    Whether you ban them doesn't change the point - not a single one of the 20-something males had any say in being 20-something males (barring any transsexuals ... who may have chosen their sex but not their age). They became 20-somethings automatically; they did not choose to be 20-somethings. Every jumper piloting a high performance canopy chose to. The two points do not correlate.

    Treated as though they are the center of the universe? Or treated as though they think they are the center of the universe? Subtle difference... A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    No no! I think chuteless may be on to something. There is a tie between al Qaeda and homosexuals!

    And they're going to scan everybody? Even children? Does that not sound problematic? A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    Mmmkay, but if I hear you say something like this and later hear you put forth scripture as moral absolute, I will call your b.s. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    About the best reason I can think of for banning the death penalty. The stakes in death are far to great to be decided by an imperfect government. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    For the record, I am not Christian. But I know how to read: "To the person who strikes you on one cheek, offer the other one as well." I don't see any part where it mentions saying anything insulting or borrowing other people's things without permission. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    This is a reply to no one in particular. It often amazes me that those who so vehemently argue for Christianity can support the death penalty. What happened to "Thou shalt not kill?" What happened to "Turn the other cheek?" Or does basing morality on scripture only apply when it is convenient? A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    This point is irrelevant. A man is born male through no action of his own. He manages to live long enough to make it to his twentieth birthday, and he is therefore within the age range 20-30. A skydiver decides to take on a higher wingloading. Unlike the 20-year-old male, the skydiver has a choice as to how they would prefer to load their canopy. Therefore, attempting to argue against the necessity of wing-loading restrictions by claiming reductio ad absurdem that 20-30 year old men are more dangerous than anyone else and they should therefore be banned is invalid.

    Well, we're not exactly dealing with a bunch of full decks on dz.com, are we? I was perfectly satisfied just smiling, nodding, and backing away without losing eye contact. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    No, I didn't see that. I also didn't see the black woman when Ivan posted the Hollywood zoom in. I thought people were speaking metaphorically ... A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    I think you will find that such a simple-minded claim will not be taken very seriously here. Or else you're trolling. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    I was about to post something in the Incidents forum, but then Sangiro's posting guidelines appeared at the top and reminded me to take it elsewhere. Thanks, HH! I wanted to comment about the article concerning the incident in York, Canada, which Quade posted here. The article states While it is nice to see an article about a skydiving incident not succumb to sensationalism, I wonder if this isn't erring a bit too much on the other side. I don't think I'd claim that serious skydiving accidents are uncommon. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    One could just as easily cross out "left" in your statement and put in "right." or "moderate." I think that the claim that all members of one group are hypocrites while all members of another group aren't is awfully simplistic. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

    I think we're slipping if it took 35 minutes for someone to produce a clicky link. Usually people clamor to be the one to make it clicky, so you end up with three or four "clicky" posts. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
