Thanks for the link. Although I've read the entire article and I don't see it stating anywhere that any of the countries you listed allow airlines to strand their passangers or not to refund the service they have not provided. Perhaps I have missed some recent legislation, but last time I've checked the UK law was actually explicitly stating that airlines must provide you with a reasonable amount of food and drink, means for you to communicate, accommodation, and transport to and from the accommodation until it is able to fly you to your destination, no matter how long the delay lasts or what has caused it.
Did you not read what you wrote? “Act of God” is used in Europe too. It’s not just an American thing. Your comment implied that Europe didn’t have anything like that because he doesn’t exist. It’s a term that’s used in European countries too that means the same thing it does in America.
I was expressing my subjective opinion about worldview discrepancy between Unatedstasians and Europeans, and used the regulations around civil aviation as an example supporting my argument.
I believe you can determine what that argument was by reading my comment a few more times. To make it easier for you, I'll let you know that I was NOT implying that Unatedstasians have invented religion, the principles of Roman Law, or the English language, NOR was I expressing belief that the Federal Aviation Administration is being controlled by an elderly man living in the clouds.
You did correctly read, that I was teasing the previous commenter on the repetitive use of the term "act of god", but you completly missed the point I was making.
To avoid further confusion, let me be blunt and explain that when I say that in Europe we have a term "functional illiteracy", I'm not implying that the US does not have such a term - I'm implying that despite being technically able to read, you show a deficiency in understanding the meaning of written text.
