Then why did you state that you object to certain lifestyles? You lit the fire yourself. All you are really saying here is that you have feelings that you can't justify. You want to, but you know you can't. I have. I don't anymore, except for whiskey which is drug use. I'm okay with people using drugs unless their use is harmful to themselves or others. But your analogy breaks down when you consider that drugs can be harmful, sex is just sex.

Since I was the first person to ask what his objection to certain "lifestyle choices" was, I have given some thought to the meaning of the phrase as it is used currently. The culture warriors have pretty much learned to accept homosexuality and gay marriage. The battle has moved on. It is now bathroom wars and society struggling to deal with people choosing their gender identity based on what they would like it to be. So I will just ask, is this what you mean by "lifestyle choices you don't agree with"?
-
I agree.

If you're going to post insults to make your point expect to be corrected in one way or another.

They won't get stuck closed, that's not the problem. The problem is that if they don't open cleanly and evenly one may stick for a while through line stretch and the beginning of the canopy opening. This will throw you off balance and result in the canopy loading up unevenly and can result in anything from an off heading opening to a spinning malfunction. New rigs are often stiff, you will probably find that as the container gets used and broken in the covers will release more easily. Rig design involves trade offs. Bill Booth favours magnetic riser covers to prevent this problem. But some people find that they do not hold well enough at high speeds. Most manufacturers use stiffened tuck tabs that will act the same as your new Infinity.

Nah....he was just using typical 'murican.

Cue....as in "cue card". Que is not a word. The liberals I know give their pets rabies shots. They won't get rabid.

Who's running for the open Directors seat next week?

It’s really easy to get the idea that these are somehow valuable political positions with some kind of payoff for the people who serve. The reality is these are volunteer positions for people who care about the sport. Be careful what you are saying. And yes, it is very clear that you have not researched the matter at all. -
The aggression makes them feel manly.

And the meaning of “is”?

He has a point about that issue. However I could not really discuss it with him here because he ended up basically accusing people on the BOD of acting in bad faith. -

Ok, you can interact with him all you want. Have at it. -
You keep saying that. But not defending it. Most societies have some sort of religion. But they are just a way of groping for answers. And they have little in common with each other. The major determination of a religion’s success is the military success of the tribe who adheres to it.

No, you only have time to make unproven statements and assumptions. That is why I rarely have time to challenge you.

For some perverse reason it has become a point of pride with him, He does not seem to realize or care that it makes many people just ignore him, -

Instead of modern warring tribes? I'm sure god smiles when she looks down and sees "mutual assured destruction".

Be careful when you are bringing your killing machine to church to be a "good guy with a gun". https://www.koco.com/article/man-accidentally-shoots-himself-after-gun-discharges-outside-sw-okc-church-police-say/30666943

As an atheist I do not require that you or the government also be atheist. I want my government to be secular.

Universal healthcare does not magically make resources available. It is too bad, that like a shithole country, America is too poor to afford it.

I have seen both those people and myself as well openly angry here.

You bring passion to the table. You also frequently bring anger and express it in an aggressive way. This is my observation.

6 YO misses, no one hurt. Praise the lord! https://www.al.com/news/montgomery/2020/01/gun-discharges-in-pocket-of-6-year-old-at-west-alabama-elementary-school.html But this 2 YO was not as lucky. https://www.ocala.com/news/20200124/girl-2-shot-and-injured-in-ne-ocala

I don't know if it will help you, but unless you are stupid you will find acceptance at the DZ. As long as you skydive the only thing that is not tolerated is stupidity. Other than that everyone is welcomed.
