Fooling Around on Plane, Bad – Threatening the Flight Attendant, Off To Jail

If you decide that fooling around with your girlfriend on a plane is important that is your own business. But when your actions are disrupting other passengers it probably has gone to far. When you start threatening the flight attendants who asked you to stop, odds are you are going to jail just like Carl Persing is after his affair on a flight between Los Angeles and Raleigh, NC.

Oh, and it is narcissistic to pose for a television interview on the subject. Take you licking like a man and keep your dang head down.

Carl William Persing and his girlfriend were seen “embracing, kissing and acting in a manner that made other passengers uncomfortable” during a September 2006 flight from Los Angeles to Raleigh, N.C., according to a criminal complaint.

Witnesses say Persing threatened a flight attendant twice, who told the couple to stop and refused to serve them alcohol, prosecutors said. The FBI met the couple when the plane landed in Raleigh.

Persing, 41, will probably serve jail time for the federal felony conviction, Assistant U.S. Attorney John Bowler said. He was convicted after a three-day trial in U.S. District Court in Wilmington. via kutv.com

Children Bad For the Environment

There is one great thing about liberal advocacy, whatever the cause that is gathering the media’s attention, those with off the wall ideas tend to leech onto it.

A London professor of family planning says that having children is now a danger to the environment. You got that right at home folks, children are the root problem to the enviromental ills. Not that England is even close to replacing it’s population anyway, the birthrate is 1.7 in Britain.

First the mantra was “for the children”   to get the cause de jour to the media’s attention and through the political process. But now these same children are the problem, so now we have to get rid of the children for the sake of the environment. What next, a green abortion clinic to solve the problem of environmentally incorrect children?

God help us all.

John Guillebaud, co-chairman of OPT and emeritus professor of family planning at University College London, said: “The effect on the planet of having one child less is an order of magnitude greater than all these other things we might do, such as switching off lights. “The greatest thing anyone in Britain could do to help the future of the planet would be to have one less child.”

In his latest comments, the academic says that when couples are planning a family they should be encouraged to think about the environmental consequences. “The decision to have children should be seen as a very big one and one that should take the environment into account,” he added.   via  NEWS.com.au.
