The Most Evil American? (And Most Evil Brit Too, Why Not?)

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-macaray/the-most-evil-american-in-history-wasnt-even-a-politician_b_6385188.html?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000592 The article's choice? J. Edgar Hoover...and that's not a bad pick...nor are Andrew Jackson for the Democrats, or Richard Nixon for the Republicans. So--Most Evil American...and why not, Most Evil Brit? (PLEASE NOT DUBYA BUSH *OR* OBAMA...let's avoid that partisan cliche and allow history more time to judge both, eh?)

Is Coffee for Closers?

For those of you unfamiliar, the statement comes from a scene in Glengary Glen Ross: http://tinyurl.com/bkyyzlb . Basically it's about how if you want to do something, do it, and about not feeling entitled. I also recently read an article on Cracked which I will link here: http://bit.ly/1epy3r8 . So, how do you guys feel about the message of the speech and the article? Agree? Disagree? Kittens over Mittens? Please discuss.

renewed faith in mankind

Today I got an email granting me an extension on paying for my first term in college I'm not going to go into details but literally 2 hours ago I was convince I wouldn't returning to school. Now I know for sure I am. This gives me absolute faith in humanity and reaffirms my choice in schools.

Race and Ethnicity

Recently, I have been filling out lots of forms. During this process, I have discovered a rather disturbing fact. Apparently, I do not have an ethnicity, nor even a race sometimes. In these forms many ethnicities are listed, from Aleut to Vietnamese. But while many small islands or island groups are present, I can't find Eastern European, or even Caucasian! Why is it that these are not considered of equal value to list as Samoan, or Guamanian?

Don't most passengers in the back die in a crash because they are further from the emergency equipment and crew?

There is actually a slide in the back so I should be okay. I will probably drown while swimming.

Yoyoyozo (65 )

Hellenic Riot (1626 )

By "found it" they mean they found debris in the Sea and 40 bodies so far.

Yoyoyozo (65 )
30 Dec 14 UTC

Well shit. No one survived? There weren't any life rafts or anything? Its only been like 36 hours. That's strange.

Jamiet99uk (865 )
30 Dec 14 UTC

It's not strange - the weather was bad and the debris suggests the plane didn't make a successful water landing. Very little chance of getting into a life raft if the plane smashes into the sea with you inside it.

Yoyoyozo (65 )
30 Dec 14 UTC

I guess that's true. Its such a tragedy. I wonder if any of this could have been avoided, seeing that this is the second time this has happened.

Jamiet99uk (865 )
30 Dec 14 UTC
(+2)

This is not the second time an aeroplane has crashed in bad weather.

Yoyoyozo (65 )
30 Dec 14 UTC

Commercial aircraft rarely have accidents, (I believe there was only 1 other crash this year in Mali) and for this to be the second time this has happened within a year within the same geographic location makes me think that safety standards aren't being followed or need to be updated.

bo_sox48 (5202 )
30 Dec 14 UTC

There will certainly be a review and investigation but my guess is that this was mostly due to poor preparedness for the weather and poor reaction to it. Landing a plane on a choppy ocean has to be near impossible - if the wing even clips the water, the plane is going to tumble, and there is nothing anyone can do. I'm still amazed to this day at the pilot that was able to land safely in the Hudson.

Jamiet99uk (865 )
30 Dec 14 UTC

@ Yoyoyozo: "Commercial aircraft rarely have accidents, (I believe there was only 1 other crash this year in Mali)"

Commercial aircraft losses in 2014 which resulted in fatailities:

Feb 16: Nepal Airlines DHC 6 crashed at Khidim in Nepal, killing 18 people.

March 8: Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 disappeared over the Gulf of Thailand (presumed crashed).

July 23: TransAsia Airways ATR-72 crashed at Penghu, Taiwan. 48 passengers died although some people survived.

July 24: Air Algerie MD-83 crashed in Mali, killing 118 people.

Aug 10: Sepahan Airlines HESA An-140 crashes at Mehrabad, Iran, killing 39 people.

(I am not counting the July 17 downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over Ukraine as an "accident" because it was shot down)

TrPrado (461 )
30 Dec 14 UTC

Make sure to study those crashes, bo.

No one in Japan has guns. Japan has very few homicides. Japan has almost zero instances of police brutality. I have only heard one police siren since arriving in a city of 30 million people. Coincidence, right?

A Thing - 2nd Edition

Hi again!

Domino's Pizza here in Japan is incredibly expensive. A single large pizza from Domino's is nearly 4,000 yen, which is about $35 in the US. Japan has very few obese people. Japan has almost zero instances of bloating before bedtime. I have only seen one person the size of a sumo wrestler (my dad) since arriving in a city of 30 million people. Coincidence, right?
