I would agree whole heartedly with the sentiment that some people deserve more repsect (of life or any other) than other low life scumbos.. The issue I have is that when someone is Drunk.. and not necessarily acting in a rational manner, you do not have the background knowledge to know if this is a lowlife or just someone acting based on alcohol and visions! - yes, protect your own life but you dont have the ability to fairly judge who deserves to live. This is why - courts carry out sentencing and not mobs on a street. Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk

Dunno?... Maybe out of humane decency? a mutual respect for life? or maybe the idea that the punishment fits the crime? If a DRUNKEN yob runs at me... I will try to avoid him... Alot of drunken people are out of control, not too many of them deserve to die for it. Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk

Gees... I do hope there is no traffic auditing in our office today! (when you said NOT SAFE THREADS I didnt realise you meant this one!!) To our InfoSec people now monitoring my actions - I'm Innocent! Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk

That is because... 1. I am not a Brit that suggested the US should ban guns. (I think its way too late for that over there) 2. I have been through enough gun debates already and have really said all I need to. However, you do have a tendendy to turn issues into a nationalistic ones.... So I dont see what point you think youve proved and can act smug about. Ohh yeah, what happened to your reply about the sword wielder? Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk

The main thing I think is wrong with your posts PJ is that you cannot identify between single people and groups... Us / Them / Britain / US / Africans / AIDS suffereres.. Enough of the sweeping generalisations please! I hate it when all you god damn white people do that. Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk

I have spoken to alot of people in the UK about their learning time length.... Obviously depends on cash... but I went to Florida... 2 week holiday... 50 jumps + 2 hours tunnel later I had had an awesome time and passed AFF and FS1 done my first 10way and could do what I liked when I got home Takes so much time back here to go through the system... and even when youve done your courses... there is still alot of sitting around Hopefully will get better one day!

Well - Either be part of the democratic process or not. Not just when it suits. (you asked what I would do!) An as for foreign policy - changing support for various nations based on reward not whats right is about the bottom of it. If US foreign policy was so loved - there wouldnt be such a problem - or is it just artistic disagreement to stars-stripes/red and blue that is fuelling the issue?

I have seen this before.... and would still be curious if 1 in 7 of your doctors accidentally kills someone EVERY year! But who knows Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk

Ok, Firstly.. again... Agreed - I shouldnt wish harm on you or anyone else for that matter. However when you are so unsympathetic to the suffering of others - its a first reaction to suggest that you swap places with them or experience similar discomfort. You said exaclty Which suggests : 1. That the most or all of the people that have got HIV have knowingly made choices which led them to infection. At best it is an insulting unfair statement about people that are suffering. Alot of people in this country are unaware of how large the problem is, and in a situation where you can live for years with no inication of a problem... this is an issue that snuck up on a society that do not have adequate facilities for alot of what you would take for granted - let alone STI prevention. Knowledge is growing - but if you were to speak to most of the infected people they would disagree that they had the slightest inclination of what they were about to experience. Having watched many many good people die from this, I can only believe that your insensitivity is achieved through no experience or contact with these people. Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk

If you dont have the OS CD... you could always download SP2 for XP from Microsoft.com Then... you get an up to date patch... and it does a refresh of files at the same time.... Just an idea.

I would say it depends on the volume of printing you want to do... I have an Epson all in one (which is great for all the things you want) but costs shit loads to run.... Look seriously at the ink costs! My colour laser is alot cheaper to run than my inkjet.

Absolutely right Kennedy - I was out of order with that line and appologise. Sorry PJ. It does make me a little angry when people can possible blame innocent victims of a horrific disease (which I have worked closely with). No one deserves that kind of illness.

I am happy to discuss the technicalities of tunnel design with anyone here - Our renovation project is planned very much with skydive and training in mind... and am happy to compare if you want to get into it Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk

Again you lack the ability to seperate the wood from the trees. Yes there are ignorant people with misguided beliefs. Yes there are people in third world countries that particpate in attrocities and kill people. Yes condoms are not as widely available there as they are here. NO ONE - deserves to be infected with a killer disease. PERIOD If you think that the millions of people that have it do in some way - thats FUCKED UP. If you think the HIV pandemic in Africa is the fault of all those people - I hope you meet someone that you need to defend yourself against with your knives and guns. I used to believe in everyones right to vote - there is one thing you are changing my mind about. Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk

Now most of what you say PJ I find funny... However this.. Quite frankly is in bad taste. To suggest that any nation suffering from a disease they dont want is ruinning the world shows just how twisted you are. YOU deserve to swap places with one of them for such remarks.

That would be like asking if I ever regretted having my warts burned off! (joke to all those that dont know that I have joint UK/US ties) Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk

Can we just do a sanity check on that.... 1953 was just after WW2 - I know you US peeps think we were backward and were totally reliant on the US - but we werent fighting on horses in shiney armour Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk

So WHY SHOULDNT the man be allowed to carry a sword? - It doesnt mean he wants to use it right? Maybe just defense? Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk

Well, as you asked... I would firstly not try to blur every issue into 'a war on terror' which les face it, is a rather large catchall. Secondly, as part of a united nations - and an advocate of democracy... would listen to the majority. Invading Iraq was at best an excuse to remove SH, (which dont get me wrong isnt bad IMO) but certainly not the banner that was waved as reasoning. So, as you cant undo what has been done instantly... firstly I would accept that my foreign policy is part of the problem, especially when it is very visible that most decisions boil down to money. How would I fix the shitty mess were in now? - dont know specifically as I dont know the guts of some of the detail.... but I would certainly be big enough to appologise for the crapper I had made of it so far.
