There are only two current systems that can effectively stop an ICBM, Russia has one, the U.S. has one. The rest of the “tactical” systems are incapable of doing anything because the speed of an ICBM.

I should also clarify, not saying you did not know these things already or were not doing them already. I just always try to help out anyone I can in obtaining a job and help explain some of the tactics used. So my comment was 1. An attempt to maybe help you if you didn’t know some of these things. 2. To help out…

I used to do some recruiting for a large privately owned company(one of the big four), so here is some advice. Filling out online forms sucks, our system... you would have to submit 2 or 3 versions of your resume... know why? It weeds out lazy people. If you’re not willing to fill out multiple forms that take maybe…

Uhhhh... we’ve been fighting in Afghanistan for over a decade... essentially we just dropped a really big bomb. And sure there are some political messages behind this and it is a “show of force” but ultimately nothing that is going to start a nuclear war. Calm yourself.

Because the cost would be extraordinary! Our railway lines are not designed for bullet trains, that means new lines would have to be laid down and that costs A LOT of money. Money which would have to come from the customers that ride on that bullet train. Then you have to still think... the fastest bullet train in the…

Agreed, many better ways of handling this from a humanity aspect and a monetary aspect. This guy WILL sue, he WILL get a big payday(settled out of court most likely) and yeah for me personally, when it comes to paying customer needing to fly or employee needing to fly.... customer would come first. ALWAYS. I would…

1. Security Guards != police. 2. If you refuse to leave private property, security guards have a right to put hands on you in order to make you leave(within reasonable force, for instance if you refuse to leave a bar... that does not give the bouncer the right to hit you with a bar stool but he can put hands on you…

“the asshole” as in not specifically referring to this guy, just people who refuse to leave private property(business) when asked. I realize due to context it seems I was calling him an asshole and that is my fault, should have made that clearer.

I can’t see what the passenger did when the security guard reached over to grab him, neither can you. So who knows what that man did? It very well could be unreasonable force, didn’t even claim it was reasonable, just explained that depending on what he did... security guards do legally have a right to use force and…

Oh yeah, worth avoiding the bad publicity and the inevitable lawsuit that will stem from this that could cost tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. If I had been the supervisor here, and these 4 employees HAD to get on this flight, I would have continued doubling the amount until someone took it. Alright, for…

It’s the legal perspective, not an emotional perspective or based on my personal feelings. Personally, I would have been pissed too and frankly United won’t be getting my money. My personal belief is that a paying customer should NEVER be asked to give up a seat for an employee. I also believe that airlines are shitty…

The “service” is not rendered until the flight is complete and you reach your destination. So this person had just begun “consuming” the product. Like being in a movie theater and being asked to leave halfway through the movie because another employee wanted your seat. Is that bullshit? Hell yeah. Is it legal for them…

Yeah listen, it’s bullshit that United did this. Not arguing there. But when someone is asked to leave(regardless of the reason) and they refuse to... it’s shitty but that person should leave. You are a responsible business owner, I would feel the same way and would fire the employees for their actions(making a paying…

And that’s okay if you don’t agree. But I would ask you to take some time and work in the service industry, specifically as a “bouncer” or “security guard” and see if your opinion doesn’t change. Because legally, the airline was within their rights and this man was not. We’ve already discussed how I feel about their…

He was then asked/told to de-board. Didn’t say it was how they should treat a customer, and you as well as I have the right to not book with United. I’m just telling you how this shit works legally. Just because you bought a plane ticket does not mean you get to fly on that plane no matter what. If they ask you to…

Not saying it’s not bullshit treatment.... that’s not how I would run a business. But this airline provides a service AT THEIR DISCRETION. Just like any other business selling any other service in the United States. Meaning they as a business have the right to deny service to anyone they choose. That’s what they did…

I said that very thing in another comment thread here.... but did the airline fuck up? Yes. SHOULD they have had their employees stay at the airport and let their customers fly? Yes. But for whatever reason, they chose not to do that.... that’s not how I would run a business but then again I don’t have all the details…

Duh, a plane is not a bar... but it is considered private property. Meaning the airline OWNS that plane and therefore has the right to say what goes on in that plane, who is allowed on that plane, and they get to dictate the terms. Much like a bar. I was using the bar as an analogy to make this easier to understand…

NO, that is not a “right”. Just because you paid for a drink at a bar, does not mean you have the “right” to sit in said bar and drink it... same applies to a plane ticket my friend.

There is nothing immoral about what they were doing.... and frankly it’s pretty offensive to compare this to the running of a concentration camp. One key difference being that this guy is a customer, who willingly CHOSE to fly with United... United then had him removed... he refused to leave(illegal and technically…
