  1. I think he should be given a citizen's award. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

  3. That's funny, I've never seen a sales presentation using actual footage of someone's death. Especially the footage they filmed themselves and would have no way of endorsing this sort of bullshit. Perhaps you can provide some examples of similar tragedy exploited by life insurance companies? How about this one? It was on TV a while back. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faces_of_Death Death scenes for entertainment only. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  4. So because a founder of the csa knew this jumper makes it ok to exploit his death for their bullshit propaganda? Good to see you have a firm grasp on ethics Your comment makes no sense, other than being anti-Christian. Tragic examples are used regularly to make sales presentations e.g., life insurance industry. This film presents life assurance. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  5. One of the founders of the CSA, Phil Evans, knew this jumper. The incident occurred in the late 80's. We discussed the eternal aspects much the same as the trailer portrayed. It looks like they have produced a worthwhile film. Kudos. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  6. Just out of curiosity, would any of these gentlemen meet your criteria? They are responsible for saving tens of millions of lives so far, millions more every year, and they didn't have to use a gun to do it. Agreed that our cultural worship of "celebrities" is misplaced. Don Not sure of your point. However, the criteria for a PGR escort and or flagline is a request from the family for a deceased veteran or first responder.

  7. Which is why getting high the first time is the mark of a moron. I think it is more of a mark of emotional disturbance and a sense of inadequacy. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  8.

  9. I refer to that tactic as being pulled down a rabbit hole. Once in, the only escape is to quit. I don't waste my time any more. In mental health counseling that behavior is a defense mechanism called intellectualization. It does not always require intelligence, however.

  10. Nope, don't care. Also, I am not pleased that Christie ordered the flag lowered to half mast. I am a Ride Captain with the Patriot Guard Riders. We honor the heroes of our time. Houston does not even come close. As a reminder however, addiction is an equal opportunity disease. Everyone who gets high the first time never thinks they will become an addict.

  11. From a recent VVAtalklist post: "VVA Talklist ------------------ PEOPLE ask Why Carry a Gun? My old grandpa said to me 'Son, there comes a time in every man's life when he stops bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps and usually it's when he becomes too old to take a whoopin.' I don't carry a gun to kill people. I carry a gun to keep from being killed. I don't carry a gun to scare people. I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place. I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid. I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world. I don't carry a gun because I'm evil. I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world. I don't carry a gun because I hate the government. I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government. I don't carry a gun because I'm angry. I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared. I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone. I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon. I don't carry a gun because I'm a cowboy. I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy. I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man. I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love. I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate. I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate. I don't carry a gun because I love it. I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me. Police protection is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves. Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess. Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take an "ass" whoopin'.....author unknown (but obviously brilliant)" The following is a reply from an attorney and VVA member. "Long time ago federal courts established that it is not the purpose of the police to protect citizens. They are there to enforce the laws by investigating criminal acts, detaining suspects of perpetrating criminal acts, arresting those identified as having perpetrated a criminal act and if they happen to apprehend someone perpetrating a criminal act and this results in preventing an innocent person from being harmed, it's just plain luck and not the true purpose for their intervention. Supreme Court denied certiorari so, all those police slogans on the doors of their vehicles that say to protect and defend or to serve and protect are just false advertisement. The case in which that happened was filed as a suit against some municipal police for allegedly failing to protect a citizen who became the victim of a crime. He lost because it was not the police's job to protect nor defend him. But... maybe now a citizen can sue for false advertisement. Kique" Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  12. I agree. Our country's and our future is in grave jeopardy. Prepare for the worst and hope for better. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  13. The difference is when GWB sent the message it was intended to exhibit unification. When BHO sent his it is a statement of racial division. The former was a leader and the latter is an organizer. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  14. I am still confused. Do you mean redneck-motherfuckers for Obama? Personally, I think using the term "redneck-motherfucker" in conjunction with Obama has the potential for limitless entertainment. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  17. It seems to me that concerned mature people in the U.S. want straight news or they want news satire. The pseudo-intellectuals want news pablum. Of course, that is my humble unbiased right wing conservative Christian opinion. It looks to me like 100% of the people being accounted for wanted to be entertained. Claiming foxnews is "straight" doesn't make it so, and the fact that John Stewart was right in the middle of the fox news listings supports this. All I get from your list is people seem to find foxnews more entertaining than msnbc. Blues, Dave ??? The list was in the OP. It is not my list.

  18. Ego, self-centeredness, wussification of America, strong influence from the NFL for values clarification. These are all signs within the realm of eschatology.

  22. They look like lightening bolts to me. But then, I'm not running around looking for excuses to criticize the U.S. military, by looking for nazis under every rock. My point being, the double lightning bolt symbol is not unique to the Nazi's or the USMC. I think the concept is lightning can strike twice in the same spot to make certain the enemy is quite dead. This is conjecture on my part but, I kinda like it. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
