| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00 | I'm sorry but while he did do a good job holding the city together does anyone else think that aside from that he ... didn't deserve it? EDIT: Yeah, I realize my original comment sounded kind of dicky. It's man of the year, not man of the past couple of years. However without 9/11 no one would have ever thought to name him Man of the Year?  "It appears my wee wee has been strucken with rigor mortis."

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Sep. 00 | Yeah, what a fickle bunch we Americans are. A guy cleans up an entire city (well, at least the part that tourists go to), gets rid of nudie bars, hookers, and homeless, then takes charge after the greatest calamity on American soil this century, and we LIKE him all of a sudden.

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | quote: I kind of agree. Pre-Sept 11th, I felt nothing but total disgust for Guiliani. I've disagreed with most of his policies and tactics since his 2nd term began. But Since September, Guiliani really pulled through for NY. For 2 Months there wasn't a moment you didn't see him working.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | quote: Perhaps without 9/11, he would never be man of the year, but he certainly deserved the title New Yorker of the year on more than one occasion. If it was not for his aggressive leadership in the past 8 years, the city would not be the way it is now. Although his methods may have been questionable at times, the end result on most if not all times had a positive effect on the city as a whole. If it were not for the leadership skills of Guiliani, 9/11 would have brought on more terrors...he kept the city together, and for that he should be recognized.  USA | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Sep. 01 | Hating Guiliani prior to the destruction of the WTC/Pentagon and now supporting him isn't a sign of hypocrisy. If September 11th changed the way many, many people view their own lives, why wouldn't it change the way you view other people?  One Nation...Indivisible. NYPD & FDNY: All give some - some give all.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Feb. 01 | quote: You have mistaken kissing ass for sarcasm. I forgot the [sarcasm][/sarcasm] inserts. My apologies. lol EDIT Detectors is spelled detectors not ditectors. When you aim to insult at least use correct spelling. EDIT "If the other person doesn't know it's still legal isn't it?" Actually in the state of NJ only one of two people part taking in the conversation is needed to know. Again, when aiming to insult use some logic. EDIT "Jesus tapdancing Christ, we don't care if it was legal, it's fucking insanity." No, what's insane is that you took an inside joke that you know nothing about literally & seriously. That fact alone, makes the joke on you. ;) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) This message was edited by njstrawberry on 12-23-01 @ 7:56 PM | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: May. 00 | Good for rudy. Yes he was good after 9/11, but that doesnt' change what he did in the past. There are several incidents I won't forgive him for. At least he's sharing the honor with the citizens of NY.  - AIM:roweLENTless2001 | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | If you heard Rudy's speech when he accepted it, he said that this award really goes to all New Yorkers for everything they did after the tragedy from the police to the firemen to the rescue workers to all the people who donated time, food and money. | ||||

That's a damn big if, and it did happen, so you cant say anything about it. Put someone else into Guiliani's shoes and 999999 out of a million wouldnt be able to do half the job he did.  | ||||
