Line from the movie Airport, circa 1:20:40.

I used to fly planes, so I understand getting the mission done is more important, but on rare occasion, saving lives was more imperative.

I'm concerned about these copycat killings/terrorist actions, but what to do?

99% of most ideas aren't viable. I'm interested in hearing about that 1% which just might work.

Why are 99% not viable? Is there something that shows this figure or is it purely your disagreement with what they propose?

No, reallly nothing, jared. They. We. Not making sens is the issue. Most of us don't quite cut the mustard.

We put the prattle out there, yet 99% of the time, it remains prattle.

Not making the grade.
 
I'm sorry mugs, but your usual brilliantly well written post style eludes me in this one.

I quite literally can't read that properly, let alone understand it.
 
I havn't seen this movie, so I guess I'm just missing the point of the 1st post.

Every day we learn new things. Sometimes it's just a small fact or realization. No matter how trivial or random, let's start recording our daily lessons. Please start off with "Today I learned". Keep commentary to a minimum and just LIKE posts. I'll start! Today I learned that you clean up a white hat by spraying some cleaner with bleach on it (rinse before putting it back on your head!)
