billeisele 130 #177 March 29, 2007 QuoteI'm assuming your proposed ban of small canopies is as silly as my proposed ban on boogies. And nothing will get done unless we change or ban the jumpers themselves. please read again, i was suggesting we ban canopies (not just small canopies - all canopies) someone wanted to get to the root of the problem, no canopies = no canopy collisions off course it is silly, as is continually ranting about this issue, time to take action, let's discuss what is being done rather than what should be doneGive one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GravityJunky 0 #179 March 30, 2007 Quote That's true. And I will ask you again - does that mean you are OK with drunk driving, since you can die anyway? Or do you think that drunk driving is not OK because it puts other drivers more at risk? Quote Now that's the perfect metaphor, for this topic, pulling dangerous stunts with so many lives at stake, is NOT equivalent to opting to participate in, activities, that have risks, involved! Every activity has risk involved, hell getting out of bed everyday has it's risks, yet we all do it. Does that mean that since we are willing to do so anyway, that it's okay for someone to take a swing at our noggins with a Louisville Slugger, with the attitude 'well your willing to take other risks that have serious consequences... so that makes it okay to do this right???' *My Inner Child is A Fucking Prick Too! *Everyones entitled to be stupid but you are abusing the priviledge *Well I'd love to stay & chat, But youre a total Bitch! {Stewie} Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites popsjumper 2 #180 March 30, 2007 Quote..
