It's just like how I used to weight 300lbs in high school (I'm 5'7" tall). When I graduated, I got a little careless and let myself go. Got up to 375lbs. I couldn't go up a flight of stairs without getting out of breath. Doctors told me I better get in shape or I was going to die young. I've worked hard for the…

I'm not listening! Avoid reading anything that doesn't line up with my world view or is scary...no matter what 97% of scientists say!

Get this boom-boom shit out of there and we'll talk.

I've been in the military for 16 years and I have never seen that happen. And I fly a lot for my job.

There is a concept in the law referred to as a Bailee/Bailor relationship. I invite you to look into that concept.

You have to look at the laws, but generally speaking when a business takes possession of a vehicle, they become liable for damage that happens while in the possession of the vehicle. So if they take a test drive and get in an accident, the service shop's insurance covers that. Of course some people would try to…

If I let you supervise my child for an evening. And my child dies because you left your toaster by your full bath tub, and that child were to die. You'd be responsible. Granted no death involved in the scenario above. But it's similar.

Fine, but lots of those signs mean nothing.

Really?

Why does a sign matter?
If I put up a sign that says since you replied to my comment I get to nail your wife, does that work?

Disclaimer: If you reply I get to nail your wife/girlfriend, if you lack such a person I get $50.

Why don't we also do that for Police, teachers, Firemen? Where does it stop?

I wore a uniform for years. In my time I learned there are people who expect gratitude for their service and then there are those who of us who just do the job before them.

What freedom of the USA or the citizens thereof is exactly threatened in the Middle East?

With all due respect to the Ranger, you have to understand that not following company policy can get you fired pretty quickly at any job in an airline. Even if it's for a veteran. And the only people who seem to make a big deal out of it are people other than the Ranger himself... Knee-jerk reaction? Veteran good,…

Fighting for our freedom in the middle east?

Oh my god don't say they're fighting for your freedom. The troops in the middle east at the moment are there to fight for the freedom of the countries being overthrown by ISIS, and that has little to do with America or even American freedom. In fact, troops being sent to fight abroad can't ever be fighting for your…

Raise taxes to enable better payment of servicemen, to give them sufficient health insurance and first-class psychotherapy. That shows gratefulness. The military should not ingress into society to force its rules and symbols upon it. It's a lesson Europeans learned from the USA after the world wars.

I'd say paying a better pension and battling psychological sickness caused by military service are far more respectful acts than empty symbolism towards a piece of cloth.

Seems like Foxtrot Alpha slipped over to Flightclub. Seriously, soldiers do their job and get payed for it. It's a noble profession, but so is being a flight attendant.

The coats of first class passengers are hung, the coats of coach passengers are not. This guy flew coach. Why would his coat deserve special treatment? It would be a sign of respect to seat a pregnant lady or an elderly person in first class too, but does that happen when they chose to pay for coach? And what about…
