  1. Oh, don't get me started.

    All those airlines were told to turn off the instrument during take off. It's is do to the plane being lnger, and the instrument thinking it needs to adjust for stall.

    If you here a pilot was fighting it, it was because that didn't reach out their right hand and flip 2 switches.

    And the Indonesian plane only had Return to base permission, but flew 5 more flights. On top of that, they were getting error lights.

    Protip: Never fucking fly an Indonesian. Their pilot training is... lacking.

    I'd fly in a Max flown by American trained pilots any day of the week.

    Well, no.

    People just don't actually understand value and quality.

    They will spend a dollar a week for a thing, instead of 20 dollars a year.

    The second thing is people can't afford cheaper higher quality.

  7. You are basing that on the assumption the Jesus existed; something we have no proof of either.

    And citing letters the were written and put together 300 years after his alleged birth isn't proof.

    If eSports were Sports they would be called Sports and not eSports.

    They are electronic representations of sports. That's' the point of the 'e'.

    It would be akin to calling a picture of [insert famous sports star here] and claiming that picture is a sport.

    This in no way means they are not legitimate, or wrong, or lessor. Just not literally sports.

    Or, if they're sports, then 'sport' no longer has any meaning what so ever.

  17. Go ahead and start a small ball club called the NFL and see how fast until you're sued.

  18. They old ' You're not a real fan' argument. Typical elitist garbage of someone who doesn't want new fans.

  19. You failed to explain why any of those things are bad.

  20. That makes no sense.

    Are you saying fields are free? That there aren't different companies that make sports games?
    Do you think ll the components in your computer system are free and open?

    e-sports aren't sports, they're ELECTRONIC representations of Sports. That why it's 'eSports' and not 'sports'.
    Why is that so hard to grasp? oh right, people need outrage these days in order to feel like they matter.

  21. Sports fans being violent and scared by a thing they don't understand, shocking,.

    These are the same type of idiots the flip cars and get into fights after a game.
