gslater Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) I'm actually posting this from a Jeppesen conference room in Denver. Here for a few days of meetings. These nerdy Jepp engineers who all work on creating/updating airport and routing documentation sure do seem to find it amusing that they're now a bunch of international bad boys....

Dave_Schuldt Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 This whole thing will be tossed out. I bet the ACLU plan is to keep it going long enough to make Boeing look bad and think twice before doing such things again. Remember, they sell planes to Arabs. Nothing can scare the shit out of a big company like bad publicity. Quote
fenderfour Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 It's not bad publicity. It's an illustration of what the ACLU doesn't know. There will be zero net effect on Jeppesen and Boeing. Quote

KaskadskyjKozak Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 We all know the ACLU has its orgin in communism That's just plain bullshit and you know it. That sort of talk began back in the McCarthy era. The ACLU will defend the right to free speech, even if a person happens to be a communist. It doesn't make the ACLU a communist organization. From the ACLU website: "The ACLU believes in the freedom of thought, inquiry or advocacy by any individual or group regarding a specific economic, social or political philosophy. That position, grounded solely on the nation's tradition of free speech, means no governmental restriction unless there exists a clear and present danger of illegal action." The ACLU are vipers - the worst that lawyers have to offer. They use the weight of law to foist their agenda on the majority, and have no true interest in any purely idealist motives like "free speech". Fuck them. Quote

Dave_Schuldt Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 How unkind to poke at Delicate Dave's bubble. I never said it was going to work. Public opinion is a funny thing... Quote
Crux Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Then there is always the possibility that willful participation in a conspiracy to kidnap and torture is a punishable offense. Go figure. Quote
