  1. Wow! Thanks for the morning laugh. I'm surprised some people give it a second chance if that's how it goes for them. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
  2. I knew about Wings, but I have a Wings container. I did not know about Rigging Innovations. You are correct. I just looked at their home page. It boldly lists a military discount. I'm looking for canopies, though. Thanks to Bonehead Composites for the offer. However, I already have two helmets. It is still much appreciated.

  3. This should be connected to the thread that asked how loud a woman should be. I'm just not entirely sure how to make the connection. There's a great joke just waiting there for me...but I can't find it. Damn. Yeah. The dolls are a bit creepy. Plus, I need feedback.

  4. "Slightly smaller than a pack of cigarettes" sounds like a large device to place in the body to me. Could it be concealed in breast implants? Good place to put the switch, too.

  5. I found out today that the Aerodyne discount isn't what it was. I was looking to the pull the trigger on reserve and main today. I much prefer companies that give military discounts. Since things have changed, I might as well re-evaluate everything. Thanks! David I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  6. I was actually trying to pull the trigger today on a new Pilot and Smart. I contacted Aerodyne to see how I proved my AD status and such. Turns out the 30% and 35% discounts I saw on dz.com before are no longer in effect. They recommend that you go to a dealer who will give you a discount based on his/her costs. Ah well. My fault. I should have bought them previously. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  7. The big problem I have with that view (homosexuality is clearly prohibited conduct) is that there's lots of stuff that is clearly and plainly a sin. Divorce for example. Do any of these businesses that want to refuse service to gays on "religious grounds" also want to refuse service to divorced people? Not that I've heard of. They want to pick and choose which sins they don't like and refuse to do business with only some of them. That's not refusing service on "religious grounds" that's just plain bigotry. No argument from me on that point. I've had quite a few conversations with Christians where they got mad with me over this. If they have an issue with homosexuality (Old Testament), then they should have a problem with lots of other things. They often claim OT was trumped by NT. But divorce and remarriage is forbidden in the NT. Doh! They hate that part. Not enough time to follow up to other comments. Will try later.

  8. Very fair question. I recognize the point of your earlier question and have been mulling it over. I would not approve of utilities refusing someone service for reasons of personal views. But then, those are also highly regulated as a privilege of doing business. Your examples of the NYSE and pharmaceutical companies are also highly regulated. So, I'm having trouble doing your question justice without running into an industry that is highly regulated already. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  9. Andy - point taken. I know I am jousting with windmills. Government will never stop telling people how to live their most personal lives. People just can't stop trying to control others. SkyDekker - I have a whole host of issues with the FDA and pharmaceutical companies. Pick another analogy. As far as I'm concerned, those drugs should be available for the asking in most cases. Eliminates the problem you present, but I know that wasn't your point. NYSE has similar problems as an analogy...and both analogies are highly regulated already. I don't think we want the same level of regulation on lunch counters. Sorry...forgot the whole religion thing. Yes, there were religious groups who claimed blacks didn't have souls, slavery wasn't forbidden in the bible, etc. But a plain reading of religious texts has never presented a case for racial segregation to my knowledge. If you are already slanted that way, you can make a complex argument. That doesn't make it fundamental to the religion. Homosexuality, however, is clearly forbidden in plain language in the Judeo / Christian texts. While I think those were the prejudices of one man and not 'God's law', it is clearly a different issue from racial segregation and the religious legitimacy that was assigned to it in the past. Of course, I read the Christian Bible from a completely different perspective than most, so many religious people might disagree with me. They rarely agree with my views on Christianity anyhow.

  10. So, it sounds like the age is fairly marginal in terms of effect. Deployments generally = UV exposure, so would be more indicative of wear. It sounds like a chart would be pretty straight forward in average circumstances. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

  11. I really think segreation would have died a natural death. It just would have taken too long. I think the prejudice against homosexuals has much less wide-spread support and only needs a generation to pass away to be nearly gone in American society. At least, I hope that is the case. Throwing in the 'only lunch counter in town' premise slants the debate unwarrantedly. I've often thought the energy put into protesting a business would be better spent opening a competing business. Claiming sexual orientation is a legally protected category does the same. It isn't. Worse, you are placing sexual orientation in a superior position (as rights go) to the exercise of religious beliefs. I don't think racial segregation had any basis in religion and it is federally protected. I am merely saying the right of the homosexual (and others who support him/her) are not superior to the freedom of religion of the business owner. But the business owner has to live with the consequences of lost revenue. Keep in mind...I don't want government involved in personal relationships. I don't support DOMA. On the contrary, I want the government out of marriage and the bedroom entirely. I would never support government suppression of homosexuals. Why would I support suppression of a business owner's religious beliefs? Out of curiousity...if you are offended by businesses not wanting to serve homosexuals due to religious beliefs, why are you not criticizing the homosexual who would not serve a politician because of the politician's beliefs? You see, I don't just support the rights of people I agree with. I would happily pay the gay guy to cut my hair and refuse to patronize the business who will not serve him. I'll vote with my pocketbook. I would never use government as an instrument to enforce my views on those who are not actively hurting anyone.

  17. Kinda hostile for 2$. Then again - I guess maybe not. "Didn't ask for no dime." I knew what your link was a reference to as soon as I saw your comment.

  18. *** support anyone doing what they want so long as they aren't hurting or will not likely hurt someone else by doing it. These two statements contradict eachother somewhat. Unless you purely mean based on the political spectrum. Conservatives or liberals not welcome here kind of thing. When you tell somebody they are too gay to get a cup of coffee in their cafe. Or, I will only serve you if you sit at this indentified counter, means you are hurting someone. Not exactly. I come at it from the persepctive that the business owner is not obligated to do something. To say they are obligated makes them a form of slave. Refusing to do something for someone else does not harm them as you suggest. They can go somewhere else to get a cup of coffee. Since it deprives the business owner of revenue, it would be more accurate to say that the business owner hurt himself/herself. I support their right to shoot themselves in the foot.

  24. Reminds me of a high-school prom / popularity contest with a dose of politics. Recently, it seems any movie that gets 'honored' in the awards is going to be a 'must miss' for me. Not always, but regularly. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..
