GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) — Officials say a U.S. team is expected soon in the South American nation of Guyana to probe the crash of a Boeing 737 jetliner that all 163 people aboard survived.
Authorities so far have given little idea about the cause of Saturday's crash. The Caribbean Airlines plane ran off the end of a runway at Guyana's main airport and broke in two. About 30 people had to be treated at a local hospital, including the pilot.
The airline is largely owned by the government of Trinidad and Tobago and its prime minister has visited the crash site. Kamla Persad-Bissessar says she is worried that the accident will hurt tourism to the Caribbean, a region that depends heavily on the industry. [Reply]

But go ahead and call it snitching if it makes your middle-school mentality feel good.

So, it's not snitching, it's just notifying authority figures that individuals have engaged in bad behavior that the authorities may have overlooked.

I say this fully aware that such courage and display of dignity is well beyond the said bottom feeders' faculties. So I do not look forward to it. But that's where I'm at.
I had the thread created, but decided not to click the submit button. The reason for this is because we REALLY do not need another thread on this matter. Besides, a mod would probably merge it with this one anyway.
So let me just say that my original apology was sincere. I posted what I thought was the equivalent of a "your momma" joke and although I expected to get a response from you, I didn't expect you to be so greatly offended. Maybe it's a cultural difference, I don't know.
Anyway, I'm truely sorry for insulting your mother. [Reply]
