  1. If we get to the point where such a tag was necessary for this posting, we all die a bit inside. And we'll be doomed to reading at the USA Today level of writing. Oooh a pie graph showing the ammount of sarcasm... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  2. Unless banging the cervix... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  3. What did you suggest to wait for? A massive star to collapse? Yep, you pretty much just got to wait. Because you "Believe" it will happen. http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/ast99/ast99342.htm So - theories are science. I have a theory that God exists. What factual evidence do you have to support this theory. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

  5. How to stifle innovation and create a false sense of security. When a flaw or vulnerability is discovered, just ban the tools to exploit it. Good thing computer operating systems don't take this approach. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  6. well... I'm off to lunch... Is it nooner already? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  7. Yep. Dropped cable over a year ago and only watch stuff online now and still find ways to put things off. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  8. I am hoping that through training you will be able to keep up. Don't forget you have two sessions today. Sigh... I know... I should be ready for session one at lunchtime... I am hungry. But it's not lunchtime yet... I did just clean off the dinner table... just saying... I'm sure he appreciates that as he said those forks sticking into his back did make him scream more, but sorta distracted as well...

  9. And THAT is one of the worst wordings ever to come out of the FAR's. Someone should really be trying to change the term to "student parachutist", because if the FAA EVER really begins to believe that they are "passengers"......... we're fucked. They already do. What other skydiving rating do you need an FAA medical for?* They aren't parachutists as they aren't directly wearing one so what else would you call them other than cargo? Edit: * It'a a BSR not an FAR. http://www.uspa.org/SIM/Read/Section2/tabid/164/Default.aspx#21c Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  10. Quite right, when one steps onto the spiritual playing field through faith, acquiring spiritual truth is much like the scientific method. Spiritual concepts are tested and incorporated into ones reality if they are powerful and effective or they are rejected if proven false. No. Part of good scientific method is impartialness and minimizing bias. Having faith negates this and pretty much nullifies any objectivity.

  11. Anyone around the Ft. Sill/Lawton, OK area heading to Skydive Dallas for the American Revolution Boogie? I may need a ride.
  12. But what if they're not sober enough to say that? I like Madison's tattoo idea. "There was this naked passed out person, then I saw the tattoo..." Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  13. Who all saw the thread title and just assumed DD started it? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

  16. A licensed jumper without ratings can only jump with other licensed jumpers. A licensed private pilot can take anyone for a flight as a passenger, not just other pilots. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

  18. Irregardless... Interesting article... http://www.cnn.com/2010/LIVING/wayoflife/06/03/o.faith.gene/index.html Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  19. young girls are so manipulative, they'll do anything to be with a man with "mature" skills, sooner or later he'll figure out that she is taking advantage of him and leave her for a more mature women that respects him for his mind We really just want to be held Yeah thats exactly what yall want It's basically the gist.

  20. I think some laws are reasonable, and in fact necessary, to environmental protection and/or control of pollution, as long as a fair balance is struck. Time once was when we had no such laws. But not being able to dump gasoline or motor oil or pesticides anywhere you want, pollution control standards in motor vehicles and factories, even local ordinances that ban open burning of trash and yard debris - personally, I think the benefit to society of such laws has outweighed the inconvenience and additional expense. The key is reasonable balance. All of those laws are about disposal of "waste" products, not using laws to limit purchase choices. Even those might not be necessary if industries were created to reuse and possibly resell those by-products.

  21. Ugh. This sort of thing is why I don't agree with the tactics of most environmentalists. Rather than get laws made or try to guilt people into conserving and recycling resources, why not educate them and show them the cost savings or possibly even pass some of that savings on to them to encourage conservation? Perhaps even persuade some companies to put in a policy such as this, but making it a law is just stupid.

  22. Vskydiver lost weight everytime she got pregnant. All the other moms still want to kick her ass. No wonder ya'll had so many. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  23. Your argument would have made more sense if reversed but still is weak as there's no private/commercial equivalent instructor ratings. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  24. Wow, you sound like you have reality all figured out. I would like to see what your life would look like if you excluded all knowledge you have acquired by using faith , but instead based every decision and action you made on personally derived scientifically proven facts only. ... Noone has all of reality all figured out. Anyone that claims such is lying, not very bright, and/or in denial. Doubt is a good thing as it requires humility.

  25. Yet you didn't quote it... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
