  some dumb congressman taking a loaded glock pistol onto an aircraft.. a guy was just jailed for 9 months in the uk for arriving at heathrow (from washington dulles) with amminution in his jacket.

  but hey, he wasn't a congressman ... just a black guy.

  I think maybe the problem with this thread lays here?

  Quote from the website linked.

  after authorities found a loaded gun in his bag at a screening checkpoint,

  Simon then wrote

  Some dumb congressman taking a loaded Glock pistol onto an aircraft.

  Flash then wrote

  sneaking a gun on board!

  Simon then concludes

  and this is just giving people a 'let off' for carrying weapons onto planes

  So in just a few posts, we have a report that a congressman was found to be carrying a gun in his luggage at a screening checkpoint, being stated by two posters that he carried the gun onto the plane.

  A little careless typing perhaps?

  BTW, I do agree that he should have been jailed, the law is (or should be) the LAW, for EVERYONE.

  All Bold mine.

  i think humour is a good way to establish what wavelength a person is on, what do you think?

  It has been my experience that sarcasm is mostly used to belittle the person being spoken (written) to.

  A stranger who uses sarcasm toward me is asking to get to know me???my angry side that is.

  However, when a friendship is already established, then sarcasm becomes more of a ?guys together? thing.

  Bottom line I suppose is that people have to earn the right to be sarcastic toward each other, based on knowledge of each other, IMO.

  3 quotes about masterbation, blood and birthdays:

  true, the words "masturbation" and "self-abuse" are not in the bible.

  the mosaic law speaks of "emission of semen," but as bible commentators point out, the reference is to involuntary nocturnal emissions, not self-induced ejaculations.

  So, as the precedent is set, it is ok to smoke cigarettes?

  After all, god gave Adam All the plants of the earth for his use, and, according to the precedent, taking the tobacco plant in as smoke, is just ?feeding? off the plant.

  Same with cannabis I suppose, another plant.

  a former member and longtime critic of the church of scientology has been ordered by a marin county judge to pay the church $500,000 for speaking out against the controversial religious movement.

  superior court judge lynn duryee issued that order in a breach-of- contract lawsuit against scientology defector gerald armstrong.

  There is something very wrong with a church that is using the law to stop its members/exmembers talking about it.

  i presented that document to an elder from our hall... he called and told me exactly what i expected they would say (library card deal).

  so i wrote the un and got a letter back saying they were totally seperate and so forth, and fwd'd it to the same elder.

  he told me at the meeting that night that he called again and got in touch with someone who knew something.
