    You missed the point again. THERE WAS NO HIJACKING! Don't you think maybe that is pretty good evidence that no hijackers made it on the plane? My god, sometimes I feel like I'm teaching an introductory logic course to non-English speakers. First Class Citizen Twice Over

    No, you take reasonable, thoughtful posts then misuse them to make them appear idiotic or simplistic. Casual mistakes or intentional provocation? I don't know. First Class Citizen Twice Over

    I introduced my husband to skydiving then later, when he'd gone nuts with it, he introduced me to base jumping. First Class Citizen Twice Over

    You are outrageously good at twisting my words. I almost admire that skill in an abstract way. I said the right-wing religious freaks will argue that she SHOULDN'T do this. That they'll turn it into a moralistic, prohibitive position. On the other hand, Skykittykat questioned why she'd BOTHER. Your connecting her innocent, reasonable questions with my strong words against a dictatorial, moralistic group is good social engineering and might turn a casual reader against me personally, but has nothing to do with what I said. Again, it's nice of you to put words in my mouth. I really really appreciate that. First Class Citizen Twice Over

    My point was wholly legitimate. You're the one who keeps stripping the bylines off histrionic editorials then arguing they're news. I sincerely wonder, and you still haven't said, if you understand this thing you posted is a satire. First Class Citizen Twice Over

    With gravitymaster's history of posting turgid partisan editorials as fact, I wonder if he thinks this is a straight news story. First Class Citizen Twice Over

    The gay bit was (hopefully) a self-limiting digression from the thread, not a hijack, but if you want to continue this thought maybe it's worth a new thread. If you do want to continue talking about this, please start off by explaining why you think I hold the odd position you seem to be attributing to me. First Class Citizen Twice Over

    I never implied anything of the sort. Thanks for inventing words for me to have said however. I always appreciate that. What I implied was that all this blustering that the marines SHOULD have turned into intimidating thugs is ridiculous. This thread is full of right-wingers saying the marines had every right to interfere when a government security agent believed there was cause to double check that one of them wasn't a threat. I thought you guys were the ones who keep saying "We're at war" but here you are egging one part of your own team to sabotage the work of another part of your own team. Even YOU guys don't take this war seriously. First Class Citizen Twice Over

    Just checking if several months of thinking about was enough for you to come up with even one. Guess not. Hmm... I wonder if that's a sign that... could it be? ... THERE AREN'T ANY! First Class Citizen Twice Over

    Hey, by the way did you ever think of even ONE right gay people have that straight people don't have? EVEN ONE? First Class Citizen Twice Over

    Are you looking for a discussion on ethics or warm, fuzzy encouragement to go do a nice thing? If it's ethics you're looking for, you might want to give a sample of how anyone might consider it wrong. "My mom doesn't like the idea of little Gails" isn't an ethical problem. In fact, I can't think of one at all. Of course I'm sure the right-wing religious freaks will come up with some argument for why you shouldn't do something harmless and private. They always do.

    So are you guys saying that the right thing to do if the TSA stops you is to intimidate them? Or does that only apply to people with guns? First Class Citizen Twice Over

    Obviously nobody or there would have been headlines about a hijacking. First Class Citizen Twice Over

    Does this count as a personal attack? I suppose it would if I said it. First Class Citizen Twice Over

    The last 14 US military adventures were offensive, not defensive. I suppose we should be thankful the nukes have stayed inert... so far. I'm not confident about the near future. Is anyone? First Class Citizen Twice Over

    More George Walker garbage? I don't see it in the article but I could certainly be convinced. First Class Citizen Twice Over

    No byline? You must be tired of people calling you on your bullshit, partisan, editorial sources. No matter. I'll fill it in: Bullshit, partisan, editorial source I especially love the ad on that page that says "Men: Do You Hate Rejection By Women? Cilck Here Now!" First Class Citizen Twice Over

    "10x"? You mean the homeopathic dilution? That means they've diluted the extract ten-to-one TEN TIMES. In other words, there's 1 part salvia to 10,000,000,000 parts water/alcohol. I'm not surprised you didn't get high. First Class Citizen Twice Over

    Maybe. Does a president declassify secrets simply by saying them? Or is there a process? (For those rare readers among us who know what hypotheticals are for, imagine a Russian spy who managed to become president then told the Russian premier our missile de-activation codes so we'd be defenseless. Is there an impeachment case against him or not? Regardless, if this president were a republican then rushmc would come online to scream "President Ivanovich can't be impeached. Presidents are allowed to give away our missile codes!" If the president were a democrat he'd take the opposite position of course.) If there's a stipulated process and Bush did not follow it, then it's criminal leaking of secrets. First Class Citizen Twice Over
