On CBC's As It Happens last night, they reported that there have been seven recent cases of commercial pilots committing suicide while carrying passengers.

I'll see if I can get a reference about that.

OK I just checked, and the full slate of yesterday's broadcast will not be archived until PM tonight, Eastern time.

Are you sure that the terrorist Jewish spies did not get ahold of the mind control devices the US government studied in the 60's to blame the Muslims and Christians and take over the world?

I read an article today that said the airline did extensive testing during training, but do nothing after hire.

I don't know what the answer is, you don't want pilots who are suicidal to fly, yet you don't want them, as you say, reluctant to seek help.

Ewan Wilson recently wrote a book in which he claims to document many instances of suicide by commercial pilots.

There is an interview by CBC with him here: http://www.cbc.ca/radio_template_2012/a ... 2660883182

Canada has already promulgated a rule that the cockpit never have more than two people in it at any time, in response to this danger.

It's starting to look like a classic Herostratos gambit. According to the copilot's ex-girlfriend, interviewed by German media, he once told her that he would do something some day that would make the whole world know his name.

Jesus Christ. You prejudiced fools just can't wrap your heads around the idea that a person could crash a plane and kill a bunch of people and not be a Muslim, can you? Or maybe you can but just prefer to lie to advance your agenda. So we get this trash about a coverup. God you make me sick. Evidence. Evidence for you claims or shut the hell up. And "Something bad happened so a Muslim have done it" is not evidence.
"Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy." - President Abraham Lincoln.

I do not say it is true only that were be a more plausible conspieacy theory than that the "US shoot it down". Maybe they have found copies of Qurans and Hadits in his house but wont release this info to the media?

We would blame Zoroastrians if it weren't for their belief in resurrection. :p

Meanwhile, Lufthansa introduce a new rule that there will be two crew members in the cockpit at all times. This does beg the question on whether these crew members will be thoroughly examined before being hired. At least more thorough than before.

OMG I agree. I mean, with a name like Muhammad Abdul bin al-Aziz al-Andreas al-Lubitz, why is there even an investigation? He's clearly a Muslim. And it's common knowledge that all Muslims crash commercial airliners, since there are daily aircraft crashes in Dubai, in Cairo, in Algiers, in Jakarta, in Tehran, in Dhaka, in Khartoum, in Istanbul, in Kuala Lumpur, and of course in Dearborn and Birmingham.

I betcha the investigators are withholding copies of the Quran and Hadith, probably even a prayer rug too!

Let the Bodies Hit the Floor.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Aside from the fact that your ongoing "I'm not saying it was muslims, but it was muslims" accusations are both moronically offensive and offensively moronic...aren't you from a Muslim country yourself? :blink:
