Oh yeah? Look at which country has all the economic power now.

By the way, do you know how much the Americas owe the World Bank and China?

hahaha. This is my favorite feature of forums. The ever-popular "You made a spelling mistake, so your opinion is not valid". I'm sure there were plenty of great leaders and visionaries in history who couldn't spell. Do you write Einstein off because he wasn't great at math?

Please Please PLEASE don't interpret this as my agreeing with the statement about people being jealous of white people. I'm making NO comment on that. I'm only laughing at the concept of the above mentioned strategy to discredit others.

You should worry more about how the media is brainwashing you.

the media just has to go and over hype everything.....

I'm just annoyed that I can't use my laptop in the last hour of flights anymore....

I usually find that my laptop is dead by the last hour of flights I am on. I should mention that the majority of my flying is 4 hours or a little over 1 hour so you dont really have time to even pull it out.

That's actually a myth. Einstein actually owned math so hard that his teachers couldn't understand what he was doing and assumed it was wrong. It also didn't help that he constantly told them they were doinitwrong to the point of pissing them off.

I agree that it is not very convenient with the new stricter rules about how you are no longer allowed to have anything out during the last hour of flights. However, I do understand the concerns of the airlines, and agree that the safety of all passengers is more important than having access to entertainment during the last hour of flights. I'd rather be bored out of my mind during the last hour of a flight than be a victim of an act of terrorism.

Personally, I am currently in Sweden visiting family, and it is going to be a disaster trying to get back home, because I have 3 flights to get home, including from Copenhagen to Chicago, and from Chicago back to Toronto. We are trying to change our flights, because flying through the US is going to be very inconvenient due to the new security measures. And with only an hour and a half for our stopover in Chicago, it is almost guaranteed that we will miss our flight, since they will be making us get our bags, go through customs, and then recheck them, as well as other security measures. And this is in the case that our flight is not cancelled, as I have heard that many flights into and from the States have been cancelled in light of the recent circumstances. Wish me luck

Yeah, he actually understood math extremely well. He was well ahead of his peers when he was a kid. He was pretty much learning advanced math just like students these days in "enriched math" but MUCH faster and it was self learning.

That's a generalization. First of all there are Asians who are jealous of white people for varying reasons such as living in the white privilege, apparently the standard of beauty is anything that is close enough to caucasian features (If you look at a lot of non-white countries, their celebrities look like or try to look like and have features that are close enough to white people), etc.

At the same time there are Asians who are not jealous at all of white people for varying reasons such as they see their own race as better that the caucasian race, white people are racist and oppressive (Given the history of white people oppressing non-whites in their own country), and has the obesity gene, too light skin for their taste, etc.

Besides, people will not be jealous of a race based on the fact that all the developed and wealthy countries are predominantly white. I don't think you realized that Russia is part of Asia. Russians are considered as white people. Also, China is not a poor country so is Saudi Arabia.

You'd be a fool to worry. I highly doubt that MAC would be a coveted target for a terrorist organization. Also there is nothing to be gained from worry except added stress leading to an early grave. Personally I just accept the fact that there are tons of things out of my control not worth worrying over, this is one of them.

There is actually a lot you can do to end "terrorism" and none of them involves using weapons or violence.
