Chachi, you kill me dude. Funny shit. What that post made me realize is that there are many out there lurking, lying in wait for the opportunity to be self-righteous and holier than thou.

Im not sure if anyone else has noticed, but, this sites members are slowly becoming the above definition by attrition. I know several people that don't frequent here anymore because of that fact.

Its the same everywhere now and days. You have all the minority screaming and yelling about how wrong everything and everyone else is, and they abuse the shit out of their "freedom of speech" to push their adjenda and beliefs. Just look at Michael Moore. Its just that much easier for these people to accomplish this behind their computers.

What I think these Americans dont realize is that Free speech is granted to Americans by God and guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. That is as it should be. Speech in this country is a guaranteed right, but comes with a responsibility.

With freedom comes responsibility, and arguably the post mongering finger pointers do not utilize it as protection, but as a weapon of their self-righteousness.

I feel that there would be a much better vibe around here and the world if people exercised their 5th amendment rights more often. I.E. Choose your battles, and have suggestions or other constructive content if you just HAVE to say something.

People that commented negatively on my light-heartedness and teasing chose to take the low road. And in typical DZ.com fashion, the bandwagon rode into town and people jumped on. Seems like no one ever misses the opportunity to flame and voice how much a "jerk" they think someone is. Funny how I never see this attitude at any dropzone when folks have to face the music for their comments. Sure, they feel the same way as they do when the read a post here, but the ambiguity of the internet will erase all doubt who these people are.

Ok, I think I've said all there is to say bout this. The only reason I commented on any of this, as you didn't see a reply on the original post, is that to be honest, I really dont give 2 shits about how wrong you think what I said was. I know how I meant it, and so did some others. Truth is, if I met this dude in person, I'd give him shit for it, then buy him a beer and then BS about all the demo's hes done as I would love to be a Pro-rated Demo jumper myself someday.

Chachi, I've attatched a picture, of what I believe you were talking about. Being that I am already perceived as a heartless bastard, what's it going to hurt.

I also don't know if I'd call 2 surgeries on a leg and six months out of the sport a "minor injury" or that he is "totally fine." But, whatever.



I had 1 surgery and 8 months out of the sport.... I expect some to laugh and poke fun.

Sometimes peer pressure can be a good thing. It is one way to change a wanted or unwanted or behavior.

(as yes I would spank/ discipline my kids)

I was splitting lanes on my Kawizx900 and got cut off, locked the front tire, flipped the bike slid it under a car where it proceded to explode into ten-fifteen pieces.... As I saw the back tire I knew it was time to let go of the bike and skid landed towards opposing traffic.... the guy that I was riding with got to the scene and stopped his bike and immeadiately started laughing his ass off at me whilst I was in a state of shock with road rash all up my right side, and a Mom and daughter team sitting directly behind the car that my bike went under with a look of total awe on their face.... He said somehting like I know it's kinda fucked up to laugh man, but Hell you're allright wtf.... and you (me) were just bitching about this little scratch you put in the fairing ten minutes ago at the glider port.....

the police got a good little chuckle too.... when the tow truck arrived they yelled at the tow truck guy and told him to hurry up we got a live one stuck under this car!!!! the tow truck guy got all excited and started to hustle when they broke the news to him that there wasn't really anybody under there..... The cops relayed this little tidbit to me when they showed up at the hospital to write my ass a ticket......

same hospital that I went to get the abcess in my cheek checked out from this little k.o. I received at a house party for the ass slappin hand getting away from me, where the front desk registar with the cute panty line almost got her butt tapped on the way out... Instead I recruitted her for a bikini plane wash fashion shoot....... shoulda tapped the ass....

what was i thinking??????????

yeah, if it doesn't kill ya I guess it's cool to laugh... Hell, I laugh at that video of the guy base jumping who got caught by the antenna and got pulled away from a high impact landing and slung onto the roof of the building.... thats funny.

Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds. Guaranteed reaction- Dave Sonsky

I will laugh at myself at the drop of a hat, and fully expect friends and those around me who have witnessed my extreme lack of coordination to laugh and joke about it too. They are people who know me, who know I find the humor in it, and laugh with me.

For someone I have never met, who did not see whatever happened, who simply laughs at my misfortune regardless of what the situation was (my fault or not), isn't right. It is degrading. It is even more so in this case since the person really had some significant injury.

My humble opinion of course, but you did ask for it :)

There's an old saying at my DZ.

" If you've come for sympathy you've come to the wrong place!"



Better yet, if you're looking for sympathy, look in the dictionary between shit and syphalis, because you won't get any from me . . .B|


Has nothing to do with this thread, just thought I'd share the thought . . .

laughter is the best medicine.

are we allowed to SLIGHTLY laugh / tease skydivers that try stupid things and just don't quite make it?



If they open themselves up to it, tease away. Don't do stupid things in public if teasing bothers you.:P
