This topic popped up before and it turned into a rather heated debate and I never could understand why.
Note lucky's post and the, I am right and this is the only answer attitude. You don't really wonder why the heated debate do you.
I just stated my opinion like others have. That does not make me pious.
Lucky this is not the first time for this. You may think your posts are one way, but in communication you must put yourself in the listeners shoes. They determine what your post sounds like, not you. Even your use of the word pious is not going to score any points in this argument. The only definition of pious that even comes close to usefull in this is "holier than thou" and in this case if you want to communicate you want to stay away from religious references.
Throw some "in my opinion"s, "I was taught", "I think this or that because" and whether your opinion is based on a personal experience, the experience of someone you know, or just what you think. You'll go a long way to productive dialogue.
There have been many times I've asked you to back up "opinions" of things you've stated quite matter of factly and you don't do it. I must say the bulk of your posts lay down a "I know the answer and i don't care what you know" attitude.
In this case you can't say what you say the way you've said it and expect credulity. You weren't in the room when they decided to put kill switches on these things. You can't know for a fact that emergency was the only valid reason, which is what your statement implies.
If you want to communicate, listen/read what you say before you hit post.
If you want to keep generating controversy, then keep posting the way you do.
Please take this in the genuine spirit of friendly communication in which it was intended.
