Want to know the truth. The truth is that it is a highly competitive market where there are ALOT more people who want to be flying for pay then there are places paying. If it were not for the power of the Unions they would be paid less and still there would be no shortage of pilots.
I have now decided that you should no longer have any say in anything we do in this world from now on.
Your thinking that ignoring your aircraft for over an hour is a mistake is simplistic idiocy at best. What they did was NOT a mistake. What it was was an egregious (~80min) lack of any attention to an aircraft traveling around 600 mph with over 100 other people on board that you are supposed to be responsible for.
If you think that a pilot that can ever be unaware of everything in his aircraft for that period of time should be given a second chance. Then your "everyone is worth something" attitude as buried itself to deep into your brain for it to ever be of use again.
What these pilots have proved is that with them in the cockpit there are situations in which they WILL completely ignore their aircraft for 30 min or more.
Fire them.
Then nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Marriage used to be between a white man and white woman, or black man and black woman.
That was a law in some states. The bible never stated that marriage was limited in any way other than between a man and a woman. Now. If you have problems with the way states give special privileges to the married maybe that is what you should be arguing about. But do not try and argue what a marriage is and what it is not.
Gay rights activists go too far. It's one thing to demand a right to do what seams right to you, its another thing to lash out against those who express any kind of disapproval..
Let's take away your ability to marry, and then see if you might be so inclined to lash out in any way. Perhaps when your loved one is dying in the hospital, and you are not allowed to go see her. Would you sit quietly by? I doubt it.
Gays have the exact same right to Marriage that straight couples have. I as a straight man can marry a woman. If I were a gay man I could still marry a woman. No discrimination here. All people are indeed treated equally. STFU.
Here is the problem. We don't want it. We don't want bad reception to save.3 MPG. We do not care. For the most part. If it was an important buying decision for us manufacturers would be chomping at the bit to let us know that their windows were better than the other guys. What this is really about is the California state government through CARB grabbing more power for themselves. They want to make our decisions for us. They know better than me what I should eat, when I should exercise, how I should exercise, how often I should wipe away my sweat while exercising and what material should be mandated for use in the towel I use to wipe it away. Now I know that some of you think that is nuts. Seriously though. 20 years ago if I told you that smoking outside would be illegal in some areas you would call me an overreacting loon. The same with helmet laws and seatbelt laws. These are good ideas but I do not need the government to tell some idiot to wear a helmet. If he dies from pure stupidity then so be it. If the stupid do not die then they breed and we get what we have today. Shitloads of dumb fuckers breeding.
The real difference is I can decide to stop giving money to a corporation. Even if it means I don't get the good internet speeds or have to settle for "Free" TV instead of cable or satellite. I can choose to not do buisness with them. Government OTOH... Well you can try to stop giving them your money if you want to. I watch to see what happens.
Not that I want to defend some of the obvious Anti-Microsoft idiots out there. But. Do we really want Microsoft to have input on the design of the next internet protocol? They are not that great at these things. They really are much better at lock in and marketing. Solid, Secure, Failsafe and "Fully implementable by everyone" are not exactly what you think of when you think of Microsoft. It is what I think of when I think of what the next version of the internet needs to be though.
Games though can be different. If they get paid by the ad view (Not by game sales numbers) then it is to the benefit of the developers that the players play the game over and over again. Thereby increasing the ad revenue paid to the developers. That gives them direct monetary incentive to make a better game with more unique content.
Wow. Ummmm. Nevermind. You must have made a wrong turn to get here. You should have made a left at yahoo. Then after about 8 tubes youll make it back home to AOL. have a good day.
Patents and Copyright are not evil. They are in fact a bonus to our society. The problem is with the ways special interests have warped patent and copyright to serve themselves rather than the public good. The pansy ass posters who think that everything should be given away are for the most part DIPSHITS.
Patent your idea. Then don't go around being an ass about it. Don't try to extend your right for 937 years. Do not sue anyone who comes up with anything close to your idea. And for God's sake do not start that crap where you can amend your patent to cover shit it never did in the first place so you can sue someone.
Then you will be a fine upstanding member of the community who dose well and makes money.
It's still the only way to get uncompressed music. Some discs even have full surround sound encoding.
You can get uncompressed audio. You can also use lossless compression on audio files. You just have to not think that all downloads must be in the form of an.mp3 file. CDs can die anytime. I welcome their death. Give me all my music in the latest and greatest lossless compression format and I will always be happy.
The best way for people to get free stuff is if the developers get paid by the number of ad views in stead of game sales. That way the more people who played the game and the more often they play it the more the developer can make. This will encourage developers to make better games that people will play. AND YOU WILL GET FREE SHIT!!:)

Now you have gone and ruined it for the GP. Here he was making a statement and you have to go and fuck it all up for him with facts.

What part of ignoring everything about your aircraft for even 15 min says to you "Second Chance"?
Fire them.
Then nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
gay people can heterosexually marry anybody they want

And they do fail. Till the dumb ass government steps in the way.

(I think I'll go wash my mind out with a good Vodka at this point)
Pot works better.
T-Fal or Calphalon?
Fuck Pot. Skillet. Cast Iron. Works best for everything.

I AM sure the Chinese would NOT agrees with that statement.

Amy. She is semi-hot and super rich.
I have no words for how stupid I believe you to be right now. None.

He could possibly explain it to you better using a car analogy?
I'd still rather see Lois than Marge.
Disturbing and Hilarious at the same time.

If the ad is in a place that an ad should be. Then the idiot is the guy who gets upset cause it's a real ad rather than a fake one. Grow up.
