Two British travelers were barred from entering the U.S. after posts on Twitter indicated they had plans to 'destroy America' and 'dig up Marilyn Monroe,' The Sun reports.

Are the people we have screening and doing interview really that stupid?

You could ask the same question about the people in Congress, the man in the White House, the Occupy protesters, most reporters, and a lot of school bureaucrats . . . and get the same answer.

Well, duh! If we don't screen and take a zero tolerance stand on Tweets the Terrrsts will win. Is there a problem with that? Do you hate freedom???

Methinks there's more to this story then a couple of twits.  FWIW, if the Sun reported that British folks talked funny, I'd look for independent conformation.

I have reached a conclusion regarding every member of this forum.
I no longer respect any of you. I hope the following offends you as much as this thread has offended me:
You are all awful people. I mean this *expletive deleted*ing seriously.
