Bus driver texting for 6 minutes straight, how does it end?

Well since it's on the news you should be able to guess the ending :)

On a side note I just looked at the passenger, it's a handicapped person. He's driving an invalid coach I think, that makes this even sadder :(

When you hire a third-worlder, expect third world work ethics.


Whenever I have to do work on my home that takes a lot of people I will ALWAYS hire the Mexican day-laborers instead of some punk white teenager from the suburbs.

Well, your assertion is... that a third-worlder, or member of a peripheral, exploited nation, is Non-White... The only way you could feign ignorance is if this was a printed story with no picture or names.


Racial slur? What are you on about? -Pprt

What they don't tell you is what REALLY happened is that the cognitively disabled person actually had a psychotic episode, went nuts on the bus driver and tied him down to the passenger seat and then took over driving the bus.

I fail to comprehend how saying someone is from the "Third World" is a racial slur. What's the nomenclature these days? Underdeveloped nation? No, sorry, that was 20 years ago. Today it's "developing nation".

Okay, I'll bite and give you the benefit of the doubt and explain to you, like a four year old, what is offensive about your comment:

From the narrator and the specifics of the video, this clip is from the USA, your assumption that this person is not originally from the USA makes a clear statement that there is somehow a difference between white people that came on the mayflower and a Mexican who can in the 1800s and has relatives still living in the united states, but bare a racial resemblance to someone who lives in say Mexico.

The major issue with your statement is that you assumed that this guy, just from his looks, is fresh off the boat or perhaps an illegal immigrant to the USA.

So let me break it down real simple for ya: you assumed that this guy is somehow related to the third-world just because of his looks. For all you know, his family may have been in the USA far longer than what I assume yours has. Therefore, there is a strong racial comment when you call someone a "third-worlder."

It's like saying "Darkie" or "Abbo" or "wetback."

You made an assumption on his background by the simple fact of what he looks like. It is racial. And if you still don't get it, well, you might want to take some touchy-feely sensitivity course designed for such situations.

vairetubesays...

I understand what you want to seem to be saying... you wanted it to be a BillO style comment, Pprt.

Without even getting into Immigration status, here is the logic I used:

We have a subject who is clearly Non-White. His ethnicity is not known, nor is his residency or country of origin.

You refer to him automatically as a third worlder.

The only characteristic one can deduce was used to make this judgement is this man's physical appearance - WHICH IS DUE TO HIS RACE, ultimately.

You are referring to his Race, and quality of work associated with such Race. Whatever it may be.

In this case, he is non-white, yes. This is where you get fucked: The definition of Third World is technically regarding various stages of economic development, or, the position in the global food chain. You might find White people living in a country denoted as being Third World. It's unfortunate for you I just happened to be taking world geography.

This is what you do -- Link race to something ultimately non-racial --- and that's why it's not nice!!!! you wanker you know what you meant.

It is a slur the way you use the word... It wouldnt be a slur if you werent being racist

ah yes, because ethics has everything to do with economical systems and industrialization levels. Well done! no wonder Colonialism came from third world countries..oh wait.

You've digressed but I'll reply in consideration of the effort applied to the above posts.

Absolutely... I meant that work ethics differ across cultures. It so happens that much of the third world is not conscientious or considerate about their occupation.

And when you've got a large portion of individuals (San-Antonio is 60% Hispanic) who do not always share strong American work ethics, the quality of professional services rendered is in direct correlation to that culture.

If Detroit were 80% Japanese, I'm quite certain the area would not be in shambles.

Well you're an idiot then. Thanks for clearing it up. What you've just said is a textbook example of prejudice and ignorance, with no truth to the assumptions, and a narrow understanding of the world and why things are the way they are.

Well done on avoiding any form of respectful and sequential debate by veering into insulting my intelligence.

vairetube, if you'd have any real convictions and the ability to direct them appropriately, I'd have gladly discussed the matter further. Instead, you've delved into the realm of personal attacks and thus there is no point in expounding on the points I've touched previously.

I have worked in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd world countries. You are simply generalizing way too much. Just because there is a range of degrees in business ethics among different countries does not mean you can assume 'that much of the third world is not conscientious or considerate about their occupation.'

At least back up that premise with some sources

Unfortunately, and perhaps because ethics are something unquantifiable, I don't think (and could not find studies with a cursory search) any statistical work-ethic rankings exist.

However, the amount of hours in the average work-week is something published by a source I'm sure we can all respect, the OECD. Perhaps this can be cross-referenced with this list of GDP per hour worked as well as the corruption index (PDF).

Numbers for African/Arab countries aren't compiled by the OECD, but considering arable land use and natural resource availability, a clear picture can arise as to which countries use their time and land most efficiently.

Why does the F ING camera angle change at the moment of impact?

Inertia. The camera's mounted on a bolt or something that's not collinear with its center of mass.

There's obviously more than 1 camera.


Not talking about the cut at 0:13. You get a bit of shaky-camera immediately before it.
