No. The first guy to make a "Downfall" video was a genius. Everybody else, simply hacks. I don't know which parody was the first, but the first I saw was about online poker. Hysterically funny.

Colbert was the one who crashed the RNC and commandeered the mike on stage, wasn't he? Yeah, fuck that guy.

Which is totally opposite to how I thought the internet would change society about 15 years ago. I honestly believe the internet is one of the most important inventions mankind has ever made - it's up there with the wheel and fire for me. The free, almost limitless access to information, news, training, opinions, education made me think that there was no excuse for people to be ignorant any more - we'd have a much more informed, rational society. Instead, with no training on how to parse good information from bad, the prevalence of deliberately manipulative data and the huan habit of gravitating towards information that you already have a bias for all seem to have made society progress in the opposite direction. Like you said, the western world seems to be getting more ignorant, less informed and more insular. My hoped for social Renaissance was dead on arrival. Problem with the internet is, you get all kinds of news on it, good, bad, accurate, fake, etc. As well as 3 or 4 differing viewpoints depending on each site's political leaning.

They'll test missiles weekly, but we'll be sabotaging them quietly. I just don't know how. There have been rumors that we've been secretly messing with their launches.
-
I would hazard a bet that most if not all, the missiles they boasted in the parade were fakes, or just concept missiles that aren't flight-worthy, yet. A whole lot of hot air and chest beating. Typical North Korean propaganda.
-
Given that the North Korean government seems to have no qualms about using a nuclear bomb if they can fire one at us and/or South Korea, I'd agree. Those fuckers seem to be the only country in the world willing to do so without a conscience.

I wondered when we were ever going to use the MOAB. Have had it in our arsenal for like 14 years or so. Finally used it on those ISIS pukes. Took out a cave system IIRC. Would have been nice to have had it ready when Osama Bin Laden was on the run in that area in 2001-2002.

I think he quit after that "fuck off" post when nobody agreed with his bullshit.
-
I suppose one could say that the liberals just had their argument of Trump and Putin being buddies TOMAHAWKED.
-
If Putin wanted to test Trump, well I guess he got his answer after the Tomahawk cruise missile strikes on Syria's military base.

Assad is supported by his ethnic group, and those who have cast their lot in with it. He would be on the losing end of a slow war of attrition, but for Russian intervention. Russian intervention on Assad's side has been stronger than western intervention on behalf of the mishmash of groups opposing him. Assad is winning largely because his opposition is divided and ineffective, and because of Russian support. I'm paying attention, you can't fool me with your anti-west propaganda garbage. BAM! That's exactly it. NOW.... Roy, check this out: http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/us-military-officials-syrian-aircraft-dropped-chemical-weapons-on-civilians/ar-BBzuEVu?li=BBnb7Kz BAM! There it is. Oh and by the way... Saddam Hussein was not supported by all of Iraq, only the Sunnis supported him. He killed thousands of Iraqi Shiites as well as Kurds. Assad is pretty much the same way. Open your fucking eyes Roy.
-
It is quite clear from the last several years that Assad, like most dictators and despots, do not give a fuck about his own people. There have been leaders like this going back several decades. He has and he will kill those he thinks are against his regime. Saddam was the same way. Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Pol Pot, the Kims of North Korea, the list goes on. Lest we forget where Assad got most of his chemical weapons from.... Saddam Hussein, ahead of the Gulf War to hide them from us.
-
Assad is a fucking asshole who will do whatever he wants and fuck what the international community thinks about it.

It's not that we don't have the balls, it's that we don't care. Get out and find out for yourself. That's what most of us did. ETA: We also for the most part, try to avoid putting dirty laundry on the site. Sangiro doesn't like it as he has gotten calls from lawyers for certain individuals or dropzones because of comments made on here.
-
One would hope that a "professional skydive instructor" would recognise "a clapped out 182" and "old tandem gear", don't you think? He probably just doesn't want to go find out for himself.

Trump's not stupid, he's crazy. Having said that, sanity is overrated. Hillary, OTOH, is evil. It's a nasty choice to make, but barking mad is slightly preferable to unbridled malevolence. Patrick Stewart in drag has been tapped to play Kellyanne Conway. I vote for Gilbert Gottfried in pantsuit drag as Hillary's Doppelgänger. BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I so hope Saturday Night Live does this.

Longmont City Council will take up skydiving noise

What she needs is an erection in her mouth just to shut her the hell up. -
A new "Citizens for Quiet Skies" issue
nolhtairt replied to chuckakers's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Amusing part is there is no aviation noise shown anywhere around Longmont, nor the Gunbarrel CDP where the Grump lives. The closest one is the corridor that follows US36 and skims the Southern edge of Boulder. Sounds like it should be brought up to the lawyers for the drop zone... to use against CQS -
Everything is relative. A lady in my church, not 65 yet, has to pay almost $500/mo and has very high copays for her health care. But, she will die soon so it all balances economically. Not 65 yet, but you say she's going to die soon? Of what? Women can easily live another 25-30 years from age 65 with good health.

And in the meantime 30 civilians died in an airstrike against a school in Raqqa and 130 civilians died in an airstrike in Mosul but sure, the level of concern for 5 white people in London is the real global tragedy here. And on any typical day in the USA some 30 citizens are killed by their fellow gun toting citizens, but that's OK and nothing to worry about. Ya, no shit! Where are all the protests against all the inner-city shooting deaths in Chicago? Because black on black crime doesn't fit in with Jesse Jackson and his ilk's agenda. Only white on black or police brutality does.

I hadn't thought of the regulations... Good tip. Plane modifications are regulated for safety reasons aren't they?
-
That was a great way to go.

For some people, getting old sucks. You have aches and pains, difficulty getting around, forgetting things, etc... To them, the Rapture sounds like a better way to go. Just one viewpoint...

Hundreds Of Thousands Of Workers Will Strike May 1, Organizers Say
nolhtairt replied to airdvr's topic in Speakers Corner
Me too, but even as a child, they've always seemed like just a bunch of whackjobs to me . . . That's because most of them are. -
There's a menu option at the top of the page titled "Dropzones", in between "News" and "Indoor". It should have all the DZs listed and where to find them.
