I was reading this article on people’s reaction to arming pilots, and it’s a good illustration of how some people turn into complete retards when guns are part of the issue. The first guy worries that, when terrorists are on the plane trying to kill everyone, that the pilot might miss. Oh no, can’t keep everyone from being killed because someone might get killed. Later in the article, a woman wonders what happens if the pilots are drinking. Does she feel safe flying with unarmed, drunk pilots? A pilot can already crash the plane and kill everyone, so giving him a gun doesn’t make him (or her, for you feminists out there) any more of a danger to the passengers. Just to the terrorists.

I just saw O’Riley interview the atheist guy who brought the pledge, and it seems like every atheist spokesperson I see on TV is really nervous looking and fast talking. But, you have to be pretty messed up to be an atheist. That’s an irrational faith (because you can’t prove it) in that there is no God and that no matter what life you live you are doomed to eternal nothingness. Why would you choose to have a faith like that (and it has to be a choice, because you can’t be inspired to that view unless there’s an atheist god to inspire you, which doesn’t make any sense)? Anyway, I just hate this argument that the government taking a position that there is a God is forcing the view on everyone. The government also takes the position that racism is wrong and that the earth is round, but people in the U.S. are still allowed to have racist beliefs and belive the world is flat. And, just like the atheist, they’re dumbasses.

I was for arming pilots as soon as I heard about it, but now that Sen. Barbara Boxer is for it, I wonder if it’s some sort of trick. Think! Think! Can arming pilots be used for evil instead of good…

I was looking through the CIA World Factbook, laughing at how pathetic all other countries are compared to the U.S., and I noticed something odd. The first entry under ‘T’ is “Taiwan entry follows Zimbabwe”. You scroll down, and there sits the link for Taiwan all alone, outside of the alphabetical listing. I thought at first maybe this is because Taiwan was the only “non-country” on the listing, but their were other listing within the alphabetical lists that weren’t really countries like Hong Kong, the World, and France. It just seemed odd that Taiwan was singled out from everyone else like that. Maybe its just to make sure China doesn’t think we believe Taiwan to be separate country, but maybe I’m just reading too much into this.

Amensty International finally came out today against Palestian murder-suicide bombings (that’s what I call ’em). Is there actually some universe where these people have credibility. I guess they were too busy complaining about child murderers being excuted in the U.S. to complain about the children being murdered. Support for the bombings remains nearly 70% in Palestine. I don’t even care what Israel is doing to them; if these people don’t understand that it is wrong to target and blow up a nine-year-old girl, then they aren’t being oppressed enough in my book. Obviously, they can’t be reasoned with like adults, so I say Israel should treat them like children. They should force all the Palestians to sit in the corner for a couple hours thinking about why what they have been supporting is wrong. After that, they must all write one hundred word essays on why murder is bad. All answers will then be graded on a bell curve. The top five percent of scorers will be leaders of the new goverment, the middle ninety percent will be set back to their business, and the bottom five percent immediately executed. Finally, in celebration of the new government, Arafat will be shot out of a cannon.

I’m in Florida and I’ve just started seeing ads for flying lesson on TV which I hadn’t seen before. I hope its a sting operation.

Most money has trace amounts of cocaine on it, according to snopes.com. Maybe money can make you happy.

The nations teachers should applaud Jesse Jackson for his calling President Bush “unliterate.” If they ever need to explain irony to their students, they’ll never find another example so succinct.

A fossil skull, between, six and seven million years of age has been found with human and apes characteristics. Sounds a bit like the missing link to me. I know a lot of people don’t believe in evolution, but I just don’t buy it that God would make people suddenly appear out of nothing. That seems lazy. The digits of pi go on forever, which shows God tried really hard to make this universe fit together in a sensible way, so I don’t think He would skimp on giving people a backstory.

I’m watching the model Kathy Ireland on Hannity and Colmes, and she just said, “There is one issue I’m very liberal on; I’m very liberal on protecting the rights of the unborn.” That turned me on more than if she came out wearing a bikini.

NPR has apologized for saying a Christian group might be responsible for the anthrax attacks. I guess for the fantasy world these liberals live in to not implode on itself, they needed Christian terrorists to counter-balance the Islamic ones. Why does our tax dollars go for crap like this and PBS? If we’re going to have public broadcasting, it should show case stuff our government does do right, like live feed of terrorists getting shot. Then people might actually watch it, too.

I’m sure you’ve heard by now about the alleged police brutality in Inglewood, CA. Now both sides have put out their stories, and I’m sure we’re not going to hear the end of this for a while. What I don’t understand is why it seems like every started freaking out about this before much details were. The “victim” is a teenager, for pete’s sake, and anyone who’s ever encounter a teenager knows that they all have done at least something deserving a whomping.

The bill to arm pilots has just passed the house, which is good because all the arguments against arming pilots were idiotic. I mean, you have a situation where terrorists are trying to kill everybody and F-16’s are going to shoot the plane out of the sky and people are worried that the pilot might then put a tiny hole in the plane or graze a stewardess? Sen. Fritz Hollings, who’s an ass, is probably going to keep this from a vote in the Senate, though. If only the pilots had guns I bet he wouldn’t dis’ them like that.

The U.S. Army is now making computer games for free download. The military was always the only part of the federal government I didn’t mind my tax money going to because they kill evil foreigners, but now I get video games out of the deal. Kick ass!

Have you heard about how the WWF has come out and said that we only have until 2050 before we use up the earth’s resources? I haven’t watched the WWF for a while, so I have no clue where this comes from, but my bet is that their science is as phony as their wrestling. I’d find out more, but the best parts of their study is only on pay perview.
