Black Baron lives in Israel, yes, I agree with you on that one. But a question I have for you is who exactly are 'they' that are 'out to get' him?

Well, I can't speak for anyone here but myself, so I'll say that I personally view paranoia regarding 'terrorist' threats to be understandable given past events, but not justifiable, nor acceptable.

Donut can field a couple of questions for us: Mr Donut, would you panic or be terribly afraid if you knew you were sharing an airliner with 14 Irishmen, given the history of 'Irish' terrorist bombings on your home city? If so, why so? If not, why not? Do you feel that you have no choice but to be afraid of potential 'threats', and view all 'Irish' strangers with suspicion and thinly-veiled dread?
