  1. I didn't defned him here if you bothered to actually read the post you would see that. However in your desire to jump on the "bash Bush bandwaggon", you missed that. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
  2. From Bills post: "Personal attacks It is important to realize that a personal attack is any attack (slurs, insults, denigrations, implications about their mothers, etc) or threat against another poster. Any such attack is not permitted here. This is true even if you are absolutely, 100% sure that the poster is stupid, or ignorant, or childish, or an ass. It doesn't matter if you think it is true or not, or even if you can prove they are an ass. You can't post such messages here." http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1155892#1155892 By the definitions...Calling someone a Homophobe is an attack. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
  3. You can't be the best in everything.....Most will never be the best in anything. Thats why so many people stay in smaller ponds...Some think it better to be a big fish in a small pond. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
  4. Yeah it took all of 6 min and the first reply to this post to start with the Bush slams. While I didn't support Bush getting involved, it was the SMALLEST part of this whole thing. And while I am not surprized at the regulars always trying to use everything to slam their side....I wish they could look past their hate and look at the actual topic and discuss it. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
  5. It means we don't agree with it....How hard is that? There is a third option between your "love us or you are a homophobe". That option is, "I don't agree with homosexuality, if it is your thing fine. But don't expect me to support it, encourage it, or vote for it. Don't force me to make a choice, and I will not bother." "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
  6. If there is zero wind it cannot be wind turbulance. You most likely are hitting convection turbulance from heat rising. It will happen anytime you pass over a different surface...Say from Grass to sand, or asphalt. It may also not be dirrectly over the object...It can move with any winds. You may also be flying in the wake turbulance from other canopies. Wake turbulance comes from the canopy and is a by product of lift being generated. It is NOT always above a canopy, or behind it. It also drifts with wind and sinks naturally. I have had a Cessna roll almost 60 degrees when I hit some wake turbulance from a heavy. I was 2 min after (Which is considered a safe time), and ATC cleared me to land. With all this, it could be the canopy is out of trim.

  7. Find new people to listen to. Not true. Turbulence effects everything from a kids balloon to a 747. Bigger heavier things get effected less, but that does not mean a higher WL is safer. In fact a higher WL will mean faster and faster means that when shit does hit the fan it gives you less time to react and it hurts more if you mess up. If its turbulent...don't jump.

    I think it was about 2 hours, but it has been years...Ask a local. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

    Go mountain biking in Sedona.....You will never forget Sedona at sunset. I have a picture in my office from a trip there in 98. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
  11. How many times have we gone through this after a bounce? "How dare you say "X" screwed up??? He was so nice" Nice people screw up. A nice person screwing up does not make them less nice, it just means they screwed up. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
  12. Here we go again....You make a claim, it is proven to be BS. Then you just choose not to listen to it and claim it is just lies. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
  13. Oh, he HAD them, and we had proof he never complied with the UN resolution for disclosure....But please, don't let facts effect your judgement. Iraq had them since they used them....They never complied. Feith memo, Saudi intellegence, British intellegence,American intellegence...All said he did. Now it could have been bad, but it was there. Its easy to have good intel AFTER the fact. But don't let the fact that you are making intel choices a year later make you lose sleep. Hell, I can tell you who won the last superbowl....But the key is knowing who will win the next, the last is easy. Your posts are over emotional, and almost paraniod. "The Jews led us to war!" "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
  14. You have PROOF, or are you just speading lies? Like I said before, if you have PROOF, present it. Otherwise, if you have no proof, consider yourself just like you accuse him of being...Only listening to evidence you want to hear. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
  15. Well, so she was not beat, and she was not ever going to recover. The right call was made. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
  16. As long as you can rationalize your choices...I guess you can contiinue to ignore any intel that does not fit into your ideal....Sound familiar to something you accuse someone else of? "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
  17. Happens in skydiving in a second. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
  18. Didn't even know about it. But no. Hell I don't have a "problem" with BET. But I just want to point out a double standard how its more accepted for blacks to be prejudiced towards whites, and how blacks can get away with things that whites could not dream of doing. It makes a BIG difference that it is in Spanish. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
  19. John...thats not new info is it? "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
  20. Got a pen? "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
  21. OK, 3500 jumps and 12 years...My hearing is the same as it has been since before I started. Never wore earplugs on the plane. I get tested every year due to my job and the VA. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
  22. I would not wear them in freefall. Not for pressure reasons, but for saftey. They make it hard to hear, and hearing may save you from a canopy collision. In the plane would be a good idea, but I'd take them out before I jump. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
  23. Probably not. But I would also have a problem with White TV... And I am sure a lot of people in the black communities would also have a problem. No since they are in a totaly different language. Its not all about culture, some people can't speak English...Which is another seperate topic...If you want to be in the US learn to speak English. But some of my friends speak English, but not nearly as well as Spanish. Yes. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
  24. Because this would not be DZ.com then. Your one of the best at it
  25. dude...do you know what most people think when you say "Saftey Meeting"? "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
