He's dead... firing squad shot him!


You see? This is why it drives me nuts when they card 50 year-olds for beer
or cigs. I tried to tell everyone what it would eventually lead to: blah,
blah, blah, "just following company policy," blah, blah ...but would anyone
listen to me? No!

And now this pilot's been shot. Dead.

Well, I hope you're all quite pleased with yourselves.

Be careful what you say and to whom you say it, it is likely to be

Instead of cowering under the bed, you might want to work hard to
protect your freedom of speech. "Watching what you say" essentially
throws that freedom away.


A code you live by, obviously.


Don't be ridiculous. Choosing your words carefully in sensitive
situations, so as not to be misunderstood, has NOTHING to do with free
speech.

The answer to the question: "I'm here to shoot a pilot."


I've a number of friends that are actors, and one flew out to LA for a
period of time a while back. When I asked him why he'd be away, he said
he wanted to be out there for "pilot season".

I told him to let me know when it was over; that I'd be hiding under my
bed until then.

Choosing your words carefully is essentially censorship. While there might be
_extremely limited_ circumstances in which such censorship might be justified,
engaging in it just to protect yourself from a government that is no longer
willing to respect your freedom is a very dangerous choice. What you don't
use, you lose, and faster than you might think.

If you and your children were at your grandmother's house for
Thanksgiving dinner, would you say, "Hey Ganny, Pass the ****ing
butter"?

Watching what you say in various settings is good judgement, not
censorship.

Happens every time someone finished basic training in time for Thanksgiving.

Actually, it's not hard to imagine MaxManiac saying that.

And then arguing back when she reprimanded him.
