Orlando shootings likely to impact security at theme parks

Every attempt at safety has some way it can backfire so that needs to be taken into consideration.

1) And I'm sure the strengthened, locking cockpit doors are also a good deterrent and defense.

2)That backfired for German Wings though, when the copilot intentionally committed suicide by crashing the plane after locking the captain out of the cockpit.

1) And armed pilots

2)Which led to a rule change in Europe, more closely resembling the rules already in place in the USA. However, there's not much that can be done in this situation, unfortunately. Some risks you just have to accept. Fortunately, most pilots are so swimming in money and [EDIT] Faygo Moon Mist [EDIT] that they would never dream of committing suicide.

Did you seriously just post "poontang?" How old are you?

yup.

40.

Do you not listen to Fiddycent? Or use words ironically? It's hella fun.

I mean, how long did you have JPizzy Lifestyle going on...

Hey! I still read the JPizzie Lifestyle blog! Long may it continue.

If you don't understand the difference between an intentionally silly fake hiphop name and derogatory slang for a woman's vagina, I'm not sure I can help you.

It's not appropriate here.

I think you're taking what he said way too far. That's hardly some hard core derogatory slang term. Even when it was used more regularly and not comedicly.

Don't act like you're the better person because I didn't take offense at a word that's never been as derogatory as you make it.

I'm not interested in what you think, I'm telling you that it's not acceptable here. You've been here long enough to understand that you don't get to make the rules.

I'm not even arguing that. I do think it's interesting that it's okay to use the term Dick (a derogatory term for make genitalia) to refer to someone but an obscure word like he used is unacceptable when they're both the same thing.

I guess I just think it odd that you have a problem with that particular word and called someone out the way you did, in a negative way, instead of saying "hey, that's not an appropriate word around here".

If it's not acceptable to you, you being the one making the rules, that's fine. I'm just not sure anyone here would have known that word was unacceptable when words like a$$, d*ck, and a$$hole are acceptable.

I mean, he seemed to be using it as an intentionally silly fake hiphop name for getting laid.

Not an arguement, just a statement.

I was simply attempting to be silly and irreverent by using a word that most people regard as silly and irreverent due to it's obvious... uuuhhhh... silliness and irreverentness?

While discussing 50 shooting victims, the 9/11 hijackings, and suicidal pilots, I contributed my own personal knowledge and experience, finding it relevant to the topic. Because I don't like going into details about aviation security, I then tried to lighten the mood by sarcastically making fun of myself using a humorous stereotype (see "Leonardo DiCaprio") of my profession.

The word was chosen precisely for the fact that it is outdated and juvenile, nothing more. "That's the joke."

Someone mentioned that they need to ban the ar-15. The question is who gives them the rights to ban the gun in the fact place. It's not in the US Constitution. It's ok if you don't want to own a so-called assault weapon but don't tell me or anyone else that they can't have one based on your personal dislikes. Also anyone who has been trained in weapons can tell you that anything can be turned into a weapon that can be used to assault anyone.Those that want gun control are wrong. It's like the story about the frog who is slowly being boiled to death. The demonkrats want this keep on raising the temperature of the water until the frog aka second amendment is dead.

We must remember that the second amendment wasn't just for hunting but also to protect the citizens against a government that has gone rogue in it's ever increasing demand for power over the American citizen. The founding fathers saw this since England was getting to that stage when we declared out independence from England. The places where the moist gun control has the highest amount of murders. The places with the least has the lowest since the criminal knows that they might have to face someone who is armed. That is why criminals and terrorists go to gun free zones to commit their massacres and crime.

You are complete incorrect, and wrong about the Constitution. The Supreme Court has been through this exercise already. It is not unconstitutional to ban certain kinds of weapons, including guns like the AR-15. One of the states tried to ban handguns, and that to date is the limit where the courts said it went too far. You're also unrealistic if you think your guns would matter against a drone strike or a tank.

And seriously, if you want to play the partisan game, the Republican leadership seems hell bent on challenging the 4th Amendment, which is a hundred times more frightening to me than any challenge to the 2nd Amendment. Read this.

Also, the Orlando club had armed guards, at least one of which actually fired on the perpetrator.

Really? Seems pretty cut and dry to me.

"the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding" and that "the Second Amendment right is fully applicable to the States".

Jeff, with all due respect. You are wrong on this. The first 10 amendments is a right given by our founding fathers and the key words in the 2nd Amendment are shall not be infringed upon. That goes for Congress and the USSC. I am not playing any games either, Jeff. I am stating a fact based on the US Constitution. The Ar-15 is a sporting rifle and it's my right to own one if I haven't broken any laws. As I stated, if you don't want military style rifle such as the Ar-15, Mak-90 then it's your right not to buy one. But don't tell me I can't buy one have one based on idioitc statements from the demokrats who don't know much about guns at all. After the AR-15 is banned what next, So far this year abortions have killed 100 times more innocent lives than guns have. IT's a slippery slope you are going down by wanting to ban the AR-15. Jeff, did I say anything about a drone strike. NO, I didn't. The fact is that you are unrealistic in your demands to ban a gun that you and the minority dislike. It's like the frog in boiling water adage I mention.

Jeff, I am older than you by around 15 years. I served my country in the USAF and would love to own the gun I carried since the gun I carried was the m-60 carbine. I couldn't own one if I tried since it would cost me around $20,000 and alot of registration and fees.

DJ, just think if someone else was in the club armed and could have saved a lot of the 49 people. The armed guard was on the outside not on the inside. 90% of the mass shootings were in gun free zones. The colorado theater shooting occurred in a gun free zone which the shooter went to after he checked out on theater that wasn't a gun free zone.

You would have more of my respect if you used the word "democrat" properly.

Brett, I call it like I see them. I usually call them demonkrats which they are. Also science has proven that demonkrats have a slightly lower IQ than those who don't believe in the demokrat point of view

Can't resist this one
