  1. Or hangover relief... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  2. You could bring some Chateau MadJohn with you ... that would cover another night. The Lost Prairie experience is way more than just Lang beer people. Like nudity and debauchery. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  3. I'm not as concerned about the clouds as I am with the done to death music choices in the second video. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  4. FUCK THE RODRIGUEZ BROTHERS!!! Just got off my ass and finally preregistered.
  5. I'll take ya both on, Andy Kaufman style. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  6. The new swoop pond is big, but it's not a river. We should prolly keep canoes off it. Inflatables might be okay though. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  7. Add in a hurt knee from bouncing off the sand and going into a blind man swoop... Great boogie as always. Despite the weather still got 7 beach jumps. Thanks to * the FOGs and the FNGs for the place to crash and the crazy fun times and the terabytes of pictures. * the whole ECSC staff and locals * The Chester crew that proved those on staff actually do remember how to fun jump. * all of those that came. Some from as far as Canada and Germany (some that became Mexicans) * That person or group I didn't mention above.
  8. I think I last saw him at the Orange Boogie two years or so ago. He was dressed as a clown and making naughty balloon animals for people.
  9. Skyride customers? My guess is they are just ignorant and probably think the added fees and bad instructions to their location are the norm in this sport. I'm sure most enjoyed their tandems, but also sure if someone showed them how they were overcharged their happiness with Skyride would diminish.

  10. Please. What are you, 25? 26? Maybe in dog years... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  11. We'll miss ya. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  12. Yes, but you can wear it under your suit. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  13. What is a racist outcome exactly? Are you suggesting the very nature of causality has it in for minorities? i'm informing you that the american criminal justice system is racist against blacks. why do you think that is? Not all, just those that choose to break the law. In a perfect world we'd have equal enforcement of all laws which I believe would lead to far less of them as people would be forced to comply or unite to get the law changed/removed. There wouldn't be the "usually get away with it, hope you don't get caught" apathetic element that is so prevalent today. Ex: If every time anyone sped, they got fined, etc. people wouldn't stand for that and speed limits would be changed/removed. Unless you feel that certain laws were only made to criminalize things the blacks were already doing? Personally, I think it's just an unfortunate case of "triage." What's one of the widespread and largest criminal elements? Drugs. Let's focus on that... "Maybe if we make more laws and have a dedicated group to fight them then when they get caught we have tougher sentences. I know, we'll call it a "war.""

  14. Of course not. It's obvious that only a racist would ask such questions. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/13/naacp-wells-fargo-hsbc-fo_n_174564.html So first the banks get sued for not providing credit to high credit risk people and now they are being sued for trying (and failing) to come up with a way to accomodate those lawsuits? I work in the FC industry. The only color they care about is green. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  15. are you saying that american history is not replete with devious plans to lock up black people (but not this one you say) Are you saying drug crimes were specifically chosen for increased penalites and enforcement because of the race of people committing those type of crimes? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  16. no, it's more racism than anything else. do you honestly believe that blacks are nearly six times more likely to be criminals than whites You can compare the two. Socioeconomic lines and race lines. If there are more of one race than another in a socioeconomic class and the class in question is prone to crime... you could put it that way if you really, really, really wanted to obscure the fact that blatant racism is at play Exactly how do you think it's racist? Where does the racism lie? it's blatantly obvious that blacks are not six times more criminal than whites no matter what their class (are you a marxist) So what is the cause or causes? Police? The judicial system? Lack of legitimate opportunities? Cultural? In wealthier neighborhoods the police are generally seen as protectors, not the enemy. It's no secret that if you get a good lawyer, you can get out of most anything. When you don't have much or anything, you haven't much to lose if incarcerated. For some cultures, saving, planning, and living with your means to allow for a "rainy day" are new concepts. Other cultures used to know it but are now being reminded.

  19. It's not color, it's religion or more specifically religious intolerance. In the cases of US prisoner stats, that's more socioeconomic than anything else. If a rich white Christian group started crashing planes into buildings and using people as bombs, I'd be less inclined to care about their well being too.

  20. No, and I understand the difference between the two. Understand the difference between live agent training and offensive use of CW? Or the difference between training to resist torture as done in the US military and the use of waterboarding as torture for interrogation? Both. Now, I'm confused ... what's the data point? /Marg The information I provided in the post you initially answered...that the military *does* perform waterboarding upon it's own members. Meaning that if they use it as a defensive training tool, they don't consider it to have long term or permanently scarring effects.

  21. something that seems to be missing from the left these days. Without a doubt....... Both sides are pretty intolerant... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  22. That answer was not well articulated. In comparison to Arizona's answer, it was Shakespeare... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
  23. (Infomercial audience member voice) Wow. Miss Ann. That sounds amazing. But with all those wonderful features and events planned that boogie registration has to be extremely expensive. (whispers in my ear) Wow? $30? Why, that's not much more than one fun jump. What an amazingly amazing deal.
  24. I'm up for flocking far out over the ocean!!! Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
