don't they pick totally random people to fly their airplane they travel in, instead of those boring buzzkill voluminously-trained pilots? Why don't they have their next door neighbor or spouse perform surgery on them instead of going all the way over to that big expensive hospital for it?

Oh, right, because they are fucking liars. When the chips are down, they totally defer to experts.

This is a dumbfuck line of argument, made by dumbfucks, aimed at dumbfucks.

Also, he shit-talks religion and authoritarianism there -- HEY MORON, YOUR SIDE IS THE RELIGIOUS AUTHORITARIANS!
