back to the analogy this is like the husband has been beating her for 20 years and then he says tomorrow I will use a sledge hammer to beat you


You do realize you can't say "back to the analogy" and then change the analogy.

First you asked me if it is rational for a man to beat his wife for 20 years and if she leaves him, she's the irrational one. I answered by saying, it is "rational for him to believe that she will not leave him".

You then changed the analogy to "she told him that she was going to leave him" and then claimed I was defending wife beating as rational.

And now you brought in sledgehammers.

Like how do you function?


All I am doing it paralleling it to what NK does in the international community.

The original analogy was to be simple to help you understand.
Surely you could see how a man beating a woman for 20 years is being irrational. You did not.

So I further expanded it to assist you by showing what US and the UN did to NK. They escalated. They said don't test nukes or something will happen! That is the woman saying I will indeed leave if you don't stop.

Then I again compared to how NK also has escalated. They threaten to use actual Nukes. They re-started program for inter-continental ballistic missles. This is the husband saying your next beating will be much worse.


So even you who want to defend a stupid statement by this expert for who knows what reason should be able to see that this is not just the same old same old.
This isn't those first 5 years where the man beat the woman and she said "he will stop, I believe in him."

This is where she has had it and told him. And he responded saying I will be worse now. It is escalated.

And if you don't believe that I can give you an article where the Chinese President actually says yes this is true.

Once again, rational actor in the international relations sense, does not mean "good" or "what should happen".

America makes threats all the time.

You don't know what you're talking about. It's why you've been piggybacking other people's argument in this topic. You're simply ignorant.


the old ad hominem when your logic has been destroyed


it is totally rational to ignore warnings from your enemy, the body of world nations and you biggest ally China who gives all your supplies and just go ahead and test another nuke while saying to them all that you will indeed use said nuke wherever and whenever you want /sarcasm

back to the analogy this is like the husband has been beating her for 20 years and then he says tomorrow I will use a sledge hammer to beat you
but thinking she isn't going to do anything about it because she let you beat her with fists for 20 years

It baffles me that people try to justify piracy. Obviously it's at best a gray area morally and legally. Just fucking own it. Where does their desire for righteousness stem from?


there is a caveat that doing work 1 time and getting paid for that work over and over for an unlimited time because of how digital media works is also unethical

imagine if you worked at McDonalds for a day and then for the rest of your life cashed in on it, like that 1 burger you sold, everyday you get paid for that over and over again

so for a small few it is a push against digital media and further how copyright law keeps getting longer and longer before something drops into public domain

more nuanced is the original person who made the software isn't the one who gets the money either, but the publisher

That was exactly my point. It was someone who knows nothing about North Korea mocking someone who knows a lot about North Korea, because something was said that they don't understand.


If a man beats his wife for 20 years
you believe it is rational because he kept doing it for 20 years?

and when she decides she had enough and leaves, she is the irrational one?


This is a pretty stupid analogy, but I'll humor it.

If a man beats his wife for 20 years, and she doesn't leave him. It is rational for him to start believing that she will not leave him for beating him. He could end up being wrong. But it's not an unreasonable belief.

Rational =/= Correct.

However if a man's worst case scenario is his wife leaving him, and he knows the second he lays a hand on her, she will leave him, and he does it, that is an irrational action. It's knowingly acting against his own interests.

She is claiming that he wouldn't do the second thing.


no it a great analogy

just cause it shows how stupid your argument is doesn't make the analogy stupid


btw the US and the UN told North Korea to not do certain things or they will pay
one of those is testing nukes which NK did anyways and is threatening to do again

so as the analogy goes
the woman tells her husband that she will indeed leave him, she is tired of this and he beats her anyways thinking she won't leave

and you are defending that such is rational behavior ITT

I remember reading something about how Saddam kept denying weapons inspections because he was more concerned with scaring off Iran than avoiding US intervention.

Similarly, KJU puts on a show not to provoke the US but to scare off South Korea.


this is back in January

http://nypost.com/2017/01/19/north-korea-plans-to-nuke-trumps-inauguration/

North Korea is “readying two intercontinental ballistic missiles” to “nuke” Donald’s Trump inauguration, it’s been reported.

Military officials say the rogue state wants to send a “strategic message” to the incoming US president by timing launches to ruin his big day on Friday.

In a statement, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the reports could not be confirmed but that the military was monitoring the situation closely.

However, according to news reports in South Korea, two missiles have already been placed on mobile launchers.

The devices “are estimated to not exceed 15m [49 feet] in length, making them shorter than the North’s existing ICBMs.”

“Judging by earlier behavior, they usually like to greet a newly elected American president with some kind of nice surprise like a nuclear (test) or missile launch,” he said.

The threat comes after it was revealed that Kim Jong Un’s military will have nuclear warheads capable of striking US territory within a year.


Since taking power, the North Korean dictator has dramatically increased his country’s nuclear weapons program.


But they not trying to provoke US?

You know most of those rumors about how the NK dictator got hole in ones all the time or how he's the strongest man in the world or some s*** are all based on what Kim Jong-Il claimed himself to be. Kim Jong-Il was a legitimate threat and one of the most modern fascist dictators that existed within even in our lifetime.

It seems like a standard show of power or a following of Kim Jong-Il's patterns as a prerequisite for leading North Korea. Kim Jong-Il was significantly more fucking nuts than Kim Jong Un ever was. Not that it matters though, I'm pretty sure the generals that were alive during Kim Jong-Il's era are much more in power there nowadays, and you'd have to look at them

My point is that you don't really have an argument. This topic is like "expert CIA analyst said something, I think she's completely wrong despite knowing comparatively little about the issue." It's not like you made an argument that he isn't a rational actor. And with no supporting argument, I'm inclined to believe that she is likely right, and you are likely wrong.

Lots of people crap on the pope or the idea of the pope, but if it weren't for that system, Christianity would be in the same f***ing spot that Islam is now. Thus, the bible, despite being "final" is not practiced that way by any Christian denomination. The same isn't true for Islam.


Incorrect. It is actually the Catholic Church that made Christianity close to Islam in that way.
You might also notice that in the New Testament you don't find Christians fighting or killing the Romans for trying to persecute them. Jesus message is to love your enemies and do good to them.

Fast forward 70-100 or so years after pentecost and the Catholic Church rose to power and created armed forces and killed people who dissented from their doctrine and forced people to become Christian. Then you got the crusades and the inquisition.

And why did you have these things? Papal decree.
The bible didn't authorize Christians to kill people, infact it tells them to do the opposite. But the Pope did.

You can actually thank the reformation for depleting Papal power that made Christianity what it is today, else the Catholic Church would still be an empire with armed forces to actually force people to be Christian. Infact, the vatican actually still has military forces just that they don't use guns but pikes.

She believes that Kim Jong Un, like his father, is essentially a rational player who will not launch a suicidal attack that would bring about the end of his regime. “There is a lot of brinksmanship going on, but people can miscalculate,” she warned. “And things could go very, very wrong.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babalon_Working



wow this is some creepy stuff

The Babalon Working was a series of magic ceremonies or rituals performed from January to March, 1946 by author, pioneer rocket-fuel scientist, and occultist Jack Parsons and Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.[1] This ritual was essentially designed to manifest an individual incarnation of the archetypal divine feminine called Babalon. The project was based on the ideas of Aleister Crowley, and his description of a similar project in his 1917 novel Moonchild.[2]



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babalon
Babalon /ˈbæbælən/ (also known as the Scarlet Woman, Great Mother or Mother of Abominations) is a goddess found in the mystical system of Thelema, which was established in 1904 with English author and occultist Aleister

Actually it isn't a mess up of booking. It has to do with crew availability. This wife of a pilot explain it to us people who don't know much about it:

They shouldn’t bump a paying customer for a free employee ride!” I’m afraid you’re going to have to take this up with the federal government, not United. And it’s actually pretty important to you as an airline traveler anyway. They were not ‘freeloading home’. That’s called non-rev and they have to wait in line behind your checkbook and often don’t make it home to their families if flights are booked (believe me, I know). No, this was a must fly, a positive space situation. In layman terms, it means that a crew must be flown to an airport to man a flight in order to avoid cancellation of said flight due to crew unavailability. This is a federal DOT regulation, not an airline one. The airlines are required to do so to avoid disruption of air traffic. In other words, if there are no willing volunteers and they need seats to get a crew somewhere to avoid disruption of aviation flow, they can, will, must by federal regulation bump people for the better good of the 1000’s. Why? Because one cancelled flight has a serious domino affect in the delicate, complicated world of connections and aviation law.


apparently it is literally federal law to bump people off the flight in this case


It's a blogger's word vs numerous lawyers that have said United breached their contract.


lawyers did not say this isn't a law and United's own contract is quite different from DOT regulations which appear to not be so readily found

The only time a passenger will be asked to leave a flight in this case is if the crew is going to take too long to show up or the problem will take too long to be resolved, in which case, ALL passengers will be asked to leave the flight in order to board another plane, and this is done as a convenience to the customer in order to get them to their destination as quickly as possible despite the delay.


Oh? It is just simply a convenience? So you don't actually have to get up and board the other plane? You can just sit there eh?

Idk if I felt they were all that different but I will admit there is a newer NASA photo that makes USA much smaller looking.
Still, we can look at these photos where Africa is center and North America is centered and can only conclude that buzzfeed is wrong.

It's not about "how maps are made", it's the physical nature of observing a spherical object with a 2-dimensional single-point perspective. Notice how America looks insanely different in size between it's first and second picture?

The curvature of the earth is a big factor of it. The earth being roughly a sphere distorts the focal point from which we view images, so some images are stretched out because its relative to the focal point we're viewing it from.

in terms of actual surface area Africa consists of 20.4% of the Earth's land area, so yes this is image is true:

That image does not have the whole world though, only fifteen or s countries.


this is irrelevant because we are looking at both africa and united states

they are both suffering from this curvature in these photos

like it doesn't say "if crew don't show up to flight and plane cannot take off we have right to remove you from your seat"

but that is common sense right?

however, it could very well happen one day that a guy just sits there and is he going to argue he can because of this?

so you also have precedence of other airlines also to look at and many of them do this too

if it is wrong to ask passenger to give up seat for last minute crew change then not just United should be sued by class action for doing this in the past to many people

and if contract of carriage is the end all be all then you cannot deboard a plane when the pilot fails to show up for his job or something like that

That may be true but you don't sit there and argue that when you're asked to leave a plane.

why the fuck not


Because you will be forceably removed from the plane by security and lawfully so. Duh. Didn't you see the video?


Actually, once a passenger has already boarded the plane, United cannot forcefully remove them from the flight.


So yeah, they're 100% in the wrong.


actually they can for all sorts of reasons

you are basically arguing that once on the plane you have a right to be there which is not true

planes get de-boarded all the time

like say the plane won't fly or there is no crew that shows up on time to work the flight
they will deboard the plane

but by your logic I can just sit there and they have no right to remove me

https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2014-12/29/0/enhanced/webdr06/enhanced-buzz-29318-1419829620-9.jpg

is right because of the way map projections are made? yet we can look at the photos ourselves...and we don't see that...

Some people suggest Africa is huge, way bigger than it is represented on a map. Here is what they say:

https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2014-12/29/0/enhanced/webdr06/enhanced-buzz-29318-1419829620-9.jpg

But is it true? Lets look at photos from space:

Huh
Idk but it doesn't look like Africa is as big as they say. USA seems like it would go across the whole top part of Africa, not fit snugly into a half of it. And definitely you couldn't fit all these countries like that. Way way less.

I would find it interesting if they tried to drag off an MMA fighter. Shit would have gotten interesting fast. Race doesn't matter, just someone that can defend themselves in a devilish fashion.


the MMA fighter would be in jail if that was the case because it was Airport Security not United Employees who he would be fighting

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport_police

The City of Chicago Department of Aviation Police perform safety, security and law enforcement functions at O'Hare International Airport & Midway Airport. The department was formerly called the Department of Aviation Special Police. The Chicago Police Department Airport Unit also performs many of the law enforcement duties in and around Chicago area airports.


aka they were real cops who can put you in jail

so if i called someone to kill my gf, and they did it, i would not be held liable if I didn't pay them to do it?

okayyyyy

*makes phone call*


United didn't ask them to beat him up or kill him


if you gf was in your car and you ask her to get out
you call cops saying she is in your car and won't leave
they come and beat her up
then no, you are not liable for them beating her up

yes, but airport security beat him up because united breached their contract with the passenger. so united may still be held liable for it.


I see
if so then they will probably settle rather than risk a jury making interpretative decisions

....you really haven't been following this case have you? Dude got his ass beat over nothing easy 30-50 million dollar lawsuit especially with the media attention.


Who beat him up?
It wasn't United, it was Airport security.

It is like if there is a Microsoft store at the mall. The Microsoft store calls the cops on a dude shopping there.
The cops come and beat the guy bloody. So what now? Sue Microsoft? lol

Actually yes that is indeed how that works Microsoft and the mall would both be liable.Welcome to the law my boy take a seat.


incorrect, Microsoft wouldn't be liable for what the police do

you are confusing if they store was paying salary for a police or security guard to watch it

but I am talking city policy, no affiliation to the store
because united doesn't pay airport security, the airport does, and the city owns the airport

He should sue United for every penny he can get. Fuck them.


what would he sue United for?

for asking him to get off plane then calling airport security?

hilarious you dont see the lawsuit he has.
even lawyers know he has a obvious case and will get paid.

lol



the only case that can be won here is these lawyers prove overbooking or asking customer to give up seat is illegal or bad policy...
which would effect all the airlines not united

which would then make it extremely hard case to prove when FAA (the government) approves and allows it and delta, american blah blah all do the same thing


cause you know...the other part they suing for was done by airport security not United employees


btw a lawyer took the case so it must be winnable is not a good argument
they are no doubt hoping United will settle
