pirana 0 #77 November 15, 2007 QuoteIt's not about playing devils advocate, it's about having an open mind. Something you people are not capable of doing. They are open, just not so wide that our sense of ethics, or our brains in general, fall out." . . . the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience." -- Aldous Huxley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CSpenceFLY 1 #79 November 15, 2007 Quote Quote I can only hope that you people are really not this slow and are just here for entertainment and to stir the pot. Of course it's entertainment. You would have to be slow to take any conflict on this website seriously. If you don't like the things I say about dropzones, I sincerely apologize for offending you. If you think I'm a dick and would treat me as such if you met me in real life, I would strongly suggest you ask yourself why you are so easily provoked by a total stranger typing at home on his computer. Be glad that my comments over the years have provided you with a sense of moral superiority. Yes. I'm willing to crucify myself for your entertainment pleasure. I am just that nice. You certainly drew alot from my short post. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmytavino 16 #80 November 15, 2007 it's well LATE into this thread... but I am mad at the Original Poster... Not because he raises a particularly irritating topic again Not because he supports BAD business tactics and was apparently absent During Ethics Class... Not because he defends the indefensible.... BUT for these two reasons.. One.. I AM a small business owner.. and I bend over backwards to be ethical, honest, and appreciative of my Clientele. and this clown comes along and says.. "it's business, all bets are off, anything goes".. what a stupid concept... Have you EVER run a SUCCESSFUL businesss.. or is your Gig,,, Just a lot of talk, and misquided justification.....Two.... You have the balls..... to create a user name of skypapa.........??? How dare you???..... We have a higly respected, ethical, honest and thoughtful member here,,,,,,,Maybe you've heard of her.. skymama......... So where do YOU come off??? to choose a name like skypapa??? i'm not kiddin.... YOU MUST be affiliated with skyride,, and have now shown evidence of poor ethics, and common sense.... since you ripped off one of our ModeratorsOh yeah..... that falls right in step with your concept that all is fair in business.. I hate ripoff artists... Liars,,, and those who fall in with deceptive business operators....especialy when the motive is NOT to "help out the sport", but to Make someone else's hard earned money,,, YOURS>>>>> You seem like one of those to me.. though to call you one, would, be a breach of the forums rules..... sooooo of course.. I'm just insinuating.......fill out your profile,, and tell us.. Who you really are... and under what other usernames you have posted here in the past... Troll,,, thy name is skypapa.... signed jmy edited to correct grammar... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rushmc 23 #81 November 15, 2007 Here is one simple example of unethical and illegal practices. I was surfing about the internet after reading some posts about Skyride just to see what I could find. I found a site stating the DZ was the home of the Iowa City, University of Iowa Jumping Hawkeyes. From this site they were selling thier certs. Being from that area I KNEW that this did not even exist. Well, one call to the Iowa University and the site was down in less than 3 hours. If you want to defend that kind company, well, you decide"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

CSpenceFLY 1 #82 November 15, 2007 The problem is and the reason this goes on and on is that's as far as it will go. No formal complant will be filed. This is how they can get on here and say " well we only have 300 BBB complaints". The people that get fucked just go on with their lives and leave them there to fuck the next round of people.

carbonezone 0 #88 November 15, 2007 I have not been on these posts for obvious reasons “you are one of them”!!! I “Tami” have worked for ASC in the same office as Skyride. It did not take long to figure out what was going on. I know first hand what the operators were instructed to tell customers. “”I was asked to lay the same line of BULLSHIT and SLANDER. Of course I DID NOT! I sold Tandems the way I knew how “passion and truth”. AND I SOLD A TON OF THEM!!! Everything that has been said on here regarding selling tactics “every disgusting one of them” is FUCKING TRUE. The deceit and slander of other DZ’s not being safe happened DAILY. Say whatever it is you need to about this post but you wont get another word from me!!!! GET OVER IT…..SKYRIDE IS NOTHING BUT EVIL GREED!!!!
