I mostly lurk but after what i've seen in this topic I have got to say none of you should be using this as a way to push your religious/atheist agenda. People are dead and you're sitting here saying "If only they were atheists they would still be alive". That's like saying about the people in Las Vegas "If only they didn't like music they would still be alive." Same goes for the rest of you calling him an atheist. It doesn't matter what he believed in, he was a piece of human shit. Its dumb, how about we focus on the real problem here?

If you make a blanket statement like "regulations are bad" i'm going to point out how certain regulations aren't. It's not my fault he failed to clarify the kinds of regulations to which he's opposed. I've worked in manufacturing my whole life. Every company I have ever worked for skirts the rules or outright breaks them whenever they can to turn a higher profit. A machine shop I used to work for had a sink that we dumped waste coolant down that flowed directly into the creek behind the shop. A large commercial refrigeration company I work for currently used to evacuate freon from compressors directly into the air instead of reclaiming them into a pressurized cylinder the way they are supposed to. Without regulation, enforcement, and penalties for not following them companies will fuck over their employees and their local communities without a second thought all to make an extra buck. --- "If you wish to converse with me define your terms" Voltaire |
