Another home wrecked

And far more lives are lost in cars than light aircraft. 43,200 in
2005. Guess we should close all those car dealerships, huh?

But of course there could be other epidmemics...

By comparison, highway deaths qualify as more of an epidemic than
aircraft. Call me biased here, but if you gotta see facts...

Calling King, Calling King: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!

You keep getting confused, and off the point. Its houses, houses, homes,
residences. Not number of accidents, not car dealerships,...

Oh never mind. The brain damage is apparently too severe.

I'm willing to take that bet. So what are your numbers and how are they
derived?

Man, this is becoming an epidemic!


Yes it is. Greedy developers building houses in unsafe locations is
reaching epidemic proportions, and these developers should start facing
the financial burden of relocation and demolition of the houses they
build and sell.



You can blame the planning commissioners for that, they should say no but
kickbacks are an amazing thing...

WTF indeed. It is you that keeps missing the point. You quote two or
three accidents where an aircraft crashes into a house and call it an
epidemic (clearly you don't know the definition of the word, but I'll
leave it at that) Tragic for sure, but it hardly compares to the 43,000
some-odd deaths on the highway last year. That is certainly more of an
epidemic - do you follow now?

It can't be THAT bad, after all I did finish the training and get my
license. Can you say the same? Eh?

I think Pete Duniho was right. You're just not worth the effort and
pointing out your inconsistencies has become tiring.

LOL. Maybe I should have said "pandemic."

Here's another close call from the land down under, from yesterday..

You had to go global to get a tiny scrap of news in which even the cat
didn't get sick! You are really barking up the wrong tree this time. You
have valid points on many occasions, but your new mania about airplanes
frequently doing damage or injuring people on the ground is pure falsehood,
and if you respect yourself intellectually you should get off it and on to
something better supported by the record.

You're on! Let's see the data that supports this notion.

Does this mean you wont be my sponsor, on the AOPA student pilot adoption
program??

LOL.

BTW: You have not ever pointed out a single inconsistency in my opinions,
and you can't.

I don't have the numbers, and never said (or implied) that I did. I
simply stated that I would bet that is the case. If anyone can get that
data and I am wrong, I will gladly send $25. ;-)

Or buy houses adjacent to a freeway and complain about the noise/dirt...

Shoot me, now!!

You're not *that* close to the freeway!
