  1. Well said. I think the term 'radical' or 'extremist' should not be used to describe these guys. When so few muslim leaders condemn the terrorists, when so many muslims publicly support their goals/actions, and even more support them in "private", they should be considered mainstream (I think opinion polls in muslim countries show this to be true). We should stop trying to fool ourselves into thinking that this is not a religious war. It is a one-sided religious war - their religion against the free world.

  2. Are the planes away to keep them busy while under the flight # restrictions from Judge McDummy? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  3. Brit Hume looked like a chipmunk in freefall. --------------------------------------------------------------------- And that implies that he doesn't look like a chipmunk when not in free fall?? --------- No way, his long face looks more like a horse, a lot like John Kerry. And Ryoder, of course I meant GHWB. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  4. No, being a whuffo means you don't understand why someone would want to do it. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  5. I already knew 90% of what was taught in the dope rope class. I did it the weekend I turned 18. If only I had known they would not check my age. Definitely not ever a whuffo.

  6. Howard has been quite political lately. He is very intolerant of conservatives. edit - I liked his OLD TV (mid '90s) show much better. Not the E!TV airing of his radio show, but where he would do skits like spot the lesbian...

  7. I'm quite conservative, and listen often to Beck and Rush, but I usually get very tired of their style after a short time. They both seem to take sooo long to make a simple point. Haven't listened to Hannity as much, but he seems better. On and on and on and on about the same thing they just said! Maybe it is being in a small 'booth' gets them to think that people didn't understand them the third time they said it. Maybe that is why Hannity seems better, he is used to being on TV. They could discuss so much more and let more callers in if they didn't go on so much.

  8. Never flown in an airplane? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  9. Why such bad cust service? Because they don't have to! They are the only game in town. Lily Tomlin had the skit on Laugh-In as the telephone operator, "We don't care - we don't have to! (snort)" People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  10. I have been in that situation. Doing a demo in the early '80's at Gallup, New Mexico (about 4-5000 ft. AGL) with a very tight landing area surrounded everywhere by huge boulders. Fortunately, I pulled real high and was able to clear the streamer. I did not want to use my 26 ft. HI-porosity reserve in that situation. Plus, there was a $100 prize for accuracy! The Safety flyer square reserve may have been available at the time, but VERY few had one. It was pretty stupid looking back at it, but it was also unheard of to not jump on breezy days because of the round reserve on your back. Even without high winds, most demos I have done would nowadays not be considered safe with a round reserve, but at the time it was not an issue. It is good that equipment now does not involve wondering such things at a critical time as, "will I land harder under my round reserve or under this partial mal of my main". It is my opinion that gear fear such as this may have caused some to delay too long before deciding to execute emergency procedures. Using your reserve, without first deploying your main is an easy no hassle way to get some experience with your reserve. Just carry a couple or three large sized hook knives. You don't get the experience of cutting away, but it is safer than an intentional cutaway without a tertiary.

  11. Are you ready for father/son, mother/daughter, father/daughter marriages, etc. marriages? I think that is what you must accept if you give gays the right to marry. Of course his faith in God is important to him, but how has he run the country out of a bible? Would you like your kids to be listening to whatever Howard Stern wants to say before school with their friends. Some limitation on broadcast radio and television is OK with you, isn't it? He attacked us every other day or so when trying to shoot down planes patrolling the no fly zone. He did not and would not live up to his obligations under the cease fire agreement. What should the consequences be? You can't have freedom for free. The prime minister of England before Winston Churchill, Neville Chamberlain thought that he could. Churchill was thought of by many as a warmonger/extremist. That opinion later changed. 'The Gathering Storm' by Churchill is a good read. See ya Saturday?

  12. Well said. The desire by some to remove all references to God/religion from government entities is not supported by the constitution.

  13. Bush will win. A young Kerry will be shown telling the Congress that the atrocities were widespread and condoned by the military leadership. Well, at least that's what a lot of people I trust told me. Oh, one more thing, I didn't see any atrocities or take part in them myself, but every soldier who served there should be treated as a suspect. That is an example of a guy showing himself to be an ASSHAT People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  14. Thankfully, your in depth analysis of the constitution does not agree with real constitutional scholars, most important among them, the Supreme Court.

  15. How can you conclude it was because of their partisan views? It was official policy (with no action) of the Clinton admin to pursue regime change in Iraq. Was he also doing it because of his partisan views? You're ability to know other's motives is limited. edit-everyone (the UN, European countries, Clinton, etc.) was misled to a degree. Even Sadam was misled by his officials that did not want to admit the truth about what weapons and capability he really had. There is an important difference in being misled and wanting to mislead People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  16. You can put more in if you make them stand up at the front of the cabin like we had to do in old Beech 18's. Seat belts were not used and it was a really uncomfortable spot unless you were quite short.

  17. So what does the balance of groups on one side or the other prove? If the balance was 10:1 would that prove something? Seems like a weak way to support a position, "Just as many say it isn't so - na na pllffff!"

  18. Certainly not discredited. In fact a member of the commission publicly talked of his dismay on how many press reports distort their conclusion. (I'll link this story later) http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,122870,00.html I understand how difficult it is for liberals to be out of power, it wasn't easy for conservatives either.

  19. The later PD study did address the simultaneous/near simultaneous deployment scenario. Make no mistake, you risk an entanglement in either procedure, 2 out scenarios are easy to handle. A good thread on this subject: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_flat;post=597809;page=1;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;mh=25; People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  20. How about the language police in Quebec? To operate a retail store, you MUST be able to speak French. There was a story in a Toronto paper about a mini mart owner from Pakistan that operated the store with just himself and his wife. A judge ordered them to take French lessons. He did not have the right to deny himself business from French-only speakers. That is not freedom. That is screwed up.

  22. You have made the right decision. Please tell all of your like-minded friends to do the same. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  23. How is this confirmed? If the drop test is done from an airplane, say at 300 ft above the ground, then the "path" of the drop is longer than 300 ft vertical distance. Is there any limitation on this 300 ft requirement? Flying fast would certainly be the obvious way to get a positive result.

  24. The rigger informed you that the battery replacement was due. You did not request him to delay the replacement, or else you would have been informed that he would need to remove the AAD in order to comply with your request. The AAD must be maintainer per mfg instructions. No ethical dilemma. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  25. That is not at all agreed to be the proper procedure. Here's a link to the PD and army study of 2 out scenarios. It is arguable how it applies to different sized or smaller, high performance canopies, but it is a starting point for real knowledge rather than conjecture. http://www.performancedesigns.com/docs/dualsq.pdf People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.
