What?

I want it to be an anagram, since it has Elon in it. Never figured out a great one.

Elon’s brim? Mr Elon sib?

Miles Bron --> Mr Elon is B?

Definitely include the term “patriot games” in any web search to hone in on the right results.

To be fair, Sean Bean was in a splinter group of the IRA, so not technically even N Ireland Sinn Fein.

Can I quote that when people say “bOtH sIDEs” is a straw man and no one actually argues it?

I know that Wien has a long history with Turkish invasion, but you appear to be skirting the line for Islamophobia or just general Xenophobia. I’d rather not have you defending my comments here, as I think it muddies the water.

It’s because passengers (mostly) use transportation to get somewhere, not to waste time. The benefit is the distance traveled, and the risk is death. If I had the option to travel to a city 500 miles away by bus or by plane, I would want to fairly compare my chances of dying by one method vs the other

I wouldn’t want to find out if traveling 1.5 hours by bus or 1.5 hours by plane was riskier. That would be apples and oranges. The bus trip might only take me 30 miles, while the plane trip would take me 500.

Yeah, seems like they would not be welcome there regardless. Ever since Sean Bean caused all that trouble for President H. Ford.

Much like Christian behavior has been modified over the centuries due to constraints from society, I think Muslim behavior has been modified in many nations. There is enough open to interpretation in holy books that you can still be “devoted” and not push for enforcement. Even some majority-Muslim countries that have strict rules for Muslims do not enforce the same rules on people of other faiths.

So while I appreciate that the “Islamophobia” accusation doesn’t hold water, I think you cast too wide a net even on devout Muslims.

Depending on the population of your state, your senators could have far, far more constituents that they represent than your Congressperson.

He went full Nazi, man. Never go full Nazi.

Not the case. I understand that the vast majority of Muslims have no desire to murder infidels or apostates. However, it would be ignorant to deny that there are extremist groups who use the religion to justify violence against Christians, Jews, Druze, Hindus, and other Muslim sect. Maybe their leaders are just using religion as a tool for their political aims, but probably some of them are ardent believers too.

What’s your personal stance on that?

Edit: Argh. I now know what it would feel like to be retweeted by Steve Bannon.

The rabies infection numbers won’t be high if we don’t report on them.

I was going to make a poor taste joke that obviously this is a lie by the IDF, since there seems to be a cadre of posters here who can’t accept that any bad behavior by a person in the name of Islam is [anything other than] just Western or Zionist propaganda.

I see others have beat me to the idea.

Edited after technocrit’s response because a re-read showed my meaning was reversed.

Americans’ confidence in air travel falls after string of plane crashes, poll shows

deleted by creator

There were no passenger deaths for the derailment in East Palestine.

An aside from the main point here, but I haven’t read much about the Toronto Pearson crash. Does it have anything to do with US air control or regulations (like plane maintenance) or is it just being lumped it?

Thank you! I tried to make the same point in the comments of another recent article. This isn’t a reason to avoid air travel (yet).

However, it is a reason to criticize the Trump administration, and they deserve blame for the excess deaths under their watch. We should be hammering home the point that cutting regulation and oversight will nilly comes with life and death consequences. If it isn’t lack of FAA funding that kills you, it could be cuts to NIH, leaving WHO, turning a blind eye to corruption (which compromises quality - ask Russia), etc.
