What if that person had just detonated an IED, or was planting one when you found them?Just because they don't have a gun, does not mean they were not doing bad things. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

I have no problem putting weights on a person who needs them. You are very light, and will end up using weights on most RW jumps. I have been an Instructor since like 1994 and a RW coach for a long time. I don't recomend the weights that go inside a Jump Suit for ANYONE. But I have put Weights on a light butt, after I *first* put a big JS on myself. You used weights in the tunnel, and on your 23rd jump with no problems. If it was your first jump *ever* then I might not recomend them, but at your level (And I know something about your level of skill)...I'd wear them. She weighs about 105 pounds for those that don't know her. I can think of one instructor that was not 5 feet below you "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Are you dead? If not then you didn't fail anything. No one will care how many jumps it took you to get off student status. Don't do that again. I am willing to bet you will not. A ton of students lose track of altitude awareness...Its why we have Instructors. But don't make a habit of it. Relax and don't beat yourself up over it....It happens. Do you have any idea how many student jumps I had to do? "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

By defining what I am...And having proof of what I said, I eliminate your claims of what I am. If you wish, I can provide the medical reports that any Medical DR can use to show me to be human. If thats not good enough I am more than willing to allow a Medical Dr. to run another CT scan, or Blood work at your expense. See thats something that Saddam would not allow. Keep fishing Doc. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

So you can't provide proof, you throw a red herring? But as for Proof I am not an ET set on world domination in 2067....I have had several CT scans, at least one Ultrasound, Xrays, dozens of checkups, blood samples, stool samples and DNA samples taken....I tend to think since some of these were taken by the US Government that they would have brought some questions to me by now. Plus I have documented evidence that I was born on this planet, plus 32 years of evidence that I have been here. My Parents have evidence going back 65 years including all of the stuff on them that I mentioned before. No body has any proof I was ever on another planet, much less born there. See if I was in NASA and I had been to say Pluto on a mission. You could claim I was replaced by a Plutosion on a recon mission. But, I just checked my business cards and nowhere on them is any mention of "NASA". I tend to think that your theory of me being a forward party of a large scale invasion 62 years from now (BTW I'd be 94 and not much good as a line soldier then) is about as realistic as your claims that the Bush administration lied.

John...come on, he HAD WMD's and you know it. He used them remember? So he had to have HAD them. The issue is what did he do with them, and we still don't know that to this day. If he had told us what he did with them then there would have been no issue at all. Do you have any proof they were LIES? and not bad intel? "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

I agree that he had no WMD when we invaded. However, he never did comply, and that means he was in violation. Also he *seemed* to have had WMD until we had invaded and found none. If he had complied, we would have not invaded. I agree we should have removed him in 91. However, World Opinion was to leave him alone so we did.....That was a mistake. For me it was all about him having WMD's. He HAD them at one point, and he never complied with the UN Resolution. We had evidence that he had WMD's and he was the kind of guy to use them. A bunch of these are guesses at best. The economy was fucked anyway. 9/11 did quite a number on it, and we were in a recession anyway. More allies and moral high ground....Un, the countries that don't like us didn't change, the countries that did like us didn't either. Popular opinion I bet did not change on bit. All this did was polarize it more. More stability will be known in a few years. Terrosists didn't need more reasons. WTC #1 & 2, USS Cole, Marine Barracks....All these happend before Iraq. How many have happend since? You cannot state that with out Iraq we would have found OBL. Lets not forget how Lybia gave up its WMD programs due to Iraq. He HAD WMD's. We sold/Gave them to him, he had used them. These are FACTS. Also he never complied with the Resolution that made him SHOW what he did with them, and didn't co-operate with inspectors. The only way we now know he had no WMD's was that we can't find them now. The only way to prove he didn't have them since he was not doing his part was to invade. Now I agree with you that if the intel said he didn't have WMD's and we made up some that did and went to war over it I will be one of the first in line to want the responsible folks heads on sticks. But, no one has shown any proof to that claim yet....(well other than just plain BS) And the #1 reason we invaded Iraq....He was not in compliance..If he had been, we would have never been involved.

Your lack of knowledge of government contracts is quite amazing. The best part is that you take some junk from the internet and spout it like you know anything about it. But I can understand your desire to try and slam anything US....As always. I suggest you learn something about the system before you try to claim to understand something about it. The Vice Prez does not grant Government contracts no matter how badly you want that to be true to make him look bad, it is just not true. The Vice Prez had a job before he was Vice-Prez...OMG!!!! How dare he have a job and do well at it!!!!! Its just like how some of you think he is getting "Kick backs"...He is getting paid due to a delayed compensation program.....Quite common with jobs of that caliber. Your lack of knowledge and desire to grab on to anything that at a glance can look bad is amazing. Try looking past the hate and look into the situation rather than just spout crap you pulled off the internet. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Well considering how some want Bush to face charges in a World court for Iraq...Why should the US stick its neck out for a situation that is no threat to it? I mean the UN IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE BODY THAT HANDLES THESE KINDS OF THINGS....But they don't. He never complied...For him to have complied he had to co-operate. He never complied, and the UN did nothing but write letters and make empty threats. Some refuse to admit that it was the right thing to do.

UH, yeah...12 years and they got nothing done, but at least some of them became rich. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

No idea what JK is. But I find it funny that you of all people are making a comment. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Its never stopped you from picking a side before. Your little ramble here was nice, but you do exactly the same thing you accuse others of. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

sure ya can. WE wanted to handle IRAQ...The UN did not. See how easy that is? "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Your little quips do not change the fact that the UN did nothing in both cases. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Yes, MAY be safer. If you use the added protection of a CYPRES to allow you to do dumber skydives....Then it MAY be safer. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

I love how the UN did nothing in both cases "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

You can disagree all you want...The numbers don't lie Killed 100,000 in one night with traditional bombs. And they did not surrender. Lives are lives...Check the Quote above...They assumed 25. MILLINON would fight to the death baised on the Fights on the Marshall Islands....2.5 MILLION. 900,000 right there...Sheesh thats a lot of dead even before you add in American lives. Even THEY knew they needed the bomb as an excuse: The second weapond did: DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE ATOMIC BOMB EXPLOSION Levelled Area...................6.7 million square meters Damaged Houses: Completely Burned ------11,574 Completely Destroyed-----1,326 Badly Damaged------------5,509 Total-------------------18,409 Casualties Killed------73,884 Injured-----74,909 Total------148,793 Hiroshima killed 70,000-80,000 ~228,000 dead. That sucks. A land invasion would have killed more. The intention was to save lives....First ours then as many of theirs that we could. An invasion would have killed more...Estimates run from 500,000 to over a Million. Somehow you think every country does not think this way? NK and Iran want Nukes so they can bargin for stuff...Both know that if they use them (just like if the US used them today) the entire World would turn on them.

They didn't have to...They had the US coat tails to ride on. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Find one post were I said a PRE-EMPTIVE attack with a nuke is a good idea....Go ahead do a search...I'll wait..........................................................Find it? Nope!

According to this: The court also said that long before that vote, state law had set the same limitations on marriages since Oregon became a state. "Today, marriage in Oregon -- an institution once limited to opposite-sex couples only by statute -- now is so limited by the state Constitution as well," the court ruling said. They had no choice but to strike it down...So as someone already pointed out...Since it was illegal they had no choice but to annul them. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

So how does this mean the right wing did this? Unless you know that the Judge, the DA's office, all of the Justice Department,...ect are ALL right wingers... This is just an inflamatory post of pure drivel. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Maybe, unless a law is passed just like this one. But you need to pick a side, you either need to think of the US as a bully that never does anything right, or as a place where different cultures are respected.

225 for a pair of "O's" in CA. It was 1993 and they were neon splater painted. Limited edition of 200. ended up giving them to a buddy of mine a few years later. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Yes. The tactical situation made it the better choice over a long drawn out and costly island invasion. Besides if Germany had had the bomb...They would have used it. Depends. If a Nuke is used by a terrorist, no. If it is used by a Country....Possible. If Lil' Kim used a Nuke as an act of agression against a Nuke Country it could bring about a like retaliation, or a conventional invasion with World support. If I were in charge and a single or a few nukes were used, I would use World support to crush that Country without the use of NBC weapons. However if faced with 100 Nukes getting ready to destroy our ability to react, a counter strike would follow. Who the hell is the UN or the WHO, or.....Get the idea? A good portion of the World would like us to abandon our Capitalistic ways and become socalist also....Just because people want you to do it does not mean it is in your best interest... Kinda like doing drugs...You can do what the "others" do, or be your own man. Not the first time. Countries would try to build nukes with or without the Iraq situation...Countries build power...It's what they do. We built Nukes, and we had very little risk of invasion. Russia built them to keep up. They wer enot going to be invaded either. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Actually its not. About the Author: Some of the reasons he states is: * Men tend to work more physically demanding jobs that pay better. * Men tend to work more and worse shifts. * Men tend to spend more time working prefering money to a home life, while women tend to make choices that are more focused on a family than moving up. * Many women take family are out a few mths to a few years to rasie children. This damages the career path sicne they are not in the work place..My own Mother took a few years off to raise us, and suffered due to being out of the workforce. *Men ask for rasies more. Men will risk his current job to get a raise. There are other reasons. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
