skymama 35 #2 October 3, 2003 I'm a soccer mom who drives a mini-van, but you probably would never be able to catch up with me to complain about my driving. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jfields 0 #12 October 3, 2003 I'll probably have a mini-van within a year to complement our boring-ass Toyota Camry. Minivans are evil, but they are good for hauling around munchkins and their related junk. I can't get my wife to go for either a full-size van or a so-retro-it-hurts station wagon. We can't afford some gigantic SUV. So a minivan it will be. But at least it will have skydiving stickers on it.

Well, one of the greenies here (Skymama) drives a minivan. The point of the thread is to bash minivan drivers. It is only a matter of time before someone bashes minivan drivers in general so creatively that she gets offended, or that someone starts their post with something like "Because skymama drives a minivan, she must be a [negative connotation words here]."

You see, dz.com is the home of the slippery slope. No matter how innocently threads start, they are all destined to become discussions of who needs to post a picture of their boobs, bestiality, or gun control, depending on who hijacks the thread. In the old days, the skydiving discussions were mixed in with the non-skydiving discussions, so separating the wheat from the chaff was very difficult. You would click on a thread titled something like "what size canopy should I buy?" and the last 100 posts were about Clay getting it on with a farm animal, with maybe a couple of lewd comments about Lisa's boobs thrown in.
