Spread the love! So, what kind of no-good are those evil Americans up to?Rebuilding Iraq a big, slow job Under constant threat of sabotage, up to 200 U.S. companies are hard at work patching a nation together Contractors work under the constant threat of attack by insurgents, who have killed more than 300 Western workers to date. The 41,450 Iraqis employed on reconstruction projects have also become targets, although no one tracks the number killed. Billed as the largest such effort since the Marshall Plan, Iraq's $18.4 billion reconstruction continues in slow steps, taken under armed guard. The insurgency hasn't been able to stop it. The total amount of taxpayers' money committed to those companies in 2004 topped $9.6 billion. In other words, more than half of the $18.4 billion Congress appropriated for reconstruction has already been earmarked for specific projects.Damn those evil Americans for risking their lives to try and make Iraq a better place, with clean water, electricty, schools and hospitals. Damn them all! Oh well.... A better place with clean water etc etc.... LMFAO JohnRich! Bwhahahaha.... That's exactly what the Iraqi were asking for, right? That's why they invited the US to invade them, right? What a BS post dudeist skydiver # 3105

QuoteFirst of all, most of them voted No because they are against Chirac and not against the EU constitution. A bad way to show this opinion - some people would say:A typical french behaviour. The other thing is, with the denial of the new EU constitution, the treaties from Nice will stay active and even most of the oponents of the new constitution say, that this is worse. So, IMO, a bad day for Europe. Quote No. It is not such bad day for Europe. It is time to re-consider what Europe's strategies and goals are. As I am working in political fields, I know from first-hand informations that not every party here is disappointed about France's "NON". And BTW, Merkur, you are fully right: That "NON" was much more addressed to Chirac than to the EU.

From what I saw on a pic in a/m site, it seems to be Empuriabrava, where your AFF will take place. That's absolutely great I made AFF there and always felt in good hands and well cared by instructors. They start with a tandem, which is a perfect idea to give you a first impression on what you are looking for. Like Zep said: Professional staff. Professional ruled DZ with good reputation. Instructors were patient enough to teach even a fool like me how to fall in good condition and to enjoy it

EDIT BY REMSTER: no personal attacks, even ones you think are inteligent and hidden. 1 warning. dudeist skydiver # 3105

What my doc told me, Tinnitus mainly is caused by an overdose of permanent stress or permanently beeing in noisy environment. Your job is not helping you to recover. That's a pity as I know how hard it is for the family to understand what you are suffering. Ride your bike w/o earplugs, accept every noise you hear. When watching TV, try hard to concentrate on TV's noise, on noise when wife, kids, everyone is calling you, telling you something, you will learn to "overhear" the permanent sound in your ear. Listen to the sound of your bike, your freefall, the music in your car when driving to your noisy job. That's all you can do. Beeing helpless myself, I know there is nothing else to do than trying to live with it. For years, the "ringing" in my ear was hell on earth. As per advice of my doc, I started to sing, just for myself, not loud, just enough to feel my own sound, just making my own music deep down in my throat. It helped a lot over the years. I still do it. It seems, the only way to defend that s*** is, to learn how to live with it. Try to see it like that. Minor breakthroughs will come. It's happening that suddenly, the most horrible sound in your ear disappears. You don't know why, one morning you wake up and: it's gone. Do not wait for it to come back. Move on and be happy it's gone. That's the "good" side of that illness. Wish you will find a way to deal with what you suffer: best is, try to inore it!!! It will work one day.

Yep - left ear, since 15 yrs. Learned to live with it, from time to time, sounds are changing, I do not pay attention to it that much any more. It took years and a lot of help of my doctor to learn how to ignore most noise. The only thing I cannot stand is "silence", absolute silence. Drives me crazy. Just to hear the distant sound of cars is helping to fall asleep. There are days w/o any sound in my ear. More and more. Slowly but surely. That's what my doc said years ago: Be patient, it might leave one day. Let's hope for everybody to get rid of it one day. There's still no medicine to help... dudeist skydiver # 3105

P.S. If you hate America so much, what the heck are you doing here in this evil country? Doesn't that make you complicit in America's "crimes" against the Muslim world? You are wrong, JohnRich. From Darius' post I read until today, I was able to learn that he loves his country and is happy to live there. Your post seems to be extremely unkind, inpolite and sounds agressive. But perhaps, it's only me. dudeist skydiver # 3105

Let's say you were on the top floor, would you take your rig to work? Serious question. Serious answer is: I try my best to avoid high buildings, skyscrapers, as I cannot stand it. And the idea to work in a new tower built on Ground Zero would not make it much easier. But to answer your question: If I HAVE to be on top floor, why not with my rig? Yes, I would if I need to work there. This area should remain like it is now, forever being a memorial place. Have been there last autumn. dudeist skydiver # 3105

Would you feel comfortable working in these new towers? Serious question dudeist skydiver # 3105

Hi Jimbo, I do, I do, I do... still enjoy the present ones, as there are quite a lot of freeways where I love to drive up to 240 km/h with my new Golf, never tried more. For me, around 200 km/h are enough to really enjoy the speed. Furthermore, I'd like to refer to Antidot's post, it says all. Who the hell is Andris Pie..pie......what ?? Anyhow, thx a lot for that post. Let's talk again about that matter in 10 yrs. Christel dudeist skydiver # 3105

If I remember well, no license still means beeing a student. And students never jump w/o any AAD. At least in my country. Did I miss something? dudeist skydiver # 3105

I like skydiving. The otter shows up for the summer today.

As today I already was called a smartass, let me follow that tradition: Question is: When DOES life begin? dudeist skydiver # 3105

Biensur. What else could it be in your eyes?? It is such a wonderful country full of history. Did Lucas not explain clearly enough? Perhaps there are better sources to find out? dudeist skydiver # 3105

Hey, he was guessing, he put a -smiley and yes, he was replying to someone else's post..... how many indications are needed to read his post the way it was meant? dudeist skydiver # 3105

If I was King of America, I would cut off ALL foreign aid. Period. Then I'd sit back and watch the world go to hell and squeal for America to come back. LMAO - King of America with a red crown - LMFAO Heaven help dudeist skydiver # 3105

I have nothing against people who were unfortunate enough to be born into this faith personally. But I hope for the good of this planet that this religion slowly slips away into the history books, as I don't believe anything good has ever come from it specifically. Your post is a serious affront. On religious beliefs. The pic of an American you paint here: dude, that's weird somehow. BTW: You really do understand your sig line? I doubt that you understand one single word of that poem. It's a shame. dudeist skydiver # 3105

My words. Don't see any personal attack. Just spoken in general. dudeist skydiver # 3105

I was referring to this thread http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1643402;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread I think it says it all about his attitude. Fortunately his 'personal rules' do not apply to this forum. Yup. Agreed.

You got it worng as usual What's really missing is some pointless final comment such as 'You go colonel!' Vale Ei, che cosa intendi amico mio? spiega ti dudeist skydiver # 3105

You might be right: Since I quit smoking 10 yrs ago, I never again went to Las Vegas dudeist skydiver # 3105

So? Do you have some comment to make on that story? If you thought it important enough to post, I would think that you have something to say about it. Perhaps he should have started with the explaining_all_introduction: "In the news" like others do many times? dudeist skydiver # 3105

True, the Iraqi's are probably a little tired of us being there. I don't blame them............. Hahahahaha,... probably a little tired....! LMAO.... That's whitewashing of the century YOU don't blame them, Holy Moses, help! Go ahead. The longer you believe in it, the more it becomes true, right? dudeist skydiver # 3105

Keep drinking...... Drinking helps? On what? Fighting in Iraq? Watching the whole matter with a certain distance? Help me out, pls dudeist skydiver # 3105

Beautiful eyes, a wonderful smile, a voice making me forget the rest of the world. That's it. That's what I love.
