AIRBUS Engineers slam 7E7

[Krusher]

OFF TOPIC ALERT!!

I hate to see airliners go in under any circumstance.

This video of a A320 going in at the Paris Airshow is inertesting only because of the dialog.

They are talking about it being computer controled as it is slowly decending into a forrest.  It didnt do much to boost confidence in computer controlled aircraft.

What kind of enviorment is it when planes like the Spruce Goose get built on goverment money. And only 1 of them gets built.

No matter what you post on this board some american will come on and say that its unamerican. You think that pointing out goverment hand outs to Boeing is anti american.  An employee of one of the many US aircraft manufacturers that got chewed up by boeing over the years might not see it as un american at all.

Its a distinclty american phenominom. You get to define anything you like or more accuratly any opinion you dont like as anti american.

I prefer Boeing Aircraft myself. I want to support a north american aircraft manufacturer over a european one. I am north american after all.  I prefer to do it honeslty and not deride the other guy as socialist because they have admitted that the goverment will back the aircraft factory with subsidies instead of doing it in all the myrad ways that the US goverment(and the canadian goverment with bombardier) does the same thing.

but those split infinitives are like a kick in the goolies.

Where I came from, people who dwelled on very proper grammar were considered pencil neck, nit picking, booger eating, "never get a girl" dweebs, and were used as punching bags for amusement.

Now, you were saying?

Wow, that's some pretty timely criticism.  Next, let's talk some dirt on Eleanor Roosevelt's blatant misuse of petroleum-based hair products during the enforced shortages of 'the war'.  Also, the Glen Miller disapearance is still sizzling, have you heard anything new on that lately?

And where I come from, you're a prize dick - whichever way you cut it.

[majic]

Glen Miller disapeared?  Oh no...

[Dago]

Funny, I see it the other way.

You Beetle made a habit of coming on this board and tearing down everything you could about the USA.  It was unsolicited and uncalled for, and normally always inaccurate.

I responded in defense of my country.

You came on this thread and with nothing of value to add, so you just insult my grammar.

I make light of your comment by making fun of someone who would correct grammar on this board.

You call me a dick.

Look in the mirror extrahunk, and you will be looking at a drunken dick.

But oh how quickly, and conveniently, you forget your own tirade of abuse against France. Nothing of value, just plain old insults. But in your book, France doesn't matter, does it? Just some blot on the globe as far as you're concerned. Keep your mirror. You need it more than me. A-hole.

Lets consider these facts:

1) Your anti-USA garbage started long before I ever disparaged France.

2) You aren't French, they can and have defended themselves without the assistance of a babbling British alcoholic

3) In your drunken state, you started the nastiness in this thread

4) The French government was happy to have Iraqis slaughtered by Saddam Hussein as long as they made money off him.

5) Dowding usually has to step in to most threads and try to defend you as you are incapable of doing it yourself

.... can't people be from this nationalistic crap even on a thread which doesn't originally involve US vs. EU politics?
(those who calls euros as anti-american should look into the mirror as well... just not to get yet another reply faulting just one side.. right now its both sides causing trouble!)

[SFRT - Frenchy]

A couple of years ago i remember Boing sending Airbus a letter explaining that the A3xx would be a big flop and that, as a friend, they advise to stop the dev before Airbus gets hurt economically

[Angus]

Well, the 747 still rocks.....

[beet1e]

Dago - "facts"? Hah! Don't make me laugh. And I never mentioned Saddam/Iraq. Get over your fixation. How do you know I'm not French? How do you know I'm not from French ancestry? You don't. Q.E.D.
