"Patriot" shoots up LAX

[regexcellent]

Wrong, mason dixon line goes south with the Maryland border.

Delaware was a slave state.

Those TSA people can be pretty awful, behave like prison guards, treat people like criminals, no excuse at all to shoot some but sadly not surprised that some nutter took offence and did open fire.

There has been some effort recently to improve their customer relations, politeness and manner. I know people who avoid the USA because of the over the top security screening at airports and the "you're so lucky to be in the USA" attitude.

We have these problems in Australia too so this isn't an anti-USA rant. I got into a heated argument with one of these knuckleheads in Australia, in front of one of my sons, which I'm not proud of. But I'm not a criminal either and expect to be treated with common courtesy and respect as a citizen when travelling, which I do a lot, so it gets to you after a while.

PRO TIP: Those wings are just for show.

If that show is anything like "Legion", then I'd stop talking to Ben.

I really think BK has a brain tumor... or some other neurological issue causing his psychosis.

Still No.

It's amazing. Pretty soon nobody will be a yankee. He's a Jersey democrat. What's so hard to fathom about that? Most folks are.

A psychologist and a neurologist. Wow.

John Travolta in Phenomenon had a brain tumor which made him really smart ...

Slave, not rebel. Missouri and Kentucky are not on that list, either.

[Felch]

Neither is Maryland. Definitely a slave state.

Heck, Southern New Jersey had plenty of slave ownership.

[DinoDoc]

There's a reason Lincoln only freed the slaves in States currently in rebellion with his Proclamation.

Want to start a slapfight in Jersey? Well, there's plenty of ways to do that, but saying South Jersey is on the Dixie side of the Mason-Dixon is a good one.
