sundevil777 102 #52 April 22, 2006 QuoteThe issue is the elitism of one guy in appointed office. Who the fuck said it was OK to do this? Him and his SS minders. Well it's just NOT OK. The inconvenience of routinely denying access to normal aeronautical activities for thousands of citizens as a PRECAUTION for one scared man is NOT OK, even if he does hold an important office. And if he's not totally gutless he should keep his SS minders in check. The restriction of airspace around a travelling president is not something Bush started.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #53 April 22, 2006 Quote The restriction of airspace around a travelling president is not something Bush started. It's not, but it doesn't make it any less stupid, and I suspect it's more intrusive since 2001 then it was before. As Bill says, it's perfectly legal to load that Pac750 with explosives, but not with skydivers, and that tells how meaningful the whole thing is.

Typical reaction, you may know that I'm not anti-Bush or left leaning although he's been spectacularly unimpressive recently. This is a great example of how a practical discussion in America about anything related to politics even when it's so bloody obvious it's painful usually degenerates into some kindergarten level purile debate. "Well he didn't start it." What the FUCK does that have to do with the fact that some asshole arriving in town grounds everyone for miles? The President in not fucking King or the second comming, he's a man, a frigging public servant and he has the authority to stop this. Any asshole in that office who does this should be ashamed, I don't care who started this bullshit, he's the guy flying in & grounding everyone else as a PRECAUTION to protect his powder puff Presidential ass from remote risks that it doesn't even mitigate well. Have the sense to say no to this bullshit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky... 0 #55 April 23, 2006 QuoteLife is SO hard. Poor, poor skydivers can't jump for a day! Go live in Iraq or someplace where you have to fear for your life or wonder where your next slice of bread is coming from, then come back and complain. Suck it up. You're right. it is our duty to defend the world at the cost of thousands of our lives and trillions of dollars to the point where we trash our economy. Hmmmm, off to China to stop human deprivations..... oh, wait, we need to stop that to our own first Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky... 0 #56 April 23, 2006 Quotesomeone should bump this thread up next to the other thread titled, "Only two more years!" We said that 4 years ago.... then the people supposedly wanted more of the same corporate immunity, warmangerring and massive deficits and debt out of control spending.

Lucky... 0 #57 April 23, 2006 QuoteQuoteQuote Life is SO hard. Poor, poor skydivers can't jump for a day! I wasn't planning to jump on Saturday. What this means is that I won't be making any money on Saturday. And this isn't the first time Mr. Bush's travels have interfered with my ability to make money. But you're right. I really should just suck it up and go get a job at WalMart. The pay sucks and there are no benefits but at least WalMart doesn't have to shut down when he decides to travel. IMO, and I am very serious, if this guy is so damn important that he has to shut down air space, maybe he should leave the white house. If he's got something to say he can say it on tv from the white house. His stupid secret service drones made me land with the airplane once and I was pissed. The secret service are so uninformed and stupid I can't believe their rational. Stupidity runs at all levels of the government. Judy In all fairness, I think the SS have a tough job in that Bush is probably the most hated president in decades and I'm sure there are attempts and potential attempts all the time that we might not hear about. The SS have their work cut out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky... 0 #58 April 23, 2006 QuoteMaybe you should! Either that or stop your whining about it because you chose a profession that uses airplanes. Such a huge price to pay to live in a free country! You certainly love the freedom that is provided to you and gives you the ability to have such a job. But then you bitch when YOU actually have to make a sacrifice.

Lucky... 0 #59 April 23, 2006 QuoteAnd no matter who the President is, 50% of the nation will always say that. So move on. True to a point, some presidents have far worse or better rankings at the end of their terms, but this is one of the only presidents to have 90% of the rest of the world hating him/us.

Lucky... 0 #60 April 23, 2006 QuoteIf they are just commenting that their steak is slightly burnt, then I would say nothing. If they said, "Fuck this shit, my steak sucks because it is burnt. This ruins my whole day!" Then I would say, "That is seriously the most you have to complain about? There are people who won't eat at all today, but you are pissed because your STEAK is burnt. Suck it up and be thankful that you have food on your plate." AHA, misdirection... remember, we are one of the last industrialized nations to still execute people, but China has summary executions. Instead of focusing on present reality, focus on other countries or other entities..... still doesn't address a thing here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
