Then they should be issued to the public who can't seem to stop shitting themselves every time there is an incident. Frankly I think planes are victims of their own success, so safe that crashes are too unusual and people can't handle it makes them freak out more.

Fact is when this happens it is major international news. That right there tells you something. This is not even worth the time we have spent talking about it, never mind wasting time playing musical chairs every time someone has to take a piss.

... of having a flight attendant stay in the cockpit when one of the pilots goes to the bathroom.

I would have previously said that was too paranoid but apparently not.

The thing is, this really is a freak occurance. So many flights, every single day, over every single city. People need to piss and shit, its simple biology. Every time someone goes for a piss break, someone else needs to be called in? That is just silly and insulting to the people involved.

In the grand scheme of things to worry about, this isn't really one of them. Its ridiculous to feel we need new regulations every time something happens...the next tragedy will always happen. It is inevitable.

I've also lived outside the angloshpere, every single nation has huge glaring problems that people simply ignore because it's part of their culture.

There's no real way to say which one is better, both have their advantages and drawbacks. You may be able to get away with more things in Thailand than the UK, but in Thailand you'll always be a second class citizen, accepted only because you have enough money to live there without working. Any fight between you and a Thai will result in the Thai winning regardless of what actually happens. If you want to live in Asia, you'll have to get used to the corruption, nepotism, tiered society, face, blood money and a lot of other things we would consider uncivilised in Anglo countries.

In the long run, it can definitely make Canada safer. Prohibiting this behavior means that we won't do stupid shit that will cause even more enemies.to appear. The number of threats that the Anglosphere faces that we didn't create ourselves is incredibly small.

you really hold an organization like ISIS and the US Govt on the same moral equivalency?

i don't care how much you hate the USA, you fail the ability of coherent thought if you think the USA and ISIS are morally the same

From a group that made its name slaughtering helpless civilians, I wouldn't expect a whole lot of guile.

Don't be silly - incitement to murder is still illegal. Your link about a public pedophile registry case has NOTHING to do with this.

10% is 10% no matter what the purchase price is, the Proportions are the same.

The only way where they get out of balance is where corporations can purchase larger quantity and get a lower sale price per unit then the smaller consumer for a given item.. So you will not be removing the buying power element, but even then you are capturing the taxes and doing it based on money changing hands.

Look, it is one of those apple fans who talk about apple's "war chest" like it is a badge of honour to overpay for a device to fund said war chest (which by the way is overseas to avoid taxes).

I see, so it IS okay for Apple to strong arm banks into doing things Apple's way, provided Apple's way meets your standard. Funny that.

I mean obviously this is a foul up and both the banks and Apple should work to fix it, they're BOTH responsible. The idea that banks are just helpless ninnies at the mercy of Apple, forced to conduct their business exactly as Apple demands, is dumbass.

Geez, if Apple told you to jump off a cliff, you have to, right? I mean they have "such a large war chest."

At a certain point surely the responsibility of bankers to keep their customers' accounts secure entails-- it's the very basis of their profession.

and anyway, what exactly are they afraid of? Did they even ask to implement the necessary security features? Did they ask, and did Apple refuse? Has Apple threatened any sort of sanctions against banks that don't comply? It's all very amorphous, and again, seems to rely on the idea that bankers have minimal accountability or responsibility, and may respond to undefined, mysterious, and unsubstantiated "fears" without basis.

In the states, we current use magnetic stripe for physical transactions. The "security" offered is in signature. I hate it, it's dumb, it's getting fixed supposedly, but it is what it is for now.

For us, Apple Pay means not having to extract a card, and with Touch ID it offers a somewhat real level of physical security as well.
