I’d rather destroy a *comparatively mass produced 115 million dollar plane than a one off 290 million dollar satellite.

Just the airframe, everything else can be salvaged

Wait the military said it was the pilots fault that this $115 million Flying Fortress is a total loss?

It went over it’s designed load limits. The airframe was compromised.

I think empathy also doesn’t equate with an outright emotional reaction, so I’m hoping (and would suspect) the reps would exhibit empathy in more stable forms than an outburst. Obviously, it varies from person to person, but I don’t think my own stints in therapy would have been productive if my therapist hadn’t been…

Yes. Thanks for your comment. I’m deeply confused at the equation of not crying with not having empathy. These are professionals in a professional setting behaving professionally. I have total respect for the frustrations of the students in that meeting, but their equation of visible displays of emotion with…

Almost all students? That’s blatantly false. I certainly wasn’t, and many many students and alum I knew were not. LIke me, there were plenty of lower-to-middle class, minority students (who were on full scholarships).

Its funny how one minor bit of bad reporting leads to a LOT of bad reporting. I’m pretty sure at least half of the other sites which reported on this knew about the mistake, but made the bad report anyways for page views. No way in hell can there be that many bad journalists. Idiots like Joe Otterson on The Wrap are…

Your whole argument relies on the assumption that all Muslims hate the West. This is 100% false.

No one is arguing that this wasn’t Islamic extremism. We’re arguing that we shouldn’t go kill millions of innocent Muslims as a response.

Wow, you’re so badass. You were probably a Navy Seal, huh? Maybe someone should go light a refugee camp on fire. I mean, all the women and children are Muslims, right?

Never read the comments.

Sure, if someone starts conflating one group of radical terrorists in this situation with the millions of Muslims already living in North America, then shit will be lost, because there are already plenty of Muslims living here not causing any shit.

Calling these assholes the scum that they are, that’s well within the…

Why wouldn’t they care? The second anybody says they had beards and looked Arab, shit will be lost over stereotypes and profiling and peaceful Muslims and on and on we go.

I think Buddhists also have different factions and some can be more extreme than the others as well.

I see you are not familiar with how Ebola works.

I blame the English language. It’s not Natasha’s fault that “All you can eat” can be singular or plural (and boo to Denny’s for taking advantage of the ambiguity). This wouldn’t have happened in Shakespeare’s day. When the tavern had an “All thou canst eat” special, everybody knew it only meant thee, not thy whole…
