I have no problem with people not finding the terror alert thing funny at all Michael. But I find it to be funny in a frightening way (like Bowling for Columbine), as do many others. The terror alert warning system has already become a parody of itself, as anyone can tell by tuning in to late night TV.

I find the high and mighty self righteousness about the seriousness of the terror alerts to be laughable. But that is me. Others are entitled to their opinions, but we don't need flame wars, just because we disagree. It is always an option for those who are easily offended by such subjects, not to read the thread, rather than use the thread as an excuse to go at a poster whose politics and opinions they disagree with.

But too late for any fun in this thread. The flame warriors have done their killjoy job on this thread. If you all want another "ain't it awful" hand wringing thread, it looks to me like you've got one.
