You are wrong with "Nailing down the exact statistics is complex" It is simple right at the top. You want to argue to suit your agenda with trivial like " For example, by far the most likely part of a plane journey for something to go wrong is the take-off or landing, and relatively few miles are t...

The average commercial airplane trip is 100-1,000 times longer than any of those other modes, so the per-journey stats end up A LOT closer. But yes, the safety of modern airlines is a technological and logistical miracle and all involved should be congratulated. That doesn’t give Boeing the right t...

It's also not really clear what is meant by "Commercial planes". Does that include Sergey & Sons flying their Polikarpov Po-2 across Siberia for five US dollars and a bottle of vodka? If you narrowed it down to commercial jet-liners operated by first-world carriers, I'm sure the statistics would be ...

Not sure I like the option of removing the scrum option from a free kick. Sounds like a way of avoiding the real issue - better reffing of the scrum.

Just one more thing that Mog is an expert in. Or is it a "forthright opinion" again? :roll: Not an expert. But I do know a bit about this.

Then how silly must those early Zionists have been to leave their safe homes in central and eastern Europa for that part of the word instead of sailing across the Atlantic to the USA?

It's just the sheer number of dead civilians especially children make it hard not to view Israel's actions as particularly abhorrent. I'd wager they've killed a lot more civilians in a few months than they've had killed in 75 years. I think the reason there's so much anti-israel stuff isn't just be...

No. This is ridiculous. Nobody gives a shit who lived there 2000 years ago according to a couple of books. Let's bulldoze all your family's houses to the ground because the aboriginees lived there first. Nobody supports the terrorists. How difficult is this? They have empathy with the many thousand...
