Facebook

I was guilted in to starting a FB account. But it is a great way to find people that you haven’t spoken to in years. It’s awesome for a pilot, I’ve gone to lunch with my best friend from grade school in Chicago. That would have never happened otherwise. In the winter, instead of calling every pilot friend I know I can just say “In PBI for the weekend, anyone want to grab a beer?”

That being said, with Will’s generation of “emo” kids, I can understand what he means, just go to lamebook.com and see all the depressed, whiny, young guys out there. It is kind of a generation of tools.

My kids have balls and that’s the way I like it. I don’t allow the underwear hanging out, the crooked cap, none of that crap. They know better. They work hard in school (Stright A, honor roll), excel in Kung Fu, play other sports (baseball, soccer), respect their teachers and ALL their elders. And I owe it all to my wife, bless her heart. I am lucky and pray it stays that way.

Amen!

:laughing: I’m still waiting for the button I dont have to press… :wink:

Dmn Dami you’ve Btch slapped me twice today.
In my own defense I was watching jeopardy (DVR) and ALSO my spell check didn’t catch it, in retrospect I am the worst speller in the world.

Although I respect your comment about being repressed I also need to say that haveing lived that Wills part of the country and seen first hand ultra conservative America, and also knowing that there is a 90% chance the his family is of German decent and ultra conservative.
In my own defense I also said that I was not judging him.

In closing Dami, please get off your high horse, I enjoy having Will744 in the forum, and ment no disrespect to him.

HUMOR :open_mouth:
Now if you want to take this outside… we can do that.

I have this burning desire to ask this question…if I form an opinion about someone based solely on my perception about that person, is it considered judging? Reason for the question? I get that statement thrown at me alot here. (The “buckle” of the bible belt) Just curious.

We are all products of our up bringing-
A crack-heads kid will be a or crack-head etc, etc… any kid of a crack-head that turns out good is the exception.
That being said, you can apply that to any background. Are your views similar to that of your parents? If not you’re the exception. It’s the law of Premise- The first thing learned is best remembered.
I am not judging AT ALL.

How do you explain the so called generation gap of the 50-70’s? A whole generation of exceptions?

LSD

Good answer :laughing:

How about the current generation of “It’s not my fault’s.”?

They’re genetically flawed as a result of their parents’ LSD use.

Let me guess, you are twelve.

I’ll help you with some reasoning skills.

First, ask yourself why? Why would someone object to having to press a button on an internet page for a flight tracking website?

Obvious answer: That person has no internet access when the button needs to be pressed.

The button needs to be pressed at or shortly after the departure of an airplane on an instrument flight plan.

Who would not have internet access to flight aware and facebook during the departure phase of an IFR flight?

I’ll give you 3 guesses, genius.

I dont think he had the full scope of what you were referring to. As I did. Appeared as if you were being somewhat lazy. However, I’m no longer on FB…as I fear being categorized as a “pansey”…by a 14yr old…god forbid!!! :open_mouth:

Okay, okay. Getting off high horse and onto tall pony. Need to do this baby steps at a time. :slight_smile:

Isn’t that the Bai-Kow Leg Wrap?

HAY-OOOOOO!!!

See, that is what happens when everyone gets wrapped up in spell check. They pass on the obvious “sick and wrong” jokes.

:laughing:

Maybe this will lighten up the thread again.

Yes! It Is! :slight_smile:

We’re considering other alert delivery channels, including twitter, facebook, etc so you could sign up in advance and we’d insert the flight information when it happens.
