Very Easy to Fly Warbirds

Haha, I just had a 'mild' laugh. People are too serious and touchy about certain topics.

Arguments should be fought with facts and the topic at hand, not subjectivity.

Down with the Taboos!

And well, back to the 'touchy' item at hand. The pilot may have been a real person, but he flew that bird like a gambling player on a sim. It's really sad.

But at least he went down much better than the regular person/civilian who loses their life by a lost bullet at the streets.

(Or having some sort of strange object driven into their bodies through sexual means and dying of a hemorrhage)  So a toast for the brave gambler out there!

You are correct, my friend.

Now everyone let's relax, go and fly-play some more, drink a beer or watch some nice asian softcore pictures...

eh... sorry, kinda projecting myself there :lol


Anyways, I'm out for the evening. Let's all be buddies, life is short and as we just saw, you never know how long you're going to last! :aok

How ironic then that you know nothing of Proudfoot or the accident but feel free to post about it, eh?

Aw c'mon, dragging me into the pointless battle? Fine fine... I'll just throw something in my defense:


I may NOT know about that. But I know a flawed argument when I see one.

Yeah, I saw your flawed argument right off. Nice of you to admit it though.

Furthermore, Toad, My point has not being related to the details of the 'video', moreso to the lingering on the 'death' topic. But hey! Whatever flows in your river...

I may be wrong, you may be right. But I'm sure you're a great guy. ;)

Could you remind me which part of my 'argument' was flawed? :)

well at least something made me laugh. Dude (a) calling Dude (b) to help him out on a bulletin board thread. Making Dude (b) register to post and everything. Now THAT's funny!

There's your flaw. You admit you know nothing of Proudfoot or the accident but you were eager to take your "facts" and discuss the "topic" at hand.

Big flaw to try to take facts you don't have to the topic at hand.

He messaged me (on msn) to just read it.   I'm slightly depressed for a few bad situations in my life (currently) so I felt like I needed attention...

So... I posted for the thrill and enjoyment of... having attention *wipes single tear*  :)
