While you worry about illogical taxiway seatbelt rules, I'd just like to see a solid halfway honest, intelligent presidential candidate who will seek to solve problems and bring the country together, along with a media that attempted some semblance of balance, integrity and honesty...
But, ummmm, Well, that's the way it is... (insert one-eye-shut, one-eye-open, tongue-out, crazy-face icon)...Merry expletive Christmas! (and happy holidays so as to not offend non Christians).

I am more your kind of person, those who think that the way it is is not necessarily the way it should be, or even that it could be.
A personality that is appreciated by some and objected by many, and that does give me problems (at work, for example).
The "well, that's the way it is" is an attitude that would make my life much easier and problem-free. I just don't find it compelling.
That said, the "well, that's the way it is" has its place in my life too. As the saying/prayer goes:
"God, give me the bravery to change the thins I can change, the resilience to accept the things that I cannot change, and the wisdom to tell one from the other."

I should also say that in principle, I don't object to candidates for office having JD degrees or other legal qualifications. All you have to do is look at our current situation to see what happens when you elect someone who has no knowledge whatsoever of the law! But one would hope that when those folks get elected, they'd do what's in the best interest of all their constituents, not just those in their profession. Yeah, I know, idealism...Be alert! America needs more lerts.

The Christmas in Argentina is still quite different, but it is getting closer to the American style every year (driven by marketing).

Of course we humans mess that up too, just like seatbelts when on an active taxiway- My God and my actions are right...whereas you are going to hell.
How do we teach right and wrong...and what IS right and wrong and who says what's right and wrong??? The Almighty Dollar says what's right and wrong cuz if a passenger falls and bruises his a$$ while on an active taxiway, there will be paperwork...

Been fortunate to have a lawyer friend or two. I think stereotypically they are deeply entrenched in their beliefs and love to argue. That being said, my friends have also been governed by a deep concern for right and wrong.
It's interesting to sit behind my keyboard and pass judgement that TeeVee seems to contain those stereotypes.
And to keep things light- since we have no choice BUT to vote for Lawyers, how about getting Tee Vee to run for president...Eric would be a good candidate, but he's not_a lawyer.Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.

Originally posted by 3WE View PostTeeVee is a tad reluctant to acknowledge that lawsuit fears are a significant part of seatbelts during taxi (even though seatbelt-less busses and trains do challenge the logic).
Tip: Relax. Remain seated at all times, unless the call of nature won't be denied. Unless you have a medical condition or a weak bladder, that should allow you to remain seated on most short-haul flights. On the longer ones, wait for the sign to be turned off. And if that makes you feel self-righteously oppressed, please take the much more liberated and dangerous bus.
