My point is this: your attempts at humor are too obvious and lack any subtly or actual humor.

Thats not a point, thats an opinion. And thats why good wholesome American Values will always overcome evils of communism. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!

Yeah, we know.

Stop being pedantic.

And I'm not a Communist.

Not as to defend anyone here, but, if you DID open the windows during an airplane fire, I would suspect it would help slow the fire due to the whole "decompression from lower outer air pressure" thing. Of course, explosive decompression might (or might not) be a concern, I'm no engineer. Oxygen could be facilitated by those fancy little masks that drop down in the case of an emergency, and theoretically everyone could have a uncomfortable, but survivable trip.

That doesn't change the fact that the reasoning given in the article is pants on head backwards.

I do believe at one time you stated you were one. Come on, you can admit to that Che Tshirt you have in the closet. Its ok. Give in to your hatred young padiwon, and your journey to the dark side will be complete.

Ideologically I'm a socialist, although even that's more nuanced and it's far easier to say what I'm against than what I'm for.

The only political organization I belong to is the IWW.

I am not a member of the Communist Party, so I am not a Communist.

He said "actual socialist."
I wasn't being funny Hammer, just putting the truth into words.

I think it's just a fact that you need to be prepared to live with Frazz that everyone under the age of about 30 has a Che Guevara tshirt in their closet. We also all have Tubthumper on vinyl, and we're currently moving to occupy your lawn.

That's a shame, I was giving you a chance to hide behind a bad attempt at humor instead of you merely being petty and stupid.

Oh, then I stand corrected. Hammer is not a communist. He's a socialist. This is strange. I've seen actual socialists with a sense of humor, or have I????

I don't have a Che T-shirt... what did I miss?

Uh... Tubthumper! (at loss for words...)

I have noticed that I see Che shirts LESS in the last 10 years but...
Tubthumper as in Chumbawumba?

God, I need that on a tshirt. It'll go so good next to Che.

Yeah. They fit in that "ebil socialist kid" stereotype about as much as the Che shirt does.

If you want to occupy my lawn I suggest you ask Bob the squirrel. He's awfully protective of his favorite trees. Loves dem acorns he does.

PLEASE REFRAIN FROM PERSONAL ATTACKS

YOUR POST WAS NOT FUNNY=OK

I'll just admit I don't get it, I loved tub thumper when it came out although it's pretty tedious to me now.
I like the Che shirt that says "duping edgy youths since 19--" or something like that. On the occasions when I felt like being obnoxious and asking someone if the knew who Che was: literally only one kid; a girl if it matters, knew whi he was and what he had done. I may not have liked her politics but at least she knew what she was talking about.

You'd probably remember this better:



They were a pretty popular (and hardline pinko socialist) band from the 90s.

Not sure how I found this thread, but hats off to you Mr. Frazzled. At the very least, I'm entertained.

No American would say Aeroplane. It's an Airplane. This was clearly a body double.

And to think someone thought it was a good idea to make him a mod at one time...

I'm not saying Mitt Romney IS a pod person from outer space, but if he's not, why doesn't he defend himself from these allegations?

He should be able to show us a birth certificate, right?

Getting violently sucked out of an airplane window at 35,000 feet would prevent you from being burned alive, which may or may not be better.

Sounds like lefty psuedo-science to keep airplane innovators down through regulation.

Well, okay, maybe not LITERALLY the window you've been staring out of for the first half of the flight, but I would implementation of a slow-blow vent wouldn't be impossible.

The more important question to ask is whether fires on airplanes are actually a common occurrence, and whether or not we have adequate means of controlling such things when they occur

The REAL question is can we get windows to roll down so that our Air Marshals can shoot any flying gremlins that try to damage the plane's engine mid-flight.

I wonder what Romney's stance on gremlins will be now that the Democrats have adopted their fierce pro-gremlin platform, seeking equal rights for monsters -ehrm, that is, "supernaturally abled beings", such as doppelgangers, gremlins, and poltergeists.
