  1. Where's "Other"? For the purposes of this poll, I'll have to choose Bush. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

    Say "OK. You're taking front float, right?", and make another kick-ass jump. More than once I've notied at the end of the day that I'd forgotten to turn on my Cypres, I never really gave it a second thought. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  3. I remember when RAM was $50 a meg! Ouch. FallRate Ha! I remember when that was a GOOD price for RAM! - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  4. Yes we did. However, this conversation is (was) about fighting for, or defending the United States and her allies, and whether or not there were/are terrorists in Iraq. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  5. Exactly! Now let's all hold hands and sing a song... - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  6. Come on, John. Kim Jong isn't dangerous and tyrannical, he's simply misunderstood. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  7. Bummer. At my currently employer, the HR folks come into the bosses office. Saves a walk downstairs, I suppose. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  8. What is in dispute, or what was in disupute. I don't think that anyone would disagree that Al Queda is not currently in Iraq. I also don't think that anyone would disagree that even before the war that Iraq did indeed sponsor terrorism. Maybe not directly against the United States, but certainly against her allies. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  9. Sheesh. What John posted is simply a fact, nothing more. It doesn't even require a response. Would you like him to come over to your house at supper time and cut your meat, too? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  10. That depends, did he know the likely side effects of quitting his medication? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  11. To get that money for college and/or paycheck, they ALL agreed to fight for, and defend, the United States of America. The benefits aren't free, I can't imagine that any of them didn't know that. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  12. Not at all. What I'm saying is that I would prefer that the people who signed up to fight this battle fight this battle somewhere besides here, and keep it somewhere besides here. The soldiers signed up for this kind of thing, civilians didn't. We owe them a lot, really. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  13. The U.S. soldiers signed up for this kind of thing, people strolling through a mall in Cleveland didn't. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

    I know one person who is alive today because of an RSL and low altitude chop. He, for whatever reason, managed to dislodge the cutaway handle during a student jump and at some point during the canopy flight the main canopy just went away. This person was LOW when the main dislodged. Had there not been an RSL on this rig this person would have died, no doubt in mind in about that. Getting rid of an RSL after you've got an open canopy makes no sense to me at all. It's under canopy where the RSL does the most good, provides the greatest advantage. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

  18. "5 minutes from the dropzone" isn't anywhere near the Jersey Shore, BA. And.. Don't feel bad, sooner or later everyone sees the light. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

  20. What's stupid, that the law exists, that there's talk of enforcing it, or that there's talk of enforcing it against Kerry? Personally, I don't have any problem with the law. In fact, I rather like it. We've paid these people to represent us, let's penalize them for not representing us. Now, the idea that we should enforce it against just one man, well, that's kind of silly. Let's enforce it against everyone in Congress. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends.

  21. The Infinity cutaway and reserve (pillow) handles are pretty damn nice too. After living with the floppy, no stuffing, no feel Sunpath handles for three years, the big, builky, easy to find, easy to grab handles on the Infinity were a _VERY_ welcome change. I was pretty bummed as I watched my reserve handle float away in Puerto Rico. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

  23. Call the guy and tell him you'll take it. If you don't like it, you can move in a year. Trust me, years go by quickly. How much time do you plan on spending in your apartment? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  24. Me! No, wait, that was a few years ago. Sorry. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  25. Saddam wasn't a religious zealot, FINALLY something we agree on! He did however sponsor terrorism, against his own people as well as against people of other nations. One of those nations is a US ally. He was a legitimate target in the War on Terror. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
