Yay, we're back! I was thinking the zombie apocalypse had finally come, but SF is still here, so all is well in the world.

Oops, I meant ''Evangelicals/Catholics,'' but of course this doesn't cover all the bases. But those seem to be the easy-to-apply labels given when we discuss the ''religious right,'' and the voting issues around them.

Yes, well said - trying to change its image, although Trump has always remained the same. His personality and ego have stayed relatively constant, yet the party’s image seems to be morphing into something else, beyond the MAGA ideologues.

I was referencing who voted for Trump; supposedly, he gained more Blacks this election than his first time around, and from a political stance, I think he swung over some moderates. Important to note that not only whites identify as Christians/Catholic, so that may have impacted who voted for him.

Yea, it’s feeling like a really misguided attempt to “cope” with what happened by blaming minorities. The problem with how DEI is “managed,” in my opinion, is that it has made it easier for minorities to be scapegoated when things go wrong. :(

I’m not really as concerned about mechanical failure as I am the ATC situation. Whether it was Trump’s or Biden’s “fault,” they seem a little short staffed and that collision shouldn’t have happened. I don’t consider it “just an accident,” from the new info coming out about it. It sounded like...

Because we travel in cars more - law of large numbers should correlate with risk. But, I believe you, it just seems like an odd comparison because the vast majority of us spend way more time driving than flying.

I would assume this is due to the number of fatal crashes per mile traveled being dramatically lower in aviation compared to road travel, though. They say most car accidents in general happen a few miles away from your home. On average, aviation accidents are rare events, and sure, because...

I keep hearing/reading this stat; of course there are more car accidents and such - we fly so much less than we drive (unless you're the pilot or flight attendants), so that's why the odds of being killed in a plane crash are way less. Not because driving is more dangerous. This is my logic, and...

''Overall.'' :eek: I guess that there's no perfect world, where it could never happen. I'm amazed so many flights happen every day, without incident. It's pretty remarkable, when you stop to think about it.

Aw, thank you for that. You come across that way, too. I'm actually surprised Trump won, because Harris seemed to be polling well during the campaign, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. I wasn't for her, though - I didn't really like Biden's presidency all that much, and she nodded her...

Should we feel confident to fly? I'm supposed to fly out in a few months to see relatives, and I'm not feeling it. Even if it's rare, I've never felt stressed or thought of the plane actually crashing, although I've always known it's a possibility.

He said I’m important. ^_^ The thing about these discussions - I’ve shared before that I’m an Independent and not a Trump supporter but it’s curious why Democrats blame Trump for why their “side” lost. If KC Chiefs lose in the SB, they’re not going to blame the opposing team, they need to...

It’s as though he knew, that SF would forever silence him. Peace out, MR! :(

I don't think there's enough traffic currently, that it's a problem. But, if the traffic here picks up, it could be harder to contain. If JoeScience gets into a heated debate, and another member in the same debate crosses the boundaries of forum etiquette / breaks the rules, JoeScience shouldn't...

Events that we believe happened by a known process (even if unlikely) are more predictable than events that could have happened by an unknown or undefined process (God, space aliens, etc). If we use this as the hard and fast rule, it's highly unlikely that UAP's are little more than mundane...

I'm not sure if it was on this forum or somewhere else, but I thought that mods on SF used to post using a different font/color and would ''announce'' that they were about to ''moderate,'' in a particular thread that had gone off the rails. I think that the challenge with two accounts for the...

I appreciate this analysis. Serial killers may be a different breed, in that they continue to fly just enough under the radar, to continue on doing what they do. I'm not sure if Luigi had planned to take down more execs, but I hadn't considered that he could have been so confident, that it...

Of course, I’m not suggesting otherwise. But what makes this murder suspicious is this particular CEO was scheduled to go before Congress related to the allegations of his/UHC’s insider trading, a week after his assassination. That’s pretty uncommon.
