Just to walk you trough my reasoning.

Change needs money. That 1,8% can generates lots of money that can be used to fight pollution in other ways. We could easily rise the taxation and that 1,8% could turn in to 1,5% or something.

If we start to ban private jets conpletelly by changings laws, it will be long process and even if one country bans it there will always be poor countries or tax heavens that will find a way to enable it. It will turn in to a game of aviation wack-a-mole and the gran price of that work will be 1,8% reduce in emission.

On the other hand we could make bigger impact from commercial side while not losing tax revenue as much. Its hard to get real numbers but its likely ghost flights alone are close to same pollution as private jets, not to mention that average commercial flights has only 80% of the seats filled.

So my thinking in short is that any impact with banning private jets is dwarfed by anything done in the commercial side.

And im not saying private jets are good. Im against those. People just need to understand that they are very minor part of the aviation pollution.

To be honest the planet does not care how you compute it.

Quick google-fu said private jets are about 1,8% of the total airtravel pollution. If you want whats good for the earth, focus on the half empty and empty commercial flights that big airlines do because they want to keep their hangar places. That makes much bigger part of the overall pollution.

I say: let the rich fly, just make it so they pay enough taxes for it compencate for it.

I somewhat agree, but on the other hand its not the right place to do it.

If somebody would come and play bagpipes, or start yodel in a courtroom or parlament they would be asked to stop too. And i bet if in those cases they would not stop, they would get reprimands too. No matter how cultural it is.

Land mines are a horror of war that bite long after the conflict ends.

I have had always problem with this thinking and im pro mines. Yes it will be sad if children die 10 years from now to old landmine, but its also sad if that child is never born because their parents died fighting in a war.

Yeah and no. Google has been fined for 8b in europe. They make about 100b in a year in eu market.

So they have lost about one months profits in few years.

Its not going to criple them, but its not nothing. And the purpose is not to criple their operation, but hurt it enough so its wiser to make changes rather than keep bleeding money.

Oh. Did your feelings get all hurt and you need to now swear and act like a big boy?

Grow up and learn to talk like adult and maybe people start listening you.

Btw that yle link you like to share is from 2009.

And dont be delutional. In states police has shot people for filming them and you would be in much bigger trouble for cultivating.

And about that picture. Like most people i dont tend to take random pictures in internet as facts if there is nothing backing it up. Especially if the picture comes from somebody who seem to be as polite and well adjusted as you.

So far everything what you have said has only enforced my view that people who have problems with law enforcement are criminals who are crying after they have fucked around and found out.

I dont think you understood my point and to be honest i did wrote it badly.

If you can, take a step back and think pragmatically.

On the one side is the experiences that you and your close circle has. So long in your life everybody who has had the opposide opinion have been untrustworthy persons.

Then the other side. Random person on random forum ranting and telling tales that sound impossible and goes against all of your personal experiences while being agressive and rude.

Can you see why people wont respond well to you?

Also about the hs link you provided is behind paywall. Is this the case in question? isint this a victory? Police did wrong and korkeinoinoikeus fixed it. Sure its shitty for it to be a long prosess, but things with law are slow. No way around it.

About the holding cell incident. I just need some proof other than random picture of something that you say is a holding cell.

Also legal system and prisons in USA are joke, it way too broad subject to speak in here, but if somebody says their private owned prisons, three strike system, legal slavery and system that does nothing to rehabilate prisoners is better than system in Finland i automatically think that they are either uninformed or stupid.

Also cannabis should be legal.

Its pretty hard to belive it when every encounter i personally have with police has been good and fair and everyone i know to hate “pigs” hate them because they have broken the law themself. I think my experience is pretty common one and to me personally, one person ranting online is not enough to change my lifelong experience.

What pictures are you talking about? The one about the holding cell? That in its self does not mean anything.

Im confused. What happened to you?

But you can buy just as good and better wines cheaper and locally if you live in France.
