We already mentioned that strategy in another thread.

In other news, United Airlines requires all women to wear a face veil on flight. Women exposing their face and belly button might cause Muslim men on the plane to go Jihad.

Looks like the banning of religious extremists from flights isn't limited to Muslims:

I like it also when people come in here and say "I can say what I want in the forums, it's a free country"

The whole thing is ridiculous. Basically, people are getting upset over a shirt they can't read. I mean, I suppose the lady who offered to buy him a new shirt deserves a little credit, but even she overreacted to a truly ridiculous degree.

Kanji tattoos didn't become popular in America for many years after World War II. But if they had been popular at the time, I wonder if people would have reacted to them with this same witch-hunt mentality.

Kanji tattoos are rediculous in and of themselves, mostly. I would guess that most people who have them don't actually know what they mean. They just take the artist's word for it.

"See my arm, it says 'courage.'"

"Um, hate to tell you this, Sport, but it actually says 'penis.'"

Yeah, the questions always becomes: Can you trust that mofo tattoo artist ?

Considering she called an "I love NY" t-shirt the "opposite extreme" I would say so.

I have a friend who has her name in Aramaic tatooed on her lower back. In light of this story, I've warned her not to wear anything that might reveal it when travelling.

Pic? I'd like to read it and tell you if it says what she thinks it says.
