Islandcool 0 #1 March 21, 2003 Blah where to start. I read the boards with opinions and views about this conflict. I don't live in a fairytale world were everything is perfect and I am well aware that people have differences. I see replies that appear to be very intolerant at times. One thing that I have seen since I've been involved in skydiving is solidarity. Maybe I only see what I would like to see or maybe I've been blinded by something else but I have met people who celebrate living. Sure there a few a-holes who are full of themselves but on the whole the skydiving community is a tight knit group that looks out for their fellows. I've seen it on these boards and I've seen it at the DZ. Someone is always looking out for my best interest. Maybe it's something simple like me struggling with something on my harness or someone willing to coach me on a freefly jump. I have found a sense of acceptance and friendship though this sport. We share a common bond that brings us together in more ways than one. So enough rambling for now but maybe some patience and understanding and tolerance for each others views could go a long way.
