Editorial: Conservatives' Hatred of McCain Makes No Sense
PLFXpert replied to masterblaster72's topic in Speakers Corner
I once argued in sociology class that few--if any--ideas are/can be truly original. I much prefer arguing that than politics, but I still follow along (watch, read, research it) for the helluvit. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. -
Billy hates it when I gleefully unwrap the "Get your feet massaged" one. I won't be winking at someone driving past today, though. But admittedly, I do look fantastic in red. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Wait! They're behind him now--sort of. I thought his speech to the C-PAC was a little lengthy but it takes time to stroke bruised egos and it seems like he did a fine job of that. I feel like cuddling; it's so warm & cozy now. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. -
Should people that no longer Jump still post here?
PLFXpert replied to Thanatos340's topic in The Bonfire
Fear not. Judgment happens; live your life anyways. The only scenario someone should think you "not current enough" to consider your opinion would be in certain technical advice threads, and in those scenarios it WOULD be helpful to know how current you are if you're contributing in any way.

Lord may that never happen to me. The problem with your wine analogy is the once-wine-enthusiast who no longer drinks wine probably doesn't want to live vicariously through the others that still do enjoy a glass (or four ). Many jumpers who are taking a break or can no longer skydive still DO want to hear the stories and participate in the community. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. -

I completely agree and to add to that point, I've noticed several posters with "22 years" in sport and "900 jumps". I don't think anyone would question whether or not they're welcome here even though it would seem there has been some non-jumping periods of time in that scenario. I personally don't care if someone who has 10,000 jumps, one jump or has just thought about jumping one day posts here. The "noise" seems to be the issue and it comes just as loudly from the former as the latter. As for the original question: Define "no longer". Using myself as an example, I haven't jumped in two years and the two years prior to that was sporadic (which ultimately I did not feel was safe to do even though it "felt like riding a bike" to me). I'm 27 years old. I have a lot of years ahead of me to ever say I will "no longer" do something. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. -
I can't speak for D, but it might have something to do with the "house Sangiro built". It's a neat house. I can understand why people from other neighborhoods might want to peak in and hang out. I haven't jumped in two years, but my pedestal is still here and I'll thank you for not sitting on it. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

No. No, silly. It's a nutshell. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

It's your outfit. SO 80's! But, I appreciate the effort. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I can't help it. That was funny. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

A lady will always say something offhand like: "I never did mind the little things." Sometimes I'm no lady. As far as "mean vs. nice", I don't know. Like Dave, I tend to play dirty with those I really like and try to ignore those I don't. I don't dislike many people, though. I have to really know someone to officially "dislike" them. There's no-one on this website I dislike. One person annoys me sometimes (and it's not even you, Squeak! ). When someone or something annoys me I use that as an opportunity for self-reflection. My annoyance might be valid. But it's important to recognize why. Knowing "why" is what makes us more self-aware. It doesn't always mean I'll be any less annoyed. But, I can infallibly say I'm extremely self-aware. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

SO How Bad is it REALLY to Pirate a Wireless Signal??
PLFXpert replied to ACMESkydiver's topic in The Bonfire
Pirates are SO in right now. No worries; you're totally cool. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. -
Oooo, I love percentages--especially when they're comprised in a pie chart. Mine would be: Agree with Dems 30.9% Republicans 42.6% Disagree with both 26.5%

Yes! These help. More smilies! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

My guess is this is the same sentiment of Limbaugh and Coulter. I'm obviously politically-strategically naive as I just don't see the point. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Mine too. Let's hug. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I was a brand new jumper, 20-years-old, in love for the first (and only ) time, about to be a junior in college, and driving a beat-up car covered in surf & skydiving stickers when I first posted here. I'm 27 now and while much has changed, a few things have stayed them same. This has been "my community" for better and for worse for almost eight years. It's a pretty fucking cool place to hang and deserves our appreciation--which can be shown in more ways than one.

Silly, I was agreeing with you and referring to slotperfect's response as "well said", but a lil' lengthy. Edit: It's an "inside joke". I've been known to do the same. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

A little verbose (), but yea.

I need to do this more. I'm O+. I think it's a wonderful thing to do!

You're correct Bonfire has little to do with skydiving (except most of us are skydivers). It used to be "Talk Back" before we had to separate, etc. etc. I know what Lisa (mouth) is talking about, though. I've been here since (what I'm pretty sure was...) the beginning. It was just a handful of us and we talked about all sorts of things skydiving and non-skydiving related but there was never this element of "FU'ism" that is present here now (however it may be insinuated). I personally take little to no offense. But, I've also found certain things "getting old". Same shit. Different day. Like Lisa, I sort-of miss the "good old days" sometimes (where most of us had met, wanted to meet, etc.), but I've definitely still found some new "friends" I've enjoyed here and would likely even "be there for" should circumstance call for it.

Yea! I truly believe in animal therapy.

I saw that. I knew someone would post it. I feel the same way--and I'm only thinking of my cat! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
