Autistic child kicked off flight {Gadling}
Jun 25th 2008 7:43PM Iva said: "Like I suggested though...that would be "way too inconvenient" for the other passengers."
TB comments: Not only the passengers... the entire air traffic control system in the U.S. You can't just delay flights willy-nilly without having a pronounced effect... what about people with connecting flights? Missing a connection would be more than just a little inconvenient.
Iva said: "What are people with autistic kids supposed to do? Not fly?"
TB comments: Unfortunately, with this particular child, that's likely the only answer.
But wait, let me do YOUR job and post a link to something useful:

French people must stop thinking about holidays, says new minister {Gadling}
Jun 22nd 2008 10:38PM Yikes! What's with all the errors?
...I don't think the new minister will be popular in France. And that's even is she doesn't marry a former supermodel.
...One of the first things Christine Lagarde, France's first female ministry for finance and economy, said is that it is time for French people to "roll up their sleeves and stop thinking about holidays." Five weeks of vacation guaranteed by the state, to be exact....
How about:
I don't think France's new minister for finance and economy will be very popular in her country.
One of the first things that Christine Lagarde, the first woman to hold France's finance portfolio, said is that it is time for French people to "roll up their sleeves and stop thinking about holidays." Five weeks of vacation guaranteed by the state, to be exact.

Jun 18th 2008 2:45PM Blame the illegals! Immigrants are the new red menace! Gotta blame someone, anyone, instead of taking any kind of responsibility.
Thanks, Lou Dobbs.

Give your head a shake. Look at all the other countries the U.S. deals with. Look at how many are communist. Don't you think that if a country is going to take the "high road" and not do business with the red menace... that would include all communist nations.
And what has the embargo done to help the people of Cuba. Squat. All it did was empower Castro.
Your view is far too simplistic. But stay in America and keep buying those lead paint covered toys. That'll teach those evil Cubans.

Jun 18th 2008 2:19PM I think ctmason is talking about China. Which, thanks to people who shop at AMERICAN companies like Walmart, "support a regime that stifles any and all political dissent...tortures those who disobey...murders "enemies" of the regime..well the list is endless...."
I never said anything about dumb Americans, but ctmason certainly seems like a good example.
Cheers!
