Sometimes you have to wonder

And check out this article from Asheville, NC. “Maya Leoni, who is held by Angela Perez, cries as her mother, A.J. Leoni, pours the last of her drink into the receptacle while in line for the security checkpoint at the Asheville Regional Airport.”POUR IT INTO A RECEPTACLE? Don’t you think that some of these potentially explosive liquids might be more dangerous when, I don’t know, mixed in a big vat in the middle of an airport?Christ, why don’t they just have people put their liquids into a big bonfire?

Boing Boing: If the liquid could be explosive, why are you dumping it in a crowd?

Absolute Stance

This has been annoying me immensely lately. I have gotten into quite a few arguments with people, particularly to do with the Middle east. Mainly because people seem utterly unable to comprehend that no one is right.
The debate, and it seems a trend on lot of issues, is so utterly polarised, people are so sure their stance is the right one and that there is no possibility of the other side having any valid points.

So you get people who are otherwise rational saying things like I’m 100% behind Israel … anyone who is 100% behind a country is either a moron or delusional.
The only thing im ever 100% sure about is that fanatics and zealots on either side are 100% arsehats
