    Drove to Austin, TX to visit our daughter and see the eclipse.  We drove and saw it in Columbia, SC in '17.  So cool to see it twice.

    The weather did cooperate, barely.

    Is it still true  that no fatalities are reported of nude jumping?

    Someone just asked me, and I want to be sure if what was reported awhile ago is still true.

    Hi airdvr,

    At this point in my life, I consider it immature.

    And who cares how many  sex partners we have had.

    We're old. ¬¬

    How do you mean body count? Friends you’ve lost skydiving, fatalities you’ve witnessed? Or something else entirely? Mine is relatively low; good friends, less than 10, maybe less than 5 (but then I’m not one for lots of close friends). Including acquaintances it goes up, but not into the thirties

    This is an interesting thread,  because it points out how males and females are still viewed differently.

    But the fact that she posted that in a public forum as a defensive response remains emblematic of the entire point of you so eloquently made. Not only was she the unfortunate victim of an attack but she is also a victim of the glorification of guns in America; a glorification that is equally unfortunately made when Brent posts pictures of his arsenal covered with bullets hoping to show that guns and bullets alone do not a danger make. That such nonsense is considered mature and socially acceptable by some is, in my opinion, the real problem.

    I am absolutely not a victim of the "glorification" of guns.

     

    And the fact you consider any defensive position "remains emblematic" of using whatever defense one may have at hand is sad.

     

    Guns are tools.  nothing more, nothing less.  They don't kill people, people kill people.

     

    I'm out.

    thank you to those who understood the intent of my post.

    Relax. What I mean is that it seems fantasy to wish you had a gun in your shower. Did you know the man?

    No.  But, even if I did, it does not put any of the responsibility on me, the only one to blame is the criminal.

    Again, trying to put any part of the responsibility on anyone other than the perp is victim blaming.  

     

     

    Of course it is a fantasy wish to have been armed.  20/20 hindsight and all.

    That's an interesting point of view. Were the circumstances unique or predictable?

    What do you mean?

    A man broke into my apartment (my domicile, my home, my castle) and attacked me in my shower.

    The use of the word predictable smacks of victim blaming.

    "Interesting point of view."   my ass.
