marks 0 #77 April 7, 2004 QuoteQuoteQuote $14 men and $10 women will be offered all season. I am personally insulted by this nig-noggery. There is NO justification for charging someone a lower price for their jump ticket just because they are a female. Would it be acceptable to say something like $10 jump ticket for someone of one race and $14 ticket for someone of another race? No way! Everyone would agree that is outright racist. In much the same way there is NO excuse for charging a different price for men and women. Women, how would you feel if it was a cheaper ticket for men? Men, how would you feel if it was a cheaper ticket for you? I'm not just upset because it would cost me more. I would still have a problem if it was a cheaper ticket for guys. This sort of double standard only leads to resentment and I am glad my dropzone is not trying something this ridiculous. ABSOLUTELY! I agree 100%. I think that is ridiculous and sexist and I would certainly not support something like that. Angela. ya whatever.... shannon.. you want to borrow a fishing pole?.. ive got one somwhere. but im not touching the fish... so dont even ask....

nbblood 0 #79 April 8, 2004 QuoteLike Skyama said... let's keep this to about a new place to jump rather than what people think is fair or not. Yes, we were told very politely to keep this a discussion of the DZ not the politics. I'll admit guilt, but let's try to get back on track. Sounds like an awesome place, i.e., huge landing area, coaching, organizing, etc., etc. I know you haven't been open long, but how many loads are you averaging a day? Packers? What I'm leading to is how many jumps can I make in a day with two rigs, assuming the weather permits? I'm really starting to make plans for a visit this summer. Blues, NathanBlues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JRock 0 #80 April 8, 2004 We got 6 or 7 loads up on the first day. Their are packers a huge hanger to pack. When we get going full steam I think you will be able to jump your ass off! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Angela. ya whatever.... ***shannon.. you want to borrow a fishing pole?.. ive got one somwhere. but im not touching the fish... so dont even ask.... Quote Yeah!! I totally want to borrow a pole. I LOOOOVE fishing and no silly you don't have to touch my fish..or worm. I'm a big girl and I can touch my own worms. Hey wait a minute..never mind not going there! I hope everyone can stop being so silly and just get their butts out to the Fram and check it out for themselves. Your totally missing the whole point anyway. It's just about getting people together to have fun and leave all that ickiness behind you. We just want to make new friends, hang with old friends and make happy memories. I mean really...find something else chauvinistic to complain about like the fact that Annika Sorenstam can't play on the PGA tour. NOW THAT is descrimination! She rocks and totally put those guys in their places. (You get my point...) Why can't we all get along??? I just want to jump and have fun doing it. Leave all that other stuff behind and come play. RIGHT??? Yeah, come on! Do it Again! P.M.S. #22 LaLa Gang #4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites freeflypimp 0 #84 April 8, 2004 You rock girl!
