You think they were doing it on purpose every time someone is in an accident, or you think every time someone says "accident", they're referring to or you're purposely missing the nuance to make a point nobody agrees with, or you think that people in general are not annoyed when someone drives recklessly? If it's the first, I dunno - you're wrong. People aren't. If it's the second, aside from insurance fraud, nobody…

Are they plane crashes or plane accidents ? (Replace "(air)plane" with "car".)

Accidents. The aviation industry is the worst example you could use. Every single time, the goal is to find the issue, NOT the blame. The industry is insanely safe in large part BECAUSE they refuse to frame it as a crash, and instead frame it like an accident.

Maybe if you have zero understanding of things like emotion and humanity, and also cannot tell the difference between an accident and a mass murder . Otherwise, this is surface-level insanity.

This is America. We see constant mass murder of random citizens, often children, via mass shootings. So maybe the question is, why was 9/11 special among murder?

Is this a serious question?

Because it was a terrorist group killing people to make a point, not somebody who has lost their sanity and, failing to have any other outlets, takes it out on the weak.

How are people THIS dense?

Do you seriously believe that among the thousands of mass shootings to have taken place in America since 9/11, none were the work of sane people trying to make a statement? The shooting death toll of people trying to make a statement since 9/11, exceeds the death toll of 9/11.

Maybe you missed that since it's diluted by all the other shooting death of children and random citizens.

Though it would be unkind to accuse you of being that dense.

You didn't specify those - you specified "shootings". It's not my fault you're unable to actually make your point known.

The observation you replied to is that 9/11 is not so different from the mass shootings as you erroneously thought was obvious. You've now been educated to understand differently. I never faulted you for your ignorance.

Yes, I know. 99.9% of those shootings are kids who have zero emotional self-control, zero outlets, zero friends, and access to a gun. It's not a terrorist. There is a dictionary definition of a terrorist. I don't know how much more literal I need to get in order for you to understand you've got zero education to pass on here.

Exactly, that incorrect statistic about the percentage of who perpetrates the shootings is among the things forming the foundation of your argument.

Getting more literal with madeup numbers you imagined that present interpretations incompatible with reality doesn't convince anyone else of your view, though I'm sure you find it effective in showing others that, as you said, any education they have to pass on will be reduced to zero when encountering you.

But if there is blame, pilots will never fly again. They don't receive a slap on the wrist and an "oh, you".
