A Washington DC airport ticket agency offers some examples of 'why' the USA
is in trouble!*
1.I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman (Carol Shea-Porter) ask for an
aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the
window. (On an airplane!)
2.I got a call from a Kansas Congressman's (Moore) staffer (Howard
Bauleke), who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to explain the length
of the flight and the passport information, and then he interrupted me
with, ''I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in
Massachusetts .''
Without trying to make him look stupid, I calmly explained, '' Cape Cod
is in Massachusetts , Capetown is in Africa ''
his response -- click.
3. A senior Vermont Congressman (Bernie Sanders) called, furious about a
Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in
Orlando . He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried t o
explain that's not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the
state.
He replied, 'don't lie to me, I looked on the map and Florida is a very
thin state!'' (OMG)
4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife (Landra Reid) who asked, ''Is it
possible to see England from Canada ?''
I said, ''No.''
She said, ''But they look so close on the map.'' (OMG, again!)
5.An aide for a cabinet member(Janet Napolitano) once called and asked
if he could rent a car in Dallas . I pulled up the reservation and
noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas . When I asked him why he
wanted to rent a car, he said, ''I heard Dallas was a big airport, and
we will need a car to drive between gates to save time.'' (Aghhhh)
6.An Illinois Congresswoman (Jan Schakowsky) called last week. She
needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at
8:30 a.m., and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m.
I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois , but she
couldn't understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her the
plane went fast, and she bought that.
7. A New York lawmaker, (Jerrold Nadler) called and asked, ''Do airlines
put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage
belongs to whom?'' I said, 'No, why do you ask?'
he replied, ''Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag
on my luggage that said (FAT), and I'm overweight. I think that's very
rude!''
After putting him on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was
dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno ,
Ca. is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a
destination tag on his luggage.
8. A Senator John Kerry aide (Lindsay Ross) called to inquire about a
trip package to Hawaii . After going over all the cost info, she asked,
''Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to
Hawaii ?''
9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman, Bobby Bright
(D) from Ala who asked, ''How do I know which plane to get on?''
I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, ''I was told my
flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them.''

See, the "Freedom of Speech Thing".
You have the right to say what you wish. (although this being a private board, the owners/managers/moderators might disagree and remove it at their discretion). I have the right to reply with my thoughts about what you said. That's freedom of speech. It's what you're exercising right now. Do you feel you've been deprived of that, somehow?

do we need an "Official Thread" to bash America since it's going to happen unofficially anyway?

Everyone has the right to freedom of speech, but there does come a time when actually has to think about the reasons why and a person(s) agenda in exercising this, what is their true purpose so to speech.
But not everyone on the world has this right at all, why simple, some of them will lose their lives. So some of us should really count ourselves very lucky, we can do this.

Well, thank you for clearing that up for me. I didn't realize Boban was living in communist China. Sorry, Boban. Veritaas cleared up the mystery there.
HEY..... wait a minute.... how can Boban be asking "what happened to freedom of speech" if he didn't expect he should have it? And if he expected to have it, then I don't think he's living in a country where he could be killed for it.

OK. You're a funny guy with a happy-go-lucky perspective on most things. You're a big gooey softy dressed up in a big tough guy costume. You're confident in yourself, say what you mean, mean what you say and will change your position if you can be convinced you don't have the right one.
That will be 100 Euros. Pay the cashier on your way out and we'll set up an appointment for next week.
