Read about that earlier, I'm glad she was arrested.

Also, her "I'm just a girl" defense pissed me off.

To be fair...she turned herself in. And I'm sure a 14 year old boy would probably say something similar...except he would say, "I'm just a kid" It pisses me off that she said "I'm JUST a girl."

Soo... I think we're on the same page, but are you mad that her defense was that she's female, or that she's "just" a girl as in less than a male?

If it's the second one, why is it okay for the boy to say he's just a kid?

Why are you emphasizing the "just"?

Mad that its culturally acceptable and breed into woman to think that we're not as capable as men.

Yeah, okay then.

While I agree women are minimized in society, I'm still having trouble understanding why it's outrageous for a girl to say that she's "just a girl" because she's a girl. But it's acceptable in your mind for a boy to say he's "just a kid" in defense of their threats?

Why do you think her comments are purely about gender? You think she chose that comment because she made terror threats but it's okay because she's not a full grown man, so she doesn't matter in society? That's absurd. Not everything is this world is about man trying to oppress women.

She chose those words to identify herself as "not an Afghan terrorist" on the scale of "Schoolchild in Amsterdam"-to-"Properly Trained and Motivated Al Qaeda Operative."

IF she had said she was "just a kid" that insinuates that 1) she didn't know better, and 2) is to young to be accountable for her actions....regardless of gender. And I believe thats what she was trying to say...but she didn't. She said that she was "just a girl". That insinuates that because she's a girl, she's not on equal footing with a boy. Young girls have been conditioned to believe that they're not equal to men....whether it be in jobs, intelligence, earning potential, and now apparently fake acts of terrorism.

Some people may lick them... I mean like.

If they sold racy homoerotic postage stamps in America, I'd send a bunch of letters to friends, just to creep them out.

I'd use one to send a letter to Vladimir Putin, thanking him for hosting the Winter Olympics.

Yeah, this was happening as long ago as a couple of years ago with some cam performers that I know...not sure if it was Chase, but one of the major US banks. Its absolutely ridiculous.

It'd be more "Canadian" if they were on their way to Tim Hortons when it happened.

Is this even legal ? You sure need a valid reason to shut down someone's account without his agreement, right ?
Also, the fact that a bank is concerned about morals is just ironic to the highest level.
