Illuminati I have mates that are so obsessed with the illuminati and their apparent control of the world. And these are guys earning six figure incomes
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Normally the best way to deal with conspiracy theories is to try one up them. Make them sound like the one that they are just believing what everyone wants them to.

I'm struggling with this one though.

I mean when someone starts claiming that an international airline is covering something up because they have more than one plane that is the same model you really don't have much room to move.

Then there is the whole window configuration stuff..

Sounds as if TR is on about 16 figures.

BTW, I read the article that Schifty posted, and it wasn't as enjoyable as I had hoped. Certainly wasn't popcorn worthy, mate.

You know, I've got more than 2 million frequent flyer points across various carriers - I deadset LIVE in planes - and I never think about crashing. The odds against it are just so astronomically ridiculous that it's not worth considering.
I'm in the same boat. Platinum Velocity Frequent Flyer for the second year in a row after several years of Gold membership and when I get on a plane the thought doesn't even cross my mind.

For me it's just sitting in a crowded room for a few hours reading a book, smacking some wine and perhaps going over a few bumps in the process

It would be hard to think at all after rolling/staggering out of the lounge after enjoying buckloads of free piss. Just finding your seat would be a mission in itself.

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

I think they normally route out over the mediterranean, then hook to the left of the French Riviera.

Marseille is the main airport in the region and could definitely handle an emergency landing. Geneva would have been the next option.

They'll solve this one quickly.

Only happened an hour ago - they're just filling air time.

I don't think the descent rate was 'catastrophic' as they are saying.

Alex Jones was talking about the NSA's mass surveillance program years before Snowden came on the scene. In the conspiracy world he is considered credible and he has a lot of followers.

According to Vice's latest episode there are over 1 million militia in the US. Many of which subscribe to the theory that Obama is planning on turning the US into an authoritarian state before he is supposed to leave office. These guys spend their weekends training in guerrilla warfare and urban combat and many genuinely believe that they will soon be taking up arms against the US government.

Lindt isn't halal certified and provides the best chocolate around.
Vegemite will always have a place in my pantry, even if it were Broncos certified.
Main thing is, **** costs enough without paying money towards a neanderthalic religion with archaic practices.

Rubbish. You're scared of the threat that Islam poses to your life and you're lashing out against it.

If these products were linked with the Catholic Church you'd have absolutely no problem with them.

What do you think of Kosher certified products??

1. I think you're just the standard **** that wants to turn it into an argument about prejudice instead of what it really is. In this instance it is an Islamic organisation profiteering by strong arming companies into paying them a levy. This is of coursed passed on to the consumer. Why should we pay for another dumb religion to exist?
2. Actually I would but as far as I know there is no certification process requiring a payment for catholic approved goods. When a kiddy toucher certification comes out I'll be sure to avoid
3. I don't believe I have ever come across a kosher certified product. If
