Shit happens. If you want the shit to happen less, stop bombing the shit out of other countries (if you believe the BCE official story) and stop electing criminals to run this country (if you believe any part of that story is bullshit).

Pretty much sums up the problem. How about that asshole ompaloompa bone head doing nothing about Eric Holder. Our criminal in charge of the injustice department. I would say selling arms to drug cartels that are later used to kill US government border guards is kind of a big fucking deal. Nobody seems to care about that one. Oh you would think a big Repuke would be all over it because they are so pro gun. All I can say is the crooks are showing their true colors. They all are in cahoots with each other and most this shit they say into a microphone with a camera on them is bullshit they think we want to hear. What they do on the other hand most the time doesn't match their lying rhetoric. They are no longer politicians let's just call them gangsters. They racketeer, they bet on rigged games (insider trading), the intimidate, and they even kill people.Last edited by Nitro Express; 01-24-2012, 12:41 AM.No!

The thing about the boxcutters is that it was a device that could only work once.
Pre 9-11 a hijacking always led to either being flown to the wrong destination or a stand off where you end up at some airport waiting to either get released or worst case scenario special forces killing the hijackers. It was therefore more sensible when a hostess got her throat cut and another one was threatened to appease the situation and wait for things to sort themselves out.
The minute planes started getting flown into the side of a buildings boxcutters no longer became a sufficient threat for a hijacker hence Flight 93.
Actually part of me wonders if box cutters would ever have been enough on a holiday charter flight out of Scotland but that's a different story...

I was about to say calling your kid after Ayn Rand is like calling them Adolf but according to Wikki it's just a coincidence.
Hmmm
Despite his father's libertarian views and strong support for individual rights,[9][10] the novelist Ayn Rand was not the inspiration for Paul's first name; he went by "Randy" while growing up.[11] His wife shortened his name to "Rand".Comment

The 9/11 flights were also not the first time in history that airliners were hijacked using knives. I'm pretty sure I've read about Cuban anti-Castro terrorists that hijacked an airliner using knives also. Secondly, the box-cutters were not the only threat, which included a fake bomb--more than enough to pacify most passengers by giving them a glimmer of hope they might be used as hostages on the ground...The thing about the boxcutters is that it was a device that could only work once.

The old mindset of cooperate with the hijackers is gone now. If anyone tries it now the passengers are going to tear them apart like a rag doll. If they bought their box cutters at Wal-Mart of Harbor Freight the cheap MADE IN CHINA blades will snap off as soon as they cut into the lower seat cushion someone is using as a shield then they will have their temple smashed with the sharp edge of a juice can while the cheap plastic beverage cup is smashed over their eyes and all the sharp bits of plastic are ground into their eye sockets. Then we will have Al Roker sit on them and fart.Last edited by Nitro Express; 01-24-2012, 12:40 PM.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I remember. As a kid I was lucky enough to get to go on a few family trips to Hawaii, London, Acapulco, & Cabo San Lucas. Everyone was smoking, drinking, enjoying the windows & looking out. (This was the late 70's early 80's) When I wasn't flying but taking or picking up someone, I would walk right up to the gate to wait for them. Now I drop them off in the parking lot & let them be alone for 3 hours before the flight.
Anyone remember PSA? The planes that had a smiley face painted on the front?“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”Comment
