Re: Missile destroys Malaysia Airlines plane over Ukraine
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.

Re: Missile destroys Malaysia Airlines plane over Ukraine
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..

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

I'm in the same boat.

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.

That plane was nowhere it should have been.
Re: Missile destroys Malaysia Airlines plane over Ukraine
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.

Is there really so much need from outlets to keep emphasize 'low cost' airline?

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

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.

I understand not buying halal certified meats, but chocolates and vegemite??
Re: Missile destroys Malaysia Airlines plane over Ukraine
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.

Re: Missile destroys Malaysia Airlines plane over Ukraine
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??

Re: Missile destroys Malaysia Airlines plane over Ukraine
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
