*screams*

Got this off of [livejournal.com profile] mock_the_stupid.

I love how they bother to tell us that the writing was Farsi. Does it matter? This is NOT a good reason to stop a flight! If a death threat had been written in French, nobody would care, but write something innocuous in "that weird squiggle writing" and you stop an entire damn flight. Hope the people responsible lose their jobs over this. I'd feel a lot safer flying if they did.

Edit: And out come the trolls. Yay!

Oddly, everything I said in response was true. Except maybe the bit about Steven. He *said* he (and his whatever-you-call it, group of people he was training with) was sent straight down to help with rescue efforts, but I have no way of knowing if this is true or not. *shrugs*

Which woman? It says that the writing was discovered by a passenger.

People are so damned terrified these days. It makes me sad. And, I will say it again: This is why Bush will be our next President too.

That does scare me. What if I had dropped my Arabic homework in an airplane???

I want to learn Farsi! From what I've heard (direct from an Iranian, ooh, he was cool!) I have the right type of accent to pull it off too.

The troll is funny yet scary--I know someone quite a lot like them. Makes you worry for mankind.

I like the part where they told you not to use profanity and not to tell them to shut up, as if you'd done either.

Ohh.. I'm dense. My excuse is that I'm allergic to something, heavens know what, and my eyes have been watering like mad for a week. It's like I'm constantly crying. *shrugs*

I hate people like that guy, though--I don't think he's a troll; I think he's a fanatic. It is a guy, right?

Bah, I couldn't help but reply to him. Mmm flame wars.
