They have a pilot's license, in some cases, but that's not saying much. It
says they had 40 hours and $6000, nothing more.


It's 40 hours more than what you have, isn't it?

You probably don't want to be calling everybody wannabes when
you've got no actual flight time.


Why not?


I think you're smarter than your behavior here suggests. Of course you
know why not. You'd not walk into a Marine enlisted club and call them
wannabes or you'd be sorting through your **** to find your teeth, and
then you'd understand the meaning of words like "bully" and "mean."

In any case, I wasn't calling _everyone_ a wannabe. There are some pilots
here who are actually worthy of the appellation.


You're not one of them, and you're certainly not qualified by any
measure anywhere to decide who is "worthy" and who isn't.

There are bums on the street who might have more money in their pocket than I
do, but that hardly makes them rich. Forty hours is nothing. Forty hours is
just five days. Most people can't even develop a decent level of skill in
driving a car in five days.

I think you're smarter than your behavior here suggests.


I think it's not so much what my behavior suggests as what you infer.

You'd not walk into a Marine enlisted club and call them
wannabes or you'd be sorting through your **** to find your teeth, and
then you'd understand the meaning of words like "bully" and "mean."


That would not make them right, nor would it make me wrong.

People who are upset often come up with analogies involving physical violence,
especially when they are male.

You're not one of them, and you're certainly not qualified by any
measure anywhere to decide who is "worthy" and who isn't.


Why should I lend any special credence to your opinion?

Well, not you, anyway.

Forty hours may be very little, but it's 40 hours more than you have,
moron. They have flown an airplane, you haven't. Once again, you've
proven to the world that YOU DON'T KNOW **** FROM SHINOLA.

No, numbnuts. Nothing, which is what you have, is nothing. Forty
hours, which is a lot less than what most of the people have here, is
forty hours you don't have, because you have nothing.

You're a poser.

No it isn't.
