Is TK one of the owners? Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Thanks Bill that was specific and I THINK we were closer than most would think Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

>Given the above how could they possibly come up with the idea that a >company of 29 that DOES provide health care shouldn't get the credit? 60% on people making +500,000 a year and up 50% on 250,000 and up 35% on 150,000 30% on 85,000 25% on 45.000 18% on 25,000 5% on 1.00 to 24,999 No deductions for anything. If your married it's added together. So Bill I'm asking you what YOU what scale would you use?? Please be specific like I was. For years we've all heard about how you don't mind to pay for "x" in taxes. Your GOD for the day (like being a mod here ) keep the progressive tax code - whats YOUR plan?

> As long as there the leaders of one group draw there power from that group > being unhappy (Black vrs White) the leaders of that group will promote the >"struggle" - its how they stay in power No. Ultimately the “group that stay’s in power” is the more productive group. But many of the leader’s of the black community (Jackson comes to mind) remain in power or have power due to fostering the idea that their community is being held back by the “other” community. It’s a LOT easier to sell the idea that you as an individual are being held down unfairly but another class than to point out that as a group we need to do better – think Bill Crosby. Side note and on the edge here. My father raised me this way. “There are white trash and there are “N” word. (Most likely I would be banded if I wrote “that” word”) most white people have had an advantage Negros haven’t had so I really dislike white trash” He was raised in the 50’s. He believed in a helping hand. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

If you have around 40% of the work force that doesnt in effect pay taxes and 11% that makes so much they don't care what they pay in taxes - you vote 51% You could call the conversation the same thing. As long as there the leaders of one group draw there power from that group being unhappy (Black vrs White) the leaders of that group will promote the "struggle" - its how they stay in power Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

LOL......well the truth is all 29 work pretty hard. In small business you can't have a lot of labor fat. I guess my real point is that most labor laws and small buisness size kick in at 50 employees. But this credit stops at 25. Wikipeda has this: "The legal definition of "small" varies by country and by industry. In the United States the Small Business Administration establishes small business size standards on an industry-by-industry basis, but generally specifies a small business as having fewer than 500 employees for manufacturing businesses and less than $7 million in annual receipts for most nonmanufacturing businesses. Given the above how could they possibly come up with the idea that a company of 29 that DOES provide health care shouldn't get the credit? In fact I bet that very few companies of 25 (or 29 for that matter) offer free health care. Could the whole thing have been a good "sound bite"? If they used 500 employees was that to many companies that would have been eligiable for the credit? Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Cool, just reading through 14 pages of really boring tax rules related to the new health care. If you have 25 full time employees or less you can get a tax credit! To bad I have 29. What's the joke....."guess I'll go out in the parking lot and see the first four cars with an Obama sticker on it and fire them" What a bunch of shit that whole thing turned out to be..... PS-all 29 of my employees have full 100% company paid insurance. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

The real trick to being an American on most Forums is to always know that we can do better....to strive to do better....but most importantly not to give a shit what others think about us.....and show them the grace to not give a shit what goes on in there piss ant little country (it's a JOKE about the piss ant part.........get over it) Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

LOL who wants to be these poor loser's? When you can get better and jump with your friends and mange to have fun doing it. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

*** It's pretty clear that wingsuiting is the most difficult discipline, since the USPA *** Actually world record big ways are the hardest. Of all the jumpers in the world only 400 are good enough to make the record. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

I have noticed that in general RW folks seem to be more goal driven in there skydiving. "points" getting it "right" Were the FF seem to be more relaxed just having fun. GENERALLY NEITHER is better, it's just two different ways to enjoy what they do. Tracking......hell there FF don't seem to be any better or worse at it than RW folks. Obviously the people that do a lot of tracking dives should get better and these TEND to come from the FF group. It's all good Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

I have noticed this about FF. When I started 13 yrs ago FF was new and they would jump with ANYBODY because there were few that did it and even fewer that did it well. You NEVER heard the question "How many jumps do you have?" Now they are doing world records..... It's all good but the idea that FF is some super form of skydiving that takes the great leap of talent is just silly....same if you said RW was harder. Also at one time FF was going to be the death of RW but RW is still here and people are having fun with both. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

LOL, damn Bill bands me for a week and it was a troll,,,,,jeez I got to get back on my med's Neat to see that it appears most the posters agree than most cops are trying to do a good job, but that there can be a few bad ones. About three just think all cops are bad.... Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

He is ruining a business. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Did you mean that? Or did you mean "running"? NO NO NO I blew that I meant running and I am sorry for the mistake. I mean that Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

John, wasn't your close call at z-hills? It was a big way event and I am NOT blaming z-hills just wondering Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Z-Hills is a great place to jump. TK isn't known to be an asshole but he isn't a pussy either. He is ruining a business. I don't have to time in grade in this sport to go back to far but at MOST places: 1. You don't see many low pull's without someone getting on to the offender. 2. Flying over the specators seems to get address 3. Landing against the flow of traffic will get you talked to. I'm sure a lot of people died before these items started being seriously addressed. As the larger dz start getting feed up the problems caused by pattern problems it will the correction will come. How many more have to die? Beats me, I'm just trying to avoid the issue! But why z-hills doesn't have a established seperate area for HP Landing is beyond me. (if that is the case) Put it right in front of the packing tent, or as close to the spectators as the HP pilots want. Make everyone else walk back farther....thats ok if you want to cater to a smaller group of skydivers who's actions are more interesting to watch (and I mean that) Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

I swear to god TK I'm not trying to start anything but doesn't that statement in itself MEAN you should? I mean since nobody has an area they are suppose to go to they go wherever they want....which as we all know is closest to the packing tent.... Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

TK, I'm really asking a serious question here not trying to start anything. Does Z-hills have a policy for landing directions and a seperate landing area for HP landings? If they do is it strickly inforced? I'm asking because until the dropzones start enforcing that kind of things (patterns) than it will stay the same. As a group skydivers don't seem to be able to agree on it. The dropzone that prevents these kinds of accidents will slowly become "better" and the larger ones (z-hills, perris, eloy) will slowly "force" the others along.

Hey all, For these of you that requested a DVD of the event, they are in the mail. I believe you will really like the work that Bill Knowles and the other video folks put into it. The DVD turned out to be an add on to the event, so next time you see Bill by him a beer. They are being mailed out as cheap as possible so give it a couple days. If you didn't sign up (addresses) you won't get one but if you'll let me know I'll make a couple extra and give them to you next time we jump together! For these jumping with the group at the Farm on the 29th get ready for some GOOD jumps and good times Fortson Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Alright, planes packed...rig is ready. Man I hope this goes well! I need a good weekend of fun jumping with my friends Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

I think I have been lectured by Andy!! You coming to Americus this weekend? It's just for fun and they only have a PAC750 so unless we can REALLY time it with one of the balloons there won't be any formation loads Hope to see ya there fr Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

LOL Dave did we read the same post form thr OP? "Fuck all you assholes" I guess you could read that as he was ONLY bitching about the bad cops, but I'm not the only one that didn't read it that way. In the end he hates cops, and they all suck. People have a bad attitude with cops, yeah they generally get treated the same way. Cops are perfect, neither is my brother. But in my 50 years most cops I have delt with have been pretty good people. Your mileage may vary depending apon your attitude. (not speaking about YOU) Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little

Cool I'd like to know your sister if your brother was a cop. Kevin Keenan is my hero, a double FUP, he does so much with so little
