No, Jimmy. Epic fail on YOUR part. You went from being the soi-disant “owner” of everyone on this blog to being a pathetic, Obama-bashing liar, just like all the other pathetic Obama bashers.

What Biden actually said was (and this is quoted from Faux Spews, so you KNOW it’s 100% accurate):

“If Barack Obama is elected president, there will be an international crisis to test his strength within the first 6 months of his presidency.

“Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America.” he told a fundraising crowd in the Pacific Northwest on Sunday. “Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

Got that, son? “WITHIN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF HIS PRESIDENCY“.

I know you don’t like the drive-by media, but even WND and Faux Spews are in agreement that OBAMA’S PRESIDENCY DOESN’T START FOR ANOTHER 53 DAYS.

I’d say I owned you, but I’m not sure I want someone who sinks to that gutter-level as a posession.

Tsk.

No one is placing blame. Why so defensive?

Tired of being owned?

Cheers.

Exactly, that’s why that part of the world needs to be quarantined. They don’t get “modified” when they step from their primitive society into our modern one.

I think you got it., finally.

No, these Murderous Religious Fundamental Anti-Humanist urges are functions of philosophy–not societal growth.

And YES–more should be done to isolate these movements although that would require spending some money on poor people so THAT gets us back to the repuglicans.

Full Circle.

Basically, what I said. When they advance as a culture to what we consider “modern” it won’t be a problem. Until then, just seal them off from all trade & interaction.

I’ve never felt more in “a big city” than downtown Manhattan. Never felt more in “a huge urban sprawl” than Tokyo.

Highlights “everything is definitional” and how hard that can be.

As to your concern about what “feels like the biggest city”, that might be the one with the most people per km^2, which would be Mumbai (29,650/km^2), followed by Kolkata (23,900/km^2), and Karachi, Pakistan (18,900/km^2).

Noo Yawk Schitty is 114th, with 2050/km^2.

No, terrorist attacks by religion is a function of small minded faith driven people thinking ideology is more important than people. Kinda like repuglicans.

The actual problem is medieval level societies mixing with modern civilization.

Seems to me what is relevant to the biggest city (sic as we are talking most populous) in the world title is when you are driving around does it feel like the same place, yet somehow that doesn’t include everything between the Tehachipi’s and Tijuana.

How could THAT be defined? Contiguous space occupied by 5 story buildings no more than 100 yards apart–or what?

Tokyo has the largest population within the metro area, which includes surrounding suburbs. For population within the city proper, the ranking is:

1. Mumbai
2. Karachi
3. Delhi
4. São Paulo
5. Shanghia
6. Moscow
7. Seoul
8. Istanbul
9. Mexico City
10. Tokyo

Tokyo by a large margin. Interesting to compare Tokyo and Mexico City, haven’t been to Mombai.
