As far as the other side goes, the FBI terrorism experts cleared them and the airline still banned them from flying.
The airline owns the plane, not the FBI. The airline broke no laws. They can kick you off for chewing the wrong flavor of gum. As far as the plane goes, the pilot is GOD as long as you are on that plane. Don't like it? Toooo bad. Suck it up.
You just Foxwined the thread. Anytime a poster pulls out Foxnews as some hatemongering right-wing nutjob site that spreads hate, you automatically lose the argument. Double-negative points if you use the alternative spelling of 'Fauxnews'.
Islam is a RELIGION (being generous with that statement), NOT A RACE.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. Go buy a dictionary before you shove your foot any further down your throat.
Shut up, troll boy. Either you are a crappy troll, or you really believe what you just wrote and as such are wasting the oxygen that could better be used by someone with functional gray matter.
Wow....you're citing an wiki article that cites Dennis Kucinich, a man who is so far left that most of his OWN party even ignores him, as your source? Wow. I don't even know how to respond to such a monumental failure of critical thinking skills, as you obviously wouldn't be able to comprehend. Just...wow.
Good GOD would you people EVER get off the "stolen election" bullshit? You have passed "pathetic" LONG ago and are now just sad curiosities. Get some SERIOUS psychiatric help/meds before its too late, if its not already. Tell yourself a lie enough times, and eventually you will believe it. Especially if you're a willing participant.
I'm torn. Your sig says not to feed anonymous coward trolls, and although you aren't anonymous, your calling George Bush Sr. a cold blooded killer either smacks of a troll or someone who is just as stuffed FULL of shiat much like a a plate of manicotti at an all-you-can-eat italian restaurant is stuffed full of cheap ricotta cheese.
Not sure which. Troll meter batteries may need changing. I knew I should have gotten the lithium ones instead.
Agreed. Grandparent poster is an f-ing idiot. "never EVER happens"... how incredibly dumb. You knocked your laptop off the hotel room desk in the dark and now all the display does is make funny colors (hey, it was an Acer what do you expect,) or you borrowed a friends computer to take on holiday and forgot the password. Yes, those things NEVER happen. How mind-numbingly ignorant. You know the saying....those who deal in absolutes, are absolute idiots. Come to think of it, it makes perfect sense you worked for customs. Perfect. Sense.
I wish I could mod you +10, but at the same time I'd like to mod the parent +10 so EVERYONE could see just how many people these days think (and I apologize for using the word "think" in the same sentence with people who support "anti-offensive" or whever you want to call it, laws). You do NOT have the right not to be offended. My $DIETY I don't know why or how or when this "right not to be offended" BULLSHIT came about. I'd call it a slippery slope, but its not even that. It'd a freaking CLIFF to fall off of when you start trying to implement such laws.
Best buy stock in duct tape now, as everyone will have to walk around with it stuck over their mouths all the time if enough people like the parent poster ever get in charge. Might as well get rich off of the downfall of a free society, I guess. Personally, I'd rather the stock tank because it will mean people like that will have been told to collectively sod off once and for all. I fear it may not go the way however, and the momentum seems to be heading in the wrong direction. I hope I'm wrong. I fear I'm not.
Seconded. But more than an idiot. A spectacular idiot. I don't want to have to drive 55 on a road that easily merits 70. But 150 or so? And not due to a dire emergency (and even then odds are you won't make it to the hospital at that speed)? Yeah. Go directly to Pound You In The Ass jail.
Methinks you spend too much time playing games, make bad grades because no one makes you do differently, and are upset that someone might make you get off you ass and take some responsibility.
Am I wrong when I think that if there were a site on Facebook call F*ck Chistianity, with a similar petition of outraged Facebook users saying they would quit unless the site was taken down, that the story would get the entirely opposite spin when it ran on Slashdot, with the writer coming down on the side of free speech over protecting outraged religionists from being offended?
Nope. Because you are dead right. And it shows how intellectually dishonest the people you are speaking of are. And they are completely incapable of understanding that. Ever.
I don't usually side with the "screw the man" type of thinking, but man, it shows how SERIOUSLY messed up the system is when the president of one of the companies that decides whether or not you get to get a credit card, a car loan, a home loan, or impacts any number of other financial transactions you may need or want to make is one of the 400 RICHEST people.
Yup. Welcome to Slashdot, where bullshit begets bullshit when posters hope that no one reads the fine print and instead spout hysterical leftist crap they hope everyone will just automatically believe. Slogans are SO much easier than actually using your brain.
And as a result, air conditioners have to work that much harder in order to cool us off. And don't go spouting nonsense about how they work just as good. B.S. Got in an older Toyota the other day that still had the old refrigerant in it, and the air it throws out of this little 4 banger is WAY colder than any new car I've been in, and that is several makes and models. I mean this thing would put icicles on you, and where I live its 100F out these days. Save the ozone one way (which is such crap...) and drive up energy consumption and create more smog, etc. at the same time. A win-win, wouldn't you say? What crap.
Take all the offense you want, idiot. Must be nice to not have to make a commitment. It's so much more convenient, isn't? Don't insult me by trying to justify yourself. It won't work. This moral equivalence crap is getting *so* old. Some things are wrong simply because they are. It doesn't have a damn thing to do with religion, so don't prop that up as an excuse. Some people get married because of their faith, but for me and I daresay/hope that most marriages are a sign of committing yourself to one person; it's saying that you take responsibility for the other person's well being and happiness, and for the any children that come from the relationship.
People such as yourself and others have developed this "cool" attitude that religion is the suX0r, and therefore anything associated with it is crap too. Marriage isn't just about that, or as I said, for many not about that at all. It just often takes place in a church, in large part due to tradition. So get off your high horse. It's preventing you from seeing some of life's truths.
(P.S. Mods, go right ahead. It won't change reality, though you wish it would. You know what they say about wishes.)
BINGO. Exactly. Couldn't have said it better myself. It had some cool aspects, and who doesn't love some good T and A, but I don't watch sci-fi for that. Well...not mainly anyway. T and A like when Rodney was sinking in the jumper and Carter showed up sans blouse. Thats what I like. Not the crap that LEXX was.

STFU, STFD, & HAND. HTH.
What does an open pocket of flat bread have to do with anything?
Shut up, troll boy. Either you are a crappy troll, or you really believe what you just wrote and as such are wasting the oxygen that could better be used by someone with functional gray matter.
I've got some time....
Death penalty for spamming. Might not stop it but it will sure stem the tide like no other tactic would. /Is he joking, you ask?
Oh come on, it was uninhabited!

I see no need for a sales tax on downloads other than padding pockets and paying for totally unrelated projects.
You're out of line, citizen. This 'thinking' you're doing is incorrect behavior. Report to your nearest reeducation center.

Congratulations. You win the MASTER FAIL. Please, don't breed. Ever. You are why the phrase "f***ing idiot' was invented.
Seconded. But more than an idiot. A spectacular idiot. I don't want to have to drive 55 on a road that easily merits 70. But 150 or so? And not due to a dire emergency (and even then odds are you won't make it to the hospital at that speed)? Yeah. Go directly to Pound You In The Ass jail.

Yup, I am QUITE sure I nailed it.

That is seriously not the way it should be.
