France and Portugal abruptly cancelled air permits for Morales' plane, forcing the unscheduled stopover in Vienna. There was no evidence that Snowden, wanted by Washington for espionage after divulging classified details of U.S. phone and Internet surveillance, had left the transit area of Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport. An Austrian Foreign Ministry official said rumours that Snowden was on the plane were untrue.[/quote] So, they CAN land diplomatic planes. Huh.
Such is life in 2013, this just sucks. I run out of things to say.
fourth of july i'm burning flags
[QUOTE=TheChantzGuy;41289421]fourth of july i'm burning flags[/QUOTE] Now that's just fucked up
[QUOTE=TheChantzGuy;41289421]fourth of july i'm burning flags. Gay pride flags, since I have no use for them after DOMA got passed. [/QUOTE] This is what you meant, right?
[QUOTE=BandClassHAH;41289400]Such is life in 2013, this just sucks. I run out of things to say.[/QUOTE] Yeah man i know right? Can't even ride a diplomatic plane anymore without people suspecting you're harboring an international fugitive which you've announced support for You haven't been affected by this at all
[QUOTE=Zenreon117;41289386] So, they CAN land diplomatic planes. Huh.[/QUOTE] Diplomatic planes can be forced to land somewhere, but not necessarily somewhere specific.
[QUOTE=JuiceHead3311;41289434]Now that's just fucked up[/QUOTE] So is spying on your own citizens?
[QUOTE=TheChantzGuy;41289421]fourth of july i'm burning flags[/QUOTE] Sure because that will get [I]everyone[/I] to agree with you, right?
[QUOTE=Alxnotorious;41289492]So is spying on your own citizens.[/QUOTE] Every country does this to an extent, again if you believe we are the only country to do so you are truly brain-dead.
[QUOTE=lolz3;41289509]Every country does this to an extent, again if you believe we are the only country to do so you are truly brain-dead.[/QUOTE] I'm angry at the magnitude of our spying, not at the black-and-white "do we or don't we."
[QUOTE=Alxnotorious;41289563]I'm angry at the magnitude of our spying, not at the black-and-white "do we or don't we."[/QUOTE] Okay then. I'm mad too, but I'm not one of these people that are going to support him because he caused panic, because of his actions it will result in more of this kind of thing.
Now I think Bolivia will get Snowden to come there just to say 'fuck you' to US and Austria after this. If a nation forced Obama's plane to land because we may have a Russian political refugee, Congress would be out for blood.
[QUOTE=TheChantzGuy;41289421]fourth of july i'm burning flags[/QUOTE] thats so edgy i scraped my leg
[QUOTE=TheChantzGuy;41289421]fourth of july i'm burning flags[/QUOTE] As far as I'm concerned, there's a difference between a county and the government of a country. It's very possible to love your country and everything it stands for but to hate the government that runs the country. Burning the American flag pretty much says to people that you hate the country and our ideals. Go ahead and do that if you really mean it, but you'll get like everyone super butthurt at you.
oh no, dont burn a piece of cloth

Fuck, you guys are pathetic if your symbols are so weak one guy can threaten their meaning. But go on, keep the boxes coming.
[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;41289710]Known: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1284714[/url][/QUOTE] That was just about it being rerouted. This is about the plane actually being resulted and Snowden not being on it.
Thread derailed into flag burning debate. Take it to mass debate.

Holy fuck, what? You're telling me the US can force other countries' diplomatic planes to land so they can search the plane not for some incredibly dangerous wanted terrorist, but for a 29-year-old whistleblower that exposed an insanely immoral and invasive spying program? What the hell happened to this world?

[QUOTE=Lambadvanced;41289925]Why do you do this[/QUOTE] Sometimes I want to believe that he realizes that every thread he touches turns to shit and he just likes to watch it unfold often, but I'm afraid that's giving him too much credit and that the real answer is that he actually believes his spiel.
[QUOTE=Lambadvanced;41289925]Why do you do this[/QUOTE] because stuff like this pisses me off.
