This story seemed legit until the plane "broke out in cheers." This is a public comment on a supposed picture of a man who left the plane before the family of a soldier who was deceased in the belly of the plane. Edit: gently caress it, here's the original topic that the comment stemmed from:  Not sure if either story is true (it would seem the one with the pic is somewhat more legit), but they're both written like STDH Zipperelli. has a new favorite as of 14:12 on Apr 8, 2015 |

And even then, what the gently caress? Like, let the kid and mom off or whatever but people have connecting flights and poo poo. Their next plane doesn't care about something like this.

The pic would be less totally unconvincing if it was taken in the plane itself.

The first one goes out of their way to mention the man is Hispanic, and doesn't consider that maybe he doesn't speak English and just doesn't understand what is going on.  I guess its possible the pilot gave instructions in both languages, but in my experience maybe the instructions for flight are given in two languages but the pilot's calls over the intercom were always just English. Whatever, 'merica  didn't happen anyways.

It must suck living in a country that puts their armed forces on as much of a pedestal as the US does. Like Australians support out military but anyone going super jingoistic is going to get people just staring at them in confusion or irritation.

That's the way it is in real life around here, anyway. Facebook is a cesspit of this type of thing.

I'm disabled, and after sitting for so long, I generally would be kind of pissed if I was asked to sit longer for no real reason. Why the gently caress would the family have to get off first?

I know this is STDH, but... wouldn't that be classed as assault?  Also "sibling brother"

Didn't some soldier post in the last STDH thread that when a plane carries military remains home, it's usually done without much fanfare? Maybe if the guy was Audie Murphy then everyone would have to remain seated, but I can't see it happening for everyone else.

I was expecting that STHD to go the way of "the Hispanic guy WAS the Marine"... until I realized exactly who it was that would be posting this sort of story in the first place.

And the lovely rich tipper? Mitt Romney. Also Einstein was there, but he didn't want to be part of this STDH, so he slunk out before getting the milkshake he ordered.

You're overthinking it. I got slapped by a Peruvian granny in the Lima airport (because it was crowded and she got smacked by the trek poles sticking out of my backpack). Being slapped by random old women in airports is part of the human experience.

What's great about the Marine story is that there's actually a strong military tradition in most Latino cultures.

That's assuming the person was even Hispanic. I recently saw a bad review of a circus show that complained about the "Hispanics" running the show and that the person couldn't understand "their foreign language." The show was called "Cirque Italia" and "their foreign language" was actually English, with an Italian accent.

One of my old housemates thought he was the wrong age for an entire year. I'm pretty sure it was when he was in his late teens or early 20s.

It is easy to forget your age after you hit the major milestones. Next milestone for me is drawing SS.

david... posted:I have a friend who has long ginger curly hair and everyone says he looks like a lion, so he bought this t-shirt that had a lions face on it, we went to a zoo, lion lost it's loving mind and attacked the glass. It's not because of the shirt. Many cultures have mythology about cats being partly supernatural creatures, able to detect the unseen and unnatural with ease. The ancient Egyptians conferred so much respect to felines that to kill one was to earn a death penalty. The lion detected one of the The Hated Soulless Ones, who walk among us disguised as humans, and moved to eliminate it. A pity that the glass prevented the Walking Ginger Abomination's demise.

One time I was signing up for a store reward card on my birthday, and after filling in the form I was a bit annoyed by the clerk asking me so many times if I was sure that was the right date. I think I know the day I was born dude! As I was walking out I suddenly realised that instead of my date of birth, I had filled in the date of that day. I never went back there.
