  1. Welcome to the worldwide unregulated shit show that is Skydiving. At the end of the day it all comes down to the Dropzone Operator. There are many unenforceable pieces of paper they can point to if they want safety or ignore if they don't care. If you care, find a DZO that does care or retrain the one you have.
  2. If you don't want your name known, well, you are too late. If you want a bus load of people to pass through Taliban lines what would be your solution? Have everyone lie and go without the documentation they will need to enter Kabul Airport? Send a SEAL Team to escort the bus? How about accept reality within the confines of the shit agreement Trump laid on us and play ball? Sometimes there are no perfect choices.
  3. Yes, but 40% were anti-vaxxers. The rest should have had different friends.
  4. I support President Biden, primarily, because he isn't Trump. These are the sorts of choices one is often faced with in a rational world. As we don't live on a kindergarten playground, we who so chose Biden are mindful of the reasons that caused us to make the decision. So, no thanks to your constant invitation to act as if we just poked a beak through our shells and the future starts today.

    Relax, Bob. There are three of them and lot's of us. Just don't go first and you'll be fine.

    Either their insurance premium goes up or yours does. Good for me that I'm on Medicare with a great supplement. Best insurance I've had in memory.

    I know I've been thinking and praying so it must have worked.

    At least three I know of first hand are smart people who have breakthrough infections. Sadly, I'm thinking the new normal is already here. Get vaccinated and stay boosted by hook or by crook. Hang with vaccinated people who can be trusted to not be too loose because of whatever the reason and patronize places that take masks and protocols seriously. Good for us that we have lot's of gay friends; they are all vaccinated and take things seriously.

    Jumpers are now showing Covid infections after attending our own Super Spreader Event: Lost Prairie.
  11. Well, in fairness, us ya'll's have certain intellectual challenges unlike you ya'll's.

    Thank you. You totally nailed my point.

    And he may have been correct.
  15. Maybe. But I'll wager that he respects their right to freely infect you.
  16. Seriously, it is scary shit that our society is factionalized by the credulous. Worse is that the simple pointing out of the obvious truth makes no difference to them; they are right where they need to be: in opposition.
  17. And we're all reading that and thinking, holy crap, a 75 year old Christian conspiracy theorist who lives at the end of the road in BF Georgia gets "comms from several covert sources" giving him real time updates on activities in rural Afghanistan and all we have are a fax machine and Bill Maher. That sucks! Such A Beautiful Mind.
  18. For sure you won't need the Pfizer chip to get free 5G through your tin foil hat.
  19. Cheer up Tootsie Roll, SHTF and the party of God has won the day in Afghanistan. There will be no more abortions but lot's of mandatory religious study, heathens will be executed or worse, liberals are in hiding or running for their lives and no one will be taking any guff from the ladies. How can you not be thrilled?
  20. Well that was fast. Were they escorted to the Presidential Palace by the Afghan Army in ex-US Army lorries? At the end of the day it is the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. Or was I should qualify, and 99.7% of the population are adherents of Islam. Seems to me they've simply traded an ostensibly enlightened Islam for a darker version. Fine. Peace be with them.
  21. Already the heart string plucking is underway. Yes, the Taliban will make life miserable, and in some cases much shortened, for many. Innocents will die in masses, women will be enslaved, religious ignorance and intolerance will be the order of the day and misery will prevail. By any secular or western standard, conditions in Afghanistan under the Taliban will be beyond awful. The thing is that every Afghan soldier, every Afghan citizen and every Afghan politician knows that truth. If the Afghan citizenry and the Afghan Army aren't ready, able and willing to stand, fight, and die for their freedoms now, so be it.
  22. Sure, but it could have as easily happened if the boy was practice swinging his dads samurai sword or nunchucks.
