Comment Re:Like in the Bible! (Score 1) 272

You've provided no backing for the assertion the bible says its "OK" under any circumstances at any time. If you are talking about Adam and Eve, see my previous post regarding that.

Your previous post doesn't help. You selectively choose what made up bits fit your desired understanding, but provide no good reason to accept those additions in the first place.

If there were pre-Adamics, then it is entirely possible that Adam and Eve's descendants all died off while we are descendant from the supposed pre-Adamics, and thus we do not magically inherit "original sin".

Or you could recognize the adhoc made up bollocks and realize it's not true.

Given that the slashdot post is about Korean culture and air disasters, let's stick to that? Do you see me playing the race card? I'm not saying it's racist. I'm saying it's unproven, suggested only by shoddy reasoning. What I see is not people being defensive playing the race card, but people preemptively accusing anyone who disagrees with culturally based explanations as being part of the PC police. If there's anything more popular than playing the race card today, it's people who try to protect their idiotic views from criticism by claiming to be oppressed by "political correctness".

also shutting up about a problem you see to save face(even if risky) is a real asian thing...

Which explains why Chinese history is littered with examples of ministers risking and most often losing their lives while criticizing the emperor, and those ministers later becoming revered as a model for loyal ministers. Please tell us more, since you know so much about us Asians.

I'd like to add that the blog actually reinforces Gladwell's position on the flight 801accident. . . . Not just in Korea, but worldwide. Chatting about the weather.

Gladwell's position is that it is Korean thing. That chatting about the weather is a roundabout Korean way of saying they're in the wrong location.

So you're saying a Korean pilot is like a driver paralyzed from the waist down? I think not. Compare like with like. Prove that the hierarchical thing is at play regarding Asiana. If we're to go by anecdotes, I can conclude a lot of things about Americans I've worked with, or Germans I've worked with. I can prove anything I find agreeable with the right anecdote.
