QUOTE: Originally posted by jhhtrainsplanes Now I am going to put back on my nice, sweet demeanor and make another comment. I do LIKE the black judge. Sorry, I don't watch enough TV to remember his name. He shows intelligence and wisdom. He is not rude or arrogant. He is more tolerant than "the loud-mouthed hag" and I believe he makes better rulings. So there you have Jim's 2 cents for the day. [:p]
QUOTE: Originally posted by dharmon There are some things that I can say and alot I can't, at least not in this forum, maybe in a few years over some beer. The AC 130 guys have a tough job to do. They are alot closer to the action than most. I, as do most Navy types, don't have alot of nice things to say about my Air Force brethren.....but the blue boys that fly the AC and MC130s and the Pave series H-53s and H60s are a different breed, so naturally they are the *** children within their service. Those dudes rock. They have great big brass kahunas and have my admiration for the little known and very important jobs they do support the dudes in the dirt.
QUOTE: Originally posted by jhhtrainsplanes I am going to step out of my nicer than nice and sweeter than sweet demeanor (hopefully Dan is still flying low over the tracks in Denver and shooting at possumes and will be too busy to make a comment here [;)] [}:)] [8D] ) and make a comment.
QUOTE: Originally posted by jchnhtfd Got to admit that I don't mind thrill seekers who only imperil themselves. I like to think of it as a variant of the Darwin effect. That said, however! There jerks (excuse me, ladies)... These dodos imperil every train they go after (ever see what happens when you go full emergency on a long train, lightly loaded up front? Interesting...) which is bad enough. What's even worse is that when they get hurt (or killed) there is always some sick lawyer out there suing the railroad, the engineer, the conductor, and everyone else in sight.[:(!]

QUOTE: Originally posted by edblysard Most of the folks I know who have stood on a night time flight deck, or wear the Dolphins, have more guts, courage and brains than any other group of young people in the world. We Americans should be ashamed at what we pay them to do this, but its the pride in service, and Honor and Love of Country that keeps them there. All of us owe them more than we could ever pay...

Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.

QUOTE: Originally posted by zardoz Perhaps all the 'thrill-seekers" like mentioned above, as well as the morons who participate in prime-time tv 'reality' shows should volunteer to do time in the military on the front lines, or travel in their spoiled-brat vehicles to Central or South America through the war-ravaged countries, or maybe go to some African nations where people are starving to death daily or dying from AIDS. Now THAT would be courage. Let them be faced with immenent death from a source other than idle thrills, and then see how soon they have to change their shorts. To be living a life that is so pathetic that one has to seek 'the thrill of danger' in order to feel some sense of fulfillment, could possibly be considered a sign that a re-evaluation of what is important might be due.
