    If they've lost altitude awareness, they've probably already freaked out and maybe frozen up. I think it's better to do something rather than nothing in reference to whether you might startle them under canopy. That's just me...

    "The best offense is a good defense" is the philosophy that's won most of our SEC (the best college football conference in the nation) National Championships.

    I can see your point there. I guess I'm just talking about the initial jumps when many students get tunnel vision, panic takes over, and they forget everything you taught them on the ground.

    I think it's a great idea. Any device to hopefully increase a student’s situational awareness, in my opinion, is a good thing. I watched a girl with a spinning malfunction on her first jump lose altitude awareness and finally cut away at about 3 times treetop level. She's now a paraplegic. Of course, a radio might have helped. That wasn’t as common way back then, however. An audible might have snapped her out of her daze and prompted her to take corrective action. Maybe…

    Why not?

    Made 2 jumps on the Classic, 3 on a GTI, and 1 on a S-3 at the Covention. What a difference the S-3 made. Incredibly responsive. Nylon crack is right.

    Hell yeah!!!

    The primary purpose of the Bible is not to be a science book. Christianity & Science

    Still not working Eric. I'm curious now.

    At least they caught him. Good news! Hope he didn't do too much damage.

    No...but that was the first American soil I touched after being in Afghanistan for 8 months. I love that place!!!

    Dude...that's not going to work. We can't see a file on your C drive just b/c you're connected to the internet. Unless we hack in.

    I really like your quote! "Taking the piss out of the French since before it was fashionable." That is excellent!
  14. pajarito
    I agree.

    Not arguing the validity of the Christian Bible with you on this one. Just giving examples of what you requested.
  16. pajarito
    I agree.

    I agree. This discussion does have to be about belief. Like I said, I can't prove "scientifically" to you that the soul exists. I can only tell you what I believe in my heart of hearts to be true. I believe the Bible to be true and that states that there is a soul and where it comes from. However, I know you don't believe that and that is a whole other discussion that we've been through. Here's what I "believe", though. I "believe" that the soul is immortal and not tied to the flesh (speaking long term). Although, while we're here (short term), it resides in this body. I believe souls are limited to animal life. Plants were created for people, as were animals. My reasons for believing this way are Biblically based, as you know. Again, I know full well that you don't buy it, as you've so emphatically shown in the past, and that's ok too.

    I think it would be unfair to ask Hamm to give up his gold medal. The mistake was not his fault. I also think it would be equally unfair for the South Korean to not be awarded one. He might have won otherwise. I think they should have to share the gold.

    Soul – The immaterial part of a person, life force, spiritual essence, sentience, etc. The soul is really religious in nature and you can’t prove scientifically that a person has one. However, assuming that you do have one (which I believe) and in reference to the question, the soul is separate from one’s DNA structure (i.e. immaterial or not physical). DNA is the blueprint for the body. The soul resides within the body. Building a duplicate of your neighbor’s house does not replicate the family inside. Cloning occurs naturally in twins. However, both twins, although they share the same genetic code, possess individual selves. Some will say that their individuality is completely a consequence of their environment and that may be the case, to a degree, but I believe there's more to it than that. Just my opinion. Not trying to force "beliefs" down anyone's throats.

    Maybe I missed this. I haven't read all of this B.S. But didn't Bush produce the LES's (Leave & Earnings Statements) i.e. pay stubs from that time period in the National Guard? If so, what the hell's the problem. There's no better proof than that. If I'm wrong, I appologize. It's just that the LES is pretty much the primary source of paperwork used to prove just about anything to do with your service in the military.

    Right on!

    I bought a tabasco based liquid that was supposed to help my daughter stop sucking her thumb when she was younger. It didn't work. She just licked it off and kept sucking her thumb. Didn't even phase her

    Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I missed it. Did you edit your original post or did it always say CNN? I was watching ESPN & ESPN 2 for it. Duhhhh!!! Gotta pay closer attention. That A.D.D. is kicking in again.

    What's wrong with a good ole fashioned smack on the ass? Oh yeah...that will get you put in jail and your kids taken away these days.
