[QUOTE=D-Roy;20012549]Your current status is the same as mine, I guess you could say. Yeah, racism/sexism exists in the world, but I live in Georgia. I've lived in Alabama at some point, and the racism was nowhere near as bad there as it is here. I'm Asian (inb4smallpenis), so I'm always called a terrorist, Chinese, or something else by fucktards, but I learned to not give a shit. If you can learn not to give a shit about what they say, or to just ignore it, you're fine and can do whatever. As long as that whatever isn't being a douchebag, that is.[/QUOTE] I don't know, I'm Chinese and I live in New York, and people tend to not be racist at all here. Either that or I'm just immune to it. Also, being called Chinese just because you are Asian is a common misconception. Don't worry about it, jeez.

I might join the airforce to fly, my old man even encourages it :D I love to fly too
I love the sky too, but I don't think I will have the money to ever learn how to fly or have my own chopper. This video inspires me but I do not have the courage or skill for this either [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttz5oPpF1Js[/media] My advise is learn how to fly as a hobby, not as a job.
Do it if it's your dream

Actually, instinct teaches you that, too.
Kick the guys in the balls if they make fun of you for being a pilot. My friend's mom is a pilot. She loves it, and he gets like free airfare or something.

The video I showed you was actually about gliding into the air, not basejumping. As you can see they glide, not fall straight to the ground. Maybe a more obvious video with an air glider. Looks like a great hobby to me. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZRM8glN9gQ[/media]
You should definitely pursue it, if you've got enough money. Lessons are really expensive.
If a woman can become a governor then what the hell is stopping them from flying planes?
[QUOTE=kellybear;20012601]Depends on if I get my license and what kind of what kind of pilot you mean. What field or what will I fly? I'd like to become a commercial pilot; they have a nice juicy paycheck. On the other hand it's very difficult for women to become commercial pilots. I'd go into the military for aviation but they'd be all "pfft whatever"[/QUOTE] I would hate being a commercial pilot. The thought of having two hundred or so people under your care and one little mistake kills them all is just too hard.

When you enjoy flying, go for it.
If you enjoy planes, then go for it. Don't let what anyone says stop you, you are whatever you want to be. I had no idea there was discrimination against female pilots, though. I guess that means you'll just have to be the best damned pilot out there. :patriot:
If that's what you want to do, fuckin do it!

Pilot's hold certificates, not licenses.
[QUOTE=blackdenton;20013166]Pilot's hold certificates, not licenses.[/QUOTE] You can get both smart arse. Pilot licenses are less restricted then a certification. It all depends on why type of aircraft you pilot and what type of work you want to do.
flying is awesome. do it!
If you want to be a damn pilot, go for it. Don't be a goddamn wimp and be like "BUT.. BUT.. THE BOYS SAID I'M AN ICKY GIRL AND I CANT FLY T___________T"
Is your house really so big that you need a plane to fly the sandwhich to your boyfriend?
