To make planes safer, sturdier and more leak proof, there should be no windows in the main fuselage at all. Hang modern flat screen TVs, 18" x 18"s or even 24" x 24"s to replace the windows. Two panoramic cameras, left and right to give you a view and it's problem solved. And price as apposed to safety, think about it. Don't want to watch the world rush by? Instead of drawing the shade, just turn the TV off.

If you read the following link you will have a much better idea why aircraft builders design as they do.http://www.bigsiteofamazingfacts.com/why-do-airplanes-have-such-small-windows-and-why-are-the-tiny-windows-on-airliners-positioned-so-low

Might Mitts remark be more idiotic than someone stating: "You didn't build that"?

I know your remark was meant as a bit of subtle humor, but a man of your intellect should not lower himself to such a level. I find it rather disturbing that a well spoken but totally misguided European would refer to Mitt Romney as a complete idiot, since he has done so well professionally. Could he have possibly been speaking of a plane after it has crashed? But after most crashes it probably wouldn't matter much which way the window opens, would it?

Since I am an agnostic Alan, you may not wish to hear my inquiry at all. But then, I’m not much of a scientist either. So, let’s just say for instance that man continues advocating: “There is no God”, until all religious belief is stamped out. What then? Do we simply continue striving for perfection in a world without an eventual goal? On the other hand, “What if there is a Supreme Entity, or God ”? But after pondering whether knowledge without direction is wise, He, Her or It; decides to atomize all life forms throughout the universe. Oh S--t! What then?

The Killing of innocence, whether it be people, animal or vegetable done indiscriminately, is a disgrace to any civilized nation. Catch phrases such as, "extra-judicial killings" and collateral damage are simply ways of lumping many situations together making the question hard, if not impossible to answer. To start with, just what is extra-judicial killings or collateral damage? To keep on topic, let us say that a vice squad goes to a private home suspected of dealings drugs. The police knock but no one answers. What should they do, just go away? No! They have a search warrant, so they kick the door open only to find the house not empty but with five armed felons waiting. Gun fire erupts and bullets beging to fly. In another room of the house a woman is lying in bed with an infant. A bullet goes through the wall during the fight, striking her and the infant, killing them instantly. Is this extra-judicial killing and collateral damage even though none of the combatents get a scratch. Who or what is to blame? And Domestic surveilance? I glance out my window to see a person pacing up and down in front of my home. Heck! It's just my neighbor from down the street. We don't talk much, but his pacing makes him looks troubled and me uneasy. I wonder what his problem is? What the hell, is that a hatchet in his hand? Holy shit! He's walking up the steps to my front door. No! He sees me at the window and is raising the hatchet. Sure glad I keep that 44 mag. in the umbrella stand. He smashes the window and steps in. When the cops come I try explaining what happened, but they don't want to hear a thing until they get me to the station. Somehow I will eventually have to tell Cora, his wife. And the detainees? They are terrorist and represent no country. It may sound cruel, but I'd chain them together, drop them in Gitmo Bay and let them swim for it. Much better that than being beheaded like Pearle or burned to death and hung from a bridge. Or just plain murdered, like those four embassy workers had done to them a few days ago. Old Teddy Roosevelt said it best when he advocated, "Speak softly, but carry a big stick". Pop always stressed one thing to me. Son, if you go looking for trouble, someone will make damned sure you find it.

Had nothing to do with Obama. I just made a mistake with the time frames. Obama wasn't even in office when all of this was happening. He wasn't sworn in until 2009, right?

You know better than that.

Moon, I don't hate Obama because of his ethnic heritage whether it be, green, white, black, yellow, or an alien from Mars. But I despise everything he has tried to do politically to save us from the: "Stupid Republicans". Of course I didn't mean that! Don't ask me why I disagree as I do with this administration, because I can't keep things in mind as some of you can do. Even explaining the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, I knew the time frames were not correct, but thinking of the manpower used instead. My gut feeling is that if Obama gets another four years in office, we may never know this country again as it has been for the past 200 years. I'll just say that the Reps. suit me this time. You're right, I screwed up the time frames. Here they are in all of their "GORY" Afghanistan http://www.factmonster.com/ipka/A0107264.html Iraq and Afghanistan http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/R40682.pdf Page 8

What lies Moon? When I watch that left wing nut case on the Young Turks, Lions or what ever, to including that blathering, blithering idiot (Mr. Ed) Shultz, I actually want to puke. Talk about lying, neither of those guys know the truth. The shame of it is that you guys have chased every conservative or religious person from this forum except me. I will shortly be gone too because I can't stand the total bias shown for that waffling liar we now have in office. But if the cobwebs of ignorance can be shaken out of just a few of the voting public's head, he willl also be gone, come Nov. 6. No mixed ticket this time Moon, It will be "Straight Republican".

What is this we thing? Are you afraid to speak without backup? What kind of rules do you have, only those you acknowledge? I suppose you are calling this preacher a liar as you do anyone else who opposes Obaba and your left wing leanings? If so, you have it wrong pal.

No more than I can substantiate this claim, other than the Reverend's own words.

Even with your prevailing bad manners and left wing dogmatic leanings, I'll try answering your question. During the eight years Bush was in office many unfortunate things happened. After only a few months as president, some fanatical nut cases decided we no longer needed the pentagon, trade center and quite possibly our capitol. It took the Bush crowd some time and fancy dancing to eventually figure out what was happening. But after figuring out where the attacks came from, our military went after them. Now Clinton had left America pretty solvent when his term was up, so we had plenty of cash on hand to pursue the bad guys with, only to find out after some chasing that there were more of them than just a few airplane highjackers. "We had wars on our hands". Anyway, businesses didn't suffer that much. As a matter of fact, most actually making wads of money that the Bush crew spent like a bunch of drunken G.I.s on leave in Paris. But then we ("somehow"?) found out that Saddam Hussain was still pissed at us for throwing his ass out of Kuait and was supposedly building a nuclear bomb plus having a play pen filled with WOMD. Well, since we can't find ben Ladin we may as well go after this nut Hussain. The cost is great and some of our guys didn't make it, but our military put his bad boys to flight. As we were beginning to clear that shit up in Iraq, we find that ben Ladin is hiding in Afghanistan. Well! Let's go kick some ass. So we more or less invade Afghanistan, with most of the people's blessing. By the way, same thing happened in Iraq. Well, wars costs money, but Clinton had left us well heeled. So we really go after ben Ladin big time. Since things are going so well here in the states, thanks to Clinton; large companies and even some smaller contributors to the war's effort are making mucho dinaro. I'd like to think of America at that time as being status quo. And the wars? Except for getting a bunch of our youngsters killed and maimed, the USA is making money hand over fist. And Bush is doing what any good civilized president does; leading his troops. But since all good things must come to an end and after spending 4 Trillion $ in those 8 years, Bush says, Adios and leves SENATOR OBAMA up to his ass in debt. Now, why would you think that I would think that we will need another right wing government shortly? Is there anything else I might help you with? And by the way, we will likely be in another war before the next president can be sworn into office or before Obama can start his new term.

There is a lot of crap pulled from many ass holes, but every word uttered here is Obama's and is hacked or chopped from something he has voiced. I didn't make this crap up. But you might ask how I know when Obama is lying? It's when I see his mouth move. And snopes! It's owned and operated as a left wing rag. Personally I could care less if Obama is a Muslim or not. My concern is that half this nation thinks he’s the best thing since sliced bread. Now, to me that’s scary; “By God”.

Turn it around and around and around however you want to spin it. But I despise a liar regardless of his faith or lack of faith. A Muslim running for office is no different than a Protestant, Catholic Methodist etc. But if you believe Americans will eventually bow to Sharia Law, you're full of it. That my friend is pure ignorance.

As I told you, I trust a Romney Ryan ticket much better than an Obama Biden ticket. And the following is much more explicit than I could ever explain. This is a video Sean Hannity of FOX News has been trying to show that has been consistently blocked by the Obama Administration for several weeks. But it was only a matter of time before the internet picked up on it. Yes, it may get me kicked off the forum, but these are excerpts and sound bites straight from Obamas mouth. I am not a Christian or religious person, but The United States was founded on Christian principals. The way I see it, from what I gather in this video, Obama has lied to our entire nation. http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=tCAffMSWSzY#t=28

Please show some respect for the rules of the site by answering it. And Kenya? You evidently don't know the meaning of baseless crap. You just can't use the name Kenya when it was never known as that simple name before 1963. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenya

If you think 8 years of Bush was bad, just give Obama another 4 years to get it done and all of us will lose our balls.Check this out and tell me what Obama has done right? http://obamafailedpolicies.com/ Some facts just speak for theirselves if you give them the chance.http://obamafailedpolicies.com/

The part of government I work in doesn't run this way. Creating a new billet is very hard to do. And? That's the federal reserve. What's the connection? There is no way to resolve our differences. My opinions are mine only and yours belong to you. The people of this country will be the ones who decide who steers the ship come Nov.6, not you nor I alone. While i may never agree with the directives given, I will follow and respect them. Can you do the same?

Bush 43 was thrown into hell 8 months after taking office. BUt here is what I'm terribly afraid of happening if our present leader gets another 4 years in office. Look at these links and tell me; will 88 % of Americans eventually become wards of a welfare system having only professionals, union members and government agencies acting as; keeper of the keys? Which jobs pay better, Private or Federal sector? http://money.cnn.com/2012/01/31/news/economy/federal_worker_pay/index.htm Who does things better, Private vs Public? http://www.donloper.com/business-and-entrepreneurship/government-vs-the-private-sector-who-does-things-better.html Private vs Public? http://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/private-sector.asp#axzz269UbTfGy Private vs Public? http://blog.royaltyuniverse.com/private-sector-vs-public-sector/ Another interesting tidbit! http://www.thenewamerican.com/economy/sectors/item/11344-fed-approves-first-communist-chinese-takeover-of-us-bank

Offered by who and how? The AP reported Ryan joined with other Wisconsin legislators to lobby GM to keep the plant open, but they were unsuccessful. I suppose it's something else to blame on Bush Who authorizes the purchases, Bush? And the puked up crap, I hear that expression from most all liberals trying to allow Obama to re-build our government from the ground up "ALL OVER AGAIN".Bless us Holy Mary, Mother of God.

Phi, I wish I had confidence in the democratic party as you do. I actally research many things concerning both major parties, but my biggest drawback is sorting out the lies from the truth connected with just about everything a liberal politician says. Ok! I'll sure that I will be questioned on that statement alone. Things like, where is the proof? Who would make such statements? Let me for instance use Paul Ryans comments about GM closing their manufacturing plant in Janesville, Wisconsin that make him out to be a liar. Oh! But that was a decision made by GM long before Obama came to office. Well, he was right on one account; that complex will likely stand for another 100 years, just not as a GM factory. But now that GM practically belongs to the federal government and if, just if; Obama should get reelected in November, he may re-open it under a new name: "GM, Another Obama Bail Out"? Thank goodness that FORD is still solvent.Today I'm hearing on FOX NEWS that the big unions who donated millions for Obama's 2008 campaigne hasn't donated a red cent to the current one in Charlotte, NC. Could someone tell me why the change? And yes, lets talk about the two big black $million buses for Obama's mid-west tours and the planes to fly them around in, all paid for by the middle class dupes he is trying to save. Will the Republican party get to keep these buses after they win this next election? Plus, I wonder who paid for the two week party spree on Martha's Vineyard, or the Christmas vacations in Hawaii? I won't even try tabulating the cost of either at TAX PAYERS expense. But hey! We can give them another four years of these liberal goodies if you vote right.

Believe me Jackson, 95 % of the time my statements are only thoughts. I leave justification for my ignorance to the more learned intellectuals on this forum. I hope to hang around until after the election so I can say, "I told you so". But as of now it does seem iffy. The three days I was awarded were fun after reading some the trash I see posted. Even my closest Mexican friends, all (4) of them; wondered why I got whacked as I did for my humor. But Hey! You can't please everyone. The joke is that, in my day Juarez had two fantastic bull rings, the Plaza Del Toro, or down town bull ring as it was called and the Monumental. There was no Running of the Bulls in Juarez until the drug lords decided it might become great sport. Thanks for the boost.

You have such a wonderful way with words. Mercifully I have an image to look back at me and I do understand my inadequacies. But unfortunately, you are such an intellectual that you haven't a clue as to what your shortcomings are.

Since I personally don't have the answers that you do seem to have, I suppose we both will both wait until after Nov.6 to see who will be doing all of the finger pointing, crying and teeth gnashing. I've been hosed by both parties for 80 years, but you evidently have just begun to feel the political f-c-ing.Misquoting or taking things out of context seems to be the liberal standard for getting the job done. Here is what I stated: And here is what you quoted.
