No, even then it's not a 'first amendment' issue. The police wouldn't arrest him for the tweet, they'd arrest him for causing a public disturbance in an airport.
Not sure which laws in the US would apply but there are about six different ones in the UK that could be used, none of which care about the tweet.
If he left the tweet online and walked out of the airport he wouldn't get arrested. The tweet isn't the issue, his persistent demands that he's let onto the plane would be the issue.
Sorry, you've called out the African Americans, white, asian.. what about Black, Afro-Carribean, African, Arab workers? What about hispanics, European-American, Irish American, the "My great grandfather had a niece whose mother's great uncle was Scottish"-American?
Fuck you and your racist focus. Try breaking down employment by social background, place of abode and other factors before throwing racial fucking stereotypes at us.
"Men too" is not an answer, because the harassment and threats that women face is disproportionate to what men face.
No, men face actual violence rather than mere threats. Have you seen assault numbers broken down by gender? Murder numbers?
How old where you when you first feared to be raped?
12, since you ask. I had to fight off four attackers. Luckily they were too focussed on achieving penetration to actually work out how to immobilise me.
A significant portion of women in the western world has endured sexual abuse and probably still bears the scars of that.
So I'm meant to do what about it exactly?
Yes, men are also abused. It is a problem, but it's nowhere as common and nowhere as socially acceptable.
Abuse of women is not socially acceptable where I live, where I work, where I go out at night. Maybe you should move to a better country.
Then again, maybe I should. Abuse of men is socially acceptable, when it's merely verbal.
Your experience is not the same as those of the opposite gender. Deal with it.
I can and do deal with it. I'm just fucked off with the pretense that women have it so much worse.
He probably wouldn't have reported it. Men don't usually report minor (in the sense of no visible physical injury) incidents of assault and battery unless they were looking for any ammunition they could use against someone (i.e. they really hate the attacker and want to get back at them).
Yeah, I didn't report the assault I received from a woman in the workplace.
I did make notes of the incident and keep them offsite, for fear that she'd complain about me for my response to the assault - I turned and told her that if she did that again I'd punch her in the face.
She didn't report it, so I didn't bother to report it either. She was a very sexist person though.
Just because the average gamer is now mature doesn't mean that there isn't a sizeable population of wankers out there too.
Anyway, what's wrong with the word 'fuck'? I use it daily, in the office, and it would be sexist of me to try and avoid it in front of my female colleagues.
Society needs to figure it out, but that doesn't mean halting progress, it doesn't mean returning to a subsistence lifestyle and it doesn't meant that the middle classes are some important protected group that we dare not touch.
MS bashing has been a core Slashdot content since before I created an account. If anything it's slackened off significantly since MS lost their complete dominance of consumer computing.
Maggie made sure you guy's contribute less than the others and you are still moaning.
Less than France and Germany, perhaps. Oh no, we're only in the top fucking three. Quick, lets celebrate this senseless waste of several billion pounds.
If Britain has so many shortcomings then it'll be no loss to the EU when we leave.
Extra gdp growth? You can get that through trade agreements. You can continue to participate in the European economy without needing to be part of the EU. You just get to avoid the insanely expensive unaccountable bureaucracy.
I wrote a letter to my MP. In it I expressly told him that I fear the government more than terrorists, that I don't trust the police (and quoted specific examples why) and drew direct parallels between this legislation and the activities of the Stasi.
He'll fucking ignore it, because he's an arrogant cunt that couldn't give a shit about his constituents, staunchly supports European integration ahead of the interests of the UK and until recently was in thrall to his corporate paymasters. Yes Kenneth Clarke, I mean you, you ugly fuckface.
We're trying. Interesting that as soon as there's serious momentum behind the UK leaving the EU all the other nations are suddenly panicking about it - could be something to do with our net contribution.
Sorry but I'm pissed off with bankrolling the EU. There are better things to spend the money on. I'm also fucking annoyed that the country is suffering from overpopulation, a significant cause of which is unfettered immigration from within the EU. I like Europeans, it's just that my country doesn't have the room or the infrastructure for them all to live here.
UKIP is full of cocks, twats, idiots and the occasional racist. They are buffoons and have horrific policies. They also recognise that none of this matters while we're subservient to the EU and unable to make decisions in our own best interest.
Terribly sorry if that offends you but tell you what: Invite Turkey, Serbia et al into the EU, force them to switch to the Euro and enjoy the expanded population and feeling of superiority that gives you. Just let the UK rescind into a small nation with a lot of free trade agreements, I'd be quite happy with that.
If I buy a washing machine at Target I don't have to buy it again at Walmart to get the 'cotton' wash cycle, and again at Amazon to get the 'drain water at the end of the cycle' feature.
Gamestop are intentionally causing game content fragmentation that diverts development resource and/or prevents customers cost-effectively acquiring the full game content.
It's stupid, it's malicious and it's why everybody over the age of 30 waits for a steam sale to buy the game and its DLC these days, rather than buying half a game upfront.
If I'm recruiting someone to deliver a single project, with a skillset we don't have in-house, then I'll look for a contractor and I'll focus on skills, delivery and availability.
If I'm recruiting someone to help progress the company, suggest and lead strategic work, fit into and enhance the culture and cope with multiple complex pieces of work at the same time, I'm going to want someone with a track record of working with a large corporation, that understands how they work and how to work effectively within them, and that has the length of service that suggests that at a minimum they could work the system well enough not to get sacked.
It's destructive and expensive employing people that can't fit into a team, or that wont be happy at the company.

That's very atypical, and still not practical. You are rather unlikely to try and actually use of all of those devices at once.
Suddenly I understand why the need to put pilots somewhere else.
Pilots in secure room near the tail, passengers in seats at the front of the aircraft with a great view through the glass nose.
He didn't say that he has a problem with hoppers. That may be because he's careful not to employ them.
There's a difference between people growing out of their role and moving on, and people job hopping.
It depends what I'm looking for.
