Oh, how new! I do not remember exactly how many times such a "patch" was shown here on this site several months ago.... dudeist skydiver # 3105

Baaaaaaaa, Baaaaaaaa Euro Sheep, have you any wool. I see, you love the idea of Euro sheeps. Dream on. dudeist skydiver # 3105

If you know or have reason to suspect an innocent is behind your aim point then don't shoot. But that was not what you said in your original post. You said "could I expect that little girl to be there? No." So, in your situation you had no reason to believe their was someone behind your point of aim. Based on this statement, you have made the right decision. Don't ever carry one if you don't have the will to use it. It's a lot easier to not get involved and claim that something may have went wrong if you would have done anything. It's not your fault and not your business if the perp wants to kill someone else. Right? I do understand what you want to say. Especially with your very last words. Pls, do not forget, most people over here have no use of carrying any weapon with them. So, just in case it's an emergency situation (or whatever you would like to call it): We are not trained for that. We do not carry weapons with us. We never needed. Just BTW: There was an American movie called "Blue Steel". You remember that, perhaps? It was thrilling, it like it very much. Scary, how that guy is changing his personality once he has a gun in his hands... It's not a question of cowardice. No one should ever dare to attack anyone of my family. I'll be a killer within seconds. Christel dudeist skydiver # 3105

Ok, good luck! & keep everybody informed. You will enjoy it Smile at your JMs and relax... Really, smile

A solo AFF after 2 jumps? How come? dudeist skydiver # 3105

Amen. First time, I see/read/hear someone talking about that frustrating situation for a newbie, who just successfully made AFF, licence jump etc. I've seen several of youngsters standing completely alone, understanding nothing, beer was gone.... I had big luck beeing with friends. Never felt alone. But I know, it's happening, the oldies just grab a beer and leave. Not that kind. dudeist skydiver # 3105

So, due to the risk of a bad outcome, with the risk completely unknown at the time, you would refuse to take any action? Even an action that may result in saving lives? Do you use this logic in everything you do in life? Do you only help people when there is absolutely no chance of a bad outcome? That just amazes me. What if you do nothing, let the perp go, and he kills five 8 year old girls on his way home. But, as you are Ghandi, it might be easy for you to say: I didn't want to take a chance for the greater good, I allowed him to walk away, their blood isn't on my hands, that was someone elses job to do. In few words: For what I learned during months of training to handle my hunting weapons, there was one thing always on top (that refers to animals I intend to shoot, so surely could be applied at human beeing, too, right?): At so many "completely unknown", imponderable circumstances, no one knows what might be next step, what might be within the critical "range/area", I would never ever pull out a hand/gun and shoot. As per what Kennedy explained in his post (don't remember exactly which one): Always watch the area behind your aimed point (my own words now). Must not be "behind", could easely be just beside, mm's could change all in such a situation. If I do not know exactly where to aim to, I do not pull the trigger and keep finger straight. The bullet is like a spoken word: Once it's gone, you can never call it back. But, as I never walk around armed in the streets, what do I know about this? dudeist skydiver # 3105

Your last senctence explains all. dudeist skydiver # 3105

IONA reduced the dose? You seem to be quite aware what's happening around you, even in the US MJ, the ring-tailed Lemur "monkey" Holy Moses, can't help myself, LMAO dudeist skydiver # 3105

One thing: if they were political prisoners, they could be put on display on Mothers Day instead of May Day. What a way to squash any political dissent. Until this moment, I did not see any political discussion involved. All was just about the bodies and the exhibition itself. Perhaps you'd like to start one with your post? dudeist skydiver # 3105

2 yrs ago, that exhibition was here in Cologne. I've been there at midnight opening hour and was extremely fascinated, there was nothing repellent, I did not see any disrespect for human corpses. It was highly interesting and I would go there at any time again. Where would be the big difference if that Prof. is using bodies of Chinese prisoners or donated ones?

No, he is not. Ron, you are talking BS. Normal passengers do not expect to be in such a strange situation. And you (including JohnWaye) are not the ones to judge about this. Passengers including crew were killed. What do you want to say about this, Ron? One single hero (someone like Arnie f.e?) could have save their lifes? These were normals like you and me. In deepest fear. Of course, you would have handled it diffently. You're Arnie's little bro. But still talking BS. dudeist skydiver # 3105

That's the kind of thinking that kept airplane passengers from doing something to save themselves and thousands of others on Sept. 11, 2001. How do you know that the attacker doesn't intend to shoot many others anyway, even if you do nothing? Oh well, at least you'll sleep well at night, sure in your knowledge that you had plenty of excuses not to help. You are a shame to your own country. JohnRich. How the hell was anyone in those planes able to help himself or the others? BS. That's what you talk. Crap. Posts like yours make believe the world around the US it's better to stay out. dudeist skydiver # 3105

So in your mind are there no situations where having and using a gun make things better? There is no general answer on that. OK. I accept you trust in JohnWaynes ability never to fail when shooting. I don't. For what I know, even few mm in aiming make a big difference in hitting the target. If you think, JohnWayne/JohnRich is capable to control his weapons even under biggest stress, I will accept that. But I do not trust in that. Army folks and policemen are forced to train every single day. That is fully OK. But a gun lover, just cleaning and caressing his weapons, is not the same. I would not like to be close to "him", the gun lover. Whoever it might be. You are polite like usual. I enjoy that. But I still have my own opinion on that. The normal citizen is not a JohnWayne, not familiar with an emergency situation, to pull out his gun. I would not like to meet one. Who's more dangerous? dudeist skydiver # 3105

If you miss the noise of bleating sheep, go to Bonfire... "Euro"-sheep is no race. dudeist skydiver # 3105

When does doing nothing become worth the feeling that you will have for the rest of your life, knowing that you could have saved someone's life, and didn't? And how would you feel if while trying to save one person's live, your actions resulted in the deaths of that person, and many others? That's exactly what I forgot to ask, thank you! May I use your post to add some words to JohnWayne, no sorry, to JohnRich? Danke. Thx. @ JohnRich: Just imagine for one second, even you're best shooter in the world: That bad guy is doing an unexpected movement, a sidestep. Behind him, there is a little 8 yrs/o school girl, frozen in fear, unable to move... But, as you are JohnWayne, you pull the trigger, that's for sure. Later it might be easy for you to say: I did my very best to safe a life. I killed another one but, could I expect that little girl to be there? No. I am innocent like a virgin. Walking away. Law would be at your side? I doubt that. Sorry, justinb138, for using your platform.

When does doing nothing become worth the feeling that you will have for the rest of your life, knowing that you could have saved someone's life, and didn't? Heaven, I'm in tears. That's what a hero is made of I see just an unknown person beside me beeing attacked by another stranger....and, Good John Wayne that I am... pull out my revolver, give a precise gunshot. Attacker is dead, I go home and feel well. I saved a life. Bwhahahahah. I believe every single word you said. dudeist skydiver # 3105

My .357 was going out on its own looking for a fight. I was lucky I saw it before it got out the door and killed someone. Some people still think that guns kill people. Mine just lay there and do nothing...Not once have I been able to catch it moving on its own, much less kill someone....But I keep my eye on it just in case it is lulling me into a false sense of security. It was a joke...I am sure your English is much better than my German....I can only call people "Pig-Dogs" and order a few german beers. Ok. Now I understand all. Guns don't kill people, it's the trigger pulling the finger (I think, someone stated that before me). Accepted. But much more I would like to know your German words for a pig dog and a real tasty German beer! How was your S&W telling you to go out and look for a fight? Ron, I think you just wanted to say: It was dark outside, I was drunk.... we were.. (perhaps your S&W and you? ) What's barrel length? Just curious.

It was drunk, and running all by itself towards the door to go out looking for trouble. Who is "it"? Or should I go back to school to learn proper English? Don't understand. Thx. dudeist skydiver # 3105

Danke. Thx

Hey! Stop bad-mouthing our courts! I'm proud to live in a country where we have the finest justice money can buy! I'd love to live there! dudeist skydiver # 3105

Would you pls let me know what DA means (DA analysis?) Or CD? Just don't know as I am an alien. Thx a lot in advance.

We have a "Not Proven" verdict. Mike. Yep. We've got the same. But , there still is something else especially in US trials: The more money you have, the longer you can stand that thing, the longer you're able to pay your pettifogging lawyers, and finally: You will win. Comme d'habitude: A question of money and the longest breath. If MJ is guilty or not: He will leave the court room beeing a free man. Perhaps he will drop few million $$$, who cares? There were others walking away just like that. Money rules. The moment MichaelTHeNose is leaving the court room as a free man, his monkey music, sorry: his CDs will be the absolute runner and on top of the charts. Let it be. dudeist skydiver # 3105

Actually I think it a good one. People are afraid to go out without a weapon...Maybe. Thx for confirmation. Maybe Such a comparison is simply fat BS. If I decide to skydive, I take over a high risk on my own. With my own will. If I go out, leaving my un-armed home, I do not expect to walk into the danger itself. I just leave and enjoy my life. That's it. I just now try to imagine that my kind neighbour from the left, entering his car same time like me in the morning, heading to the office, is armed; OK, perhaps not fully but, it would be sufficient if he carries a nice little S&M under hit jacket. Horror! Cya, Ron. "Shoot" your way through life like John Wayne. I don't mind and don't need to. @ JohnRich: I'm surprised about such a statement. Expected a little more form you. dudeist skydiver # 3105

I cannot begin to imagine what it must be like to skydive in such fear that you daren't jump without a reserve parachute. What a brilliant comparison! I am impressed, JohnRich You only leave your house fully armed, from teeth to tooth? Always expecting the worst? Hometown > Favelas?? Hmm. dudeist skydiver # 3105
