Young in the sport, hero. It's obvious you're young in age, too, because you act like a little child. There are plenty of facts, but with people like you it's like banging your head on a wall. Why bother? Wow. Over five countries! Why not just say six? Doesn't sound as good or something? You never said full time riggers before. You said riggers. Don't try to change the goalposts now, stud. - Dan G

I think you mistake the media circus around BLM/Sharpton/Jackson/etc. as being indicative of what most black people think. There are rational voices out there that are trying to point out problems with this country. Some of those problem as race related. Just because the loudest voices tend to be the stupidest doesn't mean there shouldn't be a conversation. - Dan G

People insist on making race an issue because it is an issue. Ignoring systemic racism as you propose doesn't make it go away. I guess it will go away eventually, but people are getting sick of waiting. And to your other point about how black people shouldn't refer to themselves as African-Americans, I wonder if the same holds true of other groups. Do you get upset when Jewish people call themselves Jewish if they haven't been to Israel? - Dan G

Dude, you really do not the experience to tell people anything. Most dropzones have more than one rigger around. I'm not sure I've ever been to a dropzone where only one person was a rigger. Your experience is clearly lacking. I love how you've jumped on the USPA hater bandwagon so early in your career. So edgy. Fucking seriously? Get out there some more and come back when you have a clue. Many dropzones drug test their employees nowadays. All of the big ones do and it's happening at the small and mid-sized ones, too. - Dan G

I'm sorry dude. You keep posting these stories about other jerky drivers, but you're the one who always seems to be acting like a jerk on the road. - Dan G

What does your disgust of racists have to do with your desire for black people to self-deport? Oh I get it, they don't have to leave, but if they stay they should give up their right to complain about injustice. In other words, they should stop being so uppity. Classy. - Dan G

Anti-gay pastor Kenneth Adkins charged with molesting male child
DanG replied to ryoder's topic in Speakers Corner
How are we to address that concern? What laws would you propose that would effectively address the concern around human trafficking? And by the way, you've provided one study that says human trafficking gets worse with legalized prostitution. There are other studies which do not come to the same conclusion, so the issue is hardly settled. - Dan G -

DanG replied to ryoder's topic in Speakers Corner
No, he didn't. You are the only one who brought it up. Let me clarify. All molesters of same-sex children are homosexuals. All homosexuals are not molesters of same-sex children. Get it now? - Dan G -
That really doesn't make any sense to me. Do you have a reference for that? - Dan G

DanG replied to ryoder's topic in Speakers Corner
Um no. Same sex molestation is an indicator of homosexuality. It is not the equivalent. Try making out a Venn diagram. I understand logic isn't your strong suit, but I'm sure you understand this. - Dan G -

What a load of horseshit. No one has been advocating for child prostitution. - Dan G -
Cursive is definitely going away. I'm not sure that's bad. I can read cursive just fine and it's still hard to read the original Constitution. We visited the National Archives a few years ago where they have an original copy on display. Even the unfaded parts are written in a hand that bears little resemblance to "modern" cursive. I seriously couldn't read at least half the words. When I was relearning how to write with my left hand my PT made me write a page in cursive. I was like, "WTF? I haven't written anything in cursive since my Grandmother died in 1995 and I stopped sending her birthday cards." - Dan G

Prostitution among consenting adults should be legal. Kidnapping, child abuse, and sexual assault are already illegal and should remain so. - Dan G

True. Obviously there are two sides to that coin: the insurance is likely more expensive, but the insurance isn't totally shitty and useless. - Dan G

So people in that county are in the same boat they were in before Obamacare. - Dan G

There's a big difference between being vehemently against killing animals (which really only applies to Jains and maybe some very hardcore vegans) and not understanding why people kill for fun. Killing for food, killing to end suffering, killing for safety, and killing for wildlife management are all totally understandable reasons to kill an animal. It's the killing for fun that doesn't make sense to many people. - Dan G

Sounds like you are reading a book filled with psychobabble bullshit. Anyway, coming from you the idea that other posters can't think in concepts is amazingly ironic. You believe your thoughts are esoteric and deep, but they're about as surface as it gets. If you have trouble explaining your idea to a listener there are two likely problems: the listener is unable to grasp the idea, or you don't have a well formed idea to begin with. - Dan G

Ah, so you have nothing but "mystery". Man, you've really bit down hard. Hook, line, and sinker. - Dan G

So, what was the murder reference about? Is there some new controversy that only Glenn Beck knows about but if I tune into Blaze TV he'll explain everything? - Dan G

Way to try and pivot the thread toward your personal issues! Well played. As soon as the giraffes start consenting to being shot, trophy hunting can be discussed in the same way as legalized prostitution and drug use. Until then, gimme a break. - Dan G

Oh, I forgot it was you. Benghazi. That's pretty much all you've got, so keep banging that worn out silly drum. - Dan G

This oughta be good. What do you mean, Ron? - Dan G

That's a pretty stupid metric. He's never done anything important enough for lives to be on the line. He has, however, created numerous lawsuits and bankruptcies through his business practices. Those are the business world equivalent of battlefield casualties. If you define leadership as bullying, childish insulting, and refusing to answer direct questions, I suspect your hope will come true. - Dan G

If you want chaos, Trump is your man. His economic plans would create $11trillion is more US debt. To deal with that he would default, sending the entire world into economic collapse. He may refuse to honor our treaty obligations in Europe and Asia, emboldening the Russians and Chinese (who I thought were your sworn enemies, but I guess you're more flexible than I believed). He seems hell bent on sending troops into Syria, Iraq, and everywhere else Muslim extremists are active, leading to a global religious war. By the way, who do you think will be fighting this war after we abandon NATO, Japan, and Korea? That's right, the US will get to go it alone! Yay! But Clinton, I mean she's a Democrat and all. So she must be bad. - Dan G

Let's look at the First Amendment as an example: Freedom of speech/freedom of the press: Trump wants to "open up" libel laws to prevent people from saying bad things about him. He refuses to say what that means, and apparently doesn't understand that saying bad things is what freedom of speech is all about. Freedom of religion: Trump wants religious tests for people who can enter the country. He has said he will "look into" the employment of non-Christians in TSA jobs. Freedom of assembly: He hasn't said as much, but he is clearly against the rights of protesters based on his treatment of people who protest his rallies. You may be on Trump's side on all these issues, but that just means you're as un-American as he is. - Dan G
