Yet another plane crash.

Why are all these accidents happening in this month? Is it August '85 all over again?

In case you don't know, in August 1985 there were three accidents where more than 600 people died in total, and one of them was Japan Airlines flight 123. 29 years later, three accidents with a lot of victims happened. What do you think of this?

It's a top story on the BBC, obviously: three major incidents in 4 months is pretty disastrous for general trust in airlines.

Really? There are about 93,000 flights every single day. Your odds of not having any problems are pretty good.

In terms of percentages yes, but with the recent spat of widely covered crashes it's probably killed a lot of trust in flying for people.

Great Empire of Gamilus wrote:Its official, its a conspiracy!

Now we blame one of the following:

NSA
Space Nazi's
The Russian
Iluminatii
Jews


Rapture.

I can guarantee that the rapture and endtimes is entering into some Evangelic minds at this time what with the tensions involving Russia , Syria and things going on in Israel. However ... for their rapture to be met disappearances and tragedies would have to involve certain kinds of Christians (their kind) , and they themselves , since everyone else is wrong and suppose to be left behind to experience terrible suffering from the fall out.

What are all these Evangelicals going to think when they are still here if some major war occurs. How will they excuse their butts being left behind? Will they blame themselves for not having been right with the lord ? I'm sure their pastors will , but what of the butts in the seat? Will they admit they must've gotten something wrong since they weren't raptured away? Will they change their religious affiliation ? Or will they simply change their theology to fit the situation ?

Edit: Some of this theology is sick. According to at least one strain , only 144,000 Jews are suppose to survive , the remnant. 144,000 Jews left to proselytize the entire world. What is the world Jewish population? I don't know. Since the higher the number I give the worse it looks to Evangelicals theory , let's err on the conservative side. Let's say 15,000,000 total. What percentage of 15 million is 144,000? Less than 1 percent.

Many of them claim that converts aren't counted as Jews (there is a practical reason for this) , since they aren't of a Jew bloodline. Nor do many of them accept middle eastern type Jews as being real Jews (they're dirty arabs etc). So I guess they only include non-converts of Ashkenazi and Sephardi persuasion. These two groups still make up the vast majority of Jews. So let's say 12,000,000. 144,000 of 12,000,000 is 1.2%. Of course , by them not accepting converts as valid that would knock out a chunk of descendants of the Ashkenazi and Sephardi , who over time picked up non blood-line Jews along the way. But we'll nignore that and just go with the 1.2%. Fuck it , let's be liberal and double .. triple the amount of Jews that will survive! 5%! 5% of Jews will survive! Oh how the Evangelicals love the Jews. Any time the name of Hitler rolls off these people tongues should be followed by a lightning bolt searing that tongue.

"conservatives"
" This is a party which never conserves anything. Its history has been that it demurs to each aggression of the progressive party, and aims to save its credit by a respectable amount of growling, but always acquiesces at last in the innovation. What was the resisted novelty of yesterday is today one of the accepted principles of conservatism; it is now conservative only in affecting to resist the next innovation, which will tomorrow be forced upon its timidity and will be succeeded by some third revolution; to be denounced and then adopted in its turn. American conservatism is merely the shadow that follows Radicalism as it moves forward towards perdition. .... " ~~ RL Dabney , Women’s Rights Women, 1871

The fact he didn't think it was a joke says something about how anti-US flaming has gotten to the point where conspiracies are made up just for the sake of controversy.

Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but this is the third commercial plane crash in a seven-day-span. The third.
