Quite alot of those equate to "giving up" I don't let laps around the sun determine what activities I do and neither should you regardless of how many you've made recently (so when the fuck is someone going to optimize this forum for mobile? It's 2013 and this interface is terrible on mobile devices) ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

I'd say this is all an elaborate troll, but experience has revealed people really are this stupid. I would suggest,as others have, that you take up bowling but that ball return process can be tricky, wouldn't want you to claim I set you up for a broken finger. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Even If I wanted to answer that, I would have to peruse this incident much more than I have reading this thread on DZ.com IMO it is kind of irrelevant to talk about legal action. I doubt that there is ever going to be any. I merely wanted to say that based on the little info I have on this, I understand both sides here, and since you are so keen on only seeing the other side of this I wanted you to know that perhaps Im not as misinformed on my opinions as you thought I am. Thats all. I spent nearly 2 hours talking to a lawyer and a judge (who is also a veteran) about this last night as its been going around a number of different webforums, they are regulars at the bar and know I'm a skydiver they brought it up. Both of their first statements were to the effect of "What the fuck is this guy on about?" they were completely baffled that this guy thought he had a leg to stand on. as it continues, its pretty clear what he's on about; shameless self promotion and attention seeking at the expense of the DZ's reputation. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

and that is ultimately all that matters as a business owner. You are going to spend maybe a couple of hundred bucks, they are going to spend several thousand. You aren't keeping the lights on even much less paying employees and fuel. If no one else showed up at all while they were there the DZ would still run, who do you think is going to get greater consideration? Its simple economics under a capitalist system. I've a number of shirts that are/could be considered offensive to a number of different groups. If a business owner asks me to cover them or leave because it is affecting their business they are perfectly within their rights as a business owner. Making a fuss about it or pretending that I've suffered some great injustice because of what I CHOSE would just make me a douchebag. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

So you think you could win his case? Do you think he even has a case? I'll stick with the opinions of actual practicing lawyers vs those who havent passed the bar thanks. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Further illustrating how the standard of professionalism has fallen among the US Military. Were the Quatris being asses? Absolutely, but I don't hold them to the same level of professionalism, they are not US and don't represent the traditions and standards of the US Military I belonged to and support daily. This guy is an embarrassment. Suck it up cupcake. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

This. As a veteran this guy is an embarrassment no matter what hes been through. Nothing justifies his blatant self promotion or entitled attitude. He certainly wasn't trained to be this kind of jackass and it reflects poorly on everyone who remembers what professional means. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Freedom of religion is an internatinally recognized human right. Like I said it contains the right to belong to a religious group, and it contains the right to NOT belong to a religious group. This person expressed his human right for the latter. IMO it is very much a protected class. Bwaaaahhhhhhaaahhh, your opinion is not law and is clearly poorly informed based on the content of that post alone. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Yes, and what Im saying is that the business decision was discriminating. Discrimination is not illegal unless it is done based on a protected class. Tattooed is not a protected class. More to the topic "spending less" than others is not a protected class, big spenders always get better consideration and service under capitalism. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

This. He was given an option, apparently his desire to display his tattoo is stronger than his desire to skydive. This isn't a religious discussion at all, it's simple economics. Money talks and gets higher consideration by most businesses or they don't stay in busines s long. When "Team Infidel" is spending thousands a week they will get primary consideration for their whims. It's called capitalism. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
