Hmmm, a substance that takes thousands if not millions of years to form, in a finite manner, is drilled at millions of barrels a day for decades.... No shit sherlock! I'm sure I have had conversations about this before here in the past; http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1544591;search_string=oilcrash.com;#1544591 "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

Produce a peer review of the official nist report, and explain why they took so long to produce the report but could ammened it in a heartbeat when the so called theorists pointed out the flaws. then we might go away. That whole thing is a joke! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCz8PNvABO0 http://www.plyrics.com/lyrics/nofx/thedecline.html "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

who is we? right wing, greedy, religous, selfish, gunslingers? the caring, sharing people that give a shit about others and the welfare of the country as a whole won. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

my arms are not 100 ft long Nah, but seriously, there is a thing about deploying a reserve when unstable, the skyhook will ensure linestretch, no hesitation, and no entaglement with the bridle. If i am spinning, and still have adequate height (no skyhook/rsl), I will regain stability before deploying the reserve, my left hand can be a vital part of regaining stability. I had a similar occurance on a standard RSL on a tandem, after chopping, i went head low and to the left, i put my left hand out to grab some air, and as i reached back for the reserve handle, the reserve inflated. the velcro had only just started to peel so i left the handle in place.

yeah it was moving towards the end! I am gutted i didn't get the landing too, i had heard so much about how shit the micro ravens flare i was concentrating quite hard on getting that right, i stood it up with a little run off, i wouldn't call it an amazing flare but not as bad as some make it out to be. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

i tried my skyhook not long ago, tention knots on my JVX86. couldn't clear them. lost 2000ft in the meantime, 1.2 seconds from cutaway to inflated reserve. 3/4 linetwist but all good. I didn't have time to extract the reserve ripcord! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBr5OW3LT0I "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

The rental gear may not be as well fitting as you might like/need. If the laterals are loose the rig will 'swim' around in freefall. If you get a custom harness, it will be made for you and the container will not move around so much. As a low time jumper, you will not be able to have the small container that you want for some time yet, but you can have a comfortable, safe and functional rig. I would suggest a vector micron, not the cheapest option out there but you get what you pay for. Take a look at karnagekrew.com for potentially the best retail prices around.

yes those are prime examples of those taking the dollar/livelihoods off the small guys. also large corporations like Weyerhaeuser, Rio Tinto and the other massive companies pilfering all the natural resources and palming thier antics off as sustainable.

socialism [soh-shuh-liz-uhm] –noun 1. a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole. 2. procedure or practice in accordance with this theory. 3. (in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles. Now because you read the third description last, do not forget the first description. Socialism is not about the govornment controlling things, it is about the people having the ultimate control. You lot seem to be OK with corporations taking over the very things our families have worked for over many generations.

Americans can be so stupid sometimes! For fucks sake, when you took tor pay, in the army, you were being socilaist, when you drive on your freeways, you are being socialist, when you watch you space shuttle launch into space, you are socialist. think about it? you are your own enemy you damned commie!

I've had strong lagstraps, and customer harness buckles slip significantly also. I find the french hardware much better than the old style buckles. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

yep, typical lawyer, skewing what people say to get brownie points for yourself. so, mountain boy, when you drive up to your cabin, on your undulating muddy, icy terrain. do you think a suburban wouuld be a good option, over a shorter wheel based , econimical, lighter car? You asked me what, I would think if; . those things would get stuck in no time, i bet nobody ever competes with then in 4wd competitions, they are made for soccer mums. you drive a volvo so i know you know this, biut you are not willing to admit it. if you read what i posted you will see that i mentioned the methane and tree removal but your lawyer like tunnel vision would have obscured that bit i suppose. have yo ever seen an area of open cast coal mining? we could go without cars, electricity, and all these things that contibute to pollution, but we will never go down that road, so we are left with the available options. Look into New Zealands hydro electric scheme, it is good. Unfortunately not every country has the opportunity to have such infrastructure but it is a damn sight better than burning coal, or creating nuclear waste. wank wank so if you could save a buck by destroying a peice of nature, would you do it?

You can choose one of the stock rigs from UPT vector and have it delivered with a custom harness in 3 weeks. http://www.uptvector.com/index.php?page=shop.browse&category_id=1&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=68 "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

In hindsight, do you think attacking iraq the way the US did was a good idea? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

a, i'm not american b, i am not a democrat c, those guys are politicians and will say whatever the people want to hear/will get them votes. d, americans need to realise there are people that are not republicans and not democrats or liberals. maybe this generalised perspective is a major source of the probelm, it is either us or them? tha fact of the matter is that, there were no WMD's, your government blatantly lied about it, 1000's of people are dead now because of these irrational/deliberate assumtions and they are not convicted as war criminals, yet! saddam could have been take out by a covert operation, yet the US thought it was a good idea to let the whole world know weeks in advance what they planned on doing. sayng saddam had to be stopped is one thing, unnecessarily killing thousands of civilians and soldiers by being idiotic, frivilous, and irrational is another.

actually you and your mates concentrated on it, i used it as an example, and you all jumped on the defensive. like a typical lawyer you avoid the truth and focus on the poit you are trying to make. I have to agree that volvos are safer than most, but an SUV is not needed to be safe. a volvo sedan is very safe! try water and gravity, my country uses 80% hydro electric, my island used 100% hydro electric. and the trees are removed before flooding the dams so don't start on the methane thing! how about this concept, re-use bags, take a backpack? I try not to waste, but you can't seem to grasp that concept. you're digging deep now, keep going! there is something we can agree on! Try taking bags to the supermarket with you next time, see if it makes you feel a little better about yourself? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

why do you own such a vehicle, do you use its capabilities or do you just think it is cool? I don't judge everyone i see, but there are some that are obviously just attention seekers. having a utility vehicle jacked up so high that you would need a ladder to get you tool box in the back is plain old stupid. having one full of tools or equipmen or stuff is fine. having a 4wd for 4wd'ing is also fine, having one to drop your fat kids 2 miles to school is pathetic.

i'm not an aircraft engineer or pilot but I do think you would be dreaming if you think 11 cessna loads would be more efficient than one otter load, not only is jet a1 less harmful/refined, turbines use less fuel when compared. less friction in a turbine than in a piston so I would put my money on a the otter! "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

Its not, just the post whores keep prooding for a reaction and chose that example to focus on. I share a car with 4 people, before this car/living in the USA i have not owned a car for for over 3 years, i have lived close enough to walk and i had an electric skateboard for the last year before coming here. I walk to work and only use the car to drive to the store every 3 days or so. i refuse plasic bags at the store, much to the amazement of the check out staff, i recycle, i often eat organic food, cage free eggs.... I give a shit about our world, i'm not perfect, but i give a shit. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

what are drivvling about now. i think it is ok to have a large vehicle to haul large loads, but 80%of the lage vehicles out there have 1 person in them. why do you think there are car pool lanes? just for shits and giggles? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

fortunately I would never consider doing that. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

you may be right and the rush mc's out there may also be correct in saying that we do not have a signifacant influence on the global temperature. but one thing is for certain, we are decemating the stability of the earths ecosystems at a rate so high that it will take centuries to recover fully if we were to dissapear today. we are all dependant on having a healthy environment, we can do things to reduce our impact but it will only work if we all are in it together. it seems that is impossible unfortunately. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

you and your mate lawrocket need to learn to read, i never said it was bad to stack 7 people into a a large vehicle, I even stated that is all good. what it not O.k. is one person driving a behemouth truck to haul his lard ass to work when he could be using a 1/3 of the energy to do the same thing. I would not take a twin otter up with only me onboard, and no dz owner in his right mind would do either. Moderation is a concept you don't seem to undrstand. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

no they didn't they used assumtion. we know the answer to human influenced climate change, we need to stop burning excessive fossil fuels, we need to pollute less, we need to develop more efficient recycling systems, we need to reduce refuse. are we doing it? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix

there are these things called morals! There are 6 billion people on this planet, if we all used as much crap as you do, we would already be dead! It is called moderation, a concept you may not be able to fathom. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix
