:hmm: Push the limits of humanity... I wonder what that could mean. o_O

Be as kind as possible?
Be as human as possible?
Be all things to all people?

For you it's just wear as much body armor as possible and ride your motorcycle around the block repeatedly.

It means that us powerlifters are the shizz. Risking injury every time we attempt a new PR. He is saying get off your couch and bench, squat and deadlift already. ;)

Interesting that we're discussing people who have been removed from the gene pool and you don't have any kids. That must be where this coward name calling is originating from.

Fragile egos are smashed so easily.

FWIW, your step-nephew will probably have kids b/c he's so awesome. Different gene pool though.

You think my ego was affected?

However; I am raising technically 3 'kids' now, an 11, 16 and my fiancee's 23 year old daughter.

My step-nephew has a child. It's been about 5+ years now since he's been a captain.

Go back under your rock, it's safe there.

No more coward? I'll give you credit, once called out at least you know when to quit.

Studs (like captains) have their own progeny, they don't raise other stud's kids. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I give my stepdad some credit for how I turned out. But he wasn't a stud/ladies man like my dad. ;)

Flying is pretty damn safe.

I'd rather fly than ride a motorcycle, or drag race down streets at 2 am. I know a co-worker who lost 3 friends in a matter of 4 months because they all got into car crashes while racing.

Yeah, but you'd probably not get as far if you were trying to ride a motorcycle from American Samoa to Honolulu.

His child is not his biological one though :confused:

Sorry, you were left behind because another woman's ass was more important to your biological father than his son.

Can't say I blame him in your case, but you are a coward...almost all your posts smack of that with every word.

The bottom line is that Darwin awards were handed out to the doofus father/son in the OP who were removed from the gene pool, much like you when you decided to remove yourself from the gene pool by raising another man's (i.e. stud) children. Not everyone gets to be a stud in life and have their DNA continue to dominate the world.

Yes, the cowardly can squat double their bodyweight and compete in powerlifting meets. Said noone ever.

We are trying to have our own child though :confused:

It doesn't make one a man or a good father just because they prove they can knock a woman up.

Lifting weight has nothing to do with bravery, you are perhaps the most cowardly powerlifter ever. Why do you even lift if you are so afraid of the world and doing anything?

yep, coward.

My step-nephew became the youngest captain in the US of a commercial ship. He started working with his dad very young who was a captain and that seat time in the cockpit added up. By 18 (maybe it was before that even), he had command over his own ship and crew.

bullshit post his name and airline.. By Federal law you have to be 23 get a Airline Transport Certification (commercial A/C captain) and have a min of 1500 hours flight time.

and they are called aircraft, ships float on the water.

Technically, the father cannot be a Darwin Award winner because he also has another son and daughter who weren't on the plane. ;)

And as someone who lives in their community, I can say that the boy was a good kid who everyone really liked. It is just a tragic accident.

Any 17 year old kid is basically blamless in something like this. I'm not sure I feel the same way about the father.

I didn't read the linked article so it may have been mentioned there, but these folks were Pakistani and were raising money (had already raised $500K) to build modern schools in Pakistan because the father was affected by 9/11 and thought that lack of modern education contributed to that attack. Their hearts were in the right place for sure.

You sound like just as big a piece of shit as your dad. I hate to defend alky, but he is clearly more of a man than you will ever be.

Darwin awards are for people who do unnecessary, overly risky things that involve their untimely deaths without leaving progeny.
That seems to fit here.

They aren't meant to make you feel better.
