Sweet!!! Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

I like being an uncle. My GF has kids but they're all grown up.

With one paragraph you've now got both men and women, gay and straight wanting your body, your wardrobe, and/or your gear. Any corsets? http://thedirtypiratehookers.com/DPH/Calendar.html Chicks Rock and The Farm Halloween too.

Maybe this should be in the womens forum as this could be a La Leche argument, just not sure if it's for or against. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

LMAO. I thought this would be a story about using a bottle of milk but she went straight from the tap. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

I'm liking this new balance: * Say something negative about Obama, and you're a racist. * Say something negative about Bachmann or Palin and you're a sexist. I think PETA should run a dog for president that way any negative comments could just be called specist. (PC run amuck) Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

How big is the landing area? What license/jump #'s are you requiring? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Rightfully so. That one is NOT funny. With students on board, not appropriate. With just tandems and licensed jumpers OTOH... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

"Now if for some reason nothing opens and we're gonna hit the ground, I need you to take a deep breath for me and hold it right before impact, cuz you're my airbag." Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Is this just the government settlement or does this include all the class action lawsuits too? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

There used to be a saying that went something like, you get what you pay for. The boss attempting to get free labor by abusing the "intern" concept is just as shady as the guys you say were only trying to "pad their resumés." Further, in this day and age, why should any worker at any level show any loyalty to any company whether or not they're paid or not? Certainly companies don't return the favor and will cut a long time worker in an instant if the company thinks they can save a couple of dollars in the short term doing so. Companies do surveys of employee satisfaction but generally they are just compared to the results of other companies and if found comparable... A few years back they told us in a meeting that they were changing health plans because it was "out of touch" with what others were offering. When asked to clarify it was far better than what others offered. Doesn't sound like a bad thing and could be used to recuit and retain... You can't expect excellence and only provide mediocrity...

If you feel having race based groups and standards/quotas either need to be eliminated or extended to all, including white people... If you're white... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

All this discussion of the AAD backup device not failing is wrong. The AAD is a tertiary. How to stop a skydive: * Use Main canopy (pilot chute or static line operated) * Use Reserve (Pull reserve handle or by RSL (if equipped) if main already at least partially deployed) * AAD fires cutter which cuts closing loop which should allow reserveto open. For students every AFF Instructor on the jump is yet another to stop their skydive.

Your mom should have hired you a math tutor. Blues, Dave When 10 years really does arrive maybe he'll post his 11 or 12 year thread When the post was first done, I remember thinking WTF the Afganistan war started before 9/11! I had to go and check the dates (Oct 01). Whether it's 10 years or 9, it doesn't refute his argument does it. No one in this thread has been able to do that so far. Actually it does. If his argument is based on a length of time and a goal and we're not at that length of time yet, the point is essentially moot. Granted he could try and argue that in the time left we won't meet the goal... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

You see a parallel between the civil rights movement and the war in afghanistan? They're both about human rights and opression... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

The first night at that bar I saw a naked wedding and swapped underwear with a chick. Lang beer, Cheap jello shots. Pokergames. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

That's only an issue one place. The super soakers i mean. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

I was not going to mention that as if one likes the job is not really relavant accept when it comes to the employers ability to take advantage of them, especially in always popular fields. Company A: "Work for us for free. You'll get some experience, maybe be able to network and we may hire you or you may be able to get another job." Company B: "We'll train you and provide the items you need to do the job if you don't already have them. While training you will do (task list). Once fully trained you will work for (x hours/x assignments) at (y rate) until your training/items debt is paid off. Company A is an internship. Company B is more alkin to an apprenticeship, which is the model most DZs offering labor for training/jumps/items exchange which is far more fair to the worker. I do agree that if one does not think it's fair they can not do the internship, but in some fields it may be only way to get into them. This is something someone should factor into their decision on what career they want hopefully before pursuing the required education.

Considering that's not where the company makes it money it's entirely different as they are not providing the intern anything thst they don't provide to their employees they actually pay. Dropzones sell slots on airplanes to customers. Every slot they give to an "intern" in exchange for services is a direct cost to them as that's one less they could sell or use for a tandem/student jump. Most DZs that i have seen that let people work off their training, gear, etc. set an ammount a task or per hour rate that in lieu of direct pay, pays off their "debt." Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

In your hypothetical DZ situation above, does the person have to pay for their slot when jumping with evaluators? Do they pay for the evaluators slots and/or coaching on those jumps? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Barter is totally different. Were the DZO to expect you to pay for that rating and then do students loads for them for free while still having to pay for your slot that'd be more inline with the standard internship.

This is approved behaviour now? I guess once the instructor is done or decides to skip their turn... Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

I wish I coukd find the article but it was all about the Interent being the new free labor source. It mentioned something about if youtube actually had to pay the costs incurred to create the videos uploaded by non professionals how astronomical that cost would be.

WWHLD or WWTJD? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYMnAUGFuG0 Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

isn't that better than exploiting illegals? Amazing how complicit people can be when it comes to saving themselves money isn't it? This was the same mentality that allowed human slavery to exist. That would be one fix. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
