Brother, that's quite a leap. "Sick fuck pedo's" will pose as anything to gain access. Nor, are they just male. I don't understand the trans/cross dressing thing, but I also know my framework lies in the constituion - the right to pursue happiness. If they wanna do it and it's not hurting anyone - how is that my business.

You know what, we are often on opposite ends, but I appreciate the humanity you bring to the table, which tends to be missing these days.

ohhh, how quickly the "just hire the best candidate, I don't care about race, colour, sex, gender, changes. Again, stand for nothing, just talk in circles. Only thing you care about is hurting other people.

Killing the CEO of a medical insurance company is too gentle. He deserves to spend eternity in a poorly-staffed, poorly-equipped, burn unit with the bare minimum of drugs as scheduled for his poorest subscriber. I know - from personal experience - how long term pain can drive a man insane. Good thing for the faceless bureaucrats at Workmans' Compensation Board of British Columbia that I sold my guns years ago. If any gov't troll finds this post, he is welcome to take a long hard suck on my hot knife.

Survived another night. Phew. 21

I would strongly advise not hiring any troublesome bible thumpers. They make other workers uncomfortable.

In fact, if you change the names of black women to gender neutral white-sounding names on their resumes (i.e. LaShonda to Chris) they do get interviews more often. The goal is for that to not matter. The goal is not to teach people to hide who they are so that bigots will like them more.

Because his case had been decided and he was going to get the usual penalties via a plea deal. This means you plead guilty and you get that agreed-upon penalty. Then republicans in Congress contacted the Trump-appointed judge and demanded that the judge overturn the plea deal that was already agreed to. He is now being resentenced. Hence the pardon. Let me guess - FOX News didn't mention that part.

Nah, we just know you're lying.

Ohhh but it does. I have seen your browser history my friend.....

Sounds like the rationale used to exclude black people years ago. "Well, there are plenty of qualified white candidates, and introducing a colored person into our white workforce will be a disruptive influence - and be more work for me. I am NOT RACIST - perish the thought! - this is just a good business decision." There is always a rationale for any prejudice.

Kirk was definitely my go-to coach for the numerous times I had to get current. Questionable sense of humor, though not if you asked him! The funnier he found one of his own jokes, the more snorts you'd get out of his laughing (I did hear a three-snort laugh once!). After I learned of his death, he came up in conversation with someone I had only just met. I told her the funny story about how no one ever knows until later that they dated Kirk Knight. She got quiet for a minute, then realized she had dated him as well (she wouldn't have realized it had I not connected the dots for her). Kirk was the reason I was a decent skydiver, am a pretty good judge, and am also an ambassador for the Museum/Hall of Fame -- and I'm just one person. I know there are dozens (if not hundreds) of people who could say the same about how Kirk helped them. He is still missed. Fucci -- thanks for being there for Kirk, especially at the end (whether he wanted it or not). You were both great teammates. --T Bone

COL (Ret) Kirk Knight, Ph.D., died peacefully at Tampa General Hospital on August 26th, 2022, with family by his side. There is a Kirk Knight Memorial Page on FaceBook, and his family and friends invite everyone to his Celebration of Life on October 1st, 2022, 11:30AM, at Skydive City, Zephyrhills, Florida. Some of Kirk's ashes will also be making their way over to Deland for the Jumpers Over Seventy jumps. Kirk was jumping hard just two months ago in Iceland, but came back to the U.S. with pneumonia and never left the hospital. Kirk was just short of 8,000 jumps, and we will be distributing a memento to skydivers so that Kirk can keep jumping on his journey to 8,000 and beyond. His biography follows: Kirk Knight lived an adventurous and distinguished life as a U.S. Army soldier with over 34 years on active duty in defense of the Nation. He also performed duties as a U.S. Government civilian employee with over 20 years of dedicated service as the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) liaison officer to Special Operations Command—Central (SOCCENT) and U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). He was a decorated combat veteran, with three tours as an enlisted Infantryman and an Army aviation officer in Vietnam, and combat operations in Mogadishu, Somalia as Liaison Officer during the Battle of the Black Sea, among other named operations. He served in countries around the world during his long career. A key position was his time as Commander, U.S. Army Parachute Team – the Golden Knights, where Kirk led the team to National and World Championships. He also had assignments as an Army Ranger instructor, and as the Deputy J5 for Plans and Policy with the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC). Kirk culminated his Army career in 1999 as the U.S. Army Defense Attaché at the United States Embassy, Ottawa, Canada. After military retirement, and a brief stint in the financial services sector, Kirk became a government civilian at SOCCENT and SOCOM in the aftermath of 9/11. As an additional duty in his very limited free time, Kirk was a PRO demonstrator and Accelerated Freefall (AFF) Instructor for the USSOCOM Parachute Team – the Para-Commandos. Kirk’s aerial skill, reliability, and tenacity ensured that the SOCOM Community Engagement Program reached audiences at some of the highest profile events across the United States, highlighting Special Operations Forces (SOF) missions, opportunities, and capabilities. Always the consummate professional, Kirk represented SOCOM in front of millions of spectators, and tens of millions of broadcast, print, and social media subscribers. Kirk was scheduled to retire in September 2022 after 55 years of combined military and government service to the Nation. Skydiving was Kirk’s passion, and his contributions to the sport are numerous. He is the recipient of the United States Parachute Association’s (USPA) Gold Medal for Meritorious Service, a National and International judge having served as Chief Judge of the USPA Collegiate Nationals and an international judge at the CISM championships, most recently in Austria in June 2022; a Skydivers over Sixty and Jumpers Over Seventy record participant; and an AFF Instructor Evaluator. He was a trustee of the International Skydiving Museum and Hall of Fame, generously donating to the building fund as well as contributing innumerable volunteer hours on the path to “get it built!” Kirk ended his jumping career in Iceland in July 2022, with 7,848 jumps. His journey to 8,000 jumps came up just short, but his legacy and immense contributions to skydiving will live forever! Kirk is survived by his brother, Chris and his wife, Gail; his son Chris, and his wife, Andi; and his step-son, Greg Foster, and his wife Colleen. Blue Skies, always, Kirk.

Was at a corporate holiday party and was discussing woke to their head of HR she told me pronouns were a red flag and anyone who put them on their resume was likely a lawsuit waiting to happen and recommend to her staff that they be deposited in the circular filing cabinet.

Always it's a homosexual expectation on the right. I know Skydekker's face from his avatar only, if that's even him, so sneaking up on him from behind for a reach around would entail at least as much risk as hope. Less risk and more hope than giving it a go with a Green Beret, I suppose. No matter, this statement by Kevin O'Leary of O'Leary Ventures and Shark Tank fame was online today regarding the ambush murder we've enjoyed discussing: "If anything good is going to come of this, it's going to be policy change because you've basically got people lighting up their torches, just like in the Frankenstein story and going to the castle, and they're going to burn it down," O’Leary told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “And you got to hear that, so if you're an executive saying, 'get me more security guards,' wrong answer. That’s just wrong.” So Jay, it is possible for some of us to observe, imagine, and contemplate a thing without condoning the event or dismissing it's basic horror.

Next year will be the year of the snake. Tonto would have had that as his sig.

The regular personal attacks you make would be a suggestion that you have a little more hate than average.

Michael Cohen has the best two. Von Shitzenpants and simply Donald. I’ve noticed Donald really gets under his skin.He sees being called by your last name as a position of power and respect and first name is reserved for pathetic underlings and women.

Hi Tanya, Anything but The Donald. What an egoistical piece of crap. Jerry Baumchen

If this site goes down then they may never find DB Cooper.

What I will miss the most are the discussed in intricate detail explanations of physics that violated so many laws of physics.

I drove through town and saw a number of "man hole covers". What are they going to call them now? I guess if they were woman hole covers, you could call them sanitary napkins.

I also think about Tonto, whenever I come on dz.com Wendy P.

Score one for Biden.

it would be appropriate if one or more threads devolved in to DB cooper threads for the rest of the life of this site. DB Cooper forever.

Back on topic. As I predicted Russia is abandoning its naval and air bases in Syria.

This thread sure drifted quickly.

pretty sure that the Nobel committee likely excludes convicted felons and rapists that steal from charities.

I can't tell you how many people I know that smoke weed and snort coke, yet that lie on their weapons forms never bit them. Most IRS tax issues are done once the disputed numbers are settled, paid, interest, and fines. Yet this one guy was pursued, simply because he was the son of POTUS. The republicans shit their pants over the fact that he had a deal, which is odd because most people do that in similar cases. Why is this one so special and dear to The Great Rapist Leader and his minions? Meanwhile, the criminals pardoned by Trump were fine.
