Quote Should have been "multiple answers allowed." It's fun and it keeps balance in nature. It's called the food chain. We're part of it. yes part of it not at the top of it! posessing guns dosn't allow us to be at the top. hunt for food not fun! in my mind that is murder. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

what do you mean keeps nature in balance? nature balances out itself. do you mean keep nature the same as 1 point in time and not allow it to adapt to the population increases or decreaces of certain animals? if you think hunting keeps nature in balance. start hunting humans because we are the cause of all the imbalances and if we are not then they are perfectly natural! personally i think sport hunting and fishing is barbaric and unneccecary. if it is done for a food source then sweet. leave the nature balancing to the department of conservation (or what ever you have in your country) because i think you'll find hunting and fishing only disrupts any balance in nature!

freestyle is essentially a genre of freefly isn't it? i think it is the most underated discipline in skydiving. i'm just getting into it with my girlfriend. hows the wicked fall rate changes. i like the fact the camera flyer gets scored as well it is pure teamwork!

i love to skydive, sometimes i can do 14 work(camera) jumps in a day! i enjoy them all mainly. but when you have done 14 yesterday and are on the 10th for today and can't take yourself off because someone is away then i can be very tiring. i think i get the most out of my jumps when i do 6-8 in a full day when it gets over 10 then there is not much time for analysis between jumps(gotta get packed for the next load and do those groundies). i'm not whinging, i love it. but it can get tiring when summer is in full swing!

for a start the u.s. should have agreed to the kyoto proticol years ago and not use your wanky veto's. why is money always a problem when it comes to the environment. if it wasn't for the environment we wouldn't be here in the first place so respect it. buy a japanese car. the u.s. cars are too big, go to another country and see how ridiculous an american car looks. everything is too big in america.

i guess you don't jump a stilletto with hat set up eh "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

i wanna/gonna get gold at our(n.z.) nationals with my girlfriend in freestyle. she is da bomb then i wanna go to the world meet "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

i am garanteed 1000 work(tandem camera) jumps a year i have done 184 work and 17 fun jumps in january and try to do as many fun jumps as i can afford! going to russia for 100 back to back fun jumps with my girlfriend(who has the same job as me) out of mi8 can't wait for that! i love my job!

i agree entirely, thats why i cant understand why GWB got back in. he is so blatantly thinking of his own pocket at the expense of the U.S. economy! just watch the U.S.$ go down and down. my prediction is the euro will become the stable currency the whole third world will be using instead of barrow loads of thier own! you can almost cover the tray of the barrow with U.S.$ already cheap slots for me though our $(nz) is going up QuoteIn reality a conservative would almost never go to war because while it is -very- good for a certain segment of the economy, overall it's a HUGE drag. Maybe not in the short term, but -certainly- in the long term. The U.S. taxpayers will be paying for Iraq for a -very- long time.

However I'm not surprised you omitted this given and the lengths you apear go to to twist any statistic to support your your attitude towards the UK gun laws.Quote yeah and what are the stats on murders in the different countries?, who is killing thier brothers and sisters! oh thats right michael moore tried to point that one out and everyone thinks he is an idiot apparently. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

i posted this poll and have watched the comments and statistics carefully! this has been a tool for me to learn more about the subject as i miss the news every day(183 work jumps and 18 fun jumps in january my record!) if the stats in this poll are irrelivant then why do these polls exist? and why are you taking part in one? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

i find it interesting that 1/3 of u.s. voters thinks he is a murderer and 2/3 of non u.s. voters think he is. so if this were a jury what would happen in a world court or a u.s. court? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

aaaaah actually you should re read the history books yourself! new zealand was colonised by the english, yes there were wars. the maori were very good at war and taught the westeners a thing or two(invented trench warfare) but came to an agreement in the end and now have a treaty(the treaty of waitangi). racism is not very abundant here as it is in the U.S. the news presenters greet the country in maori every day and we have to learn maori at school. what do we know of the american natives? too much because the U.S. don't give a damn about them! "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

not if they were following an order. the person who makes the order is responsanble. and if they don't follow the order they are punished! "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

any soldier that kills someone froma direct order is not resposable for that killing, who is giving the initial orders here? thousands are dead from his decisions. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

there was a great response to my post so we'll check the stats, remember skydivers are generally well off "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

when did saddam ever attack the U.S.? he never has and never will and probably never would have. the U.S. is constantly attacking people with W.M.D. it doesn't have to be a nuclear bomb to create mass destruction.(is ruining 1000's of years of cultural monuments mass destruction? i think so) the U.S. has all the bombs more than anyone else and uses them more than anyone else. the U.S is the threat the reigime needs to be taken out. since when does the U.S. want peace the U.S. makes far too much $ from weapons and they need to to finance all these wars. hows ya public health system? what public health system. howas ya welfare?, what welfare hows ya war? oh getting there. eventually "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

well not really i hate them but have had a bad experience in the past. about ten years ago so no just my hatred for the U.S. govornment explains the posts. did you look up the meaning of economy?(get those $ signs out of your greedy eyes and look it up) it has nothing to do with money! "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

QuoteOh goodie, yet another "all about oil" believer. Maybe you're the one who can correlate our actions in Iraq thus far to the taking of their oil. Better yet, maybe you're the one who can finally explain why we don't just invade Venezuala, owner of the THIRD largest oil reserves, and who is also much weaker and closer to the US than Iraq. i'm am an, all about oil believer too! and a U.S. basher! i'm not a bad person or closed minded! I just see a greedy country showing off all its glory, hiding all its evil and consuming far too many resources. this makes me very angry on a daily basis . I think it is my right to voice my opinion because our world is fucked and the U.S. is making sure it's fucked even sooner than it needs to be with it's wanky veto's etc. who give the U.S. the right to veto the kyoto proticol etc. the U.S. is only a few hundred years old and needs to assume the world (as we know it)is going to last longer than it really is and start looking after the fucken thing. i know many other couintries are just as bad if not worse but the U.S. has the image of the 'on to it' country that leads the world and the U.S. is always claiming to be the most powerful country in the world! bullshit. many countries have history over 1000 years but are not big fat consumers that don't know the meaning of the word ECONOMY (bet you thought of money then didn't you,greedy bastard, look in the dictionary at the '1st' meaning of the word) go find some nature(if you can?), learn to appreciate it and it's millons of years or history, then you might realise what, 'all about oil' and 'U.S. bashers' are actually on about! if that doesn't work just take a whole load of mushrooms and you will become a U.S. basher too(you'll see a bit too much reality for your own liking) i don't hate american people. just the govornment the way they treat the world everyone has to live here.

QuoteRhys - the US is a republic of individual states, who set the local laws separately. For the most part this has become less true over time and the federal government supercedes local jurisdiction, but that's where we came from. yeah but you all live by that out dated constitution. so the N.R.A. and gun hording christians get away with possessing weapons that are exclusively man killers. get with the times man! we don't need that shit! "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

QuoteGo back to tending your sheep. It was an American war President that kept you from being taken over by the Japs in WWII... yeah but it wasn't until the japs invaded the u.s. that they gave a fuck about anyone else . far too much money being made out of selling weapons to give a shit! at least the japs have honour. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

is that why i can buy stuff from the U.S. for cheaper than i ever have been able to before, i might be able to afford a jumping holiday to the U.S. next year at this rate looks like he is doing such a great job for your country.just watch your dollar get weaker and weaker as the excuses get weaker and weaker. he is a murderer and needs to be punished severely for his crimes. thousands are dead because of his selfish decisions. when's george the third coming? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

unpatriotic to a rogue country who's constitution was written for and by gun slinging rednecks. you guys make me laugh. seems stupid you have to licence a gun in separate states? who knows where you are gonna end up if you are a bodyguard! "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

all those dead people for what? weapons of mass destruction? oh thats right there wasn't any! but i guess he's making it more affordable for me to come and jump in the U.S. by running your countries economy and reputation down the drain. he should be hung for his violent crimes! why does he get away with it i cant figure it out? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

bro your helmets are the shit. when are you gonna make a top mount? my mate lost her helmet (not one of yours) when she got riser slap from her reserve the other day! bummber jump eh? i like top mounts but i like your styles. light, good good and looks good! you ever thought about making them?
