You can't. Anyone who tells you differently is full of shit. Perhaps it's the acoustics in here. He had a knife, I had a baton. He wasn't very experienced with his weapon, I was well trained with mine. You don't want to believe that, fine by me. Michael

I have the Samsung E-715. http://reviews-zdnet.com.com/Samsung_SGH_E715/4505-6454_16-30606146.html?tag=pdtl-list I took a lot of pics the first week or so and still take a few now and then. Two button pushes and you're ready to fire away with tons of memory (4MB). I've stored several dozen pics with no problem. Quality is OK for a snapshot (640 x 480) and it's pretty cool being at a boogie, snaping a fun pic and immediately sending it to an absent CRWDog. Someone posted that they were useless in indoor lighting. I don't have any experience with other picture phones, but this one works fine in even moderate indoor lighting. I got the phone without any consideration for the picture phone feature and am delighted with it performance (as a phone :). The pic option is just a pleasant bonus. Michael

I guess reading my post implied that I agreed with her and was congratulating her on her splendid character judgment ;). This was not the case, brother. By a 'good post', I meant that she simply stated that she had read your posts and that she did not respect your judment based on the content. I don't see a damn thing wrong with that.

Not according to the poll... It's a pity they won't tell us how they did it.. I can't see how you can't get cut, and consider forearms a sacrificial component - and guessing you'll have time to plug before you bleed out. Obviously, some care needs to be taken to protect your neck, inner arms and inner thighs, as they're high mortality areas. t Easy, He had a knife, I had a baton.

Funny, when I read your comment above, "Juvenile" was the first thought in my mind as well. Grouping people together (giving all a bad name) for the actions of a few is certainly not what i'd call "mature". I might have be offended by your calling me a "cheap, punk-ass shitwad hypocrite" if I hadn't already lost so much respect for your opinion by reading other unnecessarily judgemental posts of yours. Later. Angela. This post got a 'fair warning' from Bill??????? You said you read what he has written and do not respect him for it. BFD. Good post, Andrea. Michael

Good bye my brother. Blue Skies! Michael

Dude! You do not want that sharp/pointy/stabbing thing on a rig. Well, he got out of the entanglement ...but he stabbed himself seven times in the process. BSBD, Michael

Damn. I read all the responses. Apparently no one saw the movie. Michael "It's like the man says, I'd rather burn in at 200 miles per hour and have some laughs, then (die) in a car accident, that's a really dumb way to go."

Maybe, but alone at 80 is probably pretty fucking lonely. Kelly Why? Because society says so? Society says you should find one person to love, trust and grow with for the rest of your life. This is an illusion. It exists for the protection and perpetuation of the societal structure. Any benefit to the individuals involved is mostly serendipitous. Now, if you can find someone to share a loving, growing, fantastically hot and fun relationship for a year or so, I recommend going for it or you will still more than likely be alone at 80 and will have missed out on truck load of love, personal growth and fun Me? I'm one of those selfish guys. I settled for five ~two to three year relationships that were ...incredible. Intelligent, loving. adventurous, lustful, joyful relationships that were started with the clear understanding that we would not marry, have kids, buy a house, divorce, hate each other. They were the most incredible times of my life ...second only, perhaps, to the awesome years I had just to myself :) Interesting thing about women; The vast majority of middle aged women I've known haven't spent any significant times in their lives exploring the world and themselves. They pretty much moved from one relationship to another, eventually got married, had a kid or two, got divorced and then their lives were pretty much in the mold. The most incredible women I have know have spent years of their lives alone, unattached and exploring life and themselves. Don't knock the alone thing. If used well, it will make us better people.

Ain't they clods? Sittin' there suckin' them green toady frogs. Suckin' them hopper toads, suckin' them chunckers, Suckin' them leapy types, suckin' them plunkers.

How to be a Toad Sucker? No way to duck it; getcha self a toad, rare back and suck it! A great time at Carolina Sky Sports! Thanks to all!!!! Michael

Different times, different type of skydiver. In the 70's, breakoff for a 4-way was 2K and standard opening altitude was 1500' ...bump it up 500' for 8-way. BSBD, Michael

Deliberately ~800 feet Not deliberately ~500

Anyone find it interesting this discussion takes place on a most PC forum? If so, do you see any parallels as to future effect? Michael

I think you are right. I am going to explain my position again very clearly so not even Juansky will be able to turn around my words. There is several aspects of this issue. LEGALLY: Not much to discuss, under the law it is wrong. If you dont like the law move to north pole where you will have more freedom. MORALLY: Is it Morally right or wrong? Under what moral? Under the bible a while ago was normal to marry old guys with 13 years old girls. Islam even let you have two (as long as you treat them properly). Your values may not be the same than mine, that is why we have laws. So Morally it comes down to yourself to decide whether it is right or wrong. You still has to obey the law, though. Personally, AS I STATED BEFORE, is wrong. Even if it is only because i wouldn´t do it. You may say it is alright, and i will be happy enough as long as you obey the law. As a side note, my personal rules is that i am not engaging in any sexual activity with a girl whose age don´t follow this equation (my age/2)+7 (i am 28, so 28/2+7, i wouldn´t be sleeping with anyone whose age is not at least 21.) i know it sounds silly, but it gives sensible numbers for any age Please, do note that all this it is consistent with what i have stated before. There is something that we must be aware though. Has any harm being done to the teenager(he was not a child)? I don´t think so. He was not physically raped, and although some people could say that he was to young to consent and that he didn´t understand what was going on (BS IMO) at some point they had sex in front of his cousin who was AT LEAST 16 (he was driving), so everybody knew what was going on. That is why i allowed myself to joke about the subject after 7 or 8 guys had done it before. Juanesky must be in love with me to notice only me among everybody who posted a funny remark. Had any harm being done to anyone even if he or she was over the age of consent (ie. Rape) i wouldn´t have written any joke at all, of that you can be sure. Please Juanesky, if you want to reply to this post, do read it thoroughly first and don´t include any threat or personal attack. Thank you. Call it what you want, I believe your insensitivity ot (or lack of undestanding of) the everyday emotional turmoil of teenagers leads you to make some pretty stupid statements. Michael

Hang in there, bro. You're doing the right thing ...you know that. It still hurts, but you know it's the right thing to do. Michael

or what. i think it's a bad ass shot of kaz getting ready to do some swooping at the hills. tony is an outstanding photographer and i'm glad he got the cover shot and i'm glad kaz got the spotlight. chicas rock. arlo Ditto the 'what' category. Pic looks cool to me. Michael

I used to be somewhat of a nail biter ...till I started nursing school. No matter how well or how frequently I washed my hands, I would just think about where they had been. :) Michael

Well, we begun it not as a "cool club"...lol, but as a way to bond and unite ourselves. Of course, people can choose to see whatever they want or think themselves, and that is not cool. Some people may think negative connotations where there previously were none, thus making it a derogatory or insensitive term. OK, but I still think you have a problem with unbroken people, not from just this thread, but from having read many of your prior posts. Michael

See, I told you you often have no idea... My bad ...it's just that you speak the language so fluently.

Are you sure you're not a woman???

Pedophilia is a psychiatric term Statutory rape is a legal term

Ok, am I the only one that has no fricking idea what he's talking about!? Michael

" No jokes about or references to pedophilia. None." Please ammend to add: "Unless it's a female pedophile" Michael
