Time square for new year - terrorist already won

[RDN]

Why would anyone want to be in time square to watch the ball drop. It's not like it use to be. It's not fun.
You can't move around, go to the restroom or drink. No fun at all.

I can think of three other cities (in US) to watch the new year come in. New Orleans, Miami (S. beach) and Chicago (the good side)

 

[Dr. Evil]

You couldn't pay me enough money to stand there with the sheeples. Not that I want to be in the city on any other day of the year.

Apparently the whole area is cordoned off , and you cant leave until after the fire works , you cant drink and you cant eat . you have to stay in your section . Stick it in your ASS. I go any where else.

Seriously that stops nothing.2 or three well armed men in covered positions with a handful of decent weapons would turn that place into a blood bath in less than 2 minutes . There is very little the police can do to do stop an attack before it starts .

But the people FEEL safe.

right now its raining cats and dogs in New Orleans. still rather be there with a monster drink in my hand than be in NYC Time Sqaure like a Zombie.

Also the women in Orleans are lot HOTTER (dont mean temp.) :0

 

[holdover]

I think we would need to see them all naked, just to be fair.

The boiling frog anecdote is what we are seeing. A majority of the country will eventually be willing to hand over all their rights, in return they are handed back privileges. People should be wondering what the hell is going on, especially when they see NYPD outfiited as if they are going to war. When the NYPD first started their Hercules team, many people I know were wondering how we got that far so fast.

Next years Time Square New Years eve rules will be no shoes, no belts, no bulky jackets, as holdover said you probably have to be naked. The sickening thing is that people will feel that it is ok if you slowly introduce these rules, the sheep that is. We still have very far to go, to get our country back. The members of the sheep class includes people who are from both parties.

 

[RDN]

Instead of stripping us of our freedoms. And costing us million$ to support those Hercules NYPD teams. Gov't should contain terrorist in their country(boxing in) and take the fight to them directly. More restrictions on Visa, immigration from hostile nations.

It amazes me how many Americans are willing to give up thier Rights and their Freedoms for a bit of security!

Be careful of what you say - the Gov't is monitoring us

I am more than fine with that. I just can't care anymore.

What really bugs me is how they hold a bunch of dildo's

I cringed that whole time.

 

[Jezman]

Just another way to keep people convinced that less freedom is security. All a front of lies. They know it and it keeps the weak masses at a non confratational level.

But we can't bomb the JV team right? We need to show them love and respect and they will just decide on their own not to shoot us or kill us.

 

[togmaster]

No loss for me. I've never been and never wanted to. And it's always been a short train ride for me.

Why did I just click that link?! Instead of wishing you meant the last celebrity dying before midnight, I watched a fat cow in a skimpy, not-sized proper bathing suit, walking in high heels and having a nervous twitch with her hair..

I've done it maybe 2 or 3 times in my younger days..you know, the fun 80's,90's..where you can shoot scary scary kinda black people on a train and get away with it..(ahh Bernie),when we drank our balls off on a train down, and when we drank our asses off walking to Times Square and once in Times Square we drank and smoked whatever we wanted..but most times I was forced or coerced by friends to go, I always hated the people down there lol. After college days and married, and 9/11, I never ever thought of ever going again.

With Stingray monitoring phones and people walking through X-ray Vans scanning at strategic locations, radiation monitors, other sniffers installed along the way, bridges, tunnels, transit system... It's what you don't see, that's doing all the work. The sand filled trucks but with an empty van next to it, the throngs of NYPD all sucking up OT and laughing their ass off doing it, are all just window dressing! The smoke and mirrors works well to keep the sheeple minds at ease and that's all they care about. Not sure how much is lost that people are actually willing to subject themselves to not changing what they do in spite of the threat that exists, real or not. But the freedom's issue is succinct and separate from any event such as New Years Eve @ Time Square. Just sayin...

 

[Blimey]

Don't like large crowds (no a phobia; just find them annoying and very slow to move around), so I'll never go.

 

[Defilade]

The lineup alone was a huge turnoff. Nothing but wicky wicky scratch garbage music.

Most definitely, you're welcome! Too bad it wasn't triple time ; ) Should be...

Taking time away from family during a holiday, putting yourself at risk, is the least DeBlasio could do that price of garbage!

I didn't get tagged this year thankfully, but I did work OT on Christmas so that was the tradeoff.

My step-sister wanted to cap off her year of doing every NY touristy thing she could imagine with the ball drop and I managed to get it done for her painlessly with a few phone calls.

It's actually a pretty cool experience, even though my only time doing it I was working. Everyone is happy and smiling and hugging and crying and such as soon as that ball bottoms out and the fireworks start.
