Absolutely. It's nothing new.

I agree that there are people who have strong convictions/opinions that others and I may not agree with. That is their right.
However #1, it is absolutely a possibility that an opinion is wrong. "In my opinion, the sun rotates around the earth." Great. Lovely opinion. Here's a few centuries of science telling you why it's wrong. If you still maintain that opinion while knowing it is factually inaccurate and try to force it upon others, that is poor faith.
However #2, the troll in question has admitted to trolling.
In general, I feel that both sides are too quick to judge and name call. Name calling and personal attacks are poor form. Like most people I am guilty of it; I have hyuge list of nicknames for D2S. I think we should absolutely listen to opinions and beliefs that are opposed to our own. We should also try to understand those beliefs. Understanding can lead to us changing our minds, bc perhaps we were wrong. Understanding can also lead to being able to make a better more effective argument against said opinion. Win. Win.
All of that said, in the case where people are not actually listening to each other it is not a discussion or debate.
So ‘centre right’ they are openly supporting genocide of an Arab population, still subsiding the fossil fuel industry etc etc… A little more the ‘centre right’ I would say.One thing that gets me is the "Radical Leftist Liberal Democrats" shtick. I think many of these people would be shocked to realize that in comparison to other G7 countries, the Democrats are actually Center-Right.
‘Words mean what I feel they mean’.And yet, they are labeled as Communists over here.

I honestly wonder what % of republicans DONT want to turn this into a christian state and theocracy. That is the real threat to me.
I’d like to know the distribution of American Christians between the two major parties. Obviously there are Christian democrats who aren’t zealous about making the country a Christian nation. But if that’s an important issue for you then there isn’t much/any talk of it on the left so you essentially have to go republican because that’s one of their talking points. If you’re a republican Christian and not interested in making the USA a theocracy it’s probably a low priority issue for you since it wouldn’t be detrimental to your lifestyle.
Pesqueeb,you and I spend a lot of time here,for sure I do. I do not go any where else as far as a Website,,sometimes Vital. All I need to know is here,I come here because of a Bike. Every possible topic that is related to a Bike is here. You have to read a lot,but it is all there,and if Avy can not find it,I ask the Mighty Monkeys what my problem is. When you are here reading a Topic,the Boy’s post a Link. That Link is related to the Topic and so I do go elsewhere on the Internet in that regard.
Last ,YT/Radio is where I Listen while Driving. A lot of different Topics on Both sides of the coin. To try and hear both sides.
I do not like the tone of you post. Avy can feel the rage in the letter’s you type right through the screen.
I made a post with Two Fact’s.
1: A Plane,say a Boing 757 Pesqueeb has a Lifetime of 32 years.
I am only off by very little,and you know that. That is because the AL expand’s and contract’s with altitude. It Can Not do that forever. It cracks. It has a life span. I do not need to give you what you already know. Tell us what is the Lifespan of a commercial jet Brother.
How is it I knew it was you’re Baliwick? Because I read the Airline Thread. And I fucking told you Avy’s History of Airplanes. However,you do not remember,or care. Now you put this dumb ass post up.
2: A NucPlant also has a lifespan,just like an Airplane.
I made the statement,then you said it is fundamentally untrue,so You try and disprove me Brother! Good Luck.
Avy
You are an idiot. One Last Time.
An Airplane has a Lifespan,just like a NucPlant. Then time is up to Retire. If you Do Not follow The Rules Set by That Industry,you will Have a Problem. As it turns out,they are close to one another. So here is what you need todo. Beings you said Avy is wrong:
You need to tell All of us here waiting,that an Airplane “Does Not have a lifespan,as well as a NucPlant”. That is what I said.
I read you’re little article. It even says the Average lifespan is 30 years. Is you point that a plane can fly longer than that? Because a NucPlant can still run as well,that does not make it right. You know I am right,but you going down swingin kid.
Avy
and what the fuck is a nucplant? is that it some kind of nut?
The Avy descrambler says..
nucplant = Nuclear power plant.
nucplant = Nuclear power plant.
His he really arguing with a former, long term, airplane mechanic about anything aviation related ?
Gah, I really need to get back to the Green Tunnel…
Gah, I really need to get back to the Green Tunnel…
@Avy
Since I am not an airline or nuclear power plant expert and our local expert refuses to answer, would you mind sharing with me the sources and references that state explicitly:
1. aircraft must be retired after a given “lifespan”
2. the lifespan of aircraft and nuclear power plants is related.
“Do your own research” and “look it up yourself” are commonly understood to mean “I don’t actually know what I am talking about.” So, I am sure you won’t answer like that.

One of my hiking buddies is a Nuclear Engineer. I could ask him if airplanes have lifespans. Surely he can help resolve this.
My dad spent his career involved in the design, manufacture, and certification of nuclear reactors.
According to your so-called article and its fake facts, if I only flew my 747 2 times per year, it would last 8,750 years. I call bullshit on that. You and your article are liars! Jerkface.
The nuclear reactor in the Spruce Goose only lasted for one test flight. Checkmate libs!!!!1
Why would you do that when there are alternative facts available on the internet.
You all are way too uptight. If you didn’t have something to fight about you wouldn’t know what to do with yourself.
DC-3 says HI!
All Aluminum structures have a fatigue life. Some airplanes are built like tanks and can fly for a very very long time, such as the DC-3 and B-52, which will be flying well past their 100 birthday. Modern commercial aircraft are designed around a finite lifespan that is some combination of hours of operation and pressurization cycles, not years. They are designed like this as after a certain amount of time they are no longer commercially viable as newer aircraft will have significantly lower cost to operate because they are more efficient, and require less maintenance. Airlines don't want to buy heavy aircraft that will last longer than they are profitable. However, with inspections and maintenance they can fly for however long someone wants to throw money at it. The decision to retire an airplane is usually a financial one. Relatively new 4 engine airplanes like the A380 and 747 have been retired as they just are no longer profitable. Twin engine airplanes are much cheaper to operate.
F-16s and F-15s can last a very long time as they live pampered lives while F-18s pretty much crash every time they take off and tend to get replaced for fatigue issues.
A-10s and B-1Bs have gone through programs to increase their fatigue life because the military doesn't need to be profitable.
As part of the certification process commercial aircraft are put through a fatigue test that confirms the design calculation for inspection and maintenance cycles, not total lifespan. They put through pressurization cycles and a giant hydraulic rig that duplicates flight forces. This test takes many years to complete.
Steel is different that aluminum. Aluminum structures always have a finite fatigue life, however that life can be a very very long time. Steel structures can be designed to have an infinite lifecycle. Expensive shit like bridges that don't need to be lightweight are designed for infinite life, corrosion tends to be the limiting factor. If anyone wants some chuckles they can read up on NuKlear Reactors here.
