    You mean the ones that ruled the no health insurance penalty a tax? Yeah, we're screwed. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

    Sounds like both dodged a bullet as they're not compatible and should end their relationship. Ideally the future parents should discuss their options, perhaps seek counseling, but ultimately it's the woman's choice. Why does the government need to be involved in this personal medical decision? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

    I wouldn't care if a politician was clueless about something if they weren't trying to make laws on it. Repubs, can we drop the whole abortion ban/control issue and just let women decide for themselves? Then you can say anything you want about it. If ya want to believe that if a woman prays hard enough afterwards, she can keep from getting pregnant or disease, go for it.

    This. They've gone from targetting individuals to collecting data on everyone to get snippets on certain people. Hell, might as well partner with Facebook and Google and sell the marketing info.

    If that was intentional, that was sheer genius.

    Single parent households is an issue, not which of the two parents has a job/makes more. If this is their big concern, they should be supporting gay marriage as some of the relationships have a 0% chance of a woman being the breadwinner.

    The BS part of this is if white people were committing a large percentage of a crime, the police could use the racial information in their profile descriptions. Most likely the white people questioned once explained the reasoning would have no issues with it either.

    Doesn't that mark the difference between falling asleep and passing out? Falling asleep = shoes off. Passing out = shoes on? A guy with one leg passed out with his shoe on. I proposed the following question, "Does this mean we can only prank half of him?" Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

    I guess I'm a douchebag as I see NIMBY (Not In My BackYard) as an option, particularly for smaller DZs that may not have the people to properly teach advanced canopy flight, but would prefer it phrased as "If they get hurt/die it won't be at my DZ." I've also been a douche and not sold a Stiletto to a guy with low jump numbers even though I was told "If you don't sell it to him, he'll just buy it from someone else." He probably did and I still have the canopy.

    “Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it, you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing bad things, but for good people to do bad things, it takes religion.” - Steven Weinberg Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

    While what someone did is important, why is equally or moreso. Not to excuse it, but to attempt to explain it. There might be some out there that I'd associate with that had committed worse crimes and others that committed lesser crimes I'd steer clear of.

    +1 If in the course of the rape one uses or threatens violence with guns, knives, fists, etc. those are separate crimes. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

    If I ever had a head injury and decided to run for office, would just create a site with all my past listed out and then challenge anyone to find things not listed.. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

    Thanks HH! Looks great! One question. In the previous template, the My Stuff bar on the right could be disabled under Settings to allow posts to go all the way across the page. Can it still be disabled? Didn't see it under settings now. Did see the new NSFW checkbox and adult content setting. Bonfire users, Especially BillyVance thread posters will need to change their settings.

    Except there already is a fee/tax system in place. Just raise those versus attempting to create new ones. ATC, TSA, and the FAA could very easily become self sustaining. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

    Or pull those services off the general budget and fund those by use fees charged to passengers, and airlines/pilots both private and commercial. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

    If I remember correctly, the USPA did recommend if more taxes were needed to just raise fuel taxes. Creating new taxing divisions from scratch is also not the answer. The tax increases should come from existing tax sources and need to affect all in some way. Those who are not paying and getting assistance should receive less.

    I dunno. I found the psychotic delusions entertaining. Just keep them away from DZs, people, sharp objects... We could always do a parody of it like we used to for some of the better drama. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1682917#1682917 Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

    Suggestion: Convicted rapists can stay in but are kept in jail and only released for suicide missions. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

    It's the double edged sword of trying to keep everything quiet. When things get out it's quickly learned they aren't isolated incidents. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

    You forgot the word extremists. As pompous as the Qataris acted, this assumption the two parties could not have a rational discussion about it is insulting to both. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

    The key word here is extremists. By being offended by it, the Qataris unknowingly sided with them. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

    He was NOT asked to leave...he said so himself, the dropzone said so. THAT didn't happen. It's not as an emotionally fueled story..but it's factual. Does one have to wait until they're asked to leave once it's obvious they're no longer welcome?
