Now if only you can get most people to agree with your definition, it will be true! __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

My philosophy is not to buy any of those large brand computers. They make their money by using the cheapest possible parts and providing a warranty so you won't complain as much when they break. (From what I hear, Gateway is the worst with these tactics) They do provide cheap computers in an aerodynamic case, but your computer will still break causing you hassle. Lots of times they use refurbished parts in their "new" computers. I know Gateway does this, and it wouldn't surprise me if HP did also. Again, after 6 months when your hard drive crashes, no one thinks about that, you just get the warranty to replace it, thank the manufacturer for helping you out, and figure crashes these often are unavoidable. I usually go with local assemblers or buy a barebones system and parts off Ebay. When you buy individual parts (like your local assembler does) the retailers of these parts know that if their part breaks, it reflects badly on them as this is their entire business. __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks.

I realize the price is negligible, which is the reason I thought it was more of a legal device than a moneymaking fee. __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

I realize it may be needed, I know the bills have to be paid, but what makes it different than other DZs i've been to? I'm really not complaining, just wondering. Thought it was odd that I've only seen it in New Jersey. __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

I have been skydiving for a little over a year while at college in the southeast, and have been to many dropzones in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. When I went back home to New Jersey, I jumped at two dropzones up there and noticed they both had something that no other dropzone I had been to had: an annual fee of about $15. (no, it wasn't a boogie fee) Does anyone know why this is only in New Jersey? I am guessing it is some legal thing to make the contract more enforceable in court, as New Jersey is pretty sue-happy. I can't say the facilities were better than non-fee DZs i've been to. I'm not really complaining much about paying $15 a year, just wondering why it is. __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

It does but wingload increases forward speed, which as you know, is how we create lift. So more wingload = more speed, on a bigger wing = more lift. Blue skies Ian In addition, If I Recall Correctly, lift is proportional to the square of the windspeed, and proportional (power of 1) to the area. So theoretically, a canopy going at a speed 2*A will give you four times the lift as a canopy going A. A canopy twice that size going speed A will only give you twice the lift. Physicists, please correct me if I am mistaken. __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

not me, but one of my friends was OLD-VEAL My number last year was 85- UP I GO (kind of skydiving related ) __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

This is a pointless survey. If only things were so easy to divide between "good" and "evil". Is it so hard to believe that an entity could be doing a combination of good and evil? __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

Who are you to say that the value of their relationship is less than that of a heterosexual? I find the issue of value of each relationship to be a non-issue. No one is buying a marriage, and if I feel that my heterosexual marriage is cheapened by a homosexual marriage, that is my own durn fault. How much are the things you have worth? As much as you think they are. __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

Allowing homosexual unions will not stop other people from reproducing. I fail to see how allowing them the same legal status to homosexuals will affect anyone else's life in any way at all. I actually heard on the radio the other day, someone sayging that if homosexual unions became a reality, it would "take away our freedom." Where do they come up with this stuff? Edit: Heres the quote: "I see this as a case where civilization itself is weakened, because the basic family unit must now share limited social resources with those who for the most part won't sustain society (id est, reproduce. Without any replacement units, there can be no civilization. Ergo, it's an indirect attack upon the underpinnings of modern society itself). " They are sharing the same resources that they would be, had the homosexual union not been legally recognized. __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks.

Thanks for the info. One more question I was wondering: Would you agree with the statement I have concluded from your website, that the rigger's functionality kit is only available because these checks are legally required in some countries, and there is no other reason for it? __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks.

Dumb question: Whats the difference between a missile (they don't make) and a rocket (they do make?) rocket: 2# A projectile weapon carrying a warhead that is powered and propelled by rockets. missile: An object or weapon that is fired, thrown, dropped, or otherwise projected at a target; a projectile. __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks.

1. There is a distinct singular American culture - rugged individualism and self-reliance - which made America great. What about teamwork? That will get you further than your John Wayne attitude. 2. The vast majority of the rich in this country did not inherit their wealth; they earned it. They are the country's achievers, producers, and job creators. They did, however, inherit from their parents the money to go to their Ivy League school and start a nice business of their own. Not to say they didn't work, but they did recieve a lot of help. 3. No nation has ever taxed itself into prosperity. the US, after the Great Depression, by FDR. Every prosperous nation does have taxes. 4. Evidence refutes liberalism. Blanket statement, means nothing without this "evidence," yadda yadda. 5. There is no such thing as a New Democrat. Ok.. dont know 6. The Earth's eco-system is not fragile. And humanity's size power to destroy it is not weak or small. 7. Character matters; leadership decends from character. Agreed. 8. The most beautiful thing about a tree is what you do with it after you cut it down. You're a funny guy. 9. Ronald Reagan was the greatest President of the twentieth century. Perhaps, hes up there. 10. The 1980s was not a decade of greed but a decade of prosperity; it was the longest period of peacetime growth in American history. Wasn't there a recession in the late 80s? And, what happened to your previous definition of peace? 11. Abstinence prevents sexually transmitted disease and pregnancy -every time it's tried. True, in the same way that not driving a car prevents all auto accidents, every time. 12. Condoms only work during the school year. What? 13. Poverty is not the root cause of crime. Agreed. Its human nature, lack of self control, and upbringing. 14. There's a simple way to solve the crime problem: obey the law; punish those who do not. Agreed, that should be a very large part of it. Some laws need to be changed, however 15. If you commit a crime, you are guilty. Not everything is so black and white. If I shoot someone breaking into my house, it can be justified. There are exceptions to every rule. 16. Women should not be allowed on juries where the accused is a stud. Another sexist joke I suppose? What about men on juries with hot female defendants? 17. The way to improve our schools is not more money, but the reintroduction of moral and spiritual values, as well as the four "R's": reading, 'riting, 'rithmatic, and Rush. Again, you're a funny guy. 18. I am not arrogant. Perhaps not, I would need more information, and I don't care if you were. 19. My first 35 Undeniable Truths are still undeniably true. I have denied more than half of them. 20. There is a God. You are repeating now. 21. There is something wrong when critics say the problem with America is too much religion. Perhaps, but religion is not beyond reproach. 22. Morality is not defined by individual choice. See previous. 23. The only way liberals win national elections is by pretending they're not liberals. Every side tries to look moderate to win national elections. 24. Feminism was established as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society. Again, sexist dumb joke, and its incorrect. 25. Follow the money. When somebody says, "It's not the money," it's always the money. A-men. Even when they don't say anything, its about the money. 26. Liberals attempt through judicial activism what they cannot win at the ballot box. Works both ways. California recall? Florida? 27. Using federal dollars as a measure, our cities have not been neglected, but poisoned with welfare dependency funds. I'm not sure what you are saying, but welfare definitely needs limits. Good workers get laid off, but there is no excuse for an able bodied person to be on welfare for more than a few months. 28. Progress is not striving for economic justice or fairness, but economic growth. So getting the money justifies the means? Do you condone corporate crime? I would call progress getting both economic justice, fairness, and progress, and that can be done. 29. Liberals measure compassion by how many people are given welfare. Conservatives measure compassion by how many people no longer need it. The less people needing welfare, the better. 30. Compassion is no substitute for justice. Agreed, but they each have their place. 31. The culture war is between the winners and those who think they're losers who want to become winners. The losers think the only way they can become winners is by banding together all the losers and then empowering a leader of the losers to make things right for them. It works both ways The "winners" you speak of band together and have their own lawyers and politicians to keep things right for them. 32. The Los Angeles riots were not caused by the Rodney King verdict. The Los Angeles riots were caused by rioters. True. 33. You could afford your house without your government - if it weren't for your government. I'm not sure what you mean, but I think I agree. 34. Words mean things. uhh... ok. 35. Too many Americans can't laugh at themselves anymore. Agreed! __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

1. The greatest threat to humanity lies in the nuclear arsenal of the USSR. 2. The greatest threat to humanity lies in the USSR. What makes them so much more likely to use nuclear weapons than us? Our record isn't promising. They were looking out for themselves just like we always have. 3. Peace does not mean the elimination of nuclear weapons. Agreed, but we have far more than are ever needed. Having more is an unnecessary danger. 4. Peace does not mean the absence of war. 5. War is not obsolete. Agreed. 6. Ours is a world governed by the aggressive use of force. Agreed, but that doesn't mean its a good thing that it is this way. 7. There is only one way to get rid of nuclear weapons - use them. This must be a joke. Try taking them apart? Using them for nuclear energy? 8. Peace cannot be achieved by developing a "understanding" with the Russian People. Depends on your definition of an understanding. They were looking out for themselves, just as we were. They tried to spread their ideology just as we do. 9. When Americans oppose America, it is not always courageous and sacred; it is sometimes dangerous. It can also be consrtuctive criticism if America is doing something wrong or destructive. And, when you say opposing America, I assume you mean oppose some policy of the government. 10. Communism Kills. Perhaps it has, but such a blanket statement without backup information does not mean anything to anyone. 11. Neither the US, nor anyone else, imposes freedom on the peoples of other nations. Yes, we have. It doesn't necesarily make it a bad thing though 12. Freedom is God given. You can believe that if you like. Nothing wrong with that. 13. In the USSR, peace means the absence of opposition. For one definition of peace, that would be true anywhere. 14. To free peoples, peace means the absence of threats and the presence of justice. Agreed. 15. The Peace Movement in the US, whether by accident or design, is pro-Communist. Ah, if only there were two sides to every arguement. 16. The collective knowledge and wisdom of 'seasoned' citizens is the most valuable, yet untapped, resource our young-people have. Agreed. We should listen to a wide variety of opinions before making up our minds. 17. The greatest football team in the history of civilization is the Pittsburgh Steelers of 1975-1980 Uhhh... ok. 18. There is no such thing as war atrocities. Of course there can be and have been. Would you not consider the Holocaust war atrocities? How about abuse of American POWs in Vietnam? 19. War itself is an atrocity. OK.... compare this with 18. 20. There is a God. Agreed. 21. Abortion is wrong. In most cases, agreed. 22. Morality is not defined and cannot be defined by individual choice. Morality comes from religion or societal pressure, depending on your beliefs. 23. Evolution cannot explain Creation. I'm not sure what your point is. 24. Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society. You have a warped view of feminism, especially in its early forms. I think this is more of a sexist joke than a serious arguement on your part. 25. Love is the only human emotion that cannot be controlled. Ok... 26. The only difference between Mikhail Gorbachev and previous Soviet leaders, is that Gorbachev is alive. Another blanket statement that means nothing without more arguement. Some arguements can not be summed up to one sentence. 27. Soviet Leaders are just left-wing dictators. "Left wing" is so one-dimensional. There is a very big difference between a Democrat and a Communist, no matter how many times Rush et al tell you differently. 28. Abe Lincoln saved this nation. Plenty of debates on both sides of this arguement. 29. The L.A. Raiders will never be the team that they were when they called Oakland their home. Ok.... 30. The US will again go to war. Haha! Agreed. Its alredy happened and will happen again.. 31. To more and more people, a victorious US is a sinful US. 32. This is frightening and ominous. Many victories can be sinful. Another blanket statement that means nothing without more info. 33. There will always be poor people. True. Doesn't make it a good thing. 34. This is not the fault of the rich. Not necessarily, but it can be and sometimes is. 35. You should thank God for making you an American; and instead of feeling guilty about it, help spread our ideas worldwide. You can be proud to be an American and not proud of some things it has done. Not everything America has done you should be prideful of. __________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.
