    You really don't have a firm understanding of American culture. To even attempt that would make January 6th look like a five-year old's birthday party.

    By luck; not by design. I really don't know how to address this. My daughter has had the school locked down due to "active shooter" situations at least five times. Around here, "active shooter" is defined as any unknown human threat to the children on campus grounds. In most cases, campus police handle it before they get inside the building. And, our campus police are armed. But, we are fortunate to live in the upper-end of middle class and our school system in one of the best. Having said that, I buy two of those rubberized shove under the door stops for each door for each class (most times two doors, so four per class), that she's in at the beginning of each semester to give to the teachers.

    Whew. We agree on something

    How fucking disturbing is that? Especially love the part where it says, "The early 1980s saw only a few multi-victim school shootings."

    You would be mistaken more than once.

    Correct. It does not apply to handguns to minors.

    My understanding is - they went out and bought him a Glock 9mm as a gift. (x) (1)It shall be unlawful for a person to sell, deliver, or otherwise transfer to a person who the transferor knows or has reasonable cause to believe is a juvenile— (A)a handgun; or (B)ammunition that is suitable for use only in a handgun. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/922 Now, there are some exceptions to that, but none of those exceptions would apply to him or his parents.

    As it should be.

    covid-19

    BIGUN replied to gowlerk's topic in Speakers Corner

    Morning, Wendy, I read the following yesterday about the overamplification of closing borders because of Omicron. While it might be served well in the Biden Critics corner, I am more interested in hearing from some of our scientific fellow skydivers "IF" it's possible that Omicron could be the one to get to help build up one's immune system and the "curse" might also be the cure?

    One does not collect unemployment for cause. If you were an "R" you'd know that. :)

    Evening Jerry, I just don't get it. More than 8.05 billion doses have been administered across 184 countries, according to data collected by Bloomberg. The latest rate was roughly 37 million doses a day. In the U.S., 461 million doses have been given so far. An average 1.12 million doses per day were administered over the last week. ~https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/covid-vaccine-tracker-global-distribution/ (Dec 1, 2021) Keith

    I posted quotes from Biden regarding these items and pointed to the media bias. I did not do this part.
  18. BIGUN
    You know that it was not specific and are constraining the question for a predestined rebuttal, so why don't you just come out with it. And, you're skirting the main point of how the media is treating Biden vs, Trump for the same actions.
  19. BIGUN
    No. That's the "Animal Rescue Foundation."

    Am not <sticks out tongue>

    These are direct quotes from his Twitter account. Brother, this is about the fairness of the media towards the right vs. the left. I do not want to go down the path that makes it sound as though I am some form of trump-ette.

    No to using dental floss or other foreign substances. Keep plenty of tube stows or rubber bands in your kit and replace them when needed.

    We're going to have to disagree. I am a round student, both in the military and civilian. First skydiving rig was a paracommander. And, I have swooped a canopy @ 1.8 WL, bled it off, and still did PLFs. The only time I did butt slides was as a TI and even then it was very infrequently and out of concern for the student hurting themselves.

    1. Because the media and specifically Biden was lambasting Trump as racist, xeno... etc. when he was following the guidance of his advisors at that time. 2. Now that it's Biden doing the exact same thing - It's hands off. That is the hypocrisy.

    Ummm. Fuck no.
