dre Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 Kids today...if it isn't on YouTube....it never happened. You were talking about probability though. The fact is these changes are being made to a system that already had an extremely good safety record. Sure you can point out things like 911 or Lockerby but youre talking about 1 in 10 million flights probably. And you can dramatically reduce the risk of injury by installing cockpit doors and schooling pilots on when they can and cant be opened. Then you for the most part eliminate the change of a plane being used as a guided missile. Will some planes be brought down by terrorist attacks? Maybe, but thats ok. It sucks when it happens but a certain ammount of risk is inherent in the activity and its not realistic to completely mitigate that risk. As for the scanners... I dont really worry about them to much. But if I was an American Id be asking when the multi trillion dollar 911 security spending spree is going to end... Quote I question things because I am human. And call no one my father who's no closer than a stranger
Yukon Jack Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 I just left another forum for good, because it was full of hateful anti-American post by sanctimonious pseudo-patriot Canadians who were so full of themselves that they thought that the only way to be a good Canadian is to be Yankee-basher. Most of them not only admitted their ignorance about the United States, but were actually proud of declaring that they have not been in there since they were kids. Sad, isn't it, when one has to prove, or claim to be a patriot by showing hate and condescension towards the citizen of another country? Quote

bush_cheney2004 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 Here you go, bush_cheney2004, enjoy: http://forums.canadiancontent.net/ Thank you Sir! Much fun to be had over there based on my first peek: A Canadian laments (paraphrasing), "I want to know about our political system as much and in the ways I know so much about the American system". This speaks volumes! Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
Yukon Jack Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) Be prepared to suffer attacks by Muslim sympathizers, atheists, liberals and Obama-worshippers. (Pardon the redundancy). And of course, super-patriot "Canadians" who would gladly tell an immigrant like myself to "go back to the country you came from", and call anyone who disagrees with them racists, bigots, rednecks and uneducated boors. But you probably know that already. And DON'T ever use words like the ones that are surely to be used against you, unless you want to be banned at the slightest "indiscretion" deemed offensive by the mimosa-like moderators.

bloodyminded Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 Be prepared to suffer attacks by Muslim sympathizers, The fact that you use a term like "Muslim sympathizers" speaks volumes. And you are totally unaware! Remarkable. atheists, There's nothing wrong with atheists. liberals Liberals are alright! and Obama-worshippers. These would be foolish people indeed.

bush_cheney2004 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 bush_cheney2004, are you having fun yet? Yes...but then again...I always have fun. Otherwise, why do it? Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
dre Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 Yes...but then again...I always have fun. Otherwise, why do it? Clearly its the lack of anything ELSE to do. Quote I question things because I am human. And call no one my father who's no closer than a stranger
