And Belgium.



Thanks Van der Beck aka WX Man.
It's no doubt the same thing. They also tell you to feed the poor for example. You are not told to think about it, to debate about it. You are told to do it. This is because the moral choices have been made before and it would be time consuming to make them again. Furthermore changing opinion could disrupt society. Most of the time this is a good thing. Sometimes it causes difficulties. The word eugenetics will cause people to shiver, but it could end a lot of suffering.

Well, I'm not going to sit here and say that I can prove it, because I can't, but it did happen. It was pretty awkward. And it made me realise that people are far more caring than you would suspect. Within a minute four persons had gathered around her and they all did their best to help.
A friend of mine said the same thing (i think, his mouth was wired shut). He had an accident recently, where he fell off a bike whislt taking his jumper off. Its nice people took their time out to help pick his teeth up from under cars and such

Aren't 3 hours still too much? You could easily drive 319km by car for 3 hours. Or did you do some aerobatics up there?
Tell me you did. It's cool to have someone in this forum who can do the inside loop. :D
lol no, no loops. I flew to two different airports and I had a strong head wind going one way and a slight tail wind going to my second destination. Plus originally my plan was to fly at 2,500 feet but my instructor felt that I should fly at 4,500 but my planning was all done according to the winds aloft at 2,500 so that changed things. So originally it was supposed to take me 112 minutes at a speed of 97mph but it ended up taking me longer.

Screw the math, I'm just happy to have it done. I was shitting bricks before I went on this flight :sick:

Thanks dude.

Funny story, 3 days ago in Downtown Dubai, a filipina lady was walking and their was a dude following her. All of a sudden, this dude starts touching her and shit and she was struggling and no one bothered helping her on a heavy street with people walking and cars honking. Everyone minded their own bussiness, how fucked up is that ? Fucking Dubai.

How big is that thing you're flying? And can you do loops?

I'm not surprised. The image of the people of UAE I got in Abu Dhabi showed me that they treat foreigners (non-white foreigners) like shit. I was so disgusted.

Cessna 172, 4 seater. I'm not sure what you mean by loops but I can tell you it's not an acrobatic aircraft.


Aight, I'm taking a nap. I'm tired as hell and I still feel like I'm in an airplane.

Alen, it was actually 200 statute miles (ca 319 km).
Ah, so that's what they mean by "statute of limitations"...

Congrats, Zé! :party:

Sounds like liberal Berkeley, CA to me. When I was living there, my housemate had a massive kidney stone attack that laid him flat on the ground and unable to speak -- it hit him out of nowhere and landed him flat on his back along the sidewalks of the UC Berkeley campus. All the Berkeleyites just stepped over him, thinking he was just some homeless guy asking for change.
