President Donald J. Trump Inauguration Celebration

It will get heated. Can't take it, don't open the forum.

We tolerate extreme views, assuming no actual discrimination against board-members occurs. We will let snowflakes melt from the heat.

The CBS News article you linked to that focused on praising the airline for not killing anyone while evacuating passengers from an upside down plane rather than asking how the hell the pilot couldn't perform a routine landing is not a problem?

praising the crew for handling an aircraft crash in a way that caused no fatalities is how i read it. if it comes out that pilot error caused the crash, i will adjust my view on it.

I'm not sure, have you seen the video of the plane landing? It's quite clear the pilot put far too much weight on the landing gear and it collapsed instantly causing the plane itself to skid into a firestorm.

I'm perfectly willing to admit I'm wrong if they release the information of the pilot, the experience, etc... I'm perfectly willing to listen to even preposterous things that would not suit my own personal purview. Even recently a good is example is I am still willing to entertain the idea and waiting for proof that Ted Nugent is a pedophile and adopted a child so he could fuck him or her. I am still open to that idea entirely but it seems that theory crash landed harder than the Delta plane in Toronto. So who knows.

i saw the crash. it looked like they hit bad weather conditions and tried to compensate. the plane was coming in really fast, by the reports. fast enough to tear the plane apart if not handled well. maybe that is just trying to protect the crew or something, i don't know. but it seems to fit, so far. also, there was some talk that the airport should have not been operating at the time either, due to weather. again, i don't know.

Lol. I'm just saying I'm not as closed minded or abrasive as I appear to be. Though it may appear that way when I'm randomly shit posting. Which I tend to do quite often and probably go overboard on it. So maybe I'm deserving of the conflict or criticism. :P

I'm obviously not a pilot but they are equipped with unimaginably reliable radar and gadgets that can essentially do a lot of things for them. I have heard that the hardest part of flying a commercial plane is the landing. Even though the landing is routine it can be the most challenging part. So you best be qualified!

oh okay. it seemed like you were still upset over that. :P

i don't think you're close-minded. more stubborn or too proud when you feel like you're onto something. you probably think similarly of me.

No, I think the opposite actually. Your passion or strong opinion of a subject shows, though. I would be surprised for example if you weren't somehow personally affected with the transgender topic in one way or another.

You do. Every subject is controversial and I simply got a sense that the transgender topic in particular may be a pretty personal one for you. It doesn't mean you're too defensive of it.
