Terrible post.

The world is ridden of one less terrorist, without any American lives being lost. It's a shame that airliner was shot down, it really is, but you can't seriously blame the US/Trump for Iran's utter stupidity.

Also, far more lives (Americans) would've been lost had Soleimani been allowed to continue his reign of terror.

It's almost like you missed the entire point.

You got two kids fighting in a restaurant and one crashes into an old lady and hurts her. Are you only blaming the kid who collided with her?

You need to be a bit more specific. Missed one payment and the bank was allowed to take your house? However that could be allowed to happen is crazy .

My loan agreement with Chase allowed me to push a payment to the end of the 30 year loan, thus skipping it at that time. With the 12 new consumer protection laws chase was no longer able to abide by that. I had to fill out a new form that looked at my previous years income so that chase could "assist" me. I made too much the previous year and they deemed my predicament not their problem.
I could only work on a limited basis post op. So my income took a severe hit as my hospital was busy denying any wrong doing. I was paying for everything. It snoballed. New regs plus my hospital actions, i ended up losing my house. It was a bad situation. I don't really rail about it because it was what it was. I moved on.

What amazes me ... and maybe one of the legal beagles here can explain it ... is that financial institutions constantly and unilaterally change contracts by simply sending out a statement that we are doing this ... I always thought that the purpose of a contract was to put in terms the obligations of each side - not a piece of paper giving one side the address they need to tell the other side what the new deal is.

I suppose if i wanted to get a lawyer and fight it I could have. It broke a legally binding loan contract i had.

Seems to be a pretty routine procedure. A guy I do business with just had one; he runs an engineering group in a big gas company and has to stay home for 3 weeks recovering. He’s able to hobble around now but not driving yet.

Knees are really the toughest. The physical therapy is very tough. The newer procedures with knees and hips are cutting recovery time substantially. My doctor is having both hips replaced next week, he's scheduled a month off. I wished him well in his recovery, that's ballsy having both done. Hope your business buddy does well.

No the bully kid with the black eye vowed vengeance and then took out a gun and shot everyone in the restaurant and you want to blame the kid who knocked him down.

So when we accidentally kill ME civilians with drone bombs trying to get enemies, do you blame it all on us or is it shared blame?

I guess you might put it in a little different context. If a ME "flight crew" uses an airplane to bring down a building, were the unlucky passengers on the plane "accidentally killed" or do you blame the ME flight crew for involving the innocents? What about the "collateral damage" if an enemy puts rocket launchers in a school playground and repeatedly does you harm? The collateral damage and unintended consequences blame game can be fun to play. Seems like your view is that we should just leave the ME alone and pray to allah that they don't harm us since we'd show no resolve or take no retribution.

In the end it was the responsibility of the guy with the button to make sure the target was the right target regardless of how the day has gone. Or since we've added medicine to the mix, regardless of everything else that may have gone on. it's ultimately the doctor's responsibility to make sure he's working on the correct knee - doesn't matter if someone rear-ended him on the way to work.

You can pull up plane indents on your phone huff, its not that difficult. Human targets are a different ball of wax. They can't be compared.

It took you like 300 words to say yes, we get 100% of the blame for murdering innocents with drones.

I wish him well too. My next door neighbor, now that I think about it, had both hips done a few years ago and dang if he wasn’t back out gardening a few weeks later. I’ll probably need knee or hip work before it’s all over, to extend my career on the forklift.

So if we pick targets that are harder to isolate from civilians, then it's OK to murder? Different enough ball of wax?

I don't think the dead care about the nature of the accident. The loved ones of dead innocents from drone bombs find no comfort in your point.
