Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
What Denninger wants is simply for laws to be enforced... Airlines, Medical costs, etc. I bet you'd like him if you read his blog. He has a ton of business experience already, so it's not necessary for him to do what you say. He's already done it in other contexts.Originally Posted by Martinjmpr

I really don't care what Denninger says. He gets referred to like his blog is written on stone tablets. It's not.
The good doctor's ticket carries rights spelled out in the Contract of Carriage which DOES give the operator some rights to deny him boarding. Where I draw the line on how they handled it was that they boarded him when they let him cross the gate threshold and get on the plane. I know they referred to "denying him boarding" when they first referenced this incident but they always talk about deboarding when they talk about having passengers get off the plane.
Had this been a case where the doctor was complaining about involuntary deboarding after he notified them about issues it creates in medical treatments for patients and he acted calmly and rationally, it would be one thing. The video that went viral didn't show any of the prior situation (as these videos rarely do) but it DID show him going into hysterics and struggling violently. That created an entirely different situation legally and either way, he didn't have an absolute right to that seat on that plane.

Denninger is probably one of the few people who is consistently right not only on actual law on the books but also the mathematical realities of this now failed economy and country. I don't agree with him on everything, but his facts aren't wrong. :shrug:

People in 3rd world countries just biting the bullet and putting up with terrible conditions is exactly what keeps them in a 3rd world country, and is exactly what keeps the country "3rd world." America was born out of an event where a few people decided that they didn't have to take a bite out of every single shit sandwich that live serves up to them. Being tough and resilient is great, until you're so tough, and so resilient that you put up with anything and never create a catalyst for change in your life.
How easy would it be to rewrite Molan Labe's post about people whinning about a 2% tax? There are a lot of contracts where the provider of services gets to write the contract to their advantage, insurance policies being the one most people are familiar with. That said, shitty conditions in contacts exist because everyone just puts up with them. While this particular passenger is no champion of anything I'm talking about, as it seems he threw a fit for different reasons, this event can lead to the population as a whole letting the industry know that they aren't happy with the way business is run. I don't think anything will happen to change, especially since there is a lot more to this than just contact wording, and everything will vote over and go back to normal. By no means is being dissatisfied with something a sign of weakness or being soft.
LCpl Smith would have got up like 99.99999% of us. End of story.

Have to agree. LCpl Smith is a disciplined law abiding citizen who isn't going to get into it with anyone. He wants to see his family but won't cause a scene. He doesn't feel entitled to anything (That's not an implication of entitlement on the original story, just who LCpl Smith is).
I would hope that someone else would give their seat up for LCpl Smith but these days I'm sure that isn't going to happen.
So why are there MP's? If every service member is a cool-headed fellow...
Why should anyone give up their seat for some dude in uniform? What makes him so damn special?
