I'm no babe in the woods (I completed my 100th trip around the block last week), but I've seen some comment threads on news sites that would convince you Neanderthals didn't go extinct; they're alive and well. You just hope the comments are more troll/bombastic in nature and not what people truly believe (OK, maybe I am still a bit naive).
Sooo, is this your leftist fantasy of what people on the right believe?
And by demonizing and alienating the "other half" you expect to win some sort of moral victory... prove yourself intellectually superior? Prove you're more capable of critical thinking. Some of my conservative friends who are scientists and technologies would disagree with you.
The irony in your assumption-laden post is you're postulating that "righties" hate rich people, but isn't that the stance of the left? (Of course, unless said rich people agree with your politics.)
I guess I believe in priorities. They don't seem to be doing a whole lot about the other things, but they got money and resources to spare on space defense.
You felt so threatened by satellite surveillance that you decided to pour your scientific and financial resources into weaponizing against it and ratcheting up the potential for war? You've got far bigger problems on earth than over your heads. A population of 1.3 billion who represent the largest number of people living below the international poverty line of $1.25 per day, breathtaking income inequality and 31% of children under the age of five underweight. But, by all means, spend millions defending yourself from the "space enemies".
Actually, I think the investigation was covered through penalties against the convicted as well as selling off what's left of Paul Manafort's life, a small fortune he amassed through decades of illicit lobbying work.
Abagnale would pose as a pilot to sit in airline jump seats and get a free ride. I don't know why, but the image of the pilot turning to him for help just crossed my mind.
I always get a kick out of astronomers (or perhaps it's the way the MSM reports it) referencing the edge of the universe, as if they know where the boundaries are.
People often complain Duckduckgo.com doesn't return the same number or quality of search results as Google; That's simply not true. The vast majority of the time I use it, I find the information I'm searching for on the first try. Years ago, I made a conscience decision to support Duckduckgo.com because of their ethics. Anyone who cares about their privacy should be supporting organizations that respect it and refuse to use technology that tracks you for marketing and other purposes. So, if you believe the same, step up and start using those technologies to the detriment of those that don't. Send a message.
Howabout doing your freakin' jobs and passing legislation to outlaw robocalls... oh, except of course during your campaigns. We wouldn't want to miss those/s.
So, as your link proved, bombings and hijackings were not common anywhere in the world in the 1970s and early 1980s. You might as well look at the 1990s, because in 1990 there were 6 bombings/hijackings, 10 bombings/hijackings in 1991 and 11 in 1992 -- matching or surpassing most years a decade to two before.
The fact that virtually all the bombings and hijackings during those decades were outside the U.S. and the OP is commenting about 9/11 and U.S. gun deaths exclusively would made the point moot.
1. Are you brain dead or has all critical thinking just ceased to exist between your ears?
2. You're comparing a deliberate attack on a civilian population by an enemy to that 30,000 gun deaths in the U.S., 64% of which are suicides? (Gee, the more you know.). You might as well compare 180,000 annual lung cancer deaths to 9/11.
"Bombings and hijackings were relatively common in the 1970s and early 1980s" ?
No. Bombings and hijackings were not common in any way in the 1970s or 1980s. But, I'm assuming you think they were higher then because you remember a couple of high-profile cases. Never mind actually taking time to discover if your assumptions are correct.
You should consider joining the fake news squad on Facebook. You'd be a star there.
Airlines charge you for food, for blankets for baggage (believe it or not, they never used to). Like banks, which now earn more through fees than interest or investments with your money, Airlines are basing more and more of their revenue on fees. So, here we have an airline upset that they couldn't squeeze one more passenger into a seat on a flight.
Hey, Lufthansa, the passenger paid for the flight; it's not your prerogative to force him/her to take every leg.
One the first day, two the second day, three the third day?
Who takes acid day after day? Acid isn't like pot or cocaine; you don't trip every day for the fun of it. When you're tripping, you're not able to function normally.
We shouldn't limit our thought process to speed; Perhaps an alien species has found a way to fold space. Who knows? As Thomas Edison once said, and I still believe this to be true, "We don't know a millionth of one percent about anything."

"Only 3,000 people died on 9/11"?
1. Are you brain dead or has all critical thinking just ceased to exist between your ears?
2. You're comparing a deliberate attack on a civilian population by an enemy to that 30,000 gun deaths in the U.S., 64% of which are suicides? (Gee, the more you know.). You might as well compare 180,000 annual lung cancer deaths to 9/11.

FTA: "The man, Eric Gerard McGinnis, had been under a court order that prohibited him from possessing a firearm"...
I mean, it's not like the summary was long. That sentence was right at the top.
Who knew commas were important ;-)

I hope the court rules against the airline.

There will be a recession; for some darned reason they keep happening every ten years or so.
