  1. that's true here - but it's a discussion site - usually only the unreasonably aggressive come to site like this in the first place. Also, in anonymous sites, people are more comfy being jackasses. In the real world, people are more reasonable and listen. These people included. ...

  2. that's a lot of mixed messages in the article it would have to be defined by the legal definitions of the state IMHO - although I find the 19 year extremely creepy (at that age taking advantage of a 16 year old is light years from a 29 year old with a 26 year old) - he didn't get any messages to stop. however, at any age, if she was that uncomfortable with it then there were likely clues, so likely he was a complete creep not to notice and stop anyway - call it rape or not, he likely crossed an unreasonable line. ...

  3. that's swell Edit: I'd think a new, cool, type of nerve gas that stops the enemy for enough time to stop a battle yet doesn't cause permanent damage or wounds, that let's them lie down in a dignified and politically correct way without soiling themselves whilst dreaming about unicorn farts would be something to get excited about. but, hey, that's just me. ...

  4. always has to be a PC cause.... how about just being happy that another technology field is emerging for the market to choose from (now if we could only eliminate subsidies from all these industries to see if they are real or just painfully constructed - yes, including carbon industries too) ...

  6. That quote is the bottom of page 7...this is page nine. I'm going to predict that in Page 8 or 9, someone will say something snarky like "well, there were used in an assault and they are weapons, so we can say the media was correct in calling a shotgun and a pistol as 'assault weapons'" edit: nope, prediction not confirmed - nice job guys. next experiment in the works. ...

  7. I just saw this as I went by, so the context is not what I'm commenting on. But you HAVE to see the irony of someone posting that flavor of comment to another poster. Seriously. ...

    Tipping

    and this is why - we can do a lot of things to make someone's experience worse, even after the fact. Delighting the customer is the goal. If the base pay for doing a jump isn't sufficient, then it shouldn't fall on the customer - it should be between the instructor and the DZO. Nicky - tips are NEVER "appropriate" or "inappropriate" customers have the options and no answer is wrong. You did nothing wrong or socially out of line. All you did was purchase a great experience and enjoyed a hell of a time. congratulations and please come back and try it again. ...

    Tipping

    Sorry to pick on you AliMac - you are just one of many of a similar response.... "it's optional" followed by "but..........it's usually....." about as subtle as a "tip jar" on the counter tipping is optional in all cases - I find it unprofessional to do more than just note it's optional, and NEVER to bring it up, infer it, talk about it where customers can hear, etc etc etc I wouldn't be surprised that these types of threads are posted on purpose - they seem to come up on a very regular basis. ...

  11. AGREED, as well as judges that can't differentiate between their personal (private) political convictions and the law.

  15. I like being legally allowed the option to either. It would silly to pass a law that requires you to get out of your car. Just as silly to pass laws that would disarm you. Especially when you've done nothing to deserve either positions forced on you. My personal choice would be to do both if I have both options - most gun owners would agree despite the stereotypes that so many anti-gun people love to wallow in. ...

  16. sounding pretty libertarian there, John. Don't bait the posters. Do you really want to start turning a batch of them into posters like FunJ? Just for a bit of entertainment during the day? ...

  18. Despite his on-line impression, actually, John's a super nice guy in real life (like most everyone here) - and this is just a shallow debate website with no real bearing on society. we have enough angry, bitter posters that take it way too seriously, don't go down that road ...

  21. this is a great "everyone is an idiot but me" kinda thought, but what do you want to do about it? would you have laws that allow some people to defend themselves, but require the stupid people to to just sit and take it until the cops come along? Who has the right to defend themselves and who doesn't since it seems some pigs are more equal than others. ...

  22. delete the words "due to" and replace with "while flying in" you got your REAL problem. 1 - idiot newbie thinking he should swoop at only 500 jumps 2 - trying to swoop in congested traffic 3 - 2ndary - why did the traffic allow itself to congest in the first place? - congestion is caused by dumb choices under canopy, NOT good choices in exit order. Don't crowd the pattern if you are high, don't hang in brakes if you are low. Both of these issues seem to be major disconnects, especially with new jumpers. Especially with self entitled attitudes that a swoop MUST happen regardless of the traffic. Fix how pilots make choices, don't remotely infer something not related to the basic problem is causing it. The direct problem is right in front, not subtle at all. - People of all disciplines jump hot and not-so-hot canopies. Only idiots just assume freeflying=HP canopies - especially when you note such small jump numbers, then at least we understand where the idiots are that are jumping too early to both HP canopies and FF. I only assume that tandems canopies are BIG, student canopies are slow, and wingsuiters fly more docile mounts (out of necessity). the rest, I do NOT assume a mount just because of freefall body positions. - Most FF'ers I know are responsible canopy pilots under all types of canopies. But that goes for wingsuiters and RW, and even those that seem to magically be able to do multiple disciplines. But it only takes a few entitled idiots to kill someone before they kill themselves. I get the vertical separation argument - I really do. But trading an emergency that is completely avoidable and has MINUTES of time to make the right decision (collisions can be avoided by maintaining the pattern) is a crappy trade off with creating more opportunity for freefall collisions that have essentially zero seconds to fix. ...

  24. Switch it around - boy 18, girl 17, and then state that out loud in the forum and see what kind of response you get. Now the girl in question claims it was non consensual sex and he was bigger than she was. Not sure I buy it pretty much defines the double standard doesn't it? Hell, she shouldn't have dressed that way. Heck, her fault for going into that neighborhood. in either scenario - the victim is either telling the truth, or lying. What's telling is the clear gender bias in people's responses. I thought we were supposed to judge people as individuals and be gender, race, etc blind. I thought that it was at least the -goal- apparently not ...

  25. Speaker's corner reality - look up the word "hypothetical", it's for friendly debate...what courtroom? - I'm just illustrating a way to look at it that treats people as individuals that are equally responsible for their own actions and not the actions of others. the hope was to drive the discussion away from mushing all the crap together resulting in a bunch of pointless emotional jabs and reactions - one can just do a search if they want to see those kinds of abortion/parenthood discussions - we have plenty already. and you still got it wrong - it wasn't 'this case'. the scenario posits TWO cases that are treated independent of each other. ...
