the death penalty and genocide are really two different issues. but if we’re going to compare them - the nazis believed that they had been wronged by the jews (and other groups). that was their justification for every step of the pogrom and so they executed people they believed were an enemy of the state and…

yup. it seems like if they’re gonna play that game, they might as well make it a lottery system and put *everyone* on standby.

i didn’t see anyone older, but maybe i missed them.

uh no, i don’t need actual bleeding on the ground, but you should maybe read what i wrote.

yes, i agree with that and i’m sorry that was your experience. :(

totally agreed.

oh definitely. the route from chicago to upstate ny isn’t so bad. i think it actually takes the same amount of time to get from cincinnati to chicago. like, 16 hours or something?!

right. that makes sense. but come on high speed rail! we can do this, people.

thanks! i don’t want to offend anyone here. definitely military personnel do a lot of work the rest of us wouldn’t do and that should be acknowledged. but i think it’s just a PR thing in the end. do any military personnel like this attention and fanfare?

yeah, it’s kind of hard to have sympathy for those CEOs.

whoa there, who said you make the rules? i was questioning the practice, not your comment per se. you might want to take the defenses down just a notch. no one was attacking you. i think asking for a source is legit and not an attack nor something that only a journalist would or should do.

yeah, what the eff is this post? because you’re pretty much describing how people of color (not to mention LGBTQA people) are treated in prisons and jails and on the streets of america AND at places like guantanamo bay. so... yeah. agree with the sentiment that airlines treat people like garbage, but that’s not a…

i kiiiiinda feel like maybe airlines in other parts of the world actually believe that if their customers pay for a service, they should get a service, whereas over here, we believe that if customers pay for a service, they should get the bare minimum and maybe not even what they paid for and hey there, we made a…

i find it utterly ridiculous - and why isn’t it illegal?? - that someone can PAY for a seat on a plane and NOT GET THE SERVICE THEY PAID FOR IN ADVANCE.

thanks for that tip! these are really helpful for the next time i have to... gulp... fly the unfriendly skies.

that’s very helpful information! hack the mufuggin’ airlines.

yes! i would really like to see people start taking trains more and rejecting the airline industry. we would need a lot more infrastructure for this in places like the midwest, but damn, i would totally take amtrak everywhere if it didn’t take forever. i live in cincinnati. cincinnati to chicago is basically three…

yeah, i totally get this if someone is actually being threatening or harassing. but i have to wonder how many people may have heard what they wanted to hear or made something up because they were pissed they had to wait for the flight to take off. listen, when i’m flying, i don’t trust anyone. no one has my best…

omg. this all day forever.

i’m sure this will be unpopular, but is there a good reason that a member of the military needs to be escorted to their seat? was this military person disabled or unable to navigate their way down the aisle? if that’s the case, then good on the FAs. i’m all for current and former military getting what’s due to them,…
