  94. There is a difference between "bootcamp sucks" and "hey, working-age adult not either in training nor a combat scenario: tf is with your hands in your pockets? Is that a GD HAIR ON YOUR CHIN?" There's a difference between "battle ready" and "don't you dare tell us about any minor mental health or significant morale issues you have or we'll end your entire career because your clearance didn't pass" There's a difference between "get the job done" and "stay up 48 hours because you have duty, watch, PT, training, then all-hands meeting, then duty." People like to talk about "the old days" when it sucked and people were worse to one-another ... but nobody wants to talk about how that old-school mentality is causing less people to join and increases stress on those who remain or the less and less who DO join. The rest of the world lets their Navy drink while off watch at sea and grow a beard ashore when there is no discernable threat to the vessel or the personnel. Literally EVERY. OTHER. NAVY. IN. THE. WORLD. recognizes that these small aspects of personal morale and pride. But not in our Navy! Your face will be bald as a baby's bottom or - so help me God - I'm gonna have the power trip of a lifetime! The best way to describe it is thus: In every military you will you be told that standing vigilant watch is a sworn duty but only in the US Military is making sure a person has been scheduled enough time to recuperate prior to that duty solely a "personal issue," And, a majority of the time, it's sheer pomp and circumstance that is wasting time and adding nonsense. Some Sailor or Marine pop dirty for Cocaine? All-hands on deck for the metaphorical public execution. I guess it's time for the sailors to prove that they can run a mile and a half, despite the largest vessel being 200 yards long and a bunch of Marines whose job is literally to lift weights and do any ACTUAL running across the land should it hit the fan. I don't have to sweep rocks on a gravel pit under pain of criminal prosecution because I lipped to my boss: I have to sweep the floor so I don't have to resweep the floor because the floor NEEDS sweeping. Did it make me a better person? Yeah. But it could have just as easily made me one of the 22 per day. Hell, sometimes it feels like I SHOULD BE one of the 22 per day - but I push on, regardless, because that's what a good Sailor does.

  202.  @StoutProper  my guy you are thinking about humanity in terms of pre-horses and post-horses. If a person lived away from a town then their entire livelihood was hung on a horse. If a person had a horse, they were away from a town. If the horse were stolen, the man and the man's family would be damned. You don't move hundreds of pounds of goods to market on your back. You don't bring back tools and purchased goods from market on your back. The only exception to this were tribal system villages (extremely localized) and nomadic bands (extremely non-localized but wandering in village-size groups). In post-horse cultures that allowed further travel, the people with horses were necessary for movement of goods, services, information, etc. The people who didn't have horses were confined to towns and villages - and could only live communally. Horses were so valued in the economy that people who owned horses were eventually just the top of social hierarchy. If you can't comprehend the economic impact of the horse and how a culture with horses had people who would be damned without one, then you can't grasp why that question is irrelevant. It's like comparing a modern acre to a classic acre. It doesn't make sense to conflate two metrics for comparison with such a leap of innovation. An acre may have been the average land a farmer could till back in the day - but farmers can till tens of acres per day with the minimum viable equipment associated with modern farming equipment. Such is the horse to pre-horse cultures.

  610. I'll tell you exactly why: Lopsided business transactions and the very writing of the law. I took a look over the case and the arguments that Steve didn't go into extreme detail on. 1) Lopsided Business Transactions The dealership was able to not give the person the car until payment had been secured and the Title transferred. They know how this stuff works and your average consumer doesn't (BC actually has good consumer protection laws, unlike the US) so any paperwork regarding liability and insurance and waivers goes straight out the window when the law is regarding that transaction. That is actually what was argued in court, and it makes sense. It's worse because the dealership has to make contradictory arguments: They told the customer that the vehicle was hers, but the paperwork was contingent upon her return. The business cannot have it's cake and eat it, too: either the vehicle belonged to them, or it didn't, and the dealer clearly testified that she was required to return to finalize the transaction. If she didn't, they would have repossessed the car, filed against her credit, gone with criminal charges - the lot. Given those facts, she did not own the vehicle. 2) The Law as Written states, simply, that the titled owner of any vehicle is fiscally responsible for the damage caused by their careless use of the vehicle. TECHNICALLY it's Property - you also can't lend your property to someone when you know that the probability of incident is high that it will be used for a crime. (This applies in America, too. Yes. You absolutely can sue a landlord for letting a crazy random person stay on the property and the person fucking up your property) In this case, the dealership's practice literally lent the vehicle to any jackass that walked through the door that day WITHOUT DOWN PAYMENT (trade in. No cash required) and WITHOUT THE TRANSACTION BEING FINALIZED. The concept you need to remember AT ALL TIMES is Stewardship. If you legally own something then your are required to be a good Steward and attend to that property so that the property doesn't result in harm to others.

  745. This is one of those stories that is so dutifully accounted in logs and tribunals that it is used as a learning lesson for many future ship commanders in reference to how to NOT control a Crew while underway. It's extremely hard to express how much being on a ship for long periods of time does to a group of people. You need to have order aboard a vessel, yes: but you need to have GOOD Order. Order from happiness and pride and success in small intervals. Meanwhile. 4 hours of COMPULSORY dancing is absolutely insane on a 3-tier watch. Not to mention other duties that had to be performed aboard, it had to be physically exhausting to do an 8 hour deck watch (no bagged nasties. Just hardtack), 4 hours of duty, and 4 hours of mandatory dancing. I have no idea where he got the concept of 4 hours of dancing "for health" either. Perhaps this was a measure Blythe instituted under the misguided notion that "if they are busy dancing then they aren't busy gambling or plotting mutiny. Plus, who doesn't like DANCING?!" The truth was that sailors - even today - would literally rather be left to their own devices for a few hours, being free to dance or lul about or to talk smack or play games. Likewise his initial override of the Master's Mate's assessment of the ship's ability to take on Good Hope and subsequent failure to cross was the big turning point for the Crew's confidence in their Captain's ability to lead. >he didn't warn him of a mutiny A Captain who can navigate by the stars but cannot see mutiny afoot before his own eyes is more lost than he realizes.

  1232. I think the crux of the story is that the Colonel's overzealous running of his guard platoon at GITMO was - through the case and investigation - TOO EXTREME for a simple infantry outpost. And Tom Cruise's character is being told to not insult, berate, or badger a high ranking official - even though that is what he knows will set the Colonel off. It's perfectly reasonable to expect an officer to take their job way too seriously. Hell, some of the dumbest shit in the military occurs when an officer or upper NCO feels the need to "make an impression" or to "shake things up" - ruining an otherwise "smooth going" operational pace. I can absolutely see a combat-hardened Colonel coming to another infantry base and bringing that mentality to an easy-going station. I kid you not, when the Marines asked their command for more parking structures at the mountaintop base PACOM in HAWAII, the official, on-record response was "We don't need parking. We need tougher Marines." For a damn administration outpost. The real cross examination you guys should have reviewed in public should have included the use of the Marine Corps handbooks and regulations regarding the question of terminology. Like "where in this book does it say what time chow is?" That's a much more realistic cross-examination piece and displays the character's jack for handling his witness examinations. Anyhow I'm not JAG. I just thought that viewing the entire movie I got a different impression of some of the points you guys brought up in regards to officers and NCO mentalities.

  1336. @Mick Bierbaum  Bruh the work "Wealth of Nations" is literally the founding document of Capitalist markets. He invented the supply and demand curve, described the status of production and sale, described wages, and said that an unregulated market - outside a few caveats - would be self-guided by an "invisible hand." This is THE BOOK that founded the field of ECONOMICS. He was talking about the ideal system where everyone would have the opportunity to succeed at the market. He only had THREE caveats he described were incompatible with the free market and even showed it on a graph: 1) governments taxing imports (mercantilism) 2) systems that allow a single person to own an entire supply of goods (he described this as government but he could never imagine any regular human owning all of the coal or the diamonds etc) 3) landlords - because they literally don't actually do anything that regular people would not do for themselves had they owned the property, and merely exist as parasitic leeches and add to the cost of goods at EVERY SINGLE STAGE of the market. Everywhere you go, every food you buy, there was some leech with NO INVOLVEMENT IN THE PRODUCTION OR SALE OF THE GOOD that had to be paid to do it. Ffs at least government taxes allow you to write off a purchase a an expense - try that shit with your landlord. You clearly have an education that didn't pass 9th grade because every single American in the USA is taught that Adam Smith was the founder of economics and his book Wealth of Nations was used to describe the ability of a nation's economy to thrive. That same book literally says "LANDLORDS ARE PARASITES"

  1657.  @fyrbyrd71  the Horton ruling literally doesn't say anything of the sort nor does the ruling in its entirety address anything regarding driving requirements of individuals. The case is specifically regarding the act of driving in and of itself does not constitute suspicious activity for a reasonable stop or detainment. Nothing about driving requirements, licensing, insurance, speed limits, taxes, or anything else you contributed in your argument is described in the ruling at aaaaaaall. It was about probable cause to stop a vehicle who was not committing a crime to engage in a search for criminal activity. To the contrary: the court admits that everything would have been absolutely 100% legal had the defendant been actually doing something suspicious. He handed the officer the paperwork and the lack of properly transferred title enabled the driver to be subject to arrest. Here is the sentence: Nonetheless, the right of the citizen to drive on a public street with freedom from police interference, unless he is engaged in suspicious conduct associated in some manner with criminality, is a fundamental constitutional right which must be protected by the courts. Misquoting rulings by cherry-picking arguments is silly. It's even more silly when you realize that someone else could go and quote an ACTUAL legal ruling that ACTUALLY says officers have the right to verify ownership and documentation of a driver's compliance with the law when stopped with probable cause. In fact, Kansas v. Glover EXPLICITLY OUTLINES that an officer is allowed to verify documents if they have reasonable suspicion to initiate a stop. And the Glover ruling - unlike your two misquoted cases - is from the ACTUAL Supreme Court, not any single STATE Supreme Court.

  2293.  @jacobhargiss3839  "governments and private companies think about cost first and foremost" Remind me, sir: Where is the for-profit motive of governments to deny coverage to their citizens? Because that is a situation that uniquely doesn't exist in Nationalized Healthcare. Government services operate at a loss because they are providing a PUBLIC SERVICE. >How do you run a country if you expend every dime on a whim? 1) the board that denied covering the continued care clearly outlined their reasons for not providing anymore care. Not once does it mention money or costs or even the risk to the patient for surgery, and entirely addresses the inhumanity of keeping a dead person alive in perpetuity. They made it abundantly clear that keeping someone who was clearly dead and living on tubes solely for the sake of the family is wrong. 2) private insurance is inherently worse at every level for society - especially Healthcare. If you pay taxes to the government program then they are obligated to provide that service if you meet the criteria. Private Insurance holds no such legal or moral obligation. In fact, private insurance doesn't provide any service and make MORE money by finding every way possible to deny coverage for a service to you - regardless of how much money paid in. Every penny not spent on providing that service is money in the shareholders pockets. 3) The NHS owns the equipment and pays all the physicians and nurses salary, unlike private insurance where they actually own none of the equipment nor employ doctors. The cost of NHS using a piece of equipment that they already own is literally the power to operate it and the technician to run it; The cost of a private insurance company is much more because the hospital can price their equipment and doctors however they see fit - they are billing this service to an insurance company. Such transactions involve paying a bunch of middle-men and administrative personnel who make money by cutting corners and charging outrageous prices to the insurance company. 4) a seven-in-sixty-million case isn't "on a whim."

  2294.  @jacobhargiss3839  I already explained that the government ALREADY ACCOUNTS FOR THOSE in the yearly salaries of its employees - from technicians to specialists - and described that the only expenses are keeping the lights on and medicine, you dingus. I also described how all of those factors make the actual cost of care so so so SOOOOO low that to compare it to "cost of care" in a privatized system with insurance isn't even comparable. As for "shortage of equipment and personnel" - aka allocation of resources - that is literally something that everyone in the world has to do every day and is nowhere near a genuine argument that detracts from my initial statement. A homeless man with cans has to pick and choose when he eats his cans. The UK has more than enough money to keep someone in an extremely rare circumstance alive because NORMALLY people who are brain dead are just pulled off by their reasonable caretakers. In this case and every other case hollered over by anti-nationalized Healthcare people, the magistrates (court officials. Not NHS employees but the actual courts. Totally separate from the NHS) overseeing the process and making the ruling have made it extremely clear that: 1) the doctors - whose testimony has been compelled by the magistrate - have determined that the person was well-passed the point of brain death, 2) the patient will not recover from any further treatment, and 3) keeping a dead body on life support to appease the parents or relatives is cruel and unusual. Cost to the state is such a non-issue that it's not even brought up BECAUSE A MAGISTRATE DOESN'T CARE about costs and the NHS doctors don't care about costs. It turns out that having a brain-dead person on life support is actually stupid cheap, because there is nothing to be done besides check their vitals and change out a couple of bags.

  2474.  @coffinmyface4237  dude CRT literally boils down to teaching Black History beyond slavery and a month covering the same few people in the 60s. "What happened after slavery?" "Oh yeah. So the government paid all the slave-owners compensation for their slaves freedom, and as soon as Reconstruction was over the slave-owning class hurried as fast as they could to systemically keep the previous slaves from being able to sue their old masters for damages, participating in government, and formed the Ku Klux Klan to terrorize and intimidate black persons from voting." "Oh. Damn. Until the 60s?" "Yep. Oh and it's worse. Not only were African Americans segregated nationwide, but they had to deal with discrimination in the military as well. And when they came back from war, they were unable to get VA Housing Loans or government grants due to a mapping process that placed houses near or in minority communities having significantly less value than the same house but not within that community." "That's crazy. I heard about Segregation but not the housing thing." "Yeah. And you want to know the messed up part? Guess when the practice ended." "Um. The 60s?" "No. The 90s - with the Fair Housing Act." "Oh! So that's why all of my black friends live near one-another? That's insane. But what about my other friend who lives down the street?" "There are exceptions to everything : in this case, Mr Hassan invented the hoverboard. But the vast majority of people can't just innovate their way out of poverty. It's a slow, generation-by-generation process in a majority of cases." That's a gist of how Critical Race Theory is taught via History. You don't need to say "white bad black good" to give a child empathy for the plight of others.

  2480. @lastdance2099  It really isn't though. If every attack was to be considered the absolute worst then there would never be any aggravated battery charges. Ever. Because using a weapon means accepting the other party can die. You see how dumb that sounds when you use it in it's legal context? "He could have died so it is attempted murder" then every person who speeds should go to jail for attempted murder since they are committing a crime and they know people can die from it! Jfc the literal difference between first, second, and third degree ('Manslaughter') murder is planning and intent. First degree is when you have both. Second degree is when you have intent but no plan. Third is when you have neither, but you still cause a homicide. Attempted murder requires intent. These two people were shooting at one-another through a car and neither of them saw each-other to take aim. The officer literally shot thru his own car and the suspect shot thru his own car. The officer got winged. This precedent is so old that it's the cornerstone of the Tombstone Trial regarding the shootout at the OK Coral. They had zero intent on killing the men who refused to disarm in town. So when they (the heroes) were brought to federal court to answer for the shooting, they argued that the confrontation was legal and they had no proof of prior intent to simply kill the men (because they didn't shoot the one guy who surrendered) There was TONS of prior intent. They knew that the other party wasn't going to disarm themselves and that they were going to shoot these men dead where they stood, and that it was the result of a grudge and not any matter of law - but it wasn't provable, as they deliberately let the one who dropped his gun surrender himself alive. In the middle of the stand-off.
