“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

Yes, but, a car crash is on the ground, and thanks to the seatbelts I'll most like to come out alive. I am usually driving when I'm on a car, and I drive safe. I never drink and then drive.
Now, the airplane is at thousands of feet in the air, and God knows what the maintenance team, the tower and the pilots drank that night. Also, I am not afraid of the death per se, as I am not afraid of dying at all. I have somewhat of a phobia of the "falling" feeling, so I avoid roller coasters and stuff at all costs. So I am more afraid of a turbulence, which is quite common, than of a mid-air explosion, which I would not mind at all, as I die instantly.

My mantra today was "I hate mums". What I really mean, though, is that I hate mothers of school children who can't drive their four-wheel-drives (what do you guys call Landcruisers and the like?) for peanuts and are always happy to provide for me the giddy thrill of a near-death experience every time I happen to be driving around at 3pm...
I hate 'friends' who try to rip off my intelectual property (songs) and falsely and egotistically claim they had a hand in creating something that took me years.

Now that you mention it, I hate Friends. It was amusing at first but ten seasons was too damn much.
Okay my little blogging babies, i'm gonna keep this simple since its a girl thing and we are talking and dealing with male minds...
i HATE that i wasted a YEAR of my time on a useless, pointless, self-absored, STD-walking, hot-and-cold-blooded, lady charming, fugly looking, stupid, petty, unsophisticated, morally compromising, neurotic, spilt-personality, compulsively lying, having "fat days", says his d*ck is 8 inch (but ohh it's really not), crazy, possesive, jealous, envious, pessimistic JERK. it's been officially a year since i've seen him now, and oh i tried to have a civil conversation with him but alas he has the brain intelligence of a molluscan clam.

If she ends up even considering that there might be truth behind Scientology (I grant it a capital letter grudgingly- I don't think it deserves the recognition), I will personally put her down. Wikipedia has a particularly hilarious article about the teachings of Scientology, and I strongly recommend it for a good laugh. It really is discouraging that people can actually be persuaded to believe this stuff.
