and if our bodies reacted immediately at the end of the day (daily allowance) you would have a point. My point is that one or 2 slices of pizza a week isn't going to adversely effect your health if you eat well the rest of the week. yes, that is my point. I see that we are on the same side here. Moderation is key. People don't know what their bodies do when they eat an excess of certain kinds of fats on a daily basis. If they did, they wouldn't indulge daily. Once a week? twice? depends on what the rest of your dietary week looks like. So to clarify, eating cheese isn't bad for you. Eating an excess of cheese is bad for you. But then again, eating lean meat is bad for you if you eat too much of it. Drinking water is bad for you if you drink too much of it. I figured moderation was understood. Apparently not. -- Rob

You say that like eating cheese is bad for you. cheese has a part in a healthy diet. The problem isn't that people are told to eat the wrong things, it's that they are not taught what their body needs and how their body responds to excesses of certain types of nutrients or more importantly, how it responds to the lack of nutrients. I can't tell you how many people I've seen who think they can lose weight by consuming less than half the amount of calories their body needs. They lose weight for about 2 weeks then complain because they've "plateaued" and have no energy and are sleepy all the time. -- Rob

It does look like a pretty indicative symptom. -- Rob

does the constitution apply outside of the borders of the US? Were the crimes these men are being tried for committed in the US? Were they arrested in the US? Until they were brought to the US, I don't see how the constitution applied. Would there be the same human rights outrage if they were captured by the military abroad and (without being transferred to US soil) put into a local military trial? -- Rob

well, as predictable as that was, I'm happy that I can help with your self esteem. Now go jump out of a plane or something. :) -- Rob

It's been a while since anyone here has been able to get under my skin. Don't flatter yourself. It's been clear for a while (to anyone paying attention) that you're just stirring shit. At least you finally owned up to it. call your opinion whatever you want. It doesn't mean we'll pay any more attention to you. -- Rob

so in one post, you're calling it your "argument" in another your opinion. An argument is usually backed up by fact or something at least a little influential and impartial. Opinions? Well, everyone has them, and they all stink. So which is it? Are you trying poorly to make an argument, or stating an opinion? -- Rob

so don't discuss it until we know what it is. Is that like "we have to pass it to find out what's in it"?? -- Rob

Has it? Can you link news stories where the TSA have captured terrorist that were about to board an airplane that supports your claim? Logical flaw time. The 9/11 terrorists gained control of the aircraft. They flew the airplanes. These TSA idiots are frisking the airline pilots for whatever they think the pilots are going to use to take over the aircraft. Newsflash !! They ARE in control of the aircraft. They don't need nailclippers to take it over. Ask the TSA if they know where the crash-axe is kept. Retards. I liked the line from the complaining pilot. He let them have his nail clippers. He noted that if he wanted to kill someone he would use the axe on the wall in the cockpit. -- Rob

Expand that to "Department of Homeland Security" and you've got a sale. deal! -- Rob

you know, you may be right, but one thing is for sure. I don't think I've ever seen a better example of "slippery slope" than the operations of the TSA. -- Rob

well gee... before the TSA, airports ran their own security. How about whoever they decide to hire. The point is that they won't be part of the TSA. -- Rob

That's right, your airport can opt out of the TSA all together. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/Amid-airport-anger_-GOP-takes-aim-at-screening-1576602-108259869.html -- Rob

lawyer? what lawyer? this is a revenge suit and should be tossed out of court. -- Rob

get porn going on your phone as you walk up the line. They'll have a kilt-tent to inspect :) -- Rob

and to use your own analogy, it also would make sense for a CEO to receive compensation based, at least in part, on the performance of the company they were in charge of. -- Rob

Your *mission* does not mean that much to you, or why don't you even write it in correct letters? Sometimes I wonder why we tried so hard with the Berlin Airlift or the destruction of the Berlin Wall. because as a whole, the Germans aren't all douchebags. In fact most of them are pretty nice people. I know several. However, just like any group, they have their standouts also. -- Rob

didn't you hear? They had to pass it to find out what was in it! :) -- Rob

first time I was called I showed up with a letter from work with reason for a deferral, but they just asked "who doesn't want to serve" and there were enough left so we all got to leave. All that did was put us earlier in the list the next time we get called. The next time I was juror candidate number one. Of course it was a DWI case with circumstances very similar to my DWI case that had just been dismissed (lack of evidence). So I brought that up and got the walk. Haven't been called again since. -- Rob

What? That he's a fan of Bob Seger? totally a PA right there... a fan of Bob Seger? wow!!!!11!!1eleventy -- Rob

my point was that is not the property of the passenger. you missed that apparently, or you disagree but did not state that you disagree, that is for a court to decide, though I can see by your responses to me that your mind is made up and you're not listening to discussion on the topic. if there are charges to be filed, they will not center around destruction of a small piece of paper that may or may not have legally been her property. The will be centered around the actions of the TSA agents present. -- Rob

what, for tearing up her ticket? The one that got replaced by the airline? Was it? And yes, it sounds to me that was a malicious, threatening, terroristic thing to do. Not only should that TSA person be fired, she should be fined. yes, towards the end she explained that the guy behind the airline counter printed her a replacement, and suggested she find a different airport. malicious, threatening and terroristic? sure. but if she brought destruction of property charges, they should be thrown out. she suffered no loss of property. My bet is that the airport manager made that happen to avoid the suit that was to be brought once he found out that that is what the TSA bitch did. She should still be fired and fined. i see no difference in what the TSA did there and what the guy did to that woman that got her head stepped on. one thing to note is that that piece of paper probably has on it in fine print somewhere that "this ticket is the property of the issuing airline and can be revoked at any time" or something to that effect. so first, she suffered no loss of property or money because of the incident, and second, the destroyed piece of paper was not likely her property anyway to begin with. don't get me wrong, I'm not defending the TSA agent. it's total bullshit that this happened. But tearing of the ticket is the minor part of the incident. and to compare it to assault and battery? seriously? -- Rob
