  1. ASC was there first. The Farm was started by forme ASCer's fed up with ASC/Skyride's deceptive crap. But that's nothing new in GA. Most of the DZ's in GA were started by ex employees/partners of another DZ. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

    My 1st PM Attack

    Because most "regulars" probably know who sent it because they've seen the posts made and know who's pissed off who recently. Anyone else could just read back a few days posts or so of the person that received the PM and have a good idea who it might be or at least be able to narrow it down. Just because the name isn't provided in the thread, it's damn sure not anonymous.
  4. Another hapless Skyride victim. That's gonna really sting when those stickers are removed. A taint waxing effect was mentioned... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  5. A sneek peak at the City of Nashville's star victim/witness... (NSFW) Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  6. Anyone shocked at the poll results? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  7. Hell, they can shave my head if they'll let me jump a C130. Bringing clippers just in case needed.

    +1. Unless they block PM replies from you, then don't post it but answer it. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  9. Joey is a former Carolina Sky Sports guy. http://www.thetek.com/NewSite/Portfolio/tabid/81/Default.aspx Looks like he designed the old The farm page. Good catch.
  10. As long as they can all track away, I'll play.
  11. Then a groundlaunching based attempt. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  12. to which I generally ask "so could you show us a proven way how it should be done instead"? It is always tempting to claim that the way it is done is wrong, but you would probably agree that it is not that constructive. Not totally worng, but there is always room for improvement and trying new things and you can't find new ways without trying new things. The funny thing about wanting proof is you hafta be willing to experiment.

    Somebody wanna take this joke? If you would just fucken listen, it would! You mean stop and ask someone for directions? I was thinking along a different line but "taking the wrong tunnel" now comes to mind. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  15. Restricting access to items which have a high chance to be used illegally has been common practice since ancient ages. Unfortunately that's the only choice available in our imperfect world, which more or less works. Ah legacy thinking: "We've always done it like this..." to which I generally respond "and it's never worked right..." There's always a better way if people take the time to find it.

  18. Why? To laugh at your spelling fail on your business card? Spelling error or not, that's funny. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  19. Every law can be considered as hindering law abiding people at some way. Unfortunately until Good Lord Jesus Christ comes back, and makes everyone perfect, making the law and enforcing it is the only way which seems to work, although not perfectly. You'd probably agree that we would have more drunk drivers on the road if all the penalty for DUI was a $100 fine, and we would have less if the penalty was being burned alive right there in the car. Sure it would be better if anyone was reasonable and didn't drive while drunk, but what else can you do? You're still comparing crimes to crimes and crime law that only effect criminals, not law abiding citizens. A law that restricted or banned driving for all that chose to drive to limit/stop DUI is a better comparison. Resticting or banning access to an item just because it can be used illegally, or to harm oneself or others sets standards for scary laws: anything that can be used for "bad" can be banned or restricted. At that point all one of power has to do is to show how something is "bad" to get it banned/restricted.

  21. Would "work" the same way as closing all schools to prevent more school shootings. Agree. It's a singularly focused solution that doesn't take any other factors or effects into consideration like most ban/limitation laws in regard to anything. It's easy to say since "x" is bad, we need laws limiting or banning anything that can lead to "x" but without understanding why "x" is or happens and dealing with that at a root level any measures taken to ban or control except in a totalitarian state with continuous equal enforcement will be flawed at best, ineffective normally, or pointlessly hinder normal law abiding people at worst. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  22. Bad comparison. A more accurate one would be banning all sex to prevent rapes.
  23. Only $80 a night (double occupancy) at an all inclusive resort. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
