Would you snub a fellow skydiver b/c of his politics?

Politics stays in SC. There is many here that i do not agree with but would love to meet.


There has been one time where people used words like towel heads, and etc. Those people can suck my cock in SC and in real life.

Yeah, there is one person and only one person on DZ.com that I would be happy never meeting, only due to the very hurtful comments made and the unreasonable manner the person was acting in.

And those whose loyalty to this country are dubious, and only wishing to become a US citizen for other advantages can suck mine:P....

I would never snub another skydiver because of their political beliefs, or any beliefs for that matter. I might strongly disagree w/ them about some things, but I think I am a pretty loving person in general. Now if they messed w/ my gear, on the other hand, that would be a different story! :D

:P I don't know if this means it's a joke?


But if you have something to say to me feel free to say it openly. I am more then cable of defending my self in every manner. So speak up no :P needed.

And they were some great times to Mac!!!

I have a lot of friends who are extremely liberal. We don't agree on most political issues, but there are many things we do agree upon.

Friendship is more important than politics anyday!

I enjoy jumping with them and hope they always enjoy jumping with me.

Blue skies,

Jim

And I have spoken up about my point of views in person, with you back in June-July at Jumptown.

I go to the DZ to jump not to question every people on the loads for their political views, as long as their actions in the air don't threaten my or anyones safety it's all cool. Hence the :P.


Talk about open mindness!

Politics is politics, that stuff stays on the ground, politics is not worth screwing up friendships and potential friendships over.



What AD said! Usually when I talk politics with friends who have different views than me, there is a lot of humor thrown in from both sides. It has never affected our friendship though.

Nicely put. I guess that's the problem with SC lately. Our regulars have lost the humor in lieu of rabid humorless rants (both ends of the spectrum).

Depends if his political beliefs led him/her to be an asshole.

For example, wouldnt necessarily hang or be nice openly to someone with views like being a Nazi or strong member of the BNP etc...



That's why I said Maybe.

In general, NO. But then again, in general I don't really KNOW what a person's political views are at the DZ. If you're talking about meeting someone from here on dropzone.com, whose views I've become privy to, then the answer would still likely be No, but it would depend on whether we had had view-related friction and animus.

skydivers skydive, as long as you can fly I don't care what you do in the closet of your mind. Politic's religion and borrowing money imo have no place on the DZ.

However if your a "radical" or "space cadet" or sicko, I'd rather save my money. Free choice, free country, free speech.

The subject we were speaking off was the War in Iraq. Actually it was not a subject we were speaking off but one the first things you brought up. Till this day I think you’re the only person I have ever talked to about the war and how I feel about it. If you remember I ended that conversation rather quickly I am there to Jump and have fun with my friends, and every one who is there I consider a friend no matter what there beliefs are.


This is the 2nd time you have assumed you know me.

When you are directing this at me it is not about open mindedness it is about a very closed mind.


You are questioning my intention that you have no clue on. You don’t know me or any thing about me.
I think the total conversation we had back in June was not more then 2 minuets.

Know one thing I will call you and will pull your card every time you make a statement about me that is false.

I have nothing against you and I don’t assume to know what you stand for or who you are. I ask that you do the same.

I have used the term before, so I should assume you are talking here about me? I think those are words that state conflict if lsomeone like me shows in you DZ.

Not according to your first statement, I would have to disagree. I personally have no issue. I was there to jump. As far as assuming, no, but given a possible conflict between the US and Iran, you have let your opinions for all to see. I see no issue on that. You don't need to retract anything either.

ummmmm, do you really want to go there with the spelling errors, etc? I'm guessing if someone took the time to go through all your posts, they might find one or two as well.....:P (me, I don't have the time and I wouldn't want anyone doing the same thing to me........)

When I was skydiving and having a nice weekend at the DZ, I made it a point to leave politics at the house. I would never snub anyone for their views unless they were racist. I have friends from different sides of the political spectrum. These days it has been really nasty from both sides, meaning liberal and conservative, when I went to the DZ, all I wanted to do was have fun and a good weekend of dives, not to get pissed at anyone over a difference of political opinion.
