UALPHLCS: Concerning "NWAFA's" posts: ...Can't ya tell??? Can't you tell that he's really NOT a <acronym title="Northwest Airlines (USA)">NW</acronym> fa?

Jump to postIf you'd notice, lesbians aren't <i>nearly</i> as "hated" as gay males. It's even a turn-on for most straight guys. That being said, rather than the usual convoluted psychoanalytic assumptions that religion makes people hate gays, I have a simpler explanation: People just feel that men sticking thei...
Jump to postI cannot believe this idiotic argument. More and more people seem to be drinking more and more dumb-berry juice in this forum. Who cares if Canada has a small military??? For what reason would they need it??? They only have like 32 million people, right? Does this make them <i>less</i> of an ally be...

Jump to postI hope no one North of the Border presumes that Buchanan speaks for most Americans. Almost everyone I know despises the man. He's a deliberate pain in the a$$ for all rational and sane Americans. And as far as Americans "not thinking about Canada," that really only holds true for the geographically ...
Jump to postI always thought the Israelis should be banned from entering the US. Those violent people are the primary reason why Al-Qaeda and the Muslim world hate us so much. The hard-working Haitians, on the other hand, are a joy and contribute much to the service sector (much like the Mexicans and Central Am...
Jump to postCoincidentally, wasn't Colin Ferguson a Jamaican too?

Jump to postI think you should exercise extreme caution there. Chicago is known to have gangs of young Polish hooligans that go around snatching purses, harassing strangers and spraying graffiti everywhere they can.

Jump to postB747skipper, Uhhh, just for clarification, I am not Black. Both my parents were Italian descendants, and my father even lived in Uruguay and Brazil for 9 years.

Jump to postAbout Argentina..... Everybody I know who's been there characterize those "European descendend" Argentinians as very, very arrogant at best, and flat-out racist at worse.

Jump to post<i>How come I rarely see Asians playing basketball, rapping, hangin' out in front of the 7-11, joining a band? </i> Probably because you've obviously have never been to Chinatown, or parts of Queens or Brooklyn where young Asians selling marijuana, crack, and illegal steroids and participating in ga...

Jump to postIf its <i>that</i> easy to get into U. of Michigan as a "minority," then why isn't that campus predominately black/Latino/Native American/Disabled?

Jump to postThe last time I was in Europe, I was informed that you WILL "stand out" as an American if you simply wear a baseball cap. This was especially true in Germany, where they told me Germans generally hate baseball caps.
Are baseball caps mostly an "American" form of dress?
<i>I think people always have a problem when a new livery comes out.

Why is NW so fascinated by the color red anyway? Isn't red considered "bad luck" in some Asian cultures? Doesn't it symbolize death or something or another? If this is true, I wonder how NW has gotten away with being so popular over there. I can't think of any other airline so obsessed with a partic...

Jump to postAnd DL or CO will be there before NW ever will. (Well CO is debatable, but definitely DL). Delta is less-heavily unionized.
Keep dreaming, red birds.
MOST carriers tout something along the lines of "we have the youngest fleet!" CO has adds all over NYC's taxicabs and bus shelters screaming this. JetBlue is even worse with this touting the age of their "brand new spanking airbusses." And DL has gigantic billboard along NYC's major expressways brag...

Jump to postUALPHLCS is exactly right. All this blabbing about how "I don't won't my tax dollars going towards saving any airline" is coming out of the mouths of those who have no clue of what they're talking about.

Jump to postWow. I wonder if Hepkat would agree with Zauberfloete's assessment of Austrian attitudes towards Americans.
Actually, I've been overhearing more and more complaints about the service & delays on Delta, at least in the New York area. And more so by businessmen in suits at lunchtime rather than unknowledgeable once-a-year lesiure traveller. I didn't used to hear that many complaints about the widget, but th...

Jump to postNever been on a 767, huh? You're not missing much. Just like others said, it's about as ordinary and generic as you can get. Much like riding in an '83 Buick.

Jump to postI have to agree with most of you, and when I went back and re-read my own opening post I even spotted some shades of my own contradiction.
