Umm, could you please link me to a guy who was convicted of abuse without video evidence and allowed to continue playing?

Isn't the area for debate but, it might be in reference to the chain of events since the (apparently untrue) claim about not seeing the full video long ago. Thus, the initial 'penalty' of a 2 game suspension to show their toughness on the matter.

Then, the full video leaks to the public and the public sees how bad the incident was. It then becomes, oops, didn't know how bad it *really* was (apparently a lie) so now it's an indefinite suspension (a few days later and yeah, there's a good chance we'll let him play again after things die down again).

But I don't know. I'm just following the thread rules by posting editorial cartoons and pictures about "Politics & News" that catch my eye. Maybe you could start a thread if it interests you that much.

Of course, but they still seem contradictory. This thread is for sharing political cartoons, etc, it's not so much for discussing them. Right?

In any case, I don't care what others in here think; I don't feel the need to argue over the cartoons that are wrong or misleading, I just keep on scrolling and enjoy the good ones.

Discussion is allowed, its just expected to be kept to a minimum. A one liner seems to fit that.

Also, some of the posts from a certain poster aren't political and aren't funny and/or cartoons. That's what I was pointing out.

While most large airlines reported profits this year, United has lost $103 million in the first three quarters of 2012, with revenue up just 1 percent to $28.5 billion.

While a handful of low-cost airlines have successfully managed to post consistent profits, by and large, profitable airlines are few and far between.

Fast-forward to today’s market and upstart Virgin America: The carrier now has a fleet of 53 aircraft but has lost more than $500 million in its six years of operation, though recently Cush said that the outlook was improving and profits were in sight.

Although carriers are expecting net profits of £11billion in 2014, margins are so thin that the air industry makes less money than the oil industry makes from selling the fuel it consumes.

The figures come from the International Air and Transport Association (IATA) conference in Qatar, where the airline industry is celebrating the 100 year anniversary of the first ever commercial flight, a roundtrip flight from St. Petersburg, Florida, to Tampa, Florida in 1914, costing $10.

Airlines by nature are unprofitable and many have to merge or fail. I collect pilot wings and I have a whole bunch of pilot wings that no longer exist. Braniff, Republic, Pan Am, Western, Ozark airlines, Hooters and on and on.
