[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] JK: [i]That the second person deliberatly attacked the first person. There's no proof of this. The action would have to be accidental.[/i] Good point. So say your limo driver does something stupid and crashes into my car. I've only got some bruises, and you're just fine (but minus one bad limo driver). You then grab my wallet and refuse to give it back until I apologize for the accident. Still not get it? And you never responded to my analogy using the Russian diplomats. [i]The Chinese didn't kidnap that crew. They landed on that island of their own will.[/i] Holding someone against their will is kidnapping, is it not? If not, what would be the term? I believe that whether you forced them to be where they are, or whether they came of their own free will is irrelevant. They're still being held against their will. [i]I guess my analogy is incorrect -- Person A would willingly find sanction at Person B's home (where they would be well treated).[/i] But not allowed to leave. A well-furnished prison is a prison, none the less. [i]Maybe a malfunction with the auto-pilot[/i] Those things are as darned near failure-proof as any bit of tech that we have. If there was ANY possibility of one failing, then 24 men and women wouldn't have trusted their lives to one, now would they of? Ziyal: [i]The unfortunate part of the incident at Hainan Island is that perhaps most of the American cultures gravitate toward one thought: that the US and China may eventually come to war.[/i] Well, considering that we got the idea from one of their generals ten years ago, I'd say we have good reason to think that. He even said that it was a certainty, not a possibility. In fact, he's the general running this whole mess on their side! [i]jailing laborers (wha?)[/i] I think he means striking laborers. I heard something about that. [/QB][/QUOTE]
