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]

As I said before I have tried leaving threads like this, only to have it backfire on me in a future thread when some idiot brings them up "victoriously" and the regular primates posting more insulting comments and smilies with glee in approval. I arrived at the conclusion a long time ago that these things HAVE to end within their own thread, not leaving any reason for the primates to beat off on a perceived victory and validation.
I joined (and frankly still stay in) this forum only for the love of the Chiefs. That said, I have certain political and cultural beliefs (domestic or foreign) that don't sit well with certain close-minded posters here. You should have read the threads when Bush was preparing to attack Iraq. The abuse I got then was way more than I am getting now. But I withstood it and many of those former abusers have now seen the points I was trying to make and changed their position. Some of those have even gone on to graciously extend apologies to me via PMs and reps. So historically I have been targeted even in non-political threads. It hasn't killed me yet only made me stronger.
I will stay in this thread until I'm satisfied that idiots are bored and gone to other playgrounds or until some mod locks it up. Half of these idiots I won't even remember and will probably agree with and rep over a football post. That's how insignificant these folks are. I have even repped Donger, Iowanian on many occasions, bypassing personal clashes. What does that tell you? Hope you understand.
It seems like those with with a liberal stance always accuse anyone that doesn't agree with them of being closed minded. Why are you so sure that you aren't the closed minded one? [Reply]

I agree I should have chewed the food for them so they could swallow it. I believe I have already addressed that in a previous post though.

I disagree. Part of what we call "intelligence" compels us to do analytic thinking and arriving at the possibility that someone's wording, as imprecise as it may inadvertently be, could represent a scenario slightly more general than the gospel, one track, comprehension that sparks in one's brain. The unintelligent among us is the one who unthinkingly gets himself off on insulting or belittling others based on the said one track mind. It never fails to amaze me how many people think in such limited parameters.

Thank you. When one allows himself to understand one understands. The problem with the rest is they are too blinded by their personal biases to allow themselves to think and understand.

I have said that already. But here, I'll say it in your words:

I did not say that. But go ahead post the the way those voices in your head translate my posts. [Reply]

Last time we went we unloaded everything on an old fridge til it was so full of holes it was unrecognizable, 3/4 of it was gone. That's what I picture Frankie looking like in this thread.
You would. But that's because your ass hurts from before. [Reply]

No tell me about it. How does piss in your coffee taste?
I drank my own tea BTW. Nice try. [Reply]

Only a deficient brain like yours read what I said as "Hating America." I don't hate America. I love it. But I'm observant and realistic and you are an ideologue with your head up your ass. [Reply]

Oh I didn't know posts/insults had a shelf life. Silly me. [Reply]
To be beaten any more severely, you'd have to be buried up to your neck and have 200 villagers hurl softball sized stones at your cranium until it looked like an old melon stepped on by a cow.
Funny, I don't feel beaten in the least. In fact I feel totally on top of you. [Reply]
