"everyone" is so vague. I don't particularly notice anyone angry in the US.
Maybe you are one of those people who just sees things from an angry point of view. People can and do.
Try to relax and stop and smell the roses (as they say).
This was a very good movie. Probably the first time since I lived here in Honolulu that the audience clapped afterwards. I never see that, unless it's a classic revival (saw the King and I a few weeks ago and the audience clapped). Anway, when the movie was announced, I too was skeptical on how they...
Jump to postSan Francisco is one of the most politically correct cities in the US. I'm sure they will be ADA compliant. At most European airports there's a vehicle akin to a catering truck that transports the ADA individual terminal-plane and then lifts up to plane level. Slightly off topic, but there was a Kat...
Jump to postI'm not a huge fan of Sig Zane shirts. My opinion. I would have loved to have seen them choose Iolani shirts, or even Manuhealani. I rather like what the men wear now to be honest. Sig Zane shirts seem to always look very geometric to me.
Jump to postI'm sure it'll be quite beautiful. It looks like a Mexican commissioned artwork piece. Sort of Oaxacan. This really is not a very good picture as it's a bit fuzzy and diluted. But I'm looking forward to it. (sort of would love to see a silver livery like they used to have yrs ago, even though growin...
Jump to postI thought this would be a good place to ask since there are a lot of creative types here. I was browsing my facebook and my eye somehow caught this infographic from a French news site explaining the republican convention. I am not advocating this site, nor the convention, but "I" was impre...
Jump to postI'm trying to wrap my head around the speech theft. (I was going to say snafu, but that's not strong enough). What frame of mind would the speech writing team be in to not even notice that? You gotta love all the facebook and twitter memes out there. "I'd like to thank my speech writers Copy &a...
Jump to postDoesn't bother me. I dont have a strong opinion either way. I imagine they would not do anything radical. The globes are their identity.
Jump to postApparently United has taken him off of flying pending investigation.

(Daily Mail is very conservative leaning, but this was a recent article)
I dont know if i'd go on to say he called for her execution. What if he had said 'tarred and feathered'? Hung out, tarred and feathered. Hard to say, although I myself would think what you think... If so, I do hope United takes disciplinary action. Not a pilot I'd feel safe flying with. Keep your po...
Jump to postWhat an odd occurrence to see such a foreign bird in Oklahoma City! Reminds me in 1978 or so, I was flying to SFO and all Bay Area airports were fogged in, so we had to divert to Sacramento (back then only about 5 airlines). There was this Pan Am 747SP sitting on the runway. There were no customs fa...
Jump to posti remember my parents flew LAX-MSY back in 1976 or 77. Or were you talking about flights that 'continued onwards' to a Florida destination (which New Orleans flights may have, although I don't know if that particular flight did)..
Jump to postFinland can certainly do as they please, but anybody who joins ISIS in this day and age knows exactly what they are capable of doing. Personally I feel any returning ISIS joiners should be treated as terrorists and dealt with accordingly. Again, Finlands choice, but at the very least, I certainly ho...
Jump to postcontinued because it appears one cannot "edit" the post to add or make changes, unless I am wrong.. Anyway, I think if this particular board were stylistically changed to reflect the older one only in terms of listing the topics and move the author and other info that creates a 2nd line. ...
Jump to posti recognize the need for things to change and move forward. Incorporating new and modern elements is never a bad thing. My only complaints, which may echo a few others, is that the old site was able to show 50 or more topics on one page, it was easy to scroll down and see something that interested y...

Jump to postNot really a fan, I kept waiting for an American to show up lol, (it is a US airline). I do understand the desire to portray a global image, and certainly could see this on an international flight, but to be honest, if this is going to play on a 757 on the Jacksonville to Nashville run, it's message...
Jump to postThere are great websites around with loads of Braniff history. Interesting to note that the Pucci uniforms lasted from the 1960s until 1977 when American fashion designer Halston created the new look. Sort of a dramatic change from the wild and funky Pucci designs to a more tailored and late 70s loo...
Jump to postI'm sure Emirates approached the Ellen show, its a highly rated show, but still, how many of these people are actually going or want to go to Dubai? I'm well traveled but have zero interest in Dubai. Maybe they can use the tickets for destinations onwards from Dubai, say a European destination conne...
Jump to postWhy do people always assume something that comes from Hawaii has to resemble a Bird of Paradise or the colors in a Mai Tai? LOL If there must be a connection, one can think of brown and the seat colors representing Koa Wood, Bamboo, Teek, Taro leaves coming out of the imu, kalua pig, grass huts, coc...
Jump to postsome keep mentioning the choice for a flight so sparsely filled. These things are more than likely planned well in advance, like clockwork with a variety of people in various locations involved. If it was a terrorist attack, it's doubtful it was random and 'just decided'. If a terrorist attack, it h...
Jump to postGetting to the original title of this post (Will the US build...), are US airports built on a federal level? Is the United States the one actually building airports and deciding if so? Who actually would pay for such a thing? The cities? Counties? part federal grant? the arlines themselves? taxes, b...
Jump to postStunning. Absolutely beautiful. Love the hue of the reds and the greens. They match perfectly together. I found this evolution of Alitalia uniforms article that is recent. I loved the pin strip 1986 version, but I remember when Georgio Armani did their version and some article jokingly said that the...
Jump to postThe world is a different place these days. The events of Hiroshima happened over 70 years ago. I don't see anything wrong with a sitting US President visiting a tragic site like that.

Jump to postHaving heard them over the decades and liking their music here and there, 'at this point in my life' the one song I can continually listen to (and is on my ipod) is "Original Sin" from 1984.
