they didn't. tax deferment for retirement accounts is another special social manipulation. another 'subsidy' for wall street Those with libertarians inclinations out there - if you REALLY want to stick with it, you have to give up, 529 college plans for your kids, mortgage interest deductions, tax deferred retirement plans, etc etc etc. It's easy to identify the tax penalties and subsidies for other people and corps, etc. But to get down to the simplist tax code that's fair and even for everyone (no adjustments, one single low tax rate), ALL the stupid favoritism has to go.

I've long suspected that Doctors are also people. So, when they are being clinical and professional, they certainly call it a fetus.

As the same school of safety as the Deputy. The rule is actually - "always assume it's loaded so do not point it at anything you do not want to shoot" I like that one just as much as "clear the freakin' gun" both are appropriate - I'll give rush the benefit of the doubt for writing the rule wrong but getting the intent correct ...

I'll use whatever tool necessary to teach people to clear their weapon properly. And even if you blatantly do it before handing it to me, guess what? I'll do it for myself. And if it's a gun I've never touched, I'll ask you how and not pretend or guess. They can do it to Yankee Doodle Dandy if that works.

^ I don't think a thread with a bunch of anecdotes is the thing, other than as examples that people overcame their issues. Each student is different. I think finding a good instructor, and then trusting them enough to talk about your fears honestly is the best way. Hopefully, if it's normal fear, his interest and information is good enough. (don't read this wrong, people. it's not a freaking therapy session, it's a couple of exchanges during question and answer parts of the normal training) If the fear is irrational and affects performance, then the instructor should get the chance to know that as well (either advise the student to quit or get professional counseling, then). Gladly, I've never encountered this....so far. . . . or, suck it up, make that first jump or two, and see the reality of it before deciding to be scared......trust me, we know who's got a bit of fear during the training, it's never very well hidden. ...

I don't see how the DZ made a mistake here..... Bringing it up to the first person just meant they assumed the best of both sides and expected a courteous response (either he: 1 - covers it up if he's crossed the line between being provocative and confrontative, or 2 - he then has the opportunity to open up a dialogue if it's an innocent misunderstanding, or 3 - leave if he doesn't want to deal with it either way) I don't think it's a mistake to expect courtesy from others. However, I'm not giving a pass to either the jumper or the Qatar general. A general should 'lead'. and that means he needs to be above the conflict - he should have instructed his men that they were visitors and to ignore this kind of thing and be professional. the jumper,,,,well, we've beaten that side to death. ...

^ This. Yes, Exactly. ^ yes (I find tattoos to be a bit dim anyway, but different strokes for different folks, right? But to deface your body for the purpose of making a negative statement about others..... When you could make a positive statement about something you are 'for'..... Frankly, it's a bit passive aggressive, and though an individual has every right to do whatever they want with their skin, it's a childish use of that skin. Frankly, if someone wants to make a "statement", IMHO, the best 'statement' you can make is to live your life in the best you know how. today - (looking back to a post Skymama posted about how vets used to act courteously, etc) people aren't polite, they are passive aggressive, anonymous, and constantly outraged. The world would be a better place if we looked each other in the eyes, and found ways to politely communicate what we think, and expect and assume the same from others. the political correctness trend has made people, in general, into a bunch of whispering, outraged sissies that mumble out of the side of their mouths and then get outraged and vengeful - provided they can do it indirectly and not face to face) ...

I would agree with one addition: you, your carry-ons, and your checked baggage go on the scale. THEN, they just consider your body weight and if you weigh more than a certain amount (275? 300?) you automatically get a second seat assigned to you so that you aren't spilling over the armrest into the seats of the poor souls next to you. AND: boarding order will be set based on the total weight of carry-on baggage you have. If you're going to be hauling an obviously-oversized roller bag, jacket, backpack, purse, and fast food onto the plane with you, then get thee behind me. Let me and my one legal-sized carry-on get settled, and then you can fight it out with all the other arses who were too lazy to check a bag.

Testify, brother. some might argue that they never 'needed' it in the first place, they just 'got it'. some might also argue that money may have stifled the most efficient growth of that very industry or a better industry that never came to be other might argue the opposite apparently and that a government 'kick start' is the greatest thing since the wheel and nothing ever really happens without it I suppose the test is whether you think Tang is a tasty drink or not.
