The degree of outrage felt insincere, though acknowledge the fact that her original statement was in incredibly poor taste. It was rather presumptuous, and borderline offensive for me to suggest, dubious as I may be, that the outrage was not real. I accept that some may have been genuinely offended, and I apologize, because that's what reasonable adults do.

Some of us have had the opportunity to visit concentrations camps and see the evidence firsthand of Nazi crimes against humanity. There is no comparing an American train station dealing with a system delay to Auschwitz or Birkenau. Nor should it be compared to a ship on the Middle Passage.

It was beyond the pale.

I can't tell if you're joking or not, but if yes, very clever.

She's a troll. The ongoing 'Yinzer' routine is trolling, as is this new routine.

The outrage is fake, its a matter of convenience they're trying to nail me for the use of the term to get me banned. "Yinzers" wouldn't work, so taking my use of the word "Concentration Camp" and trying to somehow equate intentions with of Nazi Germany.. I see right through the disingeniousness of it all.

My use of "Concentration Camp" was nothing other to illiterate the scenes like this at Penn Station when severe delays happen.






My words had NOTHING to do with equating to the Holocaust, and they know that, again it was convenient because they're trying to nail me for my continue using the term Yinzer. People need to learn how to put thing into context.

Really? Really?

For some enlightenment, this is a concentration camp.









What sort of mental gymnastics are you able to accomplish to be able to compare a crowded train station with a mass-murder factory and then twist things around enough to call out the people who called you out for being offensive?

The Term Concentration Camp in 2016 has a mainstream meaning ... it's tossed around all the time in the media it was used to describe the effects after Katrina, it was used for 9/11 it was used after Super-storm Sandy, it was used during the Blackout 2003 in NYC.

Were was all this outrage then, there wasn't none. Concentration Camp by the media and in mainstream terms= large masses of people huddled in a singular structure or space. The context of it nothing to do with them being dead or alive and absolutely nothing to do with the Holocaust.

Again I see right through your Fake-ness ... Context, Context, learn how to put things into Context.

No reputable hits for "storm sandy concentration camp" (https://www.google.com/?ion=1&espv=2...tration%20camp)

Same for "Hurricane Katrina concentration camp" (https://www.google.com/?ion=1&espv=2...tration%20camp)

Same for "NYC blackout concentration camp" (https://www.google.com/?ion=1&espv=2...entration+camp)

No hits from any reputable news organization to back up your claims. None.
Able to procure anything to prove me wrong?



Go to Squirrel Hill and see what folks there think about your use of the term "concentration camp".


You are a racist with a persecution complex.
