It is never acceptable to divert one's attention from the flying task.


This statement demonstrates a complete lack of real flying knowledge.


Considering his warped definition of "flying," it is not surprising.

Alcohol and strip joints don't terrify me. I simply know that taking drugs is
a bad idea, because I'm not stupid. And a strip joint contains nothing that
would be of interest to me, so I see no reason to waste time visiting one.


Only a pontificating twit would automaticaly equate alcohol with drugs.

Strip joints contain real people and social interaction, neither of
which you seem to hold any interest for you.


They also contain women. Naked women. Usually at least one good
looking naked woman.


Premise: Strip clubs contain naked women.
Premise: Strip clubs do not contain ANYTHING that interests Mxmanic.
Conclusion: Naked women don't interest Mxsmanic.


Therefo
Premise (a): Homosexual men are not interested in naked women.
Premise (b): Heterosexual women are not interested in naked women
(Undistributed Middle Conclusion and ad hominem attack): Mxsmanic is a
homosexual man or a heterosexual woman.


In my case, my lack of interest is that I don't care for PAYING to see
naked women. (Although some might argue that I "pay" on a daily basis
at home g)


It was never specified as either a staight strip club or gay strip club,
so the only possible conclusion is he is asexual like a fungus.

Most people have the related objective of social interaction (i.e. BS)
with other people, so the conclusion is he has no interest in human
contact of any kind.

Good point, but in the context of the thread, a reasonable conclusion
was that I was referring to a "gentlemen's club" due to the fact that
I was originally referring to the statement that he has "done all
sorts of things with a beautiful girl next to [him]."


Most people have the related objective of social interaction (i.e. BS)

contact of any kind.


Reasonable conclusion. The DSM-IV calls it "Social Phobia," I
believe. I also believe that there is treatment available for it as
well. g

And it isn't your place to assume or imply that he is or isn't.
That is his personal life with his wife, and is no business of yours to
bring up anywhere.


I didn't bring it up; someone else did. And if you consider such things not
my business, try to remember that the next time you decide to make personal
comments about me (such as in this very post of yours, see below).


There is a big difference between personal comments and common
knowledge. Common Knowledge: you live in Paris. Common knowledge: your
knowledge of aviation and flying is as limited as a prostitute's
knowledge of quantum physics. You said it yourself, that you have no
interest in dealing with the opposite sex and would rather sit at your
simulator all day/night long. I just pointed out the irony of that with
the city of Paris. You only have yourself to blame for putting yourself
out on the line like that. Next time, you may want to check yourself.

You've proven my point regarding social ineptness.


See above.


I have a life, including a significant other. While I may not
have as much experience as others here, I do possess a steady
knowledge of aviation and flying; not as much as those who do it here
for a living, but enough for them to realize that I am learning, and
not assuming that anything simulated is real. I can interact with
people rather than be a reclusive leper. Hell, I can interact with
Bertie, and that's a feat in itself!

Like I said. Leper, socially inept. If you want to be a
reclusive hermit, go all out and move to some deep dark forest; don't
do it in a place where the irony of your existence can always be
exploted.

Bottom line: you want respect with this group of people who
have the experience you keep blasting and claim that their experience
is wrong, you have to earn it. By doing what you're doing, you never
will, and that is your loss, not the rest of us, or anyone in this
group. Heh.. Tina is rather very new to this group, and she's already
seen through you. But once again, I digress.. I remember (once again)
who I am responding to.

Anyone remember "Leisure Suite Larry"?


That made me spit out my coffee! LSL is a CLASSIC! I still have

Damn you. Now I have to go break it out and play it again.

Do you have a 5 1/4" drive to put it in?

Can your screen run in CGA mode?

Didn't Ernest Gann, (spelling screwed up?) in one of his books talk
about a captain lighting matches under the nose of his first officer
while the FO was flying in bad weather or an approach or something, as
a way of teaching concentration?

Well, if you had a choice of distractions. . . .
