Who is dumb and macho, the guy who wanted to fly home to take care of his patients with a ticket he purchased, or the energy drink fueled MMA wannabe dickless slobs who had to prove their self-worth by clumsily manhandling a passenger? It’s the same sort of primitive thuggery that keeps on coming up in police violence…

What isn’t legit about this is the computer doesn’t really “randomly” select people. The airline will give priority to Elite Status members, Business Travelers flyer under their companies preferred carrier agreement, and people on expensive fares. (i.e. the guy who bought the $800 last minute fare isn’t going to get…

Counter-counterpoint: The guy was a doctor who had to see his patients...They could have easily chosen a different passenger or (more logically), put those two remaining employees in a rental car. Mind you, a rental car would have cost the company hilariously less money than housing and paying off 4 stranded…

But you’re still not addressing the fact that your original post described a man who was sitting in the seat that he paid for as “violently resisting”.  

Either you’re missing the point of the post or I am. This post isn’t about the passenger.

Strange answer for a country of “liberty”

The likelihood of there being a doctor with the same specialisms and intimate knowledge of his patients as this guy, available on short notice, is probably lower than there being another United Airlines employee to spend a day covering the one they were transferring.

you already know everything. hell, you’re probably a doctor. you obviously don’t have cancer. some patients have conditions and situations which only one particular doctor in the world fully understands and/or has the ability to treat.

I wonder if there were four United employees in Louisville who could have acted as the flight crew the next day.

How about his fucking patients?

It’s interesting how you define “violence” as getting the shit beat out of you by not moving fast enough. According to other reports, he already said he needed to get home to treat patients, and was on the phone to his lawyer — you can see the phone still in his hand as his unconscious body was being dragged away, by…

Falling in line every time JUST MOVES THE FUCKING LINE.

Every time I’ve witnessed it (it’s been done to my wife multiple times in my presence and my friends) it just makes the woman feel immeasurably uncomfortable, its 99% of the time not the the attention they want. It’s so bad, sloppy horny disaster.

Apparently he thinks that women at bars are like cats in heat waiting for a barbed cock, and they just attract them waving their tails\assholes and males of the species come running. I’m 28 and have been with my spouse for ten years, never dated as an ‘adult’ and even I know that’s not how shit works. My gender has…

I’m getting very, very nervous. So, ok, secret confessions to the anonymous internet: After waiting years to be “ready” my husband and I started trying to conceive last fall. I’m now a week late for my period. And the news is all “Syria is a humanitarian crisis of Assad’s own making.” “Africa is literally starving to…

What struck me was the new breathy girly voice. She’s been in the public eye for years. We know what she sounds like. She has a deep, resonant speaking voice — suddenly she’s auditioning the new, demure, would-never-dream-of-dining-alone-with-Mike-Pence voice?

You are simply continuing to repeat claims about reality that bear no resemblance to the reality I live in. Don’t assume that because I didn’t dispute each claim you made separately, in minute detail, that I agree with any specific piece of what you said.

You are making a lot of assumptions about what life is like for women that have very little to do with reality. You have never experienced life as a shy, awkward, or inexperienced woman, and yet you are full of assumptions about what our lives are like despite being told repeatedly by many, many women that you’re…

you are NOT being oversensitive.

If a 30yo man has “virgin” in his binder, he isn’t going anywhere. He could go to a prostitute, but would that also show up in his binder? If a 30yo woman has “virgin” in her binder, it is significantly much less of an issue.
