[John Lenin]

live on the coast in Southern California and have to deal with the flying advertisements. They are generally quite annoying, not just from the standpoint of the visual, but the planes that drag them make a huge racket and are flying very low. Conversation stops when they fly over as you can't hear anything else.

I go to Huntington Beach frequently and have seen the planes fly over all the time, never were they loud enough to disrupt a conversation. Either you are flayt out lieng or your hearing aid is adjusted way to high. Which is it ?

[Psycho_Bunny]

If you handle all dissension by calling it "irrelevent", then perhaps you are the one who needs to go rant.

Um...I didn't handle your "dissent" because - as I've already stated - it had absolutely nothing to do with the point I was making.

[DLfromthedesert]

If you want to change the minds and hearts of people, you have to go about it in a more intelligent manner.

I am in complete agreement with you.

You said that pro-life activists sometimes go over the line of decency.. THAT was your point. And I said that pro-DEATH advocates ALWAYS go over the line of decency, but YOU don't have a problem with that. I answered your point, how is that irrelevent in any way? Just because you can't handle truth, don't go crying about irrelevency.

I live in Dana Point. They are loud enough to disrupt conversations if you are on the bluffs. They are just off shore at that point and not much hogher then the bluffs themselves. In particular the biplanes are the ones that can stop conversation.

Way to go to the "you must be lying" card.

Since you are the one calling names here...it is you who are lost.. "fetus worshipping religious nuts"...very classy.. I pray to God that you never have any "fetuses" of your own, and if you do, they never realize how disposable they are to you. I'm very very sorry for you, and will pray for you.

"legally enforced biological fetus slaves"

Otherwise known as mothers.. you used to have one..and for some unknown reason she raised a cold unfeeling selfish witch..she must be so proud to know that you think of her as nothing more than a "legally enforced biological fetus slave"..or was she a "biological fetus slave" by choice?

[goodieD]

ahhhhh you signed up today... go back to DU with your ugly talk.. you're not wanted here.

[dighton]

Do any of the fetus worshipping religious nuts in this thread ...

Get lost.

[goodieD]

Only the truly evil would see a gift of salvation and prayer as "condescending piety".. I was honest when I said I felt sorry for you.. you can't have many true friends with an ugly heart that has no pity, no sense of love.. and you, coming from the "party of the inclusive" too.. it's a shame when someone is that empty inside.

Human decency and kindness..it's not just for breakfast anymore..

Great way to inspire pro-life support - wrecking a family day on a beach.

This kind of activity actually drives people away.

Idiots.

[goodieD]

Did you just come here to insult people, or do you have a purpose on this earth? Because right now, you are accomplishing nothing but making a royal fool of yourself.

[goodieD]

Unfortunately this person is already lost.. and will stay that way until they grow a heart.

[dighton]

Oddly enough, I believe that flying gruesome images over the beach is counter-productive for the pro-life movement. But I'm NOT going to stand by while some newbie loudmouth insults members of this forum.

It is not only a Free Speech issue, but here is the only law you need to know. The City cannot by law control the Airspace above it. The Federal Government has given that Authority to the FAA to designate airspace over the entire nation.

For non-residents, here's a couple of inside pointers that may be helpful:

1. the city council person that objected to the pro-life bannners as a specific instance behind her support of the ordinance just had triplets - hardly an anti-lifer;

2. HB is hard-core Republican territory. While the city council is decidely left leaning due to the influence of Bolsa Chica, this is Bush country. You don't think the FAA will have to deal with this?

3. in reference to #2, if they think HB is affluent, what is NB? IMO, it's second only to BH in terms of wealth in SoCal. PLUS, it's also Republican - these are the guys that pay the bills. Anyway, they're getting their own initiative ready shortly, so Bush is gonna have even more noise coming his way from wealthy supporters;

4. last, but not least, the real party campaigning against this law is the owner of 'WhatALottaPizza'. He and the banner companies are claiming 1st ammendment infringement. Last week they had 3 planes flying in formation with a huge American flag towed behind. They looped around and around the main beach area and downtown for about an hour.
