What the hell is wrong with you?
He does say he didn't mean it in the next line that you deleted for some reason?
Why did you delete it voice?
Is it because it would let you pretend he said something else and virtue signal a bit?
What the hell is wrong with you?
Why do you think a deportation has moral indignity attached to it?
to be fair he didn't actually say he didn't mean it. what he said was 'but no...' that's not exactly an admission that he didn't mean it, it could simply mean that the poster acknowledges it wouldn't be allowed to happen (obviously)......nowt to do with virtue signalling. it was a repulsive statement to make, joke or otherwise.He does say he didn't mean it in the next line that you deleted for some reason?

I didn’t delete anything. I quoted it in full. With or without the deletion of ‘but no...’ the post is utterly rancid and utterly indefensible.So why delete it? It clearly went against the point you're making so you just did it so you could attack the guy didn't you?

Hahs you didn't wuite it in full you deleted over half the post
Namely the bit that explicitly contradicted the first and made it a sensible "but no".
Don't ******** that you quoted in full when you "sniped"
Actually I didn’t even need to quote the post at all. I posted in reply to thevoices post and quoted him. Lololol. I think you’re getting a bit knicker twisted with the wrong person.Hahs you didn't wuite it in full you deleted over half the post

Lets use a little bit of logic here for a moment (i know how advanced of I), the total lack of knowledge of the situation of the convicted deportee is immaterial to the moral indignity of deportation in the first place. The passengers are well within their right to protest, and the airline is within their right to press charges for the time wasted (ultimately up to them).
It can only be pure narcissism driving this. The facts clearly don't matter, they see an opportunity for a riotous crusade and just cannot resist it. They basically scream and shout with their fingers in their ears.
I agree with MookJong that it's narcissism, it's like Puritanism except it's not Christian, it's "look at me and how righteous I am". And I think it's mainly because of social media. If you wanted to show something off before you went to the pub and showed your mates, the scale of 'showing off' was very small for most people. Now you've got everyone and their dog looking at you on instagram. It's insane, classic example: my brother and his wife had their first child on Friday. My mother posted a photo on facebook and asked me to like it (yes like ******* South Park), I asked her why? It's just facebook, I 'liked' the baby when I held it. She wanted likes just so she could have a +1 on her tally of likes. These people feed off these likes as if they're self esteem points or "Look at me and how amazing my life is" points. My question to her was, why the hell do you care so much about likes on facebook? And that's my mum! I would not want to be a teenage girl growing up these days. Social media really is a social ill.I sometimes wonder if a change in parenting styles in the 90's has amplified this kind of behaviour. Many children just don't get told, "no" anymore and some parents are happy to give in to their whims for a quiet life.
It's a long shot but maybe that has some bearing on entitlement issues down the line as people get older. I'd say that might be the case with a mollycoddled nephew of mine.
I'm not a parent and it's probably much more complex so I'm just going by observations of others.

what a silly thing to say.I don't understand why the disruptive passengers haven't been arrested. Maybe they too were ex convicted criminals.
