The intimation that the Trump travel bam, is somehow evidence of how airports embody a national psychosis is a silly jab. Throwing out absurd comparisons...what about the different classes of tickets at Disneyland? This article is devoid of intellect and filled with musings.
- throwanem 9y agoThe article is indeed of middling quality at best, and prone to malapropisms. The phenomenon it struggles to describe is real nonetheless.
- jack9 9y agoIs it US society or the US Federal government, which has been divested from the people?
- rhizome 9y agoWhat difference would an answer to that question make?
- jack9 9y agoWhat is confusing about it? It is an attempt to hear any assertion about how the people support the process rather than the process (the tsa or travel ban) being PRIMARILY about us govt self serving, regardless of the citizen interests. Sheesh
- rhizome 9y agoThe US airline industry was effectively nationalized on 9/11, so no, society didn't push for this, if that's what you're asking.
- noonespecial 9y agoBanning a whole class of people because some of them might do (or even have done) bad things is an extraordinarily dangerous idea that can cause some serious problems if it becomes considered fully acceptable. It's also a perfect example of where this "psychosis" is leading us and how its a much bigger problem than an extra hour at the airport spent playing pretend.

Their treatment of women, lgbt groups, free speech, for example are conflict with a harmonious western society. People don’t hate them for believing in their religion, the problem is that they believe in a religion that openly calls for the death of cartoonists, gays and jews or anyone that insults it. If you are one religion that interferes with other people’s ability to practice their faith then that one religion is the problem.

- dang 9y agoResponding to a religious flamewar comment with another religious flamewar comment is exactly the wrong thing to do here, and will get your account banned as well—regardless of how wrong and provocative any other user was.

- 549362-30499 9y agoMuslims, just like Christians, range from so-secular-they-don't-even-pray to fundamentalists eg Wahhabism. So regardless of the blatant unconstitutionality of such a law, it's also just laughably ignorant to suggest that all Muslims believe the same thing and have the same attitude about "western ideals and culture" (whatever that means).
