    Now all we are left with is a bunch of clowns.

    Romney's not a clown - he just plays one on TV.

    Qatar is calling for military intervention. Time for the Arab league to grow a pair.

    Pizza is hit and miss. Around here, Pizza Hut has "Hut no hi" when pizza is half price if you pick up. Makes a large deluxe pizza only 1500 yen.

    Too bad a "large pizza" in Japan is more like a medium... if you are lucky.

    You have been on this one for a while Mex. I thought you were joking but you wont let it go. His real name aint Mittens. Never was. But I do like calling him Mittens.

    Mitt's real name is "Willard".

    We're sucking it up as it is. Who do you think helps pay for the medical these people get?

    Depends on what country you are in. But seriously, welcome to the new minority.

    Fewer seats means... prices go up. For everyone! Seems unfair to the skinny and fit people that they'll have to shell out more for a ticket because the fatties can't fit into the seats they've been using for years.

    At the point where fatties are the majority, skinny people will just have to suck it up. TS, I guess.

    well then how about making fat seats down at the back of the plane...with the babies,and the tilters,so everyone else is free to sit quietly

    What are you thinking, man?! You're going to unbalance the plane that way, and the tail end might fall off!!

    Then I am wondering why Cletus didn't do this instead of standing at the back of the airplane.. Flight Attendents with no power to get passengers to move their chairs? Come on..

    I missed that anecdote the first time around. That... sucks. I don't for a moment believe that the flight attendant couldn't have ordered the other passenger not to recline the seat. I'd be making some serious complaints to the airline, if I were in his position.

    Luckily not everyone who flies is a complete jerk.

    flying is all about being selfish these days.. if the person in front of you puts the seat back right in your face, make a point to smash into it every time you go to the bathroom.

    Or you could, you know, politely ask them to tilt their seat a little bit forward....

    Yes, all perfectly ordinary. Nothing to see here...

    What if, and this is most likely the case, the seats next to you are taken or the flight is full?

    Wait for the next flight, I guess. Overweight people need to take some responsibility for their condition (even if it is medical and they can't do anything about it). That means recognizing physical realities.

    At the same time, they don't deserve to be demonized for their condition. Pricing by the pound does this, in my opinion. The airlines have a responsibility, too . If the average customer is getting fatter, they should be looking into fewer, wider seats on planes.

    With all due respect, Snuke, these guys were aggressively trying to break into her house. I'm failing to any "misunderstanding" going on here. I'm not buying the "but they could have been there to save the baby!" crap SolarSails is peddling.

    1) It was obvious that they intended to unlawfully break into the trailer. 2) It was reasonable to assume that they were dangerous.

    Thus her action was justified.

    Note, too, that she waited until she saw the glint of the knife in his hand to fire. Not that I feels she needed to in my estimation.

    If you can't fit in your seat, then you pay for two. Otherwise, no dice. Airlines have no business weighing people prior to boarding.

    Huntsman supports the Ryan Plan. There are things about the guy I like. But then I see posters here who loathe my country and everything about pulling for the guy and I reconsider.

    • My guess: Huntsman will drop out. His showing was too moderate even in a moderate state.

    Huntsman really isn't "moderate" at all - look at his governing record, he's solidly conservative. But his manner is "moderate" - he doesn't breath fire like the other Republican candidates, doesn't spout off all the inane "Obama-is-a-Kenyan-Muslim-socialist-bent-on-destroying-America" red-meat BS that he base loves. Thus he comes off as a reasonable human being, which explains why liberals support him while conservatives, who are way too far into this culture war stuff right now, don't. No one is much paying attention to his actual record or policies.

    Honestly, I think Huntsman is currently running for 2016. I like the guy, but I'm not sure he has the killer-instinct necessary in a president.

    Comments like this are a perfect example of the mindset that is leading to America's decline. Romney and his colleagues invested venture capital in struggling businesses. Some percentage of these businesses ultimately failed - but they surely would have failed anyway had they not been given additional resources and restructuring. Had Romney not invested in any of the struggling companies than a much higher percentage of people would have lost their jobs. Does politics blind people to common sense nowadays?

    What I don't get is the Republican challengers attacking Romney from this angle... I mean, you are either pro-capitalism or you aren't, and this is capitalism. I don't see how you can call Obama a "socialist" and then turn around and criticize Romney for his time at Bain. Anything that sticks, I guess?

    To rephrase, Smith, you are assuming that the warning would have scared them away. But there is a chance it wouldn't have.

    You and Triumvere with your, "Warning them would have gotten you killed" logic is absolutely baffling. Please do explain how warning someone before they break in that I have a gun would get me killed.

    The element of surprise means she's guaranteed to get one solid shot off with out him knowing. This maximizes her chance to hit. This is critically important at any time, but doubly so because there are two intruders. If she misses her first shot she may not get a second one, and there is no way she can deal with both of them at the same time.

    This isn't some sort of far-fetched, fantasy situation, Smith. You are a smart man, so surely you can see this. Scaring away the intruder with a warning may indeed have been the better way to go on multiple levels, but it is a calculated risk. My overall point - that the calculation was hers and hers alone to make - stands. She did what she felt she had to do. If you were in her situation and chose differently, I would not criticize you for it. But this is a far cry from, say, shooting someone in the back as they run away with your TV.
