"I see that one old man hobbling down the street, I think he may be off his meds. Uh oh, he's looking _crazier_ than usual!"
"Some asshat just drove completely through a red light. I don't even think she saw the thing! License plate #45AhfD... Is Mrs Doris Johnson-Johnson.. seriously? Who hyphenates the same name!? Seriously I can't comprehend that. But I digress. Her address is.."
You touch on a good point that relates to a valid criticism of religion in my opinion - indoctrination. Although my one daughter is well aware of my faith, she herself is a state atheist. When she told me I simply said "okay, that's your choice" because it is. I can't sway her through force, only through example. Frankly I don't see a problem with her beliefs, I teach her how to be a good person without having religious faith and that's what counts.
As for the flawed thinking, I'll readily admit that. I'm far from perfect but my own mind, and processes I create, are capable of handling this failure. I've dwelt in computer science for 15 years and have done quite well with my flawed mind. Turns out my personal philosophy, and that's what this is, doesn't really effect my production of "logical" software.
One of the greatest thinkers in comp. sci is a believer - Donald Knuth (see his talks on God and computing, they closely align with my own views). Could you honestly say his works are flawed because of an erroneous brain? He is a pillar of computing.
Yeah probably a misuse of the phrase irrational. I do have a rationale behind my decisions, they just aren't rooted in traditional scientific logic in the sense I can't prove it in an experiment. Not one that would leave humans alive that is. There is no scientific basis for a belief in God and I'm ready to admit that. I could go off on a tangent about scientific "hints" pointing to a deity but they are nothing concrete. I'm okay with that. I take it as a philosophical belief and not a scientific belief. The idea of a creator is not dangerous so I'm not sure why people are so against it. It's hard to fight the modern image of the interfering Christian so I think the best way is to simply practice my faith and remain. Anything else is meddling and I could care less what others think in their heads.
Also I wasn't talking about distractions on the flight deck asshole. I was talking about interference with avionics. Can you prove they don't interfere? Oh yeah you can't All you can do is read a fucking article on the internet. You can every other arm-chair expert on this board. You fucking know it all huh. Well riddle me this Edward Nigma - is there a Faraday cage around the cabin or something? No? Well I guess it could effect the flight deck then huh? Turns out I actually did have a valid point and you are the fucking troll.
It's hard to speak on being a Christian when some here are against religion in general and very outspoken about it, so I avoid conflict when I can. They want you to rationalize something irrational. To them human emotions are nothing more than chemicals, life nothing more than chance in the dice game of life. I believe different. Some can't accept this and want to change me. You might as well fight the Sun from coming up. My devotion to God is never ending. In my mind science is just proof of a creator, with each piece of evidence adding to the cornerstone of my faith. How can I look at this wonderful universe and assume it comes from chance? I cannot. I still haven't figured out why that bothers people so much. They just love to be right at any cost I guess.
Bullshit you will. I'd crack your fucking head wide open and laugh you fucking limp dick bitch. Fucking nerd hiding behind a keyboard gonna be a big man. I'd like to fist fuck your face to put you in your place.
Pointing out that the OP was unqualified to make such statements is IMHO completely okay. So fuck you if you don't like it bitch. WTF you gonna do about it besides calling me a troll? Nothing oh yeah this is the fucking internet. Nothing. So fuck you.
You sounds like an authority on the subject. What is your FAA AMT/AMTE certification# by the way? An ICAO equal will work too. I'd like to cite your expertise when I pull out my iPhone on the flight deck and start playing field runners.
I say add 20 years for the iPhone and 18 for the Android phones. Those extra 2 years the iPhone user gets will help pay for the remainder of their ATT contract.
Hell we can make a grocery list: Laptop: 20 years. Smart phone: 15 years PDA: 5 years on probation and $200 gift certificate to buy a smart phone. iPad: iLIFE!
If you've ever looked at 4chan add 7 years for bad behavior.
I mean why stop at just one when we can tack on all kinds of useless, unconstitutional, soon to be struck down by the courts nonsense.
Ah there it is. You said the magic word. Policy. In other words politics. I'll leave that to the fools who think they can change human nature with a system.
I think people need to realize also that sometimes it's not a lack of faith in science, but instead a lack of faith in man and their ability to act. It behooves the upright monkey to question. So they do, it's basis of science in fact. But when they question we should scold them? This does not compute.
Seriously, who cares? What is with this obsession with current attitudes towards science? If your science is sound then who cares? I have read at least 3 articles in the past month in the same spirit and I'm finding it hard to agree. Science shouldn't care what the world thinks IMHO. Let people worry about how to treat the message, just be the messenger.
If you think I'm going to argue with someone over their beliefs and refute them with science, then you must think I'm a damn fool. That whole you can lead a horse to water thing. Idiocy isn't a new phenomenon and there is no danger to science in general.
1. The Honda engine was in a Honda platform, not this platform. Engineers shouldn't use inaccurate examples. You cannot calculate the performance without the specifics of the same engine in the new platform in the same conditions. One word shuts that whole argument down: Gearing. So your 8% figure is meaningless.
2. I don't see any claim of being an engineer. Is this based on evidence you've gathered previously?
3. Hyperbole. It's used as a conversation technique to emphasize a point. Learn communication techniques such as these and your life will run smoother. I'd hate to see you watch a TV show and write a dissertation on why Superman is inaccurate.
These guys turned it into a business. That business is apparently booming these days, "interest groups". They are the vocal minority that produce change and we need to stomp them all the fuck out.
So email isn't private and I should consider it public? No thanks. I'll take the "yes this is my private data" instead. Just because someone can read it doesn't mean it's not private. Just like snail mail is private, yet it's in the open, anyone can open it and read it. But no one would consider that public information.
As for public posting, this is why you create pseudonyms. Even if all the data is accurate except for your name. Just don't give them that. So now they know Nigel Weisnewski from Buffalo NY likes cheesy fries. But Nigel isn't real.
Tell me who I am and I'll send you $50. Bet you can't find my name. You may find an alias but not the real me. I think this type of thing will be more acceptable as people realize the implications of having your life exposed. It will be more important to obfuscate your data and people will get better at it.
You know it's funny. These guys spin the word privacy so much that the idea of sharing becomes twisted. Yes I want to share; But with friends, not with faceless businesses so they can solicit me. The idea that these two things are inseparable is idiotic. I share my personal pictures with friends. That doesn't mean I want them beamed to the world.
All of these sites need to stop playing stupid. They know wtf is going on and they know what people want. The problem is their customers are not their users, so the users get treated like chattle to feed the machine.
You want longevity? Heed the wants of your users. It's not hard, and hell you may even make a dime off of it.
Yes but is that really a justification? That's the same argument a child uses - "Well he did so and so". I'm guilty of this myself so I'm not above it. But it's not a sound argument.
Besides, this is not targeted at fanatics; This insult targets most of Islam. Only the most tolerant will accept this, but it doesn't really seem to be a vocal minority crying insult. I could be wrong but it seems like this insults most Muslims.
My personal beliefs are Christian-aligned, so If I gave them one on one advice I'd tell them to grow thicker skin. If you can't take a tiny bit of "persecution", and that's stretching it calling this persecution, then you need more faith in your deity and yourself. Sticks and stones and all that. Especially as we grow closer globally. We're going to see more culture clashes like this.
But all that said, is insulting for the sake of freedom worth the results? If the results are a culture rift then I say no. If the results are a better world, then yeah go for it.
Thankfully we have that freedom to be an asshole, otherwise we may have to be friendly. And we can't have that, people getting along understanding each other's views and disagreeing in a civil manner. Nah we gotta fist-fuck you with assholish behavior to show you how wrong you are.
This whole "social paradigms are changing" nonsense is just that, nonsense. Blasting intricate details of your life to strangers will always be stupid.
Yeah, but it's hard to fight ignorance. To equate today's Germany with WWII-era Germany is simply out of touch. Germany is one of the most advanced and one of the most progressive states in the world. We(US citizens) joke, but we look to Germany for a lot of answers.

LOL, what a crock of shit. I can't believe you were modded insightful. Oh wait, yes I can.
