What would our country be like if politicians.......
dgskydive replied to dgskydive's topic in Speakers Corner
Didnt know all that about Carter. Shoulda picked better people to run his trust. FOr the record, in my original post, I never said give up all rights to what ever money they may have when they take office. Just dont think they should be running corporations and letting that interfere with the good of the people. Dom -
Bill, if you and I were sitting on a plane and I pushed you forward and said...... "Hold up, we have a problem here." Your saying you wouldn't let me fix your gear? Of course I would tell you what the problem was and what I did to fix it. The problem here is that a lot of people think that they are above having people check their gear. I have had a reserve handle come loose in the plane and had my pin pop after the door was open. I am glad that in both of those situations that the people that saw it didn't spend time worrying if they could touch my gear. I was grabbed on both occasions and jumpers started working on it right away. Obviously I wanted to know what was going on and they told me, but didnt worry that I was going to get mad before they did something. Dom

Texting and playing a video game while drinking Mountain Dew and eating a pizza is not the same things as being distracted by a video camera when yours and others lives are on the line. Dom

+1 If you dont want me to check your shit, dont get on the plane anywhere near me. I may not touch it, but I am looking. And If I do touch it, there is a reason. To be honest you can kill yourself if ya want, but your not taking me and everyone else on the plane with you. Dom

The stupidest thing I did was make a smart ass remark during a big way debrief by Kate Cooper. I thought if I made a joke she would stop pointing at me on the screen. She did, but the look I got really scared me. lol Dom

I wonder though. Would lets say, the last 5 on your list, have run if they knew that they wouldn't be getting money from any other source then a Govt. pay chec until after they were out of office? I bet everyone on that list would say yes, but would they really? Dom -
What's Jeb Corliss doing?
dgskydive replied to skydiverkeith's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
That was the last I heard of Jeb. After he did that, he got replaced by Eli on Stunt Junkies and haven't seen him pop back up since. Maybe he is just riding out the 3 year probation and then he will start doing cool shit again. Dom -

I dont mind a politician making more money then most. As long as they arent making that money from big corporations. If they are willing to give up a private business to truly serve and look out for the betterment of the our country, then I say pay them well. Dom -

Only the ultra rich run the country know. Ok we could argue over what is rich and what is Ultra rich, but you get the point. Name me one guy sitting in any seat of real power that is not rich. Ultra of otherwise. Just because a person is a good lawyer or business person, doesn't meant that they are going to make good decision for you and me. Most rich people I have met are only looking out for themselves in the long run. Hell that is how they got rich in the first place. Well maybe not all but the majority. Dom -

Because the big pool we have know is doing us so proud? I am talking both sides here. What did Albert say about insanity? Seems like we just do the same thing over and over again. Expecting different results. When the truth of the matter is things just keep getting worse. No matter which party is in charge. Politics have degraded so much over the last few years that nothing actually seems to be getting done anymore. Other then name calling and finger pointing. Dom -

That is kinda the point though. They would be making a choice to either serve the country or be a business owner. I would rather have a guy that would give up that right and truly get rid of any conflict that he may have. At least then maybe we could trust that person. I also don't think that industry should be able to lobby our government. Industries are not citizens and should have no say in our Govt. We are supposed to be "By the People and For the People" Dom -

Were not allowed to take money from corporations? If they had to give up all rights to any private businesses that they may have? Would we have anyone that would actually want to serve the country for the sake of serving the country? i bet we would be better off as a country. Dom -
Just when I thought I liked you Someone in Govt makes BP some what accountable and he is a bad guy for doing it? I would have done more then make them set up a relief fund. I would charge them with gross negligence and throw them all in jail. I am proud of him for at least doing that. Not that it is enough, but at least he did something. Dom

Guess that is a another debate. Seems that is the way the country is moving anyways. Well at least for weed. The rest I think should stay illegal. Or if Mexican govt could get rid of all the corruption they have in their LE and Military and do something to help their own people with jobs in their own country then maybe we would see less of this activity as well. Instead they (mexican politicians) come here and complain about our immigration laws instead of fixing their country. Dom

If your talking about Sarah Silverman. Than I agree, she could suck a lot of things and make me happy. Dom
