Anthrax has a life span...So you would be hard pressed to make the claim that it was the same batch. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Ya think just maybe the intel pointed in that direction? Or do you have a secret clearance, that let you see the data yourself, you need to tell us about? "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Well the anthrax was of a type used in US labs.....So....Kinda alomst rules out AQ... But then don't fret, I am sure they will attack again, and then you can complain about how Bush handles that also.

I might not be so in favor of the death penalty...

You mean stop making prison a fucking day camp? Not let prisoners lift weights? Hold people accountable for how they act? Actually make prison un-fun? Why did I know you would have a problem with that? Look on the bright side...They will get free health care.

Ah, so you are guessing...an educated guess I will give you, but you talk as if it is fact... From your own sources. Well it ain't over now is it? And you somehow think Kerry has the answers? Gee, thats a long time...You think maybe we need a fix for NOW, and a fix for latter? You see you can't fix later till...well, later.

Silly word play on your part...We have not had another attack from the likes of the same that did the 9/11 attacks. And you know it...But you are to proud to admit that maybe something old George did was right. As soon as you start to admit that we had credible intel that we followed...And as soon as you drop the war ata ll cost BS. I doubt you will drop yours, so I would not hold your breath waiting for us to drop our side. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

And you base this off of????? "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

My answer is not there...So I'll go with my story. I found myself low. Sub 1,000 feet. As I rolled over and reached for my reserve handle....I tossed my main. Instinct....I tossed my main. And at the time I only had 300 jumps. My brain said "Reserve", but my hand threw the main faster than the thought was out of my head. I train pull the reserve if I am low...but I know I will most likley throw the main first. Think about it...I have 3300+ jumps. I have pulled a main 3300+ times. Of those only six times have I pulled a reserve...and that was AFTER a cutaway. So when the shit hits the fan....Will I pull The handle I have pulled 3300+ times? Or the one I have pulled six times?

Hey, pretty good...Can I start posting my papers for school so you guys can edit them for me? It would save me tons of work. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 -
Funny my unit was sent to Haiti in 1999...So much for a success story. I was in a Military school at the time, but my buddies told me that was a hell hole. The UN did a great job there The UN has shown time after time that they are unable and unwilling to do anything about anything. Even when it is right in their face.

While I agree to a point...That is VERY socialistic thinking. And this country was NOT founded as socialistic. I think it is the responsability to help...But I don't think the answer is to force others to do it. And the government rarely steps in and makes things better. I ahve been to covernment hospitals....NOT what you want for everyone. Tort reform is needed...I find it funny that Edwards made his money off of it, but claims he can help fix the problems.

Some would say that it is a fine line between supporting a terrorist, and strapping a bomb on yourself. Either way I see no problem with stopping a person who is known to have aided questionable organizations.

Well the UN SHOULD apply it evenly... Proof again that the UN is crap. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

You say the economy is cyclic...then you say So if it is cyclic...then it will happen anyway. By the way So his plan IS working huh? "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Stainless steel hardware,... is it really necessary?

I use 18's and I am 5'6"...But I am a guy. I can use 21's, but it's not as easy to pull the slider down....So I have to look at it...I'd rather not look and be able to keep my eyes on the people around me.

Try to avoid the situation in the first place. If someone is below you, try to get out of their way...Yes, they should never be below you, but yes it also does happen. If they are below you...Try to stay out of directly above them. If you do get in their burble, get as big as you can....You might catch enough air to avoid them, or atleast hit them slower than if you just ball up. Turn you head sideways so if you do hit them, it will not hit you in the nose or eyes. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

Well the 12 issue IS a snafu. I saw Majics round...The third 12 was iffy, but the first one was not. The rant on Omiskore shows that the judges were exacting revenge. Bad form, and bad judging. Which is what the judges did ont he 12's....They attacked. Bad form. Edit to add. Everyone knows that 12's are a hard block to judge. The rules say INTENT to turn. And that you have to SHOW IT to the judges. With the vidiot now being a member of the team he should be allowed (And good vidiots have been doing this for years) to move to a position that is best to SHOW the INTENT to the judges. Center point busts are a matter of VIDEO ANGLE most times. So why should the video guy not move to a better angle? According to the Omniskore website the judges were pissed at Frances video guy....The rant made it quite clear that the judges felt they were being treated like fools. It also made it quite clear that they penalized the teams for the video guy trying to SHOW the INTENT. The JUDGES need to say what they want to see instead of thsi BS of "Let them do it, and then we will tell them what we want to see". There are three possible final fixes to this problem... 1. Get rid of the damn block. 2. Make both pieces rotate in the same direction. 3. Have the judges say what they want to see. And have that be the SAME at every meet. It has been an issue at the last three World Events.. From the NSL: Even the Frence team admitted that they did the SAME manuver, but didn't get busted while Majic did. That is clear evidence of something wrong with the judging of that block. So the judges knew about it in 2002 but didn't bother to tell anyone till the DAY BEFORE the first event?

Could a homeowner's gun have saved this woman's life?
Ron replied to peacefuljeffrey's topic in Speakers Corner
Don't be silly... Don't you know the aswer to this kind of problem is to make it illegal for the couple to have a gun? I mean if they were not able to have a gun, then the criminal in this case would not be allowed one either? Remember, GUNs are the problem...Not crazy ex boyfriends wanting to kill people.

That was not carried out by member of a religious fanatical group based in the middle east.. You think you would remember that. You also forget he had advisers telling him that Saddam HAD WMD's and we knew he had them. We know he had made NEW ones in 1995...AFTER he was told to stop. You think you would remember that.

There has been some good advice given thus far. The best I saw was this gem: Remember why you are doing this. It is supposed to be fun. If its not fun, don't push it. Relax...Smile....Drill the damn skydive so much including an arch so that you can't NOT do it right.

Well you don't know that do you. The inspectors where not given access to anywhere they wanted to go...It was a cat and mouse game. Besides you seem to glaze over the fact that it was part of the resolution that yout beloved UN wrote that said he HAD TO PROVE he destroyed them...He did no such thing. I would say a good start is the countries that are ignoring your beloved UN's rules. I also have intel that the moon is made of green cheeze. We know he had WMD. We also know he never told us what he did with them according to the UN resolution...That ALONE is reason to invade.

Where to go for AFF: SDU, Deland, Zhills, ETC
Ron replied to Terminal-V's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Geeze sorry. You made some comments and I was responding to YOUR comments...Which is why I responded to YOU. Your comments made it seem like DeLand is the only place with professional instructors. And my comment about the landing area is quite true. DeLand has a large area, but so does Zhills...And DeLand you do ride a truck back... Im sorry you seem to think I am "stalking you". Its not all about you. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 -
We had intel that said he did.....The inspectors didn't work.. so how would you know if there was no invasion? "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
