Thats not peace. Thats fear. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

We should as long as EVERYONE gets rid of them. Only for those with the long distance weapons. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

They also said that we all would never have flying cars int he year 2000...And we don't "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

All presedents get riddiculed. How old are you? Seriously...I remember Carter being called a stupid pnut farmer. Reagan was thought to be stupid, old and senile. He also was remarked to be just "Acting" as the President. Bush 41 was called a Coward, and do you remember the whole Broccoli bit? I still remember Dana Carter doing Bush "Not gonna do it" Clinton....Holy shit you are telling me that you don't remember the shit Clinton had? I think you just don't remember. As for why there is more Web traffic about it....I mean hell Gore didn't invent the internet that long ago As the web grows more sites are gonna be around. Most sites are going to be about CURRENT events. And there is that. People like to go after the big dog.

It does not...But 800 jumps and 5 years does not make you an expert on the sport. And people who have been in the sport for 20 years have seen these things tried before....Remember how big "Cutaway" was? People thought a big time motion picture with stars would be the hot ticket.....Yeah, it worked great. But you claim that they just didn't do it right. And here you go insulting people again: This is a smart alec comment: Here you go saying that anyone that does not agree with your vision is wrong and greedy Thats attacking the person, not the argument: sure you are. you are saying that anyone that does not agree with you has "other motives". You can't accept that we are just sick of people trying to make something popular that is not. And more insults: You just keep on trucking. I wish you luck. But you refuse to listen and would rather preach that all that don't agree are: Ignorant, greedy, foolish, and thin skined. We have all been where you are, but you think you know better than all of us. Sheesh "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

No. If you do well we can stop and get Ice Cream later "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

You survived...That means you did fine. Great idea. You have to be very careful not to stall the canopy...Try this up high. I tried to say this...But I guess it did not come out well. Sorry I was not clear. If you can't get your finger out you have to make a choice (Depending on your altitude) Try to cut the line, or land it. If you can control it and you think the landing will be "safe"...I would land it. If you don't feel good about the landing *and you are high enough* You could cut the line. For me, if I was high enough, I would cut the line to free myself and maybe cut away. It would depend on what my landing options were. I am at 1.7 on a stiletto.....If I have the altitude I'd rather ride a reserve than to *have* land a HP canopy at a high WL on rear risers only. I use my rears for landing...But if they were my *only* choice I'd cut away if I could. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Swoop cords under gloves. While I have flown camera suits....I am NOT experienced at it. You best advice is to talk to guys like Tony Hathaway/Quade/ ect. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Please provide numbers not hearsay. Would you rather be shot, or stabbed? "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Knifes have a limited range. Lunitics may be great shots. You think it's easier to run froma gun with a kife than a guy with a gun? "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Sorry Im so confused "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Happy and I both a friend dead due to that. Ask expereinced camera flires what they do. I think most put them outside of the gloves. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Would you rather face a guy with a stick or a gun? "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Could you just once answer the question? Would you rather face a crazed man that wanted to kill you if he had: A. A nice sharp pointed stick. B. A Glock .40 Well logic says that the more guns there are the easier they are to get. The easier they are to get the bigger chance that they will be used by a bad guy. See if they didn't exist, then no one could use one....If everyone carried one there would be more gun fights. Do you deny the basic facts? And unless you answer the question, don't bother to respond. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

8 and 12 years ago I would have agreed. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

If you were in a rage and wanted to kill me I would rather you not have access to a firearm. I would MUCH rather face you if you were not armed at all, or armed with the least easy to use weapon. Would you rather face a madman if he was holding a nice pointy stick, or a Glock .40? I'd rather face the guy with the stick. In training we used to use markers to simulate a knife....We almost always got stabbed before we could disarm the guy...but a good number of those cuts were not life threatning. With a gun it was not the same. And I'd bet that the same number are not stabbed. Also a stab wound is normaly less lethal than a gun shot wound. And if a gun is available he will use it...I'd rather he have the LEAST damaging weapon when he decides to attack me. So if you gave me the choice of facing a lunitic with a knife or a Gun...I'd rather face the knife...How about you?

Well, have you seen a single dinosaur since handguns were invented? Theres your proof "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Some one PM'ed this to me...So I am posting it for them This is for "A friend" Don't rush if you don't have to...The bucking may have been uncomfortable, but not dangerous. Rushing will just open yourself up to more problems. *that is not to say take all damn day Just don't rush. Smooth, controlled, calm movements Good first step, and it worked. Better first step Don't put yourself into that situation in the first place. Other than that: 1. FLY THE CANOPY AND MAINTAIN ALTITUDE AWARENESS 2. Yank the shit out of it. 3. Try to control the canopy and bring your other hand over, grab the line ABOVE your finger and remove your hand. 4. hook knife it (The line, not your finger) DON"T CUT AWAY you will lose the finger. If you can't do the above, or you get to your hard deck. FLY THE CANOPY. Bring it in with the wings level into the wind and PLF. You *might* even be able to get a little flair, but it will be painful. Try it as soon as you decide to land it to see if you will have any. Oh, did I mention don't rush and put yourself into this situation in the first place? I: 1. Open 2. Check Canopy 3. Clear Airspace/Collision Avoidance 4. Turn to DZ or first turn for the spot 5. Stow slider, remove booties, loosen chest strap. 6. CHECK slack in the brake lines and release brakes.

I agree. But only for Presedental elections or every year? When was the last NH started MLK? 84? "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

I think it should be a National Holliday. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

The Academy of Model Aeronautics has over 80,000 members. These are grown men playing with toy planes...Yes I have some, no you may not touch them, they are mine. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Your Falcon 215 you would be 1.06 round up 1.1 The 190 you would be 1.21 round down 1.2. 1.1 to 1.2 is not a big jump. And if you got the approval of the S&TA then there would be no problem. Practical application this would happen. You would not be allowed to go from a 1.1 to a 1.5 without proving you could handle it. And that is the major issue, not 1.12 to 1.16 "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

The UN and the US Congress watch Fox? "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Nope. I see the President needing to be protected and you slamming everything the US does... Business as usual here. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Did you heard me say they were? Nope. You just like to try an argue. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
