Stupid shit in Medellin

[QUOTE=Nounce;2932779]Have you considered that is only because it is the only reasonable choice?;[/QUOTE]That's kinda the point, right? Why are we harping on boats and ferries when you acquiesce that certain modes of transportation (e. G. Flying) are easily the most reasonable for most people? For international travel, flying is pretty much the only reasonable choice for one reason; time saved. Boats, driving, and trains are all "generally" slower for any trip longer than 4 hours, especially when crossing a body of water. The whole point that has made by many people in this thread over and over again is that flying is the defacto mode of transportation for international trips for "most" people because it's advantages outweigh all of the negatives. This exhibits a major point; Flying is, tangibly, a better quality choice for "most" people in "most" international situations. To tie this back to the main context of the thread, "travel is travel" or "pussy is pussy" is a foolish argument that ignores that certain options are tangibly better than others. Everything isn't some sort of randomized crapshoot where paying bottom dollar to ride in the back of a pickup for 6000 miles is equivalent to taking an economy flight from NYC to Medellin. Busting a nut with a 60 year old crackhead isn't, on average, going to be the same quality as 7/10 25 year old.

[QUOTE]What do you think would have happened if MB admitted that he did not know about the boat and agree with the perspective of the 2%? [/QUOTE]Well, then the previous pages of discussions regarding Medellin taxis and buses wouldn't have happened and his response afterward would have been different. Seems we are still ignoring the major context of the thread to harp on a narrow point that has already been conceded.

Elections in Venezuela today that might end the 25 year Maduro socialist regime and bring quite a big changes to the country. If economic situation improves and hope returns to the people many might consider coming back home.

[QUOTE=TheDerilious;2932928]That's kinda the point, right? .[/QUOTE]The short answer is no, The two cases here are. 1. not able to admit mistake, 2. Not able to put oneself in someone's shoes.

[QUOTE=Nounce;2933526]The short answer is no, The two cases here are. 1. not able to admit mistake, 2. Not able to put oneself in someone's shoes.[/QUOTE]1. he admitted the mistake and refocused the topic to the generalization he was making previously. Some, including yourself, have continued to harp on the point.

2. Generalizations don't deny the existence of edge cases, they simply state that the best way to handle a situation is to resolve it for the majority and then think about the edge cases. It's how human society has lived since the dawn of time. We didn't ban peanuts because a small percentage of the population has allergies.

I'll leave it at this because I didn't want to turn this into me trying to white knight someone else, I was simply annoyed that the broader topic was being ignored and even dismissed because of a small mistake that had nothing to do with the generalization that was being made. If your assertion is that you simply spent multiple posts to make him admit that his ferry example was wrong, but that his overall point (which I agree with) is correct, then there is nothing more to say.

[QUOTE=Woodman09;2933418]Yep-- Those elections shall Be Free and Fair!! If you believe Maduro will lose I have a bridge in San Francisco I can give you a good deal on.[/QUOTE]USAns make me laugh when they ridicule the elections of other countries. What does free and fair mean? Like in the USA where the only electable parties are those that have been bought off by the ruling elites, where the only options are 2 senile old men whose pensions have expired, that sponsor a genocide of women and children in exchange for millions in personal funding. Yep, that sounds like free and fair.

Apparently you don't get the news in whatever sanatarium in which you currently reside, that one of the two old senile white men, dropped his bid for the US Presidency and has been replaced (pending convention confirmation) by a woman of Indian and Jamaican descent.

As for Venezuela, last night the vote count showed the opposition (Edmundo Gonzales) was leading by almost 2 to 1. Yet oddly enough this morning the electoral authority declared Maduro had won with 51% of the vote. Meanwhile almost every Latin American country is calling for a verification of the voting results. So, JustTK-space cadet, it isn't the US that is questioning the results of the Venezuelan "election" it is almost every country in the Western hemisphere.

Its influence in the world is slowly fading as they descend into a the coming hot civil war.

Colombia should give USA two middle fingers up, legalize cocaine and tell the USA to clean up its own house before commenting on others.

Didn't some in the USA give a speech for having a dream about being judged by the content of their character? They put a cap in his ass for saying that shit by the way.

Ok, so the government of the Western Hemisphere is calling out the results of the Venezuelan election. Then what? How about you call out into one hand and shit in the other and see which one comes up first. You want a government to put boot on the ground to fix what you perceive is clearly an internal matter of the Venezuelan people.

They Tried to villify, imprison and finally Assassinate Trump and Failed-- Who Knows what will happen now as the CIA run the media except for X-.

Gentleman you left out the biggest steal in USA electoral history. The Election of the 43rd President of the United States of America for his first term. It was from that moment on that the United States of America lost any moral high ground when it comes to commenting on the democratic process in other nations.

Why is that not surprising?

No the 2000 Election wasn't stolen it was disputed. Why wasn't it stolen? Because the Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision stopped the count in Florida. Nobody knows for sure how it would have ended. I supported Gore and would have preferred his victory but putting partisanship aside no one knows with certainty who won.

BUT if you want to point at elections that were stolen there are 2 real examples. The 1960 election between Kennedy and Nixon was definitely stolen. Illinois decided that election and it is clearly documented that Mayor Daley of Chicago put his thumb and his foot and probably his fat ass on the scale to tip the election to Kennedy.

Also the 1876 election saw the famous compromise where the candidate with the lesser electoral votes was awarded the presidency. Rutherford Hayes became president even though Samuel Tilden had garnered more electoral votes. Again this was corruption at its finest.

It is fine that you have uninformed opinions, SubHuman, just spend a few minutes checking. Or perhaps you belong the Elvis school of facts. If you say it, it must be true, despite the absurdity.
