Why people delight in belittling what other people enjoy, support or believe in? (running and ducking)

It's a lot more fun up in the pointy end of the plane.
Umm... What end is that again?
This picture validates the old reply when people complain about getting seats at the rear of the plane: At least airplanes don't back into the side of a mountain...That Aria flight did land with a crosswind!
Well, not sure if crosswind had anything to do with it, but it came in a bit fast, landed long, then run out of runway.
Those modified Hondas a) the noise from the muffler is really annoying unless you have a 5-7 yr boy's mentality b) it's still a 4 cylinder & c) the cost to install can exceed the value of the car
"Unhooked generation"? Is that like the "Sunkist Club" for vasectomies..... all juice, no seeds
It's a hypercompetitive society out there, and it appears to me that some folks think creating the "right" environment for a 2-year-old will give them an early advantage in the college admissions game, I suspect. These days it's never too early to gain a competitive advantage.What I don't get is all the new things they have for baby care . What baby needs a gym or a specialized pillow ?

Yep, that's it.
I borrowed an old "stop smoking" campaign slogan (join the unhooked generation). Just seemed to fit. Tried to Google and I see that the phrase has been purloined and co-opted by so many other folks that the original meaning seems to be lost. I guess that's how you know how effective someone's add campaign is. The message becomes incorporated into the vernacular.
A funny (to everyone else ) sidelight: As you know, the "procedure" is done with local anesthetic. With the first cut, I rose off the table as the anesthetic had not been completely effective. Kind of reminds me of (IIRC) a Cosby album bit regarding the same subject. The Dr. is working away while Cos is relaxing on the table. The Dr. says "Oooops!" Don't recall the rest of the bit.
Sure they got all the bugs worked out of this procedure by now, heh, heh. YMMV
Flying in the Aleutians, those crosswind landings are routine. Takeoffs are even more interesting when from the cockpit, in my case usually the jump seat, while still in ground effect turn sideways, and watching the scenery go across the windscreen.
The pilot balancing power to accelerate but not too much, so we were not scraping the mountainside with the nose or the tail but still gaining altitude, and not take off the church spires going over town.
I was always in awe of the Reeve Aleutian Air pilots, they could do amazing things with YS11s.
I don't get why:
They call it the American Cancer Society? Shouldn't it be the American Anti-Cancer Society? We don't have an Animal Cruelty Society, do we ( I hope not! I'm not an animal 'lover' but I hate to see them suffer)?

George Carlin: why do they call it a hot water heater. Hot water doesn't need to be heated. What you want is a COLD water heater
No, you are already relatively close to those islands, and you should still go.Nui <------- takes the Aleutians off her bucket list of places to go
