  1. WTF is an equally qualified applicant? How do you measure it? Unless you're talking about flipping burgers, there is no way. It's purely subjective. Just like why one person gets hired over another. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  2. I understand you're trying to make a distinction, but that's about reparations or punishment, not leveling the proverbial playing field. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  3. Yeah, look at Bill Cosby making comments about $500 sneakers. It's racism that the problem. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  4. I'm not Catholic; so, I don't think it's particularly significant to me. There are other things in christian religious history that bother me more than this book, even if true. On the other hand, there have been some books written to rebut the DaVinci Code. Go to bn.com or amazon and type "Davinci code" in. There were 3 books on the first page of 37 hits. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  5. Have I been to Florida.... Does living in Palm Beach County count? -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  6. Why was it a sham? Gore lost Florida any way you slice it or however many chads you count. Get over it. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  7. Do you see black doctors moving back into slums or into the suburbs? How about teachers, lawyers, executives...? Is it the inner city black youth who benefit by AA or the suburbanite's son or daughter? What does affirmative action do? Who does it benefit? Does it lift up or merely advantage those whose parents have worked hard to rise up from their humble beginnings? Beyond initial hiring, is it fair to elevate less qualified people to higher positions because of sex, race, etc? e.g. 20 years experience with a company v. a 5 year AA? Do these racists or their progeny look at someone and say only because of AA...? Cavaet: These are only thoughts for discussion and I ask them, 'cause I don't know. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

  8. Um, you usually go to the penalty box for 1/30th of the game or until the other side scores, not every game for the next 20 seasons. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt

  10. That sounds REALLY cheap since a new Cypress is $1200-ish. The stock answer around here is ask your instructor for what (which you have) and ask your local rigger for his thoughts and to inspect anything you're interested in. If you want to freefly, you'll want a newer rig that is designed for it. (I'd be avoiding velcro and looking for bridle protection). You should read the articles in this forum and do a few searches, which will answer a lot of questions. Good luck!

  11. Hello, my name is jib and I did a 3 cartwheels as a result of downwinding it at about 18 knots. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  12. Phantasm 2? ...You stupid haggis. What is haggis? Sheep's stomach stuffed with meat and barley. And what do you do with it? -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  13. What we've got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach, so you get what we had here last week which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it. And I don't like it any more than you men. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  14. One should always be ready for a nice splak before dinner, don't you think? -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt

    What's a leader?

    No, a dictator does whatever he pleases. He wasn't elected and can't be impeached nor is he subject to the checks and balances of our three prong system. Refining the question, do you elect someone because he's going to follow popular opinion or because you trust him to consider everything including popular opinion and "do the right thing?" -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

  16. The difference is there's little the nerds can do at the time to avoid or change it. No cash. No way to get it. They have to rely on the school. Hazing is/was a fraternal tradition and college jock dorms, cars, cash, etc... Does that make it right? -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  17. Do you really think the Germans and French would have ever agreed? -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt

    What's a leader?

    For purposes of being a leader of a country, were you elected to be an extension of popular opinion, because the people had confidence in your ability to make the right call in spite of popular opinion if necessary or something else? It strikes me that Clinton was rather concerned about popular opinion and Bush sticks by his guns. For Gawain: Before Clinton was elected, I took a class on leadership and we read a lot about leaders being extensions of their constituents. I disagreed and its now 12 years later. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  19. I have no idea about Columbine, but elsewhere, schools fail to safeguard smart kids, dorks, geeks, spazzes, losers, etc. and instead approve only success in athletics... what's cool. They demand conformity and the ones that abide by it lose. Kallend, why do people do the same things with fully developed brains? -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

  20. Or, the only real-time information to come from it initially is from an Arabic source. No US spin. Do you think it won't be reported here? It's "cameras and tape recorders." -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  21. BASE, cave or tech (helium) diving, climbing -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  22. Just curious how many people around here smoke 'em and what they like Including Cubans, I like Fuente Hemingways the best! -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  23. As of yesterday, Stacy-Palooza was canceled. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  24. I'd go on it, but if they presented me with maggot infested rotten cheese marinaded in screaming cockroach, bile and ant puree, I bail. Otherwise, no problem. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  25. Isn't two years of hormone therapy like steriods? -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
