"There are old shamans

But there are no old, bold shamans."

Suggesting a hint of bravery and good sense go hand in hand when hand

If by "absconded from" you mean "stole,"

No I did not.

Mainly curious about how difficult that was.
Thanks.

Nearly died a month or so ago, Jan 16th...

This is about the trip to the hospital.

The fact that he didn't die and that he was able to deploy his
shoot is incredible IMO. If he were clowning around, I might agree
with the prior "unnecessary risks" comment. But he knows what the
risks are. Our special forces take risks like that, perhaps for a
better purpose but not as much fun.

Well, they're clearly not "necessary", given that he isn't doing
anything that has any bigger purpose than having fun. But yeah, he
shows some signs of understanding what he's doing, being prepared to do
HIS part in an emergency, and being pretty careful. Still, as you say,
he just got hurt pretty bad.

No disrespect intended, it just depends on the politic in charge.

Wrong, As dangerous as a Specops mission is, they are well thought
out and executed and normally are highly successful.

I think the "politic in charge" remark was about "perhaps for a better
purpose".

Wrong,

Bull****.

You just contradicted yourself.

Well thought out and risky = difficult.

SF is rarely a bunch of hotdogs.

You mean like on TV? Of course not. Then again, Jeb Corliss
doesn't use a stuntman or props.

They know their job and do it probably beyond human capability

Are you in a movie?

but chance takers they aren't.

You are playing semantics. I'm not interested in playing semantics.

Then you should go away instead of coming here if your objective is to
challenge people if you don't get satisfaction to your question.
Likewise if you don't like the answer to your question don't ask it.

I didn't ask the original question. And as for going away, are
you going to grab my left wrist that I am typing with and wrench
it to force me to go away?

Sorry Daryl I didn't mean you I meant the original poster. He came
onto a usernet hiding behind a false name and a keyboard asked a
controversial question with the intent of starting **** and and
succeeded well. Lookit he sucked in at least 70 responses. He's
smiling thinking what a bunch of looser gliderpilots.

Sorry Daryl I didn't mean you I meant the "John Doe" The little guy
hiding behind the keyboard and the alias. He came onto this site with
intention of starting **** and didn't like that he didn't get the
answer he wanted. He sucked all he could into this with a stupid
question.

Actually, he sparked a very good discussion when you filter and ignore
the normal garbage.
