This is not what I expected freedom to look like.

	You're thinking of Ellis Island. This is Manhattan. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I've never been to Manhattan before. I'm from Detroit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ellis is the one with the Statue of Liberty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've read about that in history books. Bring me your poor, etc. It was a long time ago and things have changed a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't worry, it was never true to start with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The principle was sound, they just forgot that humans were fallible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	More like they forgot that black and brown people are human. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Humanity exists in mysterious places. Humans can be both incredible and confusing in equal measure. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Liberty Island is where the Statue of Liberty is. Ellis Island is where the immigration inspection station was and the hospital. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They're both misused as rhetorical tools by people trying to bend the immigration system to their agenda, doesn't really matter if it's the same island or not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarcasticfriend 2019-08-02 01:18 am UTC (link)
	It does matter. They're not on the same islands. If you're going to spout information, at least give the right information. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My educational history's rather patchwork, so I'm not overly stressed if getting the location of the Statue of Liberty wrong in a joke is one of the things that fell through the cracks. Especially when people come from so many different places. Maybe it is on Ellis Island in someone's dimension. Maybe it is in mine, even, I wouldn't know for sure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	All I'm saying is if you're going to tell someone something then find out the information from here or mention that what you know is from your own world (if it's different). The rest of it was your own opinions and that's fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nothing outside of Manhattan seems to even exist in this dimension, but I'm looking forward to seeing you preface everything that relies on the assumption of a straightforward fact with a disclaimer that it might not apply here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarcasticfriend 2019-08-02 01:54 am UTC (link)
	It doesn't matter what I say, so I will choose to end this conversation now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ashtawawidiwin 2019-08-02 01:57 am UTC (link)
	You could have chosen not to start it. But I apologise that my joke contained information that isn't true in your dimension. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarcasticfriend 2019-08-02 02:00 am UTC (link)
	It's text. It didn't read like a joke. Sorry if I misunderstood it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ashtawawidiwin 2019-08-02 02:01 am UTC (link)
	That's fair, actually. I suppose there's something to be said for emoji. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sarcasticfriend 2019-08-02 02:02 am UTC (link)
	They help. :D (Reply to this) (Parent)
