Where is that darn plane?

[Casey H]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not taking Casey's bait. He needs some better fishing equipment than that!

Seriously, I hope the latest "discovery" turns out to be real. Not that I'm hoping that it was a crash, but I can't believe the passengers are alive (I wish it could be true) so I just hope the families can have some closure. The agony they are enduring is horrific and the 24 hour media speculation, false reports, conflicting information, etc. has been an awful emotional rollercoaster for them.

If it turns out to have been a tragic accident, the pilot and co-pilot's families would have been put through hell for nothing.

But we still really don't know anything.

Saw that they were looking this early morn before leaving the house, just got home for lunch and they're still looking.....DAMN IT MAN!
Those poor families are really being put through the ringer. It's dark over there now, maybe a full day of light will bring some word?

Agreed!

And a fine English gentleman you are, Dave!

Casey

Do I feel a hug coming on?

I agree with you Len, to an extent, especially on the bias part, and that bias is being bought, disseminated, and rehashed by the powers that be.
Keep the sheeple hating the wiser people...works pretty well I think.
I think most of the free countries don't hate us as much, but I do know they think we're extremely silly and stupid in our endeavours.
Maybe Dave will tell us what a good Englishman thinks?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not taking Casey's bait. He needs some better fishing equipment than that!

Not going to get into the hate thing, except to say that Great Britain (and yes, it is still Great!) gets a lot of stick for things that went on under it's empire. Seems you'll always breed discontent when you occupy and interfere with the running of another country. Sound familiar?
Likewise, we became targets after 9/11 because of our support for the US.
We had thirty years of terrorism from the IRA (occupied countries again). Support from some quarters in the US (which caused resentment of the US in Britain) dried up after 9/11, so at least the end of the IRA (though some won't let go) was one positive thing to come out of that.

Why can't countries just keep to their own boundaries, and take care of their own affairs?

Len... Carry on posting. You say some sensible things. BUT, find your own quotes!!

And finally... maybe Malaysian security is easier to get through than the West's nowadays, and so was an easier target.

Yea Dave, like when you hear the US or other countries talk about "their interests in another part of the world". Why can't that interest
be in getting involved only when and if they are asked to do so?
Gotta protect that oil...after all, it's our oil under their sand...right?
I agree with you Dave, it is still Great Britain

Well Steve, you know there's so little oil in The States, you've gotta go looking for it somewhere!

We're all agreeable today, aren't we!
