In reply to the discussion: is a liveblog of Snowdens movements the biggest troll in history? [View all]Monkie
(1,301 posts)12. what is your reasoning for claiming they wont force the plane to the USA?
how many times have i said i DONT think they will make it have a accident?
just dont say it is impossible is all i am saying.
i think i gave pretty good reasons why the US would feel justified in diverting a plane in international airspace to the US by using a threat. i do respect you but you cant just say "no they wont", thats not a discussion, and where is your basis for saying they wont?
how am i being silly, you are making statements of fact, without anything to back it up and i am being silly when i give concrete examples?

I do take the time to read every uncapitalized word and run-together paragraph you write.

you can chose to believe that, but it is just a belief unless you can give some more concrete
