In the Netherlands you only need a medical if you are a student (less than B licence) or if you are a Tandem Instructor. It is nowhere near as complicated as what you describe; certainly no cardiac stress testing. So no, I don't think it is because of European regulations. The list of items that a doctor is supposed to check (and sign off) is stated in our national regulations; it is NOT a standard sports physical check. It is also not the same as a pilots medical. So perhaps the same goes for Italy? Are you sure that the medical you requested is the one you need for skydiving, and not one that is far too extensive?

I think you could swap "Sanctuary Laws" with just about any pressing issue right now.

I think most Trump supporters don't understand what "Sanctuary Laws" actually are. All the other stuff you're talking about: housing, food, humanitarian projects; those have nothing to do with sanctuary laws. The basis of Sanctuary laws is to assist law enforcement. People are less likely to report a crime against them or to act as a witness if they have to worry about deportation. Sanctuary laws prevent someone from being detained and deported due to alien status if they are a witness to or victim of a crime. This is a good thing, unless you're in favor of alien populations being a vulnerable target for violent crimes.

I wrote a whole long reply but I deleted it all, because it's not worth it.

Borrow the money, run up huge debt, declare bankruptcy. It's how Trump always does it.

Given the demographic shift in France it will be rebuilt as a Mosque

Billy - take your pathetic pandering of a "Muslim conspiracy to burn it down" to another forum. You are on your last warning on this and anything else on this track will just have your accounts banned. All reports from the Parisian fire department indicate this started in the attic of the nave while in the middle of major reconstruction. The number of workplace construction fires is astronomical due to things like sparks from cutting, tools and other items. The entire wooden roof with out a sprinkler system would have had the structure condemned if it was a commercial building instead of a house of worship. Those timbers were several hundred years old and were as dry as tinder so the slightest spark meant they were going to burn with out a way of stopping it.

So your thread has nothing to do with the concept of sanctuary cities. Shouldn’t it be called “Sanctuary houses...” so we can all be clear that you’re talking about a concept no-one else is?

BBC News: Zambia bans 'Viagra' energy drink https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-47654020 Stephen Colbert: "Obviously, not a soft drink."

There are a couple women in Sweden who think otherwise. Sweden has never been known to kowtow to the USA.

No - I dont harbor people like that. NOR do I advocate that others should.

Right. Would I be in favor of refugees coming to my city, being able to find housing and work and making their homes here? Sure. I'd even be willing to donate money to local charities to help them out. Maybe volunteer to help them get moved in, teach them stuff they need to know, that sort of thing. In fact, my city went through that a fairly long time ago, when we had Hmong (Vietnamese) refugees settle here. Of course, the bigots and xenophobes all had shit-fits. They settled in quite well for the most part. A few criminals here & there, but no more than the rest of the 'native' population. Would I want them in my house? No.

No. He's just trolling. Read the rest of the one-liners he's posted in the last day or so.

Hi yobnoc, Better than not. Jerry Baumchen

The Gentle Marine As the crowded airliner is about to take off, the peace is shattered by a five-year-old boy who picks that moment to throw a wild temper tantrum. No matter what his frustrated, embarrassed mother does to try to calm him down the boy continues to scream furiously and kick the seats around him. Suddenly, from the rear of the plane, a man in a U.S. Marine Corps uniform is seen slowly walking forward up the aisle. Stopping the flustered mother with an upraised hand, the courtly, soft-spoken Marine leans down and, motioning toward his chest, whispers something into the boy's ear. Instantly, the boy calms down, gently takes his mother's hand, and quietly fastens his seat belt. All the other passengers burst into spontaneous applause. As the Marine slowly makes his way back to his seat, one of the flight attendants touches his sleeve. "Excuse me, sir," she asks quietly, "but could I ask you what magic words you used on that little boy?" The Marine smiles serenely and gently confides, "I showed him my pilot's wings, service stars, and battle ribbons, and explained that they entitle me to throw one passenger out the plane door, on any flight I choose, and that I was just about to make my selection for this flight.

Gotta admit that a lot of the jokes you post are cracking me up. Thanks.

No, but there is chin mount called skyClip (with cutaway) and a way to attach YI to G3 or Phantom X/XV,...
