**OT Chinese Pilot **** and other idiots ***

The Chinese Pilot was a victim, of his own stupidity. No one can be saved from their own stupidity. Its like the law of gravity.

Some American Examples:

1) Insisting on taking the boat out in very rough weather.

2) Buying more shares of something because its so far off the high.

3) Believing that expertise in one area lends itself to expertise in another. (Doctors flying airplanes)

4) Being in the wrong place at the wrong time for the wrong reason.

Yep, the Chinese pilot was stupid, it was a self inflicted wound and from that nothing could save him, and no apology is required.

I dont know what i was trying to say in my quote. I think we need to treat russia, china, and japan fairly, urging the russians to embrace democracy, the japanese to embrace capitalism, and the chinese to do both.
I would never make fun when someones life was in danger. Some "Top Gun" pilots from all countries sometimes take excessive risk which often cost them dearly.
