Folks, the OP of this thread is reporting good news, and none of the negativity posted in this thread can undo that good news.

You got what you asked for..... no surprise there

So you think so little of people that you would wish something like that for them. And you do look young, therefore rather rash in your conclusions, but have you ever really considered the consequences?

Do you not pay attention to the current affairs of this world? While your little banter may sound hip, it isn't.

Travelers are reporting threatening messages coming from the loudspeakers of the Travel Security Administration. The TSA has been broadcasting warnings that people will be arrested for making jokes in the presence of the infamous federal checkpoint agents. Policestateusa.com has obtained exclusive audio of the threats.

Matt Miller said on the morning of September 20th, during his return trip from Colorado to Florida, he spent a few hours in Houston waiting for a connecting flight. Sitting at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport, he repeatedly heard a TSA audio message on the intercom that disturbed him.

...You are also reminded that any inappropriate remarks or jokes concerning security may result in your arrest.

Miller documented the message with an audio recording via his cell phone and sent it to us.


This wasn't the first report of threatening messages coming from the TSA. In June, musician Jordan Page reported similar threats. "Any comments or jokes about security may lead to your immediate arrest," he shared with his Facebook fans while traveling through Houston. Page is known for his outspoken views on liberty and his hit song by the same name.

The TSA has never been bashful about violating people's rights. The agency's entire job description is to search travelers without probable cause or a warrant. Their intrusive searches, abusive treatment of travelers, ineptitude, and penchant for stealing have made them a source of disdain and a butt of jokes since the TSA's inception in 2002.

But be careful about what you say. Because now they violate your 1st amendment, too.

Think twice about asking the blueshirts to buy you dinner before they rub your genitals. Requesting lubricant may be a mistake. Mocking their stupid costumes, low intellect, and general disdain for human dignity may get you arrested.

So stand straight in line, do as you're told, forget about your freedom, and keep your comments to yourself. Obey the lautsprecher.

The head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, Maj.-
Gen. Muhammad Ali Jafari, threatened the US with a
strong military response after American Secretary of
State John Kerry said a military option to counter the
country’s nuclear drive was “ready.”
“You could never understand the extent of the
invasive capacity of the Islamic Republic of Iran,”
Jafari said Saturday according to Iran’s Fars News
Agency.
“Mr. Kerry must know that direct battle with the US
is the biggest dream of pious and revolutionary people
across the world. Your threats offer our revolutionary
people the best opportunity,” he said.

“Obviously, the Americans have no such power (to
launch an attack on Iran). If they did, they would
not have been expelled from Iraq and Afghanistan in
such a totally weakened state,” Velayati said.

there are no absolutes,, noone here is claiming there is

but not being able to 'solve' world hunger , is vastly different from not being able to feed MORE of the starving

not being able to make everyone 'financially equal' is also vastly different from not being able to contribute to a society where more people have financial STABILITY,,,,

oh, well, there we have it

we can shut mingle down

any issue that is part of 'life' (which by definition every issue that exists is) we should just 'get used to'

no need for discussions or opinions on ANYTHING anymore
no need to promote progress or change or ideas to achieve it,,

that's just THE WAY IT IS

well, the threat of being hunted and killed was yesterdays concern

now the threat of being left to die without adequate food or safehaven is,,,

So who believes that dragons exist? How so, what kind, where? Any random thoughts about them and their existence.

I believe they exist and they can be seen but not in a traditional sense. I am a spiritual person and I believe that they influence and appear in my life when it is necessary.

Who wants to share?

My daddy did payroll for in one area for John Rockefeller.

Low pay to the workers, not giving them a due share of the sales, certainly helped Mr. Rockefeller. . . . . You know, kind of like slavery.

A free and open world depends on a free and open Internet. Governments alone, working behind closed doors, should not direct its future. The billions of people around the globe who use the Internet should have a voice.“

So was Dr. Jonathan Reeds' experience fact or fiction/hoax?

he's actually telling the truth on this... maybe

I don't drink tea or coffee, so you're wrong! Half your nation need their caffeine fix also, as all you hear about is coffee, coffee, coffee? A horrible drink! Now give me an ice cold pint of Bud, or Stella Artois, after I finish work and now we're talking? You have to try Irn Bru though? Brilliant!

The solution of changing the channel may be a passive one. But it is effective. If the show isn't very popular then it gets taken off the air.

I personally find most of these reality shows annoying and don't watch them anyway because it's obvious they are fake reality based on scripts or staging.

Like I watched one episode of Dog and I think it was one of the first episodes. It was so stupid. He was acting like he was sneaking up on some guy on a beach. No trees and no bushes to hide behind. But somehow it made sense for him to creep along with a camera crew to catch the criminal. I don't know how anyone thought that made sense and I haven't watched another episode since.
