Im from New York and I’ve never heard of that. Although its completely understandable. Funerals are private, wakes are for all the shlubs. As a shlub you go to the wake to show support/pay respects nothing more. You go to the funeral to do the same but there is also a lot more emotional baggage.

I couldn’t agree with you more.

Why in our discussions on illegal immigrants do we oly focus on the immigrants. Americans are violating the law by hiring them. It’s like we focus on the drug users not the drug dealers. It’s infuriating to me that we place all the blame on the immigrants instead of American who hire them.

Our know what else is a reasonable discussion to be had? Prosecuting all the American who violated the law and hired these illegal immigrants. We are essentially focusing on one aspect of this “perceived” problem. It’s like stopping the use of drugs by arresting the drug users not the dealers who provide the product.

Did you read the opinion by the Hawaiian District Court?

I took classes with Don Zagoria, meaning he taught them not that I sat next to him in class. He was very pragmatic and knowledgeable. Hopefully he’ll do some good work.

The only way I could possibly rationalize this is that racism makes no sense., its inherently illogical. And since he subscribes to a point of view that makes no sense he does things that makes no sense.

Valid point. And I’ll add that many people from NYC relocated here and brought with them their bigoted ignorant-ass ideas.

Most people who live here (I’m in NYC) aren’t originally from here. So they naturally bring their racist ignorant ass views with them. Why someone would go to a place as culturally diverse as NYC when you think like this is anyone’s guess.

I don’t entirely agree with the players on this. I mean the NHL replied in a dickish manner- “Publicly available information related to concussions and their long-term effects, coupled with the events that had transpired – i.e., the players incurring head injuries – should have allowed (players) to put two and two…

LOL NP! Islanders are so bad maybe they should play with the Mets.

Really?! Had no idea?! I meant the area around Citi Field. Theres all those old car shops right across from Citi. Not that I think those business owners should be kicked out.

Dolan sucks. I dont think he cares either.

Come give the guy a break! He was looking at Alternative Facts.

I totally agree! I’m a Rangers fan and totally hate the Islanders but I love the rivalry. I feel their ownership just doesn’t care if the team is doing well, it’s like a hobby to them that they look at in their spare time. I thought the move to Barclay was bad and I knew the Coliseum needed a renovation bad. But…

I’d call the Atlantic Terminal a tertiary terminal after Jamaica. It’s actually really easy by train and you get to drink without having to worry about your drive home to Ronkonkoma.

They need to change the show to “All we talk about is football no matter what time of year it is”. I honestly can’t stand them for this exact reason. Theres little discussion on any other sport all it is is NFL 90% of the time.

The thing everyone forgets, is that those 2 AFC appearances have almost nothing to do with Rex. He didn’t build those teams at all. Mangini, Tannenbaum and Bradway did. Granted he coached them to the AFC Championship series but I firmly believe that with those teams Mangini would’ve done the same.

if your definition of some is 50 then you will be rewarded.
