people to crash an airliner into a highrise
and kill thousands of people has LOST their humanity.

Note to Bruce.

Exterminate the vermin!

What is it about the water around Ithica?

I'm sure the author of this article feels morally superior to us lesser mortals now, having written the above. This is how these folks feel good about themsleves.

[dvwjr]

Both Hitler and bin Laden are included in the human race, unfortunately. That means it's the rest of the race's responsibility to eliminate individuals like these two who come along every so often. It's called culling the herd...

What is it about the water around Ithica?

Nothing.

Ithaca gets its water from Cayuga Lake, as does a big chunk of the otherwise conservative Finger Lakes area.

Cartoons such as this serve only to create a climate of misunderstanding and hate

This editorial is causing me to hate a certain someone who lives in Ithaca.

For a human, he sure has a way with the lady......goats!

I have a Master's Degree in Sociology from the Universidad de Guadalajara, located in sunny Guadalajara, Mexico.

Correspodence course? Couldn't get into a US University? Psuedoscienceology?
