    #PlaneBreakup is tweeted before a live studio audience.

    It's hilarious. Couple drunk kids who probably planned the entire thing.

    After reading the whole thing, there's no chance in hell this was real.

    It's kind of weird, but the inclusion of the photos also kind of made me cringe and think it crossed the line - maybe because it kind of shatters the "anonymity" of the people and makes them identifiable, possibly. I'm someone who will sometimes share a couple funny or embarrassing things I overhear while at a coffee shop or covering a town meeting, and heck, we have a thread on this board called "dear dimwit on the phone." I think people's obnoxious behavior in public is fair game, and this is probably one of those things that is far older than people realize. How long have tabloid rags been around? And before that, weren't colonial newspapers basically just full of gossip?

    It's plausible to me. "Nathan For You" has basically shown that anything can be faked, but it's not like an airplane is a location that people normally behave more rationally. It's the opposite, because they're all stressed out.

    I would not name people who are at a Catholic church picnic. They may not want their friends to know they are gambling and drinking.

    None. The only thing that would have made this even more fake would have been if all of a sudden the cabin lights go down, some cheesy 70's porn music starts blaring, and she starts sucking him off right there on the plane.

    He "knows" that or he's "been told" that?

    He's been told that because it's true.

    Ask yourself the same question regarding your faith.

    Now try it again, but be honest this time.

    Unlike others, I know the difference between "know" and "believe." No one who follows a religion is considered a "knower." They are considered "believers." And people who don't believe, don't "know" God doesn't exist, either.

    Kind of like with Global Warming, er, "Climate Change."
