Which thread have you been reading? I make it 50/50 at best. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
-
A) Says who? B) Why not? It's not in human terms. It's in animal terms. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
-
Well, yes you did. Unless preventing them from being owned by people known to want to hurt them isn't a protection. But it would take some real brain twisting semantic argument to make that work! Do you want to have an ideagasm?
-
No... but neither does a human. So would you say there are no human rights, only protections? In the US we have both And it doesn't matter to you if those rights aren't shared by people in other countries, they're still your rights? Then why the fuck did you bring up cows in India? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

my profile says saf 139 loaded at 1.29 but i guess they don't account for the weight of the equipment. You're supposed to do that (DZ.com doesn't know how much you gear weighs). The clue is where it says "Your Weight with Gear" just before the box where you type in your weight with gear Do you want to have an ideagasm?

You equate an autistic person with a mouse or a spider? Dude, that's sick Do you want to have an ideagasm?

That's ridiculous and you know it. A pig and a goldfish, or a dog and a grass snake, are massively different from each other in ways that far exceed the difference between any two or more groups of humans. This is obvious and self evident. I'll agree that most believers in animal rights are hypocrites (myeslf included) - certainly any that also eat factory farmed animal products - but this thing about equating animal rights and human rights is just daft. So, anyone that disagrees with you must think they're god. That's a new one! Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Everyone's weapon will be checked before the event... unless they turn up late and in a rush, because that's obviously a recipe for success Do you want to have an ideagasm?
-
Well, mice and rats aen't the same as horses and dogs. That said, I absolutely agree that almost everyone is hugely hypocritical on the subject of animal rights and the emotional decisions we make regarding which animals are protected from certain treatments and which aren't. But that doesn't mean there's no such things as animal rights, it just means we're rubbish at recognising them. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Yep, I don't buy it. For sure, different wind conditions can massively change how control inputs affect your glide relative to the ground and you have to know about that. However, the idea that a given canopy has the same steady state L/D ratio at any brake position? Nope, don't buy that for a second. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Seriously, I think on that angle a wingsuit is going to have a serious speed/power advantage. The tracksuit is going to be flying a bit too hard to hit super high speeds. Also, I seem to remember something about Andrey Karr being banned from the mountain during the first WWL for jumping the "world's most demanding wingsuit race course" using a PTS...

If it is taught as a mantra, yeah, which is a shame as there's so much more information out there! BV's downsizing checklist is well over a decade old now and point #1 is to be able to flat turn 90 degrees and point #2 is be able to flare turn 45 degrees. Anyone who simply uses "don't turn low!!11!" as a subsitute for actually learning/teaching real canopy skills is being lazy and counterproductive. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

And you have also seen court cases that prosecute people for mistreating animals - because those animals have rights. But you think animals don't have rights, and you have stated that people should not be prosecuted for mistreating animals. So, and please listen carefully here, you cannot simultaneously declare that the status quo should be changed, but also use the status quo as support for how your proposal would work. Yet again I ask - if a person should not be prosecuted for actually torturing an animal, what should happen to him for simply breaching a ban on owning animals becase he's a known animal torturer? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

I call it flawed because I see internal contradictions with it which you refuse to explain. What was the point? And you have also seen court cases that prosecute people for mistreating animals - because those animals have rights.

Yes. That's not part of the 9th amendment. What the 9th amendment means is that the argument you've been using a few times lately, that you have to be able to read a right in the Constitution for it to be a right is an argument specifically contradicted by the Constitution itself. No, you don't. I'm not saying the 9th amendment confers rights on animals, I'm only saying it shows your rigid constitutional argument to be bogus. No, absence of enumeration of animal rights within the bill of rights does not mean that the constitution defines an absence of animal rights. It means the constitution does not speak about them one way or the other. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Don't you get tired of the same old deflection tactics? Damn near every thread you get stuck in a twisted logical hole you can't climb out of and you just attack whoever it is you're talking to and then afterwards every response is "you're proving my point" or "you're showing what you are" and it hapens over and over again. Anything to stifle a discussion without having to address your flawed, incomplete, contradictory 'solutions'. Don't you get bored of it? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

He's "trumped" the other players by being able to play a diamond, which even though it's numerically weaker than the king and ace wins because any diamond outranks the spades. Frankly, I'm disappointed in the guy playing the king second card. What was he thinking? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
-
I take it you've never read the 9th amendment? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

What you're saying is incomprehensible. If animals don't have rights, how can you compare the legal protection of children with the legal protection of animals? If animals don't have rights, how can you legally justify taking them away from their legitimate owners? Why do you think the government should be able to take away someone's property, if that property does not have the right to be protected? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
-
Kids have rights No, you're saying there's no legal reason to. And again, if you're not going to prosecute someone for torturing animals, what are you going to do to someone who breaks their animal restraining order? And how will society take care of animal abusers? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
-
No, they do not Yes they do. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
-
And made a bunch of proposals that completely contradict that position. How do you propose banning animal abusers from being close to animals, and what should be done if they break that ban given that animal cruelty shouldn't be prosecuted? And if there are no laws against animal cruelty what do you think society will do to deal with animal abusers? Not pissed off, just mystified by your approach. If it's not through being drunk I just don't unerstand what you get out of being on this forum if all you're prepared to do s repeat your original statement over and over again whenever any detail of your position is questioned. What's the point? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
-
It's that late night barstool level of reasoning and coherence, yeah. If you explained your position instead of just repeating it then it would sound different, but I doubt there's much chance of that this evening. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

I think what happened was that you became such an obvious troll that you're no longer interesting. Bye. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
