A proper diet has been shown to be an integral part of the learning process. Peanut products are a cheap source of protein which is part of a proper diet. Roadkill is also a cheap source of protein. Do you consider roadkill an integral part of the learning process? No. However, I would consider roadkill to be a cheap source of protein which is part of a proper diet which has been shown to be an integral part of the learning process. "That looks dangerous."

Have you ever heard the expression An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure? Yes, and guess what ... it's an expression, not a valid argument. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

Because their existence in the school is both high risk and not integral (or arguably even useful) to the learning process. Nor does banning them violate anyones rights. A proper diet has been shown to be an integral part of the learning process. Peanut products are a cheap source of protein which is part of a proper diet. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

Right, but the reason why you take it is to minimize the probability of landing outside the aircraft without a properly functioning canopy over your head. How is that different than, children that are allergic to peanut products should carry an EpiPen to minimize the probability of having a fatal allergic reaction? "That looks dangerous."

No, I'm not. I'm suggesting that banning peanut products is a reasonable precaution in the given scenario. What makes banning peanut products a reasonable precaution? According to you, some children are allergic to peanut products and all children have the right to a safe learning environment. So, why can't the same argument be used for banning glue, scissors, water, windows, etc...? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

Funny stuff you or other jumpers have done

You're all a bunch of fast fallers. To burn up 2,000' feet you could actually wait 20+ seconds tracking or 40+ seconds wingsuiting. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch -
Again, that's irrelevant to the discussion at hand. No one is suggesting a sterile learning environment can ever be achieved. You are suggesting that we attempt to achieve a sterile learning environment. I'm wondering where you draw the line. Why isn't that relevant? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

Are you suggesting that "on equal terms" is synonymous with "safe learning environment"? I'm suggesting that, in the context of this thread, safe learning environment is encapsulated by "on equal terms." Since you believe that peanut products should be banned to provide a safe learning environment (which you believe is synonymous with "on equal terms") than do you also believe that glue, scissors, water, windows, etc... should be banned to provide a safe learning environment (which you believe is synonymous with "on equal terms")? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

Are you suggesting that "on equal terms" is synonymous with "safe learning environment"? If "on equal terms" is synonymous with "safe learning environment" and we ban peanut products to maintain equal terms than we also need to ban glue, scissors, water, windows, etc... to maintain equal terms. Don't you agree? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

Yes. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

It's an irrelevant and non-topical question. Are you serious? You didn't appear to have a problem stating your beliefs in this thread (or any of the other threads you've posted in). Talk about a cop out ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
-
Was that so hard? So, do you believe that pet dander, scissors, water, windows, etc... should be banned because they create a potentially unsafe learning environment? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
-
That's a distinction for the courts to make, not me. I asked where you draw the line, not where the courts draw the line ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
-
Right. Because building and operating a new peanut free school would be so much cheaper. Apparently you missed the part about the school's legal obligations to provide a safe learning environment. Where do you draw the line between a safe and an unsafe learning environment? Should schools ban glue, scissors, water, windows, etc...? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

Average people can afford car insurance. So why don't you think average people would be able to afford gun insurance? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch -

I'm still on the fence but leaning towards attending. I only wingsuit and have never attended a boogie. Does anyone have any advice or information regarding multiple airplanes, flight pattern, etc...? PS: Also, are there any other only wingsuit people that will be attending? If so, what days will you be attending? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
