The Lanyard Police

[centralpilot]

I thought about getting a Cubs lanyard, but I was based in St. Louis when I first started in the airline industry, so that would've required me constantly hanging my head in shame.

Go Cardinals!

Perfect example of the prejudice I'm talking about. Ironic that you use such a prejudice to decry percieved prejudice toward yourself.

Religions don't want to hurt people. Individuals want to hurt people.

Let me put your asinine statement in your terms: True or False, all gun owners want to kill people?



Excellent statement. Unless they're asking an appropriate question at an appropriate time (e.g. "where is gate C-xx"?) I usually give them a stupid look and walk away.

Ahhhhh yes, the age old liberal battle cry: "Anyone who doesn't agree with me is a racist, facist, sexist, biggoted, right-wing, whoremonger." I grew up surrounded by this attitude, and it wears thin.

You are the typical closed minded liberal who is the biggest of all hypocrites...you preach acceptance and openess, but you are amonst the most closed minded of groups.

P.S. I am a gun owner, who HAS used a gun to lawfully defend myself.

Only because I thought they made a clever and ironic noose with which to hang my Lamar, Spike, and Art Thomas dolls in effigy from my rear-view mirror. I ripped the head off my Dupont doll and skewered it on an AOA vane. It was wicked cool.

I remember back in the day when Spike used to wear a "WWJD" lanyard.

 

[ToiletDuck]

I'm bigger than jesus. He was only like 150lbs.

 

[Q400 Gear Bitch]

I remember back in the day when Spike used to wear a "WWJD" lanyard.

I hear that he's changed that to a "WWKD" bumper sticker!

 

[doh]

The ones you wear on your shoulders already say that. It's implied in a pilot!

You are my hero!:beer:

 

[doh]

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Classic! I love it!

Do you guys/gals think it would be inappropriate for me to wear a Megadeth lanyard?

Absolutely! It has a great beat and you can ROCK to it!:beer:

 

[doh]

No bible thumper (as I'm into my 10th drink or so....), but how about......
"Q: What would Jesus fly into the World Trade Center?? A: " Nothing, it's Mohammed's job."

I'll be happy to make them if I get enough potential orders............

Sign me up dude!

 

[doh]

I love the conditional tolerance of libtards in this country...

You should have told this passenger that salvation of their heathen soul can only come through Grace and acceptance of Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. Then smiled and wished them a very nice day.

I have a University of Kentucky lanyard to wear once the NCAA basketball season starts. Hopefully, I won't have to wear it in shame after every Florida game this season.

The shame is reserved for OSU (they still suck!!!).

 

[doh]

They don't...and if you were referring to my post, you obviously missed the smiley at the end of it. Too bad Flightinfo doesn't have a SARCASM tag...

The original poster was wearing a lanyard that said, only and simply, "I LOVE JESUS". It didn't say "Love Jesus or burn in Hell" or "Christianity is the ONLY way". All the subby was doing was showing his/her opinion; wasn't forcing it on anybody, wasn't telling you or others what your religion should be.

The person that started this thread didn't offer their opinion to any particular person, but they sure got an opinion from somebody who disagreed with them, didn't they?

You have no right not to be offended because someone is simply showing their preference via a sticker or lanyard for any given religion or sexuality or political party or whatever. If you are, you're only making my point about conditional tolerance...and that goes for religious or agnostic, conservative or liberal, etc.

You are going to the penalty box for being reasonable... you are so going to get it!:laugh:

 

[doh]

More like somebody needs some BBQ? What about BBQ? How come we never talk about BBQ anymore? What about an "I Love BBQ" lanyard? I'd wear one of those.

The guys at XJet could have an "I Love Meetball Subs" Lanyard.

At ASA, I have an "I Love Contract Negotiations" Lanyard.

OMG, I would wear "I Love BBQ"! How cool would that be? Mmmmmmm BBQ!

 

[doh]

Mine is black with white palm trees and the In-N-Out burger logo.Take a look:

Now I'm hungry enough to clog an artery!:beer:

 

[LDavid]

Strangely enough, i wear one around that says "Screw, Nut, Bolt" and never hear any commentary.

 

[Uncle Bunkle]

And by the way I'm not a bible thumper either just makng a point.

Bible Thumper!

 

[180ToTheMarker]

You wanna offend folks? How about "Adam or Eve: What Would Jesus Do?"
The male fa's love that one.

 

[Mach 80]

Religion is the biggest con mankind ever perpetuated on itself.

Religious extremism scares me... whether it's Islamic fudamentalist Terrorists bombing the WTC and bridges in Iraq, or Christian fundamentalist Terrorists bombing abortion clinics. Yet the latter is acceptable because it's in the name of Christ.

I'm not sure who you have heard say that anti-abortion killings are acceptable. They have been soundly rejected by all respectable and mainstream pro-lifers. Fred Phelps is not respectable or mainstream.

Why do "Christians" think they get a pass at forcing their religion on other people, but then point at the other religions who do the same as being wrong? Why does every Christian have to be a amateur evangelist?

You are confusing the issue. Christians are commanded to go and tell the gospel, not to force people into Christianity. People of other religions have the same right.

If you don't want to have religious debates, don't wear a Jesus lanyard in public. It's that simple. And if you do, then don't tell me or others what our religion should be. We're not interested in your opinions. Don't get upset when we politely tell you to piss off.

If you don't want to hear religious opinions, then don't comment on the lanyard. I don't wear Christianity on my sleeve, but I don't hide it either. Personally I avoid discussion of religion, politics, or sex on the job unless the other guy brings it up. There is a time and place for everything.

BTW I don't think I've ever thumped a Bible either.

 

[rogerwilcoout]

There is no difference between "liberal" PC and Conservative/christian PC. The only difference is that Conservative/christian PCers have o'reiley and limbaugh to teach them how to act angry at things others would let roll off their backs.

Isn't it possiible that the lady was not pissed about your
"small wiriting" jesus lanyard but, like many people she finds that any lanyard with commercial slogans looks tacky and unproffesional?

Spoken like a true liberal faggot

 

[Scrapdog]

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Classic! I love it!

Do you guys/gals think it would be inappropriate for me to wear a Megadeth lanyard?

Only if you wear nothing else along with it. BTW Capt. Megadeth...please be a dear and get me another OJ and a bag of pretzels.

Show us your potatoe!!

 

[Trogdor]

I want an "I love the Flying Spaghetti Monster" lanyard.

 

[BirdCatcher]

I thought about getting a Cubs lanyard, but I was based in St. Louis when I first started in the airline industry, so that would've required me constantly hanging my head in shame. Then I thought about getting a Bears lanyard, but then I moved to Indy, same problem <sigh>

You should have got one that said "Cardinals take it in their Pujhols"

 

[ArcticFlier]

Mohammad is the Bomb!" lanyard would be funny if A LOT politically incorrect)





That is funny.........................just sayin'

 

[scangadah]

Hey ArcticFlier...Happy Fathers Day!

 

[ArcticFlier]

You too.............love the avatar............really..........GD.

 

[DannyNoonan]

Hey ArcticFlier...Happy Fathers Day!

[ArcticFlier]

those are real

I don't care if they're real or not..............................

 

[lurker]

I can't imagine anyone who dosen't believe in God or Jesus flying me and my family around. We know now what happens when people who believe in Allah take over our planes. I'm not scared to post this and people that disagree can kiss it.

I don't believe in the easter bunny or the tooth fairy either, so that must really piss you off.

and FWIW, I do believe in Jesus. He mows my lawn every week

 

[KingAir1985]

He spends alot of time in my local Wal-Mart...

Hahaha I love it when a captain pulls out his bible to read it in-flight. I'm not sure if I should be scared because he knows something I dont, or scared because he's trying to start up a proselytizing session...

 

[NuGuy]

I want an "I love the Flying Spaghetti Monster" lanyard.

Amen.

I'm an equal opportunity hater...I hate conservatives and liberals equally, and both sects have this country completely FUBARed.

My mother use to tell me that there are two things you don't discuss outside your home, politics, and religion. I wish more people would take that to heart.

Be that as it may, I still will take any opportunity to piss on any liberal or conservative I come across, just to make their blood pressure go up, and of course, for my own sick amusment.

My wife (now ex) became a holy roller bible thumper. In the interest in maintaining some semblance of domestic harmony, I went along to her church with her, which was filled to the brim of self-rightous, intolerant science haters, among other things. I tend to wear my indifference and contempt on my sleeve, so I was greatly amused at their attempts to convert me.

At one point, I was cornered by a gaggle of the faithfull with my wife present, and it became quite obnoxious. So I simply said to the "leader" that Thor would not approve.

"Thor?" she asked. "Yes, Thor, God of Thunder. For you see, Thor is my personal God, and he has promised that if I die in glorious battle during Rangnorok, that I shall be permitted to cross the Rainbow Bridge into Asguard and earn the right to Valhalla".

Now, I don't know beans about Thor that I didn't read in his comic book. But the absolute confusion and abject horror in their face is a memory that I will treasure for the rest of my days. My ex looked like she wanted to crawl under the nearest rock.

A sweet moment indeed. If tormenting them is evil, then yes, I am evil.
