    Maybe he should also put them into police drug squads, too, for similar reasons.

    My wife claims I'm the cheapest person she's ever met.

    I'm not buying it.

    Which plane caused the event? It’s hard to tell from the angle…I think maybe the far left plane as it looks like its wing hits the
    tail of the plane below it and also the nose hits the tail of the plane in front of it?

    Quite an interesting article. I have hear of her before, and the thing I read about her before was saying that she probably was innocent, but I dont remember the details.

    When I saw that I started this forum thread 4 years ago, I was going to be sure that @George-K was the one who rose it from the dead. 555

    @George-K said in Air China: "Be careful in London":

    @Doctor-Phibes said in Air China: "Be careful in London":

    Comparing London to Chicago, Detroit and St. Louis is a bit much. London has a homicide rate of about 1.27 per 100,000. Chicago is 29.66, Detroit is 41, St. Louis is 87.

    Yeah, that's sort of my point. I wonder if China Air made similar warnings about these cities.

    Not so much any more, but there was (and maybe still a bit) of ignorance about western culture and locations in Asian countries. A lot of it is not intentional, but just because of lack of exposure.

    I think it is becoming better just because it is easier to get information today on other places. TV and movies were big ways people learned about the US.

    Growing up, the best selling toothpaste in Taiwan was a brand called "Darkie" and it had a drawing of a black person on it with smiling white teeth. I had no idea it was rascist. It was just a brand. Just ignorant.

    It is not unusual for Chinese tourists to be pretty culturally insensitive.

    the political parties should be able to make Biden and Trump go away.

    What the fuck is an unmarked vehicle? I’m pretty sure mine would qualify.

    Actually no, I have a scratch on the passenger side mirror.

    I was surprised to learn that they actually sell over 150K of those rocking chairs per year.

    @Jolly said in The Non-citizen Vote:

    Could also be area specific.

    Right, so you really need a broad geographical sample before you can make any kind of assessment. The 'Just Facts' assessment is really anything but that. There's an awful lot of words and assumptions, and not a lot of actual hard data.

    There's an engineering joke about marketing people deducing a trend from at most a single data point.
