  1. Quote yeah but unfortunately the oil companies have a stong influence on those sort of advancements. i feel a new mainstream energy is in the horizon though this could be it? we've had the wool pulled over our eyes long enough.

  2. it shouldn't matter what race or gender any leader is as lon as they do thier job effectivly. having said that though the national rifle association are just a bunch of rednecks from what i have seen. are guns really that important?

  3. thought this was quite funny, "I agree with Howard Stern. Debbie deserves that award because she made every young boy's dream come true. I'd much rather Benjamin lose his virginity to Debbie than to some priest." true enough though. i'm sure the boys loved every second of it, rather than what those filthy so called holier than thou selibate priests that are only getting un covered now. put thier victims through.

  4. hand guns are stupid. they should be banned. the nra are redneck morons (don't think thats a personal attack?) the only handgun i have ever layed my eyes on that wasn't on telly. has been in a police holster or a toy. i like it that way. having everybody cruizing around with them is just asking for unessecary death and injury. skydiving is much more athletic that should be in the olympics instead.

  5. new zealand marmite, that british stuff is made with feet and mouths isn't it? or was that lips and assholes? marmite on toast, cheese and marmite sandwiches, and marmite and lettuce sandwiches, yum. only difference between n.z. marmite and vegemite is a little sugar.

  6. yeah it sucks when govornments do that aye. like that young country that got rid of thier massive hemp industry that built the country and got the forefathers there. because they could sell a byproduct (plastic) of the 'new' oil indstry instead. then writing the whole thing out of the history books. and then boycotting many countries for using it as well so they can sell the byproduct to them as well.

  7. the bible is a book. who makes books. people. not gods people. if all existance can be made by a god or many gods. then why is a mare book. the proof of it all this. religon relates only to mankind (very selfish) human existance is only a stitch in time comparitively. there is much much more to life than human existance. as soon as the 'different' religons realise this. the world would be a much nicer place to live in.(but thats never going to happen) no relgon explains the solar system, dinasours or ice ages etc. because this was not understood by 'man' while the bible was written. how can people be so stupid as to beleive in that SHIT Crazy if as much time, energy and money was spent on sustainability, ecology, waste management and famine, as is spent on useless, time wasting religon then the future would be far less bleak. that money that gets thrown into the collection bag does not go to the poor. or to stop creatures from becoming extinct. it keeps the vicar in the latest model bmw.

  8. if you look at statistics only you will never get the actual truth. just visit a glacier or live next to one, see it/them receeding. go to holland and ask the technitions on the dykes. ask them if the oceans are rising they'll tell you. they definately are. statistics will fuck you up every time. that is why polititions don't see what is happening in the real world. of course the bloody place is warming up. it's so obvious "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix
  9. I do believe it is possoible for aliens to exist when you think of the vasness of the universe. what i find hard to belive is that our societies are run by religeous dickhead who can't take thier head out of the sand. and look past our planet(that was so obviously built just for us to take advantage of (NOT) why wouldn't aliens o0f some form or another exist?

  10. importantly donot hang your vector 3 on a gear rack. the riser covers will open all the time. store it on a shelf with the chest strapdown and the shoulder straps in place as if they were on you. since i started doing this mine have stayed in place but before they were shockers. just my$0.02 "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix
  11. yes religonis the cause of most of the worlds problems! it is stupid. religon relates only to mankind (very selfish) human existance is only a stitch in time comparitively. there is much much more to life than human existance. as soon as the 'different' religons realise this. the world would be a much nicer place to live in.(but thats never going to happen) no relgon explains the solar system, dinasours or ice ages etc. how can people be so stupid as to beleive in that SHIT if as much time, energy and money was spent on sustainability, ecology, waste management and famine, as is spent on useless, time wasting religon then the future would be far less bleak. that money that gets thrown into the collection bag does not go to the poor. or to stop creatures from becoming extinct. it keeps the vicar in the latest model bmw.

  13. Quote actually 'parachute systems'(formerly chute shop) still make them and they are now called ZPexe , they are the square casnopy and the hurricane is the elliptical. the contaners vortex2 are very good and have been updated with all the mod cons. like sabres zp's can open fast. but they are just as good as a sabre. i owned one for a bit and the current owner is very happy with it.

  14. Sorry, this theory has been thoroughly debunked over and over. It's so bloody stupid I can't even be bothered to cite sources on it. Taken from dictionary.com de·bunker n. Word History: One can readily see that debunk is constructed from the prefix de-, meaning “to remove,” and the word bunk. But what is the origin of the word bunk, denoting the nonsense that is to be removed? Bunk came from a place where much bunk has originated, the United States Congress. During the 16th Congress (1819-1821) Felix Walker, a representative from western North Carolina whose district included Buncombe County, carried on with a dull speech in the face of protests by his colleagues. Walker later explained he had felt obligated “to make a speech for Buncombe.” This Speech reminds me of G.W. I havn't seen the subject debunked whilst I have followed it, just denied by people accused or those who disbelieve the theory. G.W. is obviously very uneducated. He cannot perfom a speech without fucking it up. won't debate with anyone. his speeches are all very broad and don't mean much except they are doing what they want. he/they is/are hiding something. or many things. I really don't know what the fucks going on out there. But this theory does not seem out of the question. can you link me to some genuine debunking? not just opinion but genuine debunking. I have thought myself the the U.S. govornment would be, and has been capable of such atrocities. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

  16. there has been many civilisations over time. human life and 'progress' seem to be increasing at an alarming rate these days. i can remember when there was no such thing as a personal computer and remote controls. now we are 'dependant' on such things in some way or another. technology and consumtion are increasing at such an alarming rate and there seems to be no regard for ecology when it comes to progress. there seems to be no limit to what we can make or do with the earths recources, but the portrayed images of the future that i have seen all seem to include darkness, corruption and war. this seems to be what we envision the future will bring. there has even been absurd talk of living on another planet when this ones fucked. i'm just wondering how much longer everybody thinks our 'modern'/western lifestlye can go on before something, be it natural(climate change) or man made(nuclear war etc.) changes the way we live entirely?

  17. osiris, adio, circa, vans etc. all skate shoes are great. they are designed to grip on griptape but try to climb up a grassy slope you'l be on you ass in no time=good for swooping "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix
  18. to skydive at all. the need for new zealanders to become freefall photographers and tandem masters for our ever increasing commercial skydiving industry, gave me the opportunity to skydive at all. i was on the bones of my ass and the skydive diploma course came up and there was an opportunity to student loan my first 200 jumps and attain a commercial skydiving career. i did exactly that and have done 1800 tandem videos and now have a tandem rating and an aff rating. my fun jumping has only began really. and i love it so. now i am a comercial skydiver i can afford to do it. without camera i wouldn't have been able to do it. footage is the best. the jump becomes only a distant memory without it.

  19. you are obviously pro war so you see these things as negative. others do not. all the money the u.s. has spent pretending to make another country a better place to live could have made the u.s. a safe place to live. imagine if those billions were spent on health and education. instead those billion have lined the pockets of a small few. to some the war is negative, to you it obviously positive so once again we have a situation where it depends on what an individual believes. the media has to determine who to cater for so thier main audience will determine what they say. just like the war it is all about money(ratings) not the truth. thats capitalism for you though eh "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix
  20. not that i am a coach or super experienced. i have noticed many talking about 'sit flying' and sitting in a chair to correct a position etc. the best thing i have ever been told is that sitting is 'incorrect' so sitting in a chair won't really help. 'head up' flying is the more correct term and to correct poor position it is best to stand with your back against a wall with your heels against the wall at a neutral width. sitting in a chair only creates bad habits (such as having your arms back to counter the added drag of having your thighs exposed to the relative wind)that will have to be weened out later. feet should be below your bum and shoulders. sit flying is what they used to do before head up flying was perfected just my two cents "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix
  21. i'll have to agree with rhino that it is dangerous to swoop underloaded canopies. the recovery arc is far too small and leaves fuck all room for error. i was told this when i wasted myself on a 1.0 w/l i was told to downsize. i downsized to a w/l of 1.3 and the recovery arc was still too small. i did 800 jumps on that canopy though. i now have a w/l of 1.55 and that is much better and much more forgiving. i am now going to go 1.8 and crossbraced i attended a canopy control seminar that j.c. conclosure held and he said the same thing. underloaded swooping is too dangerous if you want to swoop get a good wingloading 1.4+ so just because the oldies got away with learning to swoop on low wing loadings doesn't mean it is safe. also low w/l are more suseptible to collapse and turbulence etc. 300 jumps shold be enough to go to 1.4-1.5 w/l if you are current enough, but i think 1.6 is a little too drastic "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix
  22. ah actually, kate sheppard, an new zealander campaigned to give woman the vote here in new zealand early last century, the first country in the modern world to do so. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

  24. without everything you 'are' incomplete. cheese heads? i wash my dick everyday sometimes twice. no cheese on this bad boy? noone has commented on my query about the fact that the foreskin becomes a part of the shaft of an erect penis, do circumcised charechters have smaller erect penises because they do not have the extention? my forskin gives me at least an inch more than if i was snipped i'm sure.

    bungy jumping

    i have doneover 10 bungee jumps and more bridge swings. it is a rush at first and definately more scry then skydiving(at first) but aftera while it is not so scary and boring/limited. the only reason i have done so many is beacaus i was a body double for a movie(fearless) and was getting paid for it. i wouldn't waste my money on it find a mate that is a good climber and set up a bridge swing. much more fun eh.
