Dear passengers. The loss of our engine and part of the wings allows us to fly way more economically.

a man making eyes at two passengers three seats ahead whilst fiddling with an electronic device with a red button.  you tell the stewardess and she convinces the other stewardessess and stewards that you are crazy and ask you where you got your information.  so you wait for the guy to go to sleep - to steal the device to look at it.  only to find out that it is a large watch.  then, as the passengers are leaving an announcement is made, 'will (your name) stay on the plane to be searched.'

ok.  loss of engine and part of wing is my choice.  that would be bad news probably.

sorry.  i was trying to make a joke out of the watch and not the man.  if he didn't do anything, why is it prejudiced.  i agree turning a  person in for having a watch is really stupid, but which is worse - losing a plane load of people or staying awake during a flight?  people are paranoid these days.  of course, losses are magnified each day when people mistake each other for something they're not.  that was my point.  not that the man had a turban on. 

in fact, if you look at my other thread on women wearing veils, you'll see that i didn't really diss that.

NOW, if you take the turban idea in general - it just to relates how men and women operate in any society.  the turban is a little easier to see out of than a veil.  of course, if a man is ugly there is nothing you can do to cover his face.  now, how prejudiced is that?  if you are about to fall over from an ugly man and a beautiful woman is covered up. 

what do you say to that siberian?  and ps  why are you being so mean?

did you say 'minuets?' 

that is probably the truest expression of 'only a moment in time.'  we tend to look at death in our society as such a horrible final thing.  of course, no one wants it - but it is a way to express what you hold dear.  when you call your family - it is expressing that you wish to be with them - but cannot and will never again. 

of course, the same goes for arabic families that have been torn by war.  if we ever have peace on this world again, it will be because people learn to love one another as themselves.  we don't have any trouble loving ourselves.

ok heres a joke:

a transatlantic flight going from UK to US. pilot announces, "ladies and gentlemen, due to an engine failure the plane is going to crash." Richard Branson stands up and says "lets give the kids the parachutes, get them off first". Bill gates says "F**k the children", Gary Glitter says "have we got time?".
