    The truth of the matter is, the so-called Arab World is one large gang, much like the Italian Mafia, that conducts business by murder.

    1. and every Arab is a gang member criminal? Come on, entertain me, do you have a “punishment proposal” regarding this as well?

        2. Not appropriate. knock that crap off, no one here wants to hear that kinda talk. While I dont believe in alot of the Koran, judging the Middle Eastern people as a whole like that is unnecessary and not productive. Oh,yeah…
          TROLL

    all you guys making fun of the situation and most of you apparently forgot how much help the Emir has offered Lebanon in  the South and other areas too. At least he didn’t interfere in Lebanon affairs and sent his thugs to terrorize people or assasinate them.

      Ok … not fun to be shot at.
       But ‘help’ with a bit of money is not what Lebanon needs … and the Emir isn’t trying to change the thinking I am sure.

      1. 5thDrawer,

        Interestingly what amazes me is that not a single media broadcasting station reported this incident. At this point, we do not know whether this story is fabricated or true.

          It’s the same kind of thinking that makes hospital bills a ‘state secret’ and denies them even to the one who pays the bill.
          If no-one sees anything, there can’t be anything bad happening. (Just bring money)

    Maybe the Emir will invest in this one. I’m sure we would all be happier flying … 🙂
    Subject: airport security
     
    The Israelis are developing an airport security device that eliminates the privacy and radiation concerns that come with full-body scanners at the airports:
    An armoured booth you step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on your person.
    Israel sees this as a win-win situation for everyone, with none of this crap about racial profiling. It will also eliminate the costs of a long and expensive trial. 
    You’re in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter, an announcement:
    “Attention to all standby passengers: we now have a seat available on flight 670 to London. Shalom!”

    1. 5D, While I love your post, I must clarify the 1 typo in it.. (Though, dont tell the Saudi’s they will think its a Jooo conspiracy and YOUR involved.)
      OK… You spelled armored wrong( you spelled it armoured) The twist in your tale is Armour is the name of 1 of America’s largest HAM and potted meat manufacturers, lol.. Define Irony perhaps? Have a great day..

        Ah, sorry Mr. Aware. I must explain the spelling in the little joke above (which it is at the moment – perhaps unfortunately. 😉
          I have a tendency (due to age as much as education) to use the more-original English (Oxford) spellings of words instead of the American, which removed most of the vowels and double-letters at some point – along with creating other abominations of the language most often seen in the net, and in advertising where they often get it wrong either way. 🙂 
          Actually, newer Oxfords explain the differences, but I can’t say that Webster does the same as I don’t use it. 🙂
         Being an older surviving company, I suppose Armour Meats knew what they were doing when they wrapped Ham in a Can – to protect it – unlike most of the modern ones which sent the work to China. 😉
          And yes, the on-line dictionaries love to underline words such as ‘colour’ and ‘armour’ – but I ignore the underlines. I am a rogue.  (Perhaps why I love a bacon sandwich on occasion too. 🙂

        1. Touche, lol Though I was just poking the Saudi’s..
