Jesus, I don’t know why I’m bothering responding to this person. Haven’t you heard on the fawking news about how some of the hijackers went to a flight training school right here in the US? All they had to do was show up and pay cash. Flight schools operate all over this country, all over the world. They didn’t find 4 pilots who wanted to be suicide bombers, they found suicide bombers and trained the smartest ones to be pilots. In the US. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Gomez \* > \*\*I think AWC was being sarcastic guys. \*\* That’s a generous interpretation. I think she was being lazy. This is the second Pit thread **AWC** has started by just cutting-and-pasting quotes: [Yes, there are doves…](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=87463). When challenged on her non-argument she blithely stated, “I’m not mad at anyone - I just felt like posting an example of stupidity. It’s in the pit because I expect some moron to flame me over it.” Yep, that was stupid, all right. Not to mention trolling. Sheesh, if someone’s gotta be a jerk at least they could put some _effort_ into it. BTW, I’m not mad at anyone - I just don’t feel like indulging jerks. TVeblen P.S. For the uninitiated, **AWC** has waltzed around this dance floor before. ---

Then, pray tell, why the current designation under the UserID, if I may ask? ---

Check it again, Monty. Trolling AND using an anonymizer. Bad combo. Lynn
