Kevin Ryan's lawsuit - Update and Court documents here

[LashL]

I just found a YouTube video by Field McConnell - the guy with the lawsuit against boeing regarding their unsafe 747s.

It's a real work of art... his summary of 9/11 is just something to behold. Especially the bit with the people walking around with model airliners...

No really...

You know, I try not to resort to vulgarities, even by way of acronyms and such, but I just have to say OMFGWTF in response to that video. I mean, it is a given that most troofers are unintelligent, misguided, and ignorant, and it is a given that a few troofers are technically intelligent but misguided and ignorant, but McConnell is completely batcrap crazy.

He's made a similar impression in other circles.

The lawsuit, filed last week, claims Boeing Co. and the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) can't assure him that B747-400 planes are safe. McConnell, who is the process of seeking an early retirement from Northwest, claims the planes are rigged by Boeing and can be remotely detonated.

“We do not believe in any way, shape or form that that is true,” said Pete Janhunen, a spokesman for ALPA, the world's largest pilot's union.
“Our senior lawyer and senior engineer both said that on its face, it's an insane complaint. … It sounds like he's a troubled guy.”

I totally agree! That was the weirdest 9/11 [rule 8] I've ever seen. He thinks the CANADIANS were behind 9/11 and what's with those strange people walking around slowly with model airplanes?.

Is it possible to be intelligent and ignorant at the same time?

Isn't this an oxymoron?

I wouldn't think so. Intelligence is more a measure of your ability to learn. Ignorance is a measure of what you actually know.

For example, I am fairly confident, based on my previous history of schooling etc, IQ tests, military officer intelligence testing, etc that I am very intelligent.

However there are legions of subjects upon which I am grossly ignorant.

Intelligence is the capacity to acquire and apply knowledge. Ignorance is the condition of being uneducated, unaware, or uninformed.

Your intelligence leads me to believe you have the capacity to learn the definitions of those words. Your reply shows your ignorance of them though.

Dr. Greening, your writings show you to be intelligent. Please provide all knowledge you possess on the history and current state of the political parties of the Ukraine.

 

[Apollo20]

NO!

Check the definition: Intelligence means to have understanding. It's not an ability, it's a state of knowledge- the opposite of ignorance, which means to "not-know"

Probably derived from the Greek "gnosis" meaning knowledge.

But more specifically: DIRECT KNOWLEDGE..... i.e. not based on googling!

Ignorance is curable. All you need is the intellIgence to sift the wheat from the chaff.
Stupid is an incurable condition. It is "Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result" **deleted***
And knowledge comes where you find it. See intelligence, above.

Dictionary.com

intelligence
1390, "faculty of understanding," from O.Fr. intelligence (12c.), from L. intelligentia "understanding," from intelligentem (nom. intelligens) "discerning," prp. of intelligere "to understand, comprehend," from inter- "between" + legere "choose, pick out, read" (see lecture). Meaning superior understanding, sagacity" is from c.1430. Sense of "information, news" first recorded c.1450, especially "secret information from spies" (1587). Intelligent is a 1509 back-formation; Intelligentsia "the intellectual class collectively" is 1907, from Rus. intelligyentsia, from Latin. Intelligence quotient first recorded 1922 (see I.Q.).

The Online Etymology Dictionary

It appears you may be wrong in this instance. Intelligence is not about how much knowledge one has, but one's capacity for processing said knowledge.

As I previously said, an intelligent person can be ignorant of a particular subject matter. This does not in any way reduce their intelligence.

Nice cherry pick, Doc. Take things out of context.
It is a perfectly good word. It applies to many ideas, but I try to use "Willfully Ignorant" when talking about people ( I have failed in my attempts on occasion, I admit)--although as Scott Adams points out in "The Dilbert Principle", we are all stupid at times and in some ways.

Actually it's from the Latin "ignorare" which means "to not know, be ignorant of". Same Indo-European root as "gnosis", though.

I see that others have already covered this quite nicely while I was out.

Now, do you have anything at all to say about the subject matter of this thread or were you simply trying (and failing) to score points because you erroneously thought that you had identified a semantic error on my part?

 

[Miss Anthrope]

Well LashL, I see it as a semantic slip on your part, but that's ok, it is very revealing anyway. However, I was wondereing about all the time you are spending "investigating" Kevin Ryan... when you have a "real job"... And I was wondering about Chris Bollyn's case. Why not get into that one too? I know you have problems with all those little guys taking legal action against the big guys...., you know, the ones with DEEP POCKETS! So go get 'em and Lash 'em LashL. You are doing a GREAT JOB FOR JUSTICE!
