Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

I'm pretty sure trying to fly is a pretty common experience, and many of those people tried really really hard.

I did. I settled on doing it with mechanical help.

RIght! What kid didn't jump off a chair/table/stairs hoping to fly, it fails. Then you get a cape, because Superman wears a cape so OBVIOUSLY you needed the cape..., then jump again and it fails. So you try again a few times, maybe with a super hero pose when you jump. Then someone yells at you to stop doing that...

Just flying with a paraglider is fucking amazing. I bet this moron never even tried that. Twenty hours + theory exam and you're good to go.
