How to make a barrel roll with canopy?
yoink replied to Sabrekakkonen's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
What did the canopy coach say about you doing barrel rolls?? I'm guessing it went something along the lines of 'you have to make a very aggressive maneuver on rear risers, and that's really dangerous. Not a good idea.' Fortunately the internet is full of people who aren't the canopy coach, eh? -
Out of interest. In a hypothetical world if the constitution was legally changed, and a law enacted requiring people to give up all guns by a certain date, would you follow it? If someone actually came to forcibly and legally collect your guns what would you do? Why do you assume I own any guns? Just a guess based on how you've framed your anti-gun restriction arguments in the past. It might well be wrong. Do you?

All I see from you, is someone who believes all the info you get from Democrat supporting, big government beholding news sites. The term sheepole fits you well You can't even be bothered to get the spelling of an insult right. Why don't you go post somewhere where you're not universally ridiculed? I'm sure WillfullyIgnorant.com has a forum.

You've just given Ron a heart attack.

To confirm - you don't think allegations of collusion with a foreign power in relation to election tampering should be investigated? That is what you just said. I call BULLSHIT. The charge is bogus and still today there is no crime for collusion in that Arena. Call bullshit and whatever you want to call it's not going to do any good The charge MIGHT be bogus. We don’t know... But that isn’t what you said; ‘it should never have started’. Your words. So your position must be that any allegation of corruption shouldn’t be investigated to see if its true or false.

You left it extremely vague. Canada seems mostly in line with most of the rest of the developed world so for me it's not 'more than I'd think'. What number do you think 'many' people think it would be? And what do you mean by 'many'? No offense, but what would that accomplish? I'll pass. But I think the article is interesting. Give it a read. Accomplish? Nothing at all. Like every post in here... You made a statement of fact: that the gun crime rate in Canada ‘is more than many people think’. I’m simply asking you to back that statement up... this is a discussion forum, after all. As I stated, when you look at the numbers Canada seems comparable with other western countries except the US, so your statement that it’s higher than many expect leads to theee possible conclusions; either many people have unrealistic expectations, or many people don’t know the actual numbers, or it’s simply not ‘many people’... where are you drawing that data from to make that statement? I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask. If you said ‘more than I’d have expected’ then we’d be having a different conversation.

Which has no relation to his future testimony. Being a licensed lawyer doesn’t change what he saw or did.

It's a LOT lower. Last year there were 8,313 gun related murders in the US. There were 172 in Canada.

So this revelation, if true, would directly implicate Trump himself in an effort to conspire with a foreign power to tip the election to him, and a subsequent effort to cover that up. We already know that Trump helped dictate a statement lying to America about the real purpose of the meeting, and, if Cohen is right, the coverup would also include falsely denying not just knowledge of the meeting, but also his approval of it. The moment is gone. Nobody cares. Certainly not any Republicans.

You should probably be Emperor.

Would you be OK with a foreign power attempting to alter the outcome of a US election? Hypothetically. In the future. Pretend Hillary got made POTUS 2 elections from now, and the US intelligence services all agreed that it was likely that a hostile foreign government had interfered in the election. Be honest - what would your reaction here be? Because I know what you wouldn't be saying. You wouldn't be going 'well, we do it to others, so you know, we should just ignore it this time I guess'. You're moving the goalposts. The issue is for some reason now it's a big deal. Everything that happened that you're pissed off about happened under Obama and his administration. Why didn't he stop it? And if you're so upset about countries interfering in other countries affairs why aren't you condemning the US for doing the same? Feigned outrage is a joke. The left's issue regarding this is a joke. Somehow they want to create the false narrative that the only reason Trump won was because of Russia. Nope not the case. Trump won because Hillary was a piss poor fucking candidate You didn't answer my question, as usual. If it was happening under Obama then my position is the same as now - it shouldn't have been and should have been investigated. What shuold have been done if it were proven? I'm not sure... I'm not talking about collusion here, which has a simple remedy if proven, but rather the murky side of international politics. Is it something you go to war over? Maybe. For you, I'm trying to distance it from current politics by making it abstract. Regardless of WHEN it happens, do you think you'd ever be OK with a foreign power interfering in our elections? Yes or no. It's not a complex question. For once, man up and give a straight answer. Yes - I'd be OK with it because we do it to other people. No - I'm not OK with it.

Oh you're so God damn intelligent and right. We should all be groveling at your feet. Emperor yoink, is that what you want to be called? I'll bet the pencil neck Adam Shifft is your hero right? All I said was that you make posts like a child. And you’ve just done it again... If making you look stupid is all it takes to become emperor then there’ll be a LOT of people claiming the position.

No, you still don't get it. LOL! etc.

No you! And so's your face!!! etc etc. You're a farce. My face? And I am a farce? You're not having a good day are you. I'm having a great day. The face remark is a pretty standard childish comeback that 4 year olds use - I was making the point (too subtly, obviously) that this is how you make all your arguments - because you have nothing else. i don't know if you think you're being clever doing this, but you come across as an child in the conversation of adults. I'll try again with less interpretation required: Your retorts are that of a pre-schooler and consist of nothing more that 'no that's what YOU said!', regardless of the logic or sensibility of its use in the situation. Is that clear enough for you or do I need to limit it to words of less than two syllables in order to get you to understand? Re the farce comment; no, that wasn't a typo as you might think. You are 'an absurd event'.

No. in fact the original Obama image looks like he's getting in Putin's face and standing up for himself, unlike our current CIC - something I'd have thought you'd appreciate.

Yes, it is SOP in today's world. If we attempt to interfere in other countries we have to expect the same back at us. Ron, I could give a fuck less if they tried to influence us or if we tried to influence us but it's our fucking country and our fucking team. When they come at us we nip it in the fucking bud and put the fuckers down for the count. Are you in or are you out because I will not stand here and listen to you make excuses for actions that other countries take against ours. In that case you should probably leave, because there's not much you can do about it on an internet forum... Your team CAN be in the wrong and shouldn't be defended if that's the case. I'm not saying that's what happened here, but what you typed is an example of the partisanship-no-matter-what bullshit politics that is the problem with the country today. It's EXACTLY what Ron and Rush do... OUR TEAM, no matter what. Only they seem to put being on the Conservative team ahead of being on the American team.

I'm surprised that you write off a foreign power meddling in your fundamental rights so easily. Even if it is SOP (which I don't believe) doesn't mean I wouldn't be angry about it - the solution might well be to stop doing it to other countries, but effectively saying 'hey, we do it to others so you can do it to us' is a shitty message for a president to give to a foreign nation. Do you not see how that encourages it to be done again next time? I thought you were all about projecting strength?
-
I have a question, Ron. do you think that Russia tried to interfere in our election process - a simple yes or no answer please. To clarify, I'm not asking about collusion, or about if any interference had any appreciable effect. Simply if you believe they tried to.

Good news You've stated categorically that your political stance is based on opposing communism. Please explain how you think you can rationally hold that belief while still proclaiming the communist state-run media as 'real news'? That's the craziest thing you've said for a while.
