This is New York

only a few places on this earth come close to this .

WTF does that even mean?

That's the dumbest comment I've read all week

He means that this whole tolerance thing that the rest of the world is struggling with... is something that New York has dealt with, accepted and moved on for a while now... I guess some people just don't understand a common expression...

Obviously that's bullshit. It's all in your heads.

It's obvious from this sentence alone that you're incompetent when it comes to analyzing the validity of statements by using things like history. Although if you're a neocon, no one expects you to know anything about history anyways.

It's obvious that your "tolerance" in NY used to be racism, but now it's being complete assholes to everyone.Like you're doing now.

NY is tolerant of different races, but not tolerant to little cunt fucking bitches like yourself. so come to NY and watch how quickly us "assholes" will shove a metal pipe up your whiney ass and throws you in the dirt ass gutter.

I'll feckin show you some tollerance by pushin your dumb ass onto the tracks bitch! Then tell me New Yorkers arent the most tollerant on this god damned earth.

they've moved on from being assholes to just certain race, to being assholes to everyone. Truly great progress.

Agreed. Funniest escalation I've seen all week. It didn't take long before they killed eachother off. Life in a nutshell.

If these two nutcases are from NY, that's really a fine example of "tolerance" they're setting. Ha!

i can totally see where that poster is coming from having lived there a good portion of my life... still love the place for what it is, but i'm certainly glad i no longer live there anymore...

It's amazing, really. Once you see it, multiple cultures really can cohabit.

Of course, there are always going to be issues that not everyone agrees on; but in a free society, that's really all most of us want, isn't it? Just to be left alone to live. By the same token, I rarely go a month without disagreeing with my wife. :)

Living with other types of people allows us to learn and broaden our knowledge of the world. It's wonderful.

I've lived in New York, but I've also lived in other cities. If you think New York is tolerant of minorities, time to travel.

That guy with the yellow cap - he is *at* work!

That is one of the cool things about NYC... you really don't know... for all we know... he could be a well renowned artist that is prepping a new showing. In fact, my guess is that he is doing something important to him and those close to him. I would never guess that he is unemployed or a moocher or psycho. He looks too neat. For all we know, he could be a millionaire. We just don't know...

The only the good that ever came out of NYC was the Ghostbusters, and they're not even real.

I am not even from NYC and moved here a few years ago. Also, I despise the power structure of NYC (because I am part of it).

With that said, the regular people of NYC are awesome. What I mean by regular is that the non-privileged people. It is the elite snobs that ruin it for everyone.

I don't necessarily think that something would happen to the guy somewhere else, it's more that the reaction of the other people around him might be different somewhere else (perhaps less nonchalant). At least that's how I interpreted the original poster's comment.

What you don't know about the way we get down in US Snake-cult towns could fill a filthy NYC subway.

It tells more about the poster of the picture than about NY really.

I see people on a train... Definetly not a reason to orgasm at new york's tolerance for other cultures, because its no different to most cities! Stupid arrogant patriotism once again from a nation of fools
