You read it here first, folks:

So, 9/11 was not about oil, Afghanistan or even Larry Silverstein's insurance money...it was done to justify molestation searches and porno scanners!

Natural News... as if peddling anti-vaccination nonsense wasn't enough.

I don't think anyone has a right to fly. I try to avoid it whenever possible, actually 2010 will be the first full calendar year in over 20 years that I haven't taken a single trip by air.

I even took a ship to Wacken one year partially because I hate flying to Europe. (Plus I really wanted to go on the ship).

I have yet to be convinced that these new measures really make us safer to such a degree that they justify the intrusion. If the increase in security was obvious and significant, I think it would be justifiable. I don't see that increase in real security as self-evident.

Plus I think there's a political component. Terrorists want to push us to a point where security becomes so intrusive and annoying that people change their lifestyles to avoid it--and then they will exploit the fact that even these super-intrusive and annoying measures won't thwart every attack. That creates a lose-lose situation for us. We lose the benefits that we thought that security would bring, but because we dare not roll back security to an earlier level, we also lose the ability to travel in a reasonable and non-intrusive manner.

Increasing security as a knee-jerk reaction to terrorist attacks is handing Osama a political victory as well as a tactical one. The fact that Al Qaeda doesn't even need an attack to succeed in order to result in oppressive security increases makes it all the worse. I think we should stop handing terrorists these moral and political victories. They're going to keep killing us anyway no matter what we do, so if we resign ourselves to the fact that bombs are going to keep going off (or attempted to be set off) in any event, we might as well at least deny Osama the satisfaction of making everyone's life hell at Thanksgiving or Christmas.

why don't they implement that feature where it just shows a generic figure instead of the actual body? Problem solved, no?

Glenn & Alex had a nice phone convo? Because...

Yeah right.

I have yet to be convinced that these new measures really make us safer to such a degree that they justify the intrusion. If the increase in security was obvious and significant, I think it would be justifiable. I don't see that increase in real security as self-evident.

Amen to that.

Nobody cares what you fatties look like naked.

Matt as a somewhat "obese" woman I find that highly offensive, it's not enough that we are indunuated with the media's obsession with beauty standards that we have to take insults from others.

Hey who let a girl in here!

I think Matt's referring to all fatties, regardless of sex.

them's fightin' words

Look I'm sorry but I tend to be sensitive to that stuff, but hey don't let me ruin your fun.

Elm, I think you'll need some thick skin to hang round these parts. At least until Matt leaves again.

I usually don't mind that shit, but I have been bullied about my appearance in school (not about being fat because that came around my late teens) so I get sensitive and I must be going through one of my "ugly" phases (which is almost everyday anyways) and perhaps depression. I don't want to be a bitch or anything. I know that everyone loves "fat" jokes but there are people out there wanting to change that as it is similar to "gay" jokes (I'm homosexual as well) and "ethnic" jokes. Fat IS the last acceptable form of discrimination.

I know I can't stop you from doing it, I am guilty of making jokes about others as well so I have no right to ask you to stop but I will voice my opinions and dissent.
