3. No
honestly no, people posted about this, and curiosity got the better of me. I read through like 4 pages of posts,(400+) and the worst they got was just one poster on how Airbus was a crappy plane.
Just alot of suprise and some prayers, and some really offensive signature lines. :)

4. Wanna see something unbelieveable?
Check this out:


When nine French fighter jets and a weather plane from a French carrier taking part in a joint exercise with Canadian Naval forces in the Atlantic off New Jersey ran perilously low on fuel last Friday because of a freak storm that prevented them from returning to their ship, they figured, no problem. They weren’t too far from the U.S. mainland, and so they could just land at McGuire AF Base in southern New Jersey.

No dice, the Francophobe U.S. military told them. According to a State Department source, quoted in the Philadelphia Inquirer, they were denied landing rights at the facility.

Faced with the choice of ditching their planes or finding an alternative landing site, the French pilots, with the help of frantic State Department and Federal Aviation Administration officers, managed to arrange landing permission at the commercial airfield in Atlantic City, though this necessitated delaying and rerouting several commercial flights because of the number of planes that were coming in at once.

6. God Blessed the French and Canadians,
because no one was killed. It was a really amazing to watch all people on board come off uninjured. I'm sure DAS Freepers were crying when they heard that the French didn't die.

7. I met one this evening.
I was out riding my road bike when another cyclist caught up to me. We started chatting and I asked if he had seen the news of the Air France plane skidding off of a runway in Toronto.

No he hadn't, but he hoped some French folks were killed because the French are all liars.

My reply - "F-ing disgusting!"

With that, I stood on the pedals and left him in my dust.

:wow:

"Sounds like you're not pro-life."

10. I could have said several things. No point though.
Freepers are full of hate. It'll eat them up from the inside out.

No point in logic or irony - doesn't work on them.
