talk about anti-terrorism paranoia...

recently, a french student called Franck Moulet has been
arrested because of this:

as he has been in the toilets of an airplane for a long time
(because he was sick), the stewardess got worried and asked
what he was doing... as a joke, he replied "i'm just sick..
don't worry, i'm not making a bomb!".

which they didn't appreciate.

and now he risks 4 years of prison for having replied
that. o_O

i'm definitely never going to usa...

like that english woman who told the customs guy she had a
bomb as a joke, now faces 15 years in prison...

and this kind of things happen quite often even...
the responsibles for this kind of crazy so-called "justice"
should be shot.

i'm not exaggerating.

well, yes, i am exaggerating - should be put in prison.

hmm, if people saying that for joke get 15 years in prison,
how about the people not talking about it but doing it?

you can't compare...

saying this for a joke shouldn't be punished at all, even
paying a $1 dollar fee for that would be ridiculous.

( in that case, if you sneeze in public you should face 5
years of prison too... if you make a typo, $100 fee... oh
wait, it already happened, someone being fired for a typo he
made while writing something on a cake... =/ )

it's a scandalous world we live in.

people fear, and this is the way they get along with their
fear, that's all, i think, but they are overdoing, totally

the ones who fear become more frightening and dangerous than
the ones they fear...


 

offline Bob Mcbob on 2004-01-21 08:01 [#01042668]
Points: 9939 Status: Regular



but the ones who they fear are also frightening and
dangerous, and probably fear them.

what a paradox!

some students threw a cake in the face from some important
guy the day before - the terror command is researching and
the guy who threw the cake faces about 1, 2 years jail ...

English women claims to have a bomb in her rucksack, but
doesn't, and gets put in jail.

Bush claims there's WMD in Iraq, but there aren't...

'fire' in a crowded theatre

ok lets look at this realistically.

1. he had to have gotten through security and checkpoints to
get on a plane.
2. explosive material is easy to pickup. as would be the
components to construct a bomb.
3. HE DIDNT EVEN HAVE A BOMB. HE WASNT DOING IT.

AHHHH

Fuck. I understand perhaps its not something someone wants
to hear... but fuck that, people make slips, and sometimes
say inappropriate things... but last I checked, thats not
punishable by prison time.

The MOST the kid should have to do, is apologize... and even
that is pushing it.

God damn.

Oh, and about that child ID thing... its just so that the
government can get your dna, and as much about you on
record, while you're young, and can't control your personal
information.

Big brother is already on its way. Its just that the
government is doing it nice and slow (well, in some cases
not) but generally, doing it slow enough, to not shine too
much attention onto itself, and what its really doing.

bah.

yeah, but you can't compare it.

Saying "fire" in a crowded theater, is intentional, to scare
everyone, and cause a public disturbance.

This is more along the lines of the guy saying at the end of
a movie, when everyones leaving "dont everyone push to get
out the doors, its not like theres a fire or anything" and
then having people go OMG! FIRE!

ill bet the stewardess was being a total bitch knocking and
knocking on the door while he was trying to enjoy a dump.
and here persistent nagging (as if she was taking it too
seriously like there was a bomb)
so what we have here is a funny sarcastic good willed
citizen who suffers constipation.

VOTE BUSH!

i love that scene in "A fish called Wanda" where Kevin Kline
has a gun in his pocket and a metal detector at the airport
slowly approaches. then he flips the gun out of his pocket
and lobs it around the detector, walks through, and catches
his gun on the other side.
please note that this is a british airport.

yeah, i'm not defending it. i think we've gone crazie
reactionary paranoid over here.

i was just offering the rationale behind it. it's not quite
as nonsensical as people make it out to be.

re. the british girl who was arrested for saying she had a
bomb in her rucksack..

whether its an over-reaction or not - its a pretty stupid
joke to make in light of current affairs.. particularly in
america.
its not even a witty joke either. its a really obvious one
to make and, therefore, not very funny.

she even repeated the joke more than once..

take a look (she doesn't look like the sharpest of tools
either)

I think the people who go out of their way to enforce these
"rules" should be shot. Seriously, they terrorize the
country more than any foreigner. I literally think they
should be put to death. All this code orange nonsense is
ridiculous.

A member of the Thai Interreligious Network for Peace,
Yongyut Buranacharoenkit, called the United States the
"biggest bully."

"There should be none of this separation of countries that
are dangerous and those that are not, definitions that the
United States created itself," he said. "I think no matter
whose hands these weapons are in, they are dangerous."
