Wendy the targeting of civilians is wrong. Just because a group cannot shove thier values down our throats doesn't give them the right to attack us. We have a right to defend ourselves when we are attacked. never pull low......unless you are

Sure we do, and we have through history. We may not target them specifically much these days, but when we kill them and call it "collateral damage" or some other euphemism, we have still murdered them. Which is exactly what I said. Somehow tht part was deleted from my quote. never pull low......unless you are

Comparing ideas is not offensive. I have similarities to Hitler, we all do. I also have similarities to Osama Bin Laden. Wendy W. We may be similar in the fact that we are all human beings. The difference is that America does not murder innocent women and children to achieve it's goals. I know that some innocent civilians have lost thier lives in this conflict, but they were not specifically targeted. never pull low......unless you are

Hitler was an evil aggressor. To compare what he was trying to accomplish to Americas motives is offensive. Self defence is a lot different than trying to rule the world. Most Americans hate war. We also hate unprovoked attacks on our soil. The Taliban and Al Queda opened the can of whoop ass, we're just doing the pouring. never pull low......unless you are

But on the subject of Gore, Clinton himself said that Gore would not have been the right man for the job after 9/11. I'll bet Bill thinks that Hillary would be the right man for the job. never pull low......unless you are

As a “world citizen” who via the Internet and his cable TV monitors the media in the US, it does concern me how the citizen of the worlds only super power are either misinformed or oblivious to the complexity of the world around them. It probably starts with the US education system, which does not teach children much if anything about the World outside the US and it continues with Americans in general not travelling outside the US except after they are retired. I've traveled outside of the US (not retired). I was also taught world history and government in high school. never pull low......unless you are

OK. How exactly would you like to test my ability to check my pins myself? My policy of not getting a pin check is based on several factors: 1) I pack for myself and I'm not in the habit of mis-routing my bridle or forgetting to cock my PC. The same can't be said for jumpers or teams that use packers. 2) I can reach back and feel both my main and reserve flaps and pins and ensure they are where they are supposed to be. 3) I am extremely careful with my rig in the aircraft. This means both my movements and others movements that could affect my rig. 4) I have never seen a problem with a rig that couldn't have been prevented by either a) packing the rig themselves, b) doing a gear check prior to and after donning the rig, c) being careful with movements in the aircraft and aware of others movements that may affect their rig. 5) I have seen people give a pin check and make the gear worse (broken seals, incorrectly closed flaps, loosen pins, bend flaps, etc). I don't trust others to correctly check my gear. 5) I jump modern, well maintained gear. If someone wants a pin check, fine. I won't put them down for their decision. I am careful with their gear, noting how they have stowed their flaps and put them back the same way. If I see something, I tell the person what I see, and if they ask me to fix it, I do and tell them exactly what I am doing to fix it. If possible, I don't open their flaps, instead, I peek in through the side. Derek That sums it up pretty good. I'm in total agreement. never pull low......unless you are

I know that Mr. Quade cannot stand the fact that those making the decisions are not politically aligned with his views. It's going to be a long 8 years. never pull low......unless you are

Interesting quote that you chose. Yes, I would be offended by any billboard that advocates killing. never pull low......unless you are

Even though I'm libertarian in my leanings (do what the hell you want to) that number is wrong. I had two close friends in high school die less than a month apart as a direct result of the use of marijuana. Jump Did thier Dealers shot them? Seriously, I have never heard of marijuana killing anyone. never pull low......unless you are

Thank god someone finally sees my point. This is a legitimate statement and I back it 100%. You probably have more money than me. We should get together to split it up more equitably. never pull low......unless you are
