  1. I suspect the cop knew him. I suspect the results would be the same as long as the cop recognized him despite whatever costume he wore. I suspect that if the cop knows a real middle eastern citizen in his town and the citizen is in good standing, the result would be the same. there's a real benefit in living where the local cops know their citizens personally big urban areas suck precisely because of the anonymity - it pretty much requires that people will bucket others into preconceive stereotypes like Kevin does ...

  2. As soon as Obama starts forcing unarmed citizens to buy guns, then I'll accept his forced health care insurance. funny - I'd fight against Obama if he forces citizens to buy against their will as well (I recognize you wrote that in a wry tone to note it's super unlikely) ...

  3. BV's hypothetical is dead on, you're ignoring the assumption of constant wind all the way down. You are right that they are opening in the same spot every single time (over the earth), but ignoring that the canopies after opening have significant drift (so the assumption that the canopies open and are relatively static after opening just doesn't apply here) right back atcha - do the math (that hypothetical might confuse a few youngsters, but to those that are 'getting it', it will hammer it home even better) ...

  4. If this is all in respect to what to do after the wrapped and flaked canopy is laid down (just prior to putting it in the bag).... then this is what I do - easier to get into the bag since you use the bag to control the material at a halfway point (do the apex fold first and insert that folded part into the bag - THEN bring up the grommet end and push it into the middle fold already in the bag). end result is the exact same pattern as if you did all the final s-folds in the traditional pattern (grommets up then apex down) and try to control whole brick into the d-bag I'll teach this to people that have trouble getting the brick in the bag doesn't have a name AFAIK. but whatever works, and it's nice to have another option Edit: From the other thread http://www.sidsrigging.com/articles/greed.htm I figured this out on my own a long time ago - surprised to see it's actually very popular. ...

  5. An assumption on your part not founded in fact. he's just assuming you have a hidden agenda or he does or someone does stop it, I can't keep the hidden agenda straight anymore TOO MANY as for voter fraud being a non-problem, I have two words for you Al Franken I question the wide eyed innocence of someone that says voter fraud on both parties doesn't happen when the stakes are big enough ...

  6. interesting, so if someone has a genuine position that voter ID is a good thing - you just dismiss them as having ulterior motives I wonder what your real agenda is......hmmmmm ...

  7. no such thing as a dumb question - just dumb people that ask lots of questions I hate "nuff said" - indicates a really closed mind or narcissistic person to say that - plus the shorthand is low brow "better late than never" - not if you work on the bomb squad "it's just my luck" (whiners) - people own their fate, this is a defeatist statement from the get go plenty more ...

  8. Let's give them the gas chamber and then shoot them. Then we can electrocute them and then finally hang them. if you do it now, then the trial will go a lot more smoothly too were the suspects white/white, hispanic/white, black/white, asian/white? How about the victims? the part that sucks here is that 5 people are dead, that's the priority. I don't see how the story is any worse or any better because of cosmetic issues. But maybe some people can generate some outrage over the cosmetics instead of the tragedy and make some money on it ...

  9. despite having a population 63x greater, we've never had a shooting like they saw in Norway. And that makes which difference to those many mass shootings in your country, occuring on a regular basis? Did you bother to add the killed people? I mean, just to compare to Norway again, pick a US State of the same geographic size and population and makeup and go ahead and make the comparison ...

  10. you don't think education gets subsidized with tax dollars? I haven't seen 1 liberal complain about the cost of a college degree. that cost is rising faster than gas. 60k to 200k for a degree that will pay 30k-60k a year? incebting the graduates for life? funny how the market works - inject a bunch of tax money into universities and colleges and the cost goes up so fast that people need assistance to even pay for it - and then the cost goes up more because assistance is given and now people need more money soon - idiots that don't understand economics start insisting that college should be "free" (i.e., can't someone else pay for me?) ...

  14. I like it. 5 vs 4 in either direction should be a vote of no confidence in the law. If the supreme court can't achieve at least a 6 to 3 vote or even a 7 to 2 vote, then the law should be overturned as a subjective pile of crap and sent back to the Legislation to write it better. Make the Legislature do its job right and draft clear laws that are in line with the Constitution. ...

  15. Excuse me but how would you consider this topic not skydive related if these guys are suspended from skydiving for allegedly smoking pot the night before? you think this topic is about skydiving? that's interesting when it happens, you'll know - the usual crowd hijacks this kind of stuff all the time.

  16.

  18. What is the policy of the DZ? If it's the DZO's private property, then he can make the rules. Is it illegal in Norway? How old were the jumpers? Did they have a history of putting the DZO in legal jeopardy? Did they have a history of doing stupid stuff while high or drunk? seems like one side of the story is here only with little details - you'll just get the dopers and the anti-dopers giving their personal opinions - likely in Speaker's Corner before the page turns. ...

  23. their job is absolutely to ignore their personal and subjective ideologies and just focus on constitutionality (unless their personal ideology actually is "constitution" = "top priority") I don't think the constitution is a Ouija board, YMMV, but NOT if you are a SC Justice. That's the whole point. I absolutely admire any judge that can admit he has a personal objection to a ruling, but still does it because that's what the law says.
