  1. that's an unfair generalization: you can only determine that he favors: rape, assault, and burglary not high crime in general ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants

  3. what he said on the plus side - it's usually pretty easy to identify instructors that are in it for the satisfaction of providing the service/experience for the sake of the customer vs those that are in it just for themselves I've seen shining examples of both and REALLY appreciate you guys that do it right. ...

  4. (looking under the hood at the engine) "well, THERE's yer problem" sucks for you...... living in a country where the people decide what the government gets to do, and not the other way around ...

  5. I don't see any 'wings' involved here other than greed and fear mongering - It's cute how Raytheon is so upfront about it. Clearly there are too honest to succeed in this new market. It's all about executive orders, legislative favoritism, and subsidies, subsidies, subsidies. Clearly they don't understand that offering a 'green' solution to the free market is a loser move. All the money will be sucked up by big brother. "Business Opportunities" - a little late to the game compared to a lot of others. Like I said - cute. They might even be sincere about it - LMAO ...

  6. you have got to be kidding Picard is the epitomy of watered down, wimpy, self congratulatory smugness that lives his life in safe little simulators and spends most of his time preaching about a liberal philosophy and how much better he and his ilk are than the 'unenlightened'. He's the negative freaking stereotype of the flavor of lefty that everyone mocks. His staff had a (Two) character that had the sole purpose of talking about 'feelings'. the writers had no clue was a 'good' lefty is, they just ran with the ridiculous cliches that are out there. It would be like Ron writing script for what he thinks a left wing show really is. Or Funjumper writing a show about right wingers based on his bias. Kirk takes Picard's lunch money. Picard's girlfriends would rather be with Kirk, but they are too masculine to get anyone other than Picard. hell, the short series with Scott Bakula stayed on message better than the two new series.. . . . . . . . er....why are you all staring? did I go off topic? ...

    try the search function first - maybe go to the FF or Tunnel sections also lots of skydiving disciplines to enjoy - restricting to one is shortsighted ...

  9. JFK is still alive, and after 30 years of absolute military rule, his son is now in charge and milking the populace for bigger and shinier cities to be constructed in his honor. he's fat, short, and wears a really uptight little outfit. The right is arguing over the ability to own sharp pointy sticks longer than 3 feet. While naive wierdos all complain how great it is that Emil Kennedy is the absolute ruler and that if we just outlawed pointy sticks, the anger and violence in the inner cities would just go away and people would willingly share their government portioned weekly bread loaf with those less fortunate. A couple armies in the independent country of New Mexas are currently fighting - the Yangs are adamant that their old document the "Eed Penista" is the true passage to freedom. But they are losing as Emil is financing the freedom fighters of the Kahn army. All in all, it's a pretty nice day today, my weekly loaf of bread is mostly bread,....and I can pick out the few weevils crawling around in it. ...

  10. that might all be true. But his ACTIONS are what matters here and those actions need to be addressed. Those actions are not even about skydiving, they stand alone. I'd say (applies to the saudi woman that got groped too), you need to take his actions and pretend he was doing the exact same stuff in a Bar, at the grocery store, etc etc etc, add in the element that the customer is pretty much TRAPPED, both physically, and by the situation, and see how you feel about it now. Why should you respond any differently just because it's at the DZ? fortunately, the responses are either professional, or criminal, and we don't have resort to 'tough guy' antics, or vigilante childishness. Believe me, in the long run, you talking to him, or the DZO TALKING to him, or even having his rating removed, will be much better for him than a customer putting him in jail or taking away everything he owns in a lawsuit. ...

  11. Absolutely, it balances out the fact that only the same people can be racist and sexist..... for the slow people - comment is tongue in cheek in order to just highlight the silliness of either comment (and maybe the cashier didn't have a bias, maybe they see this all the time and was trying to figure out who walks their talk and who doesn't - maybe that cashier has some interesting results if they asked the question frequently.....) ...

    Racism?

    ya know? sometimes people are just assholes and they treat others crappy. others are just tools that get picked on a lot. to those that have a particular flavored chip on their shoulder (that they need to grind with an ax...continue quaintisms here) everything looks like their pet issue for all I know, the clerk was instructed to keep ANY customer from handling this expensive piece of inventory. for all I know, Oprah might have been acting like a jerk. but that doesn't stop people from jumping to a conclusion they've been indoctrinated in. those damn swiss - they are just out of hand - not recognizing and fawning over the big O if this was in the US, I'd assume that Oprah assumed racism or sexism, and the clerk was an animal rights activist that hated the leather purse and was keeping it from selling to anyone - instant misunderstanding ...

  13. +1 why do you need a parachute, why do you need a house bigger than 1200 sqft, why do you need a new car, let's keep going down that whole - "I should get to decide what other people should own" - road.

  14. maybe it's semantics or so, but here's how I see it: Bill of Rights relates how the government is limited in its intrusions on us. When individuals unjustly intrude upon others, then the government is obliged to stand up for the law, but not to define it as such. As for private party relationships, that's handled (legally) in terms of contractual relationships (and common courtesy, etc) - in this case, it's less "null and void" and more like "not applicable". My house (my apartment complex, my office building, etc) = my rules. But once gov gets involved, then both the constitution and contractual agreements both have to apply and not be in conflict. ...

  18. "Why yes, your honor, I contend that my client is actually a HERO. He saved countless lives by going on his nutter car driving killling spree. He could have used a (gasp, dramatic pause) gun and killed twice as many. Thus, he actually a hero for saving the difference." "In fact, vote for me for Senator, and I'll create a Cars for Guns program to exchange life saving cars for evil sentient guns. This will be restricted to homicidal insane people, and, of course, the handicapped and the poor" "To further save lives, in my second term as your Democratic Congressman, we'll be passing a new law requiring hybrid cars to be equipped with cow catchers instead of front bumpers - thus, cow catchers are 'free' " "Sure, Katie, I applied in the street and actually got THREE Obama-cars. I know we're restricted to one, but if you sign up with different reps, they rarely check if you already have one. I drove down 12 sidewalks yesterday. And, by my estimates, must have saved nearly 40 pedestrians due to using my car instead of an evil gun" "In my third term as governor, I promise to institute a new "Knives and Pointy Sticks for Cars and Guns Program - for the children" ...

  20. out of line - you need to tell the DZO and let them handle this piece of shit - he's putting the whole operation in jeopardy, he's treating the customers like crap, he's ruining the day for a person that should expect a great experience which DZ? anyone - we need to respond to these situations as if this passenger was our own family. Not be a jerk and physically attack him, but go after him professionally and make sure he doesn't do it again to another customer. this is the wrong job for this guy ...

  22. Good luck - everyone is different. I've had both knees take new ACLs. The cadaver graft is much easier. (My first was a patellar BTB graft, 2nd was cadaver). One general rule - the better fitness you have going in, the easier the recovery will be. Don't slack on the PT, hit it hard. the post surgery pain period can be a few days to a few weeks - again, depends on your tolerance and overall heath too. ...
