  • I’m not defending it, but how is this different than targeted strikes with gps guided weapons, including the katanabomb? That also has collateral damage.

    One can suggest the west is engaged in terrorism in that way too, and I personally believe such strikes only create more terrorists.

    But clearly most of the global community agrees with certain targeted strikes on terrorists. This is just a particular flavor of it, and is another shitty feature of the modern “war on terror”.

    Another comment said that this is just going to further the violence for another decade (among the other shit Israel is up to) and I agree that the conflict IS the point.

    It fucking sucks.












  • Reminder that he could be taking about his own business too, with an onboard 2 drink max.

    Though I agree he’s taking about the airport too.

    He’s clearly highlighting that the system isn’t working. Anyone who flies regularly can see evidence of that.

    Don’t get me wrong, I like to drink, and even be drunk on occasion. But being so on group transit is not cool, and being so plus being aggressive towards staff or other travelers should come with a trip to the no fly list. I can understand why folks in the industry would want change.


  • Are you suggesting two things can’t be true?

    I’m sorry dude but it’s entirely childish behavior (not you-you, the hypothetical behavior) to think that getting a run around / bad customer service permits you to get drunk and harass a flight attendant while they do their job. They didn’t fail to reimburse you, they clocked in and are trying to work their shift. How the fuck is it even in discussion that it’s ok to be rude/intimidating to someone in the working class?

    Further, the other passengers also didn’t cause your booking woes, or lost luggage. Why should they be intimidated or disturbed by drunk and disorderly behavior?

    Again I’m not saying “you” do this, I’m referring to a hypothetical drunken customer, even one who has suffered all of the bad things you mentioned.

    Having an absolute shit day doesn’t permit getting drunk and impacting others




  • I hear you. I’ve felt it.

    Not trying to argue, but I can’t accept shredding personal responsibility for ingesting chemicals. People are always responsible for what they consciously and freely put in their body, and are especially still responsible for how they act afterwards. I think it’s fair to say that no matter how bad, horrifically bad, an airport experience gets, there’s never justification to get rude or belligerent with folks just trying to do their jobs.
