    Maybe I'm reading too much into your last two posts, but it seems like in your heart of hearts you still believe this report. Am I wrong? - Dan G

    The Imitation Game

    Um, I'm pretty sure Hitler did a decent job of starting WWII all by himself. - Dan G

    Do you think Michael Jackson received state money because he was poor? Maybe they were just idiots, like MJ. Why do they have to be poor idiots? - Dan G

    I was responding to Hjeda's comment that it would be a fine place for a "lefty" to come in and shoot up the place. Rendering display weapon's inert makes perfect sense. - Dan G

    I thought only law abiding people would follow gun free zone signs, so gun free zones are ripe for mass shootings? That used to be the narrative. How will making the convention a gun free zone be any different? - Dan G

    I keep reading LWOP as "Leave Without Pay". I sincerely hope everyone means "Life Without Parole". - Dan G

    That appears to be a medical statement from a doctor for new skydivers. Is it true that TI's in the UK don't need any further medical certification? - Dan G

    Hmm, I can't remember reading "God hates gays", or seeing a picture of two men holding hands with a red X through it in the Bible. You must have read a different version than I did. No, you clearly don't, but I'm sick of explaining it. - Dan G

    Yes, they are different. The difference has been explained repeatedly, and this is the last time I'm going to bother. The first baker refused service to a person because of who he was: a gay man. The second service refused service to a person because of the type of service he wanted: offensive language. If the gay man from the first story came in and asked for a big throbbing penis cake, the owner could have refused based on the fact that they don't do sexual cakes. Similarly, if the baker from the second story had refused to make Bible cakes because the customer was a Christian, then they would be wrong. In reality, she clearly stated she had no problem serving a Christian, or making Bible themed cakes, but she rightly could refuse to put offensive words on those cakes. If you don't get the difference, I can't help you. - Dan G

    Holy shit dude, I'm at work. I only check here every now and again. Gimme time to read the stories. - Dan G

    You are about to blame Sandy Hook on gays. This is SC gold. - Dan G

    An individual's rights end when they infringe on another person's rights. As a public business, and owner does not have the right to refuse service to a class of people. Doing so infringes on their rights. If the baker/pizza guy/photographer doesn't want to interact with the public (all of the public) as a public business, they he doesn't have to. Once they open their doors to the public, they have to treat everyone equally. - Dan G

    I'm guessing (and only guessing) that the FAA medical is a requirement because USPA doesn't have the resources to manage their own medical certification process. It also makes sense, since TI's like to call themselves pilots in command, that they have the same medical fitness as airplane pilots in command. Heck, I think a really good argument could be made that a Class 2 is more appropriate, since TI's are engaging in commercial flight for hire. - Dan G

    Having a dog or a bottle of scotch with you is a transient identifier. Being black, female, or gay is part of who you are. "No shirt, no shoes, no service" is different than "no blacks". - Dan G

    I'm a little disappointed that you are perpetuating the confusion between type of services provided, and type of people served. You're a lawyer, you know the difference. - Dan G

    I have a third class medical as a pilot. I'm not a TI, nor ever was. I agree it's pretty basic, so if you can't pass it should you really be responsible for a student's life? - Dan G

    The FAA medical is about a lot more than DUI convictions. The discussion has become focused on DUI convictions, but I think the FAA medical has value in catching a lot of medical issues, DUI being only a single item. - Dan G
  21. DanG
    Or due to the fact that there are currently no (or very few) TI's who have DUI convictions. I mean, there are no documented cases of a TI with only 50 jumps and a B license causing an accident, so obviously people with 50 jumps and a B license can safety be a TI. - Dan G

    The Muslim bakeries refusing him service were just as wrong as the Christian ones. What's the difference? - Dan G

    But then the risk should be compared with one five minute jog, or one boxing round, or one lap in a race car, not a lifetime of jogging, or a pro boxing or racing career. Skydiving is dangerous. Why would anyone think otherwise? - Dan G
