| No Chance Outside | Post; Tombstone MentalityI'm intrigued  Charge 7 mentioned it. From what I've searched it looks like an attitude where u don't change anything until some dies from the problem... THEN you fix it.

| Banned | ah! found it....the quote from fight club; Narrator: A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one. Business woman on plane: Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents? Narrator: You wouldn't believe. Business woman on plane: Which car company do you work for? Narrator: A major one. |

| Nuclear Duck Hunter  | Have you heard of "graveyard humor". Sort of same thread but the same type of mindset.
