wolfriverjoe 1,462 #5 October 2, 2012 QuoteAndrew Jackson wins...hands down. Yup. Lipping off to a sword wielding British officer during the American Revolution (while a prisoner) is seriously badass, seriously stupid, or both.

jackwallace 3 #7 October 2, 2012 FDR dragged this country out of the depression and kicked the crap out of Hitler. From a wheelchair. Chester A Arthur kept a hooker in the White House. Andrew Jackson not only stopped the guy from shooting him, but was intent on beating him to death, but they stopped him. Teddy Roosevelt gave a campaign speak with a bullet in his side. Lincoln was a wrestler, and in those days that was more like MMA without the gloves.U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through.

quade 4 #9 October 2, 2012 QuoteThey don't make Presidents like they used to, that's for damn sure! They don't make people like they used to. Take 99% of the population of the US and drop them in the woods and they'd be dead inside a week. This is not a statement about the people, but what life skills are taught and not taught at this point. I'm ashamed to say it, but I don't know how to milk a cow or plow 40 acres with one. Learning that just never came up, but they were key factor in civilization 5,000 years ago. Oh, I know the theory of how to do both, but haven't a clue as to how to really do them. In the post apocalyptic world you'd want me to be your astronomer to predict planting seasons and the story teller around your camp fire, but I'd be dead long before civilization rebuilt itself to that point...as would most of us.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, the guns the guy was holding misfired. As in the guy pulled the triggers but there was no BANG. Then Jackson proceeded to beat him nearly to death with a cane. Still seriously badass, but the guy was not armed when Jackson went after him (well, he was but the guns weren't usable as guns)."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

Take 99% of the population of the US and drop them in the woods and they'd be dead inside a week. The ones that aren't dead in a week will be considered separatists, enemies of the state, and will be brought in to answer for their crimes. On another note, one must check out some other facets of bad-ass. Teddy Roosevelt was bad ass. So was Jackson. Those aren’t disputed. One dude left off a lot of lists is George HW Bush. The son of a senator, Bush quit school and became a naval aviator during WW2 as an ensign. Then he turned 19. He fought during that war, got promoted and during one raid he took some AAA and his plane was caught fire. He flew on, completed his bombing run, then turned around and bailed out over the ocean. One crew member went in with the plane, the other’s canopy never opened. He was rescued by a submarine, returned and ran his combat missions up to about 60 in 1944. He was sent back as an instructor pilot. Then he turned 21. Then he became a businessman. Then a Congressman. Then Ambassador to the UN. Then Director of the CIA. Nowadays he spends his birthdays skydiving with the Golden Knights. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
