Not sure about where you are but I often buy a ticket at the airport for the next flight and the price is dependant on what seats they have left. And yes, I can pay cash if I want but they want to see ID (I carry my passport even though I am flying domestic).
I am not sure if you have a passport but it does not have religion on it. You cannot see a persons religion by looking at them so what you are judging a person by, when you look at them, is race. When I get on an El Al flight I am treated well because I am Caucasian but if an Arab arrives he will be treated less well. He may well be a Jew but he will not be treated as well as I am because of his race.
When I was in the military they were always more thorough with the top brass because that was who would write a report on how thorough they were. If they waved their friendly driver through he would not be writing a report on that.
I would never want to fly on a plane with armed guards. It does not matter who fires a gun on a plane, it is a very bad thing. I would rather that no one had a gun. El Al did a lot of other things way back then that no one else did like luggage tracking so that no luggage could get on a plane without its owner. Lockerbie would not have happened on an El Al plane. Real security can be invisible and not effect the users. TSA is about theatre and the luggage tracking on other airlines is still a joke.
Do you honestly believe that elected officials actually do any of the work? They are too busy kissing babies and trying to look good. It is the millions of non elected officials that make up the no fly lists and other things that the elected guys stop by their office in the morning to sign. No country is stupid enough to let elected officials actually have any of the real power.
I think it is more about being open and having a right to contest being put on a no fly list. An individual who has done nothing wrong can end up on such a list and has not right to appeal. If there is a right to legal review and a court on seeing the evidence, agrees with the no fly order then fine, but there needs to be a right to contest it as too many innocent people are having their lives ruined just because they have the wrong name or they do not agree with the government. Cat Stevens spoke out about the Afghan war, he never posed a threat to safety, he just has political views that the government do not like. He has a legal right to those views, he should have been allowed a day in court to ask for evidence that he posed a threat.
The clone will not necessarily have any musical talent at all. Take a look at any pair of identical twins as they grow up. They start with extreme similarities and end up completely different. As we go through adolescence we naturally seek our own identity. John Lennon sought his in his music and became an icon of his times. A clone of him would naturally seek his own identity with the same vigour and would likely choose not to play music as that would be to follow rather than to seek an individual identity. For the experiment to succeed the clone would not only have to grow up in the same environment but also without any knowledge of John Lennon.
We are talking about the UK whose government are far too busy bending over for the US to care about their more important neighbours with whom they do 75% of their trade. Tony Bliar (AKA The Poodle) is now a multi millionaire thanks to his blind support of G.W. and total disregard for the needs of the UK populace.
This comment is obviously offensive to jackbooted thugs as it clearly implies that they are lower in the social order than retarded people. This is clearly not the case as it takes considerable intellect to work out how to put on a pair of jackboots or even know what they are. You cannot go into your local mall and ask for a pair of jackboots, they never have them in stock. So simply being able to purchase a pair of jack boots shows considerable intellect.
There is a scientific basis behind homoeopathy but it is still sugar pills with no meaningful medicinal purpose except as placebo. The main difference between alternative medicine and medicine is that when an alternative or herbal remedy is proven to work it becomes medicine.
I bought a Nokia N95 and bought some games for it several years ago (about 6 years ago). The phone was still working fine when they closed nGage store and after having to reboot my phone to factory setting I could not play those games, that I had bought, ever again. I will never be that stupid again. I want to make sure that I own what I buy. I am happy to buy a.iso on line and download it but I want that installer. I do not buy from iTunes or Android stores.
Spying, by definition, is without permission therefore not agreed upon. Therefore an agreement not to spy has no meaning as you cannot agree to not agree about something. The whole idea is just political spin as both sides must know that this has no meaning and it is only to keep the plebs happy.
I was once asked for my driving license at the check out in a Californian supermarket and the girl was really upset that it did not have a photo yet she did not want to see my passport which has a photo. She called the manager who looked at me (I am an old fart) and he just told her to get on with it. Weird country.
Having spent the past 10 years away from home, I can assure you that there are few places worse. Central Africa has some bad destinations if you really need to find one but most places are really great. Moscow really is a lot better from most aspects. The women are stunning and there is a lot to do and plenty of work, so he has really stepped up.
Right, now you are starting to realise that they can only regulate on US soil. So bitcoin still continues unregulated and US citizens find themselves in a backwater again. Well not really as bitcoin is already a backwater.
If we are to enter a truly non-sexist non-whatever then sex etc, should not be a relevant criteria so to choose JA is sexist and I am opposed, but as elsewhere I still have to say that there is already a picture of a woman on the other side...
$100 ? They must have thought that it was all their Christmases and birthdays rolled into one. I got stopped in Siam Reap, Cambodia, a little while back, for going the wrong way up a one way street at night without lights and the policeman was happy with $1. Even in Thailand I never give more than $6 and I get stopped a lot (very bad driver), once I went through a red light turning left into a one-way to go the wrong way and almost drove into the policeman coming out of the one-way and I gave him $3. People like you make it hard for the locals who do not earn enough to give $100 in a bribe. They do not earn that much in a month. Us bad drivers owe it to the local population to give very small bribes so as not to inflate the local fine system.
"There's a lot more there. If you look under the surface even slightly you will see a rather bleaker and very insightful social commentary. There's more to it than that as well. There's interesting observations and reflections on family interaction too. At the most basic level, it seems that parents will never cease to be an embarrassment to teenage children and vice versa."
