Got to admit I envy him. He's 72 and still sharp enough to fly a plane. Funny that he chose to fly a machine that is probably older than him. I never fly things made after I was born, just a rule I live by - H. F.  Well, there is nothing that would stop him from flying planes even if he is at 72 years of age Actually, medical examinations are taken at various frequencies, depending upon the age and the license qualification of the person, designed to ensure that they have no problems that would interfere with their ability to fly safely. |

it would be nice to have organized communities look after each other. but most people don't have that kind of mindset. they are conditioned to accept and rely on the police. i don't think the government would ever allow communities to govern themselves so your options are alone or with them so i chose alone.
Of course current political and corporate structures would never allow you to have control over your own destiny. The want more power, not less. They want your life in their hands, from 'cradle to grave'. |

Why do you hate the police?
You'd prefer to go it alone against crime rather than have the police in your corner? It would be ironic if you live in a really safe neighborhood (it's easy to "hate the police" when you live in a safe place.)
Why alone? Think about it. Are there more criminals than decent people? No, I think not. We don't need police to defend us against criminals and injustice. It sounds crazy, I know, since it would mean people would actually have to grow a little backbone, take responsibility and care for one another. Then again, if any of that were possible, this world would already be a better place. So, just forget I said anything, I guess. >.> |

An introvert, would not necessarily need to make "social connections" to be happy. Also, obviously if you are a sociopath, then "social connections" are NOT required for happiness, other than making a "connection" with intent to do harm that is.  |

The disappearance of the 15-year-old in December prompted Scotland Yard’s counter-terrorism command to investigate. Pupils were spoken to and seven students were identified as potential friends of the missing girl. Among them were Kadiza, Amira and Shamima although, at that stage, police had found no reason to suspect they were in danger of being radicalised.
Police accept that they wrote letters to the parents saying their children had been friends with the pupil who had gone abroad and asking for permission to take a formal statement. But instead of delivering the letters directly to the parents, police handed them on 5 February to the girls themselves, who hid them in their school textbooks in their bedrooms. The families only found the letters after the girls left on 17 February. Everything about this story sounds fishy. It makes no sense whatsoever that the police wrote these letters for the parents, yet gave them to these underage girls instead, who (to anyone with half a brain) would very predictably fail to pass them along. Just the simple fact that the police chose to use letters instead of contacting the parents directly (which I'm fairly certain goes against regular protocol), never mind having them delivered in this fashion, is suspect. <Edit> It's my guess the authorities were hoping for something like this to happen, so they could further their agenda, yet they didn't want it to seem like they did nothing to prevent it in the meanwhile.

Wants a bath obviously. Gentle cycle.
LOL. You beat me to it. My wife is so absent minded, I've actually told her to check the washer and dryer for cats before she starts them. @OP, It's normal for cats to find hiding places. It's their nature. simpler close the gate once you have put clothes in... doesn't need "fresh air"... or put your stuff at once, from a storage of dirty clothes, close, on, gone. safe cat, happy life. Yeah. I've told her this too, but she still often leaves the machines open and "multitasks" giving plenty of time for one to crawl in unnoticed. If she at least checked the machine before closing it, it wouldn't be half bad, but she doesn't even do that. Then she'll often say to me later, "Can you count the cats to make sure one isn't in the machine?" *facepalm*  |

Glad he's alright.   |

Yup. If you plan on washing your pussy, you should start when it's young, otherwise you'll get shredded. Running water is a bad idea, try to make the experience as calm and relaxing as possible. |

I just wanted to thank for the 'After Earth' suggestions from some people. I avoided it originally due to Will Smith, but it was a good story. Anyone who recommend that movie and 'The Last Airbender', please list some more. Thank you.
LOL. Those were both awful. I guess if you like really bad films, you should just go ahead and watch all the other ones listed in this thread. |

Of the John Woo films I saw, 'The Replacement Killers' and 'Bulletproof Monk' were pretty good, both of which starred Chow Yun‑Fat who I really like. A couple more great Chow Yun‑Fat films I would recommend watching are 'The Corruptor' and 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'. ( There's more, but I don't want to make this post all about him.) Regarding the other Woo films I saw, 'Broken Arrow' was alright, but I didn't really care for 'Hard Target', 'Paycheck', 'Face/Off' or 'Mission Impossible II'. Although the original 'Mission Impossible', directed by Brian De Palma, was great. |

My wife did not mention this to me and she just recently flew to China and back.  *Goes and asks wife if she noticed it.* She never noticed it. That doesn't surprise me at all though. :/ |
