hell you are already dead in that case you can go out like a man, or you can go like a sheep. If someone on a plane next to me stood up suddenly and said "allah ackbar" I for sure am gonna try out all that interesting stuff my karate teacher told me never to do to someone.

What have you got to lose?

Think about it.  If they don't have these items, what is their intent?  
It's to take control of the plane.  
Given what hijackers did the last time they took control of a plane, I'd say you've got nothing to lose in doing something.  
In fact you have a lot more to gain than if you just sit there.

Hijackers are unlikey to ever again accomplish what they did on 9/11. I'd be willing to bet there aren't many US pilots who won't put anyone not belted in their seat on the ceiling, floor, and just about everywhere else should a hijack attempt be made.

I KNEW Ann's column this week would be about this:

WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE YOUR FLIGHT MORE UNCOMFORTABLE?
November 22, 2006


Six imams removed from a US Airways flight from Minneapolis to Phoenix are calling on Muslims to boycott the airline. If only we could get Muslims to boycott all airlines, we could dispense with airport security altogether.

Witnesses said the imams stood to do their evening prayers in the terminal before boarding, chanting "Allah, Allah, Allah" — coincidentally, the last words heard by hundreds of airline passengers on 9/11 before they died.

Witnesses also said that the imams were talking about Saddam Hussein, and denouncing America and the war in Iraq. About the only scary preflight ritual the imams didn't perform was the signing of last wills and testaments.

After boarding, the imams did not sit together and some asked for seat belt extensions, although none were morbidly obese. Three of the men had one-way tickets and no checked baggage.

Also they were Muslims.

The idea that a Muslim boycott against US Airways would hurt the airline proves that Arabs are utterly tone-deaf. This is roughly the equivalent of Cindy Sheehan taking a vow of silence. How can we hope to deal with people with no sense of irony? The next thing you know, New York City cab drivers will be threatening to bathe.

Come to think of it, the whole affair may have been a madcap advertising scheme cooked up by US Airways.

It worked with me. US Airways is my official airline now. Northwest, which eventually flew the Allah-spouting Muslims to their destinations, is off my list. You want to really hurt a U.S. air carrier's business? Have Muslims announce that it's their favorite airline.

Religious or not, it is faith based, and so irrational, and so.. less "devoid" of religion than agnosticism.
That it would be the polar opposite of belief in god would no less make it on the same axis as religion. They both base themselves on the axiom that you can, in fact, rationalize the veracity of anything related to god.
There is no evidence regarding the existence of god either way, so either, or any, statement as to its existence or inexistence is irrational.

Atheism is considered a semi-religion because they deny the existence of God. Agnostics like me simply admit they do not know but refuse also to worship something based on pure belief. I.e. do not care.

what are people who never think about cosmology & all that other stuff?

There is no evidence that ghosts and magic do not exist, surely you would not think the opinion that there is no such thing as magic is irrational.


The problem is people get hung up on this "believing that there is nothing godlike is the same as believing that there is a god, since the existance of god cannot be disproven, both opinions are "faith based". And they don't think beyond this.

If an agnostic doesn't believe that the ancient gods of greece are real, by this line of flawed reasoning, he would be considered religious.
