  1. Federal income tax is NOT the entire tax burden of anyone. True. We get taxed when we make it, taxed if we invested it, taxed when we spend it, and taxed just for owning certain items that we spent it on. This is why a flat tax on income for general services with federal sales taxes on specific services is the answer. FAA/ATC? Sales tax on flights, GA, etc. You don't fly, you don't pay. Military? Income tax. etc. etc. Won't be too long before you have that Value Added Tax (VAT) to go along with the regular taxes. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  2. Tom Watson 5 under par! Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  3. Better...we need politicians who actually do what they promised during the campaign. Every last one of them at some point promise less government but very few deliver. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  5. Yes...thanks for all of the funny replies. SO far I've managed to avoid landing in the trees, although I did crash through a nice one under a 26'LoPo once Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  6. Any of you care to actually dispute the article? Or are you too busy attacking the poster. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  7. Seems like I might be too late...it's fairly well involved. I'm wondering if a complete pruning would do the trick and letting it re-grow. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  8. 2 distinct classes of folks here being lumped together. If we have people who have enough deductions and exemptions that 'should' be paying some income tax that needs to be addressed. When it comes to Federal Income Tax you shouldn't get back any more than you paid in. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  9. Having a problem with a dogwood. Noticed last fall that there is a black substance caked on alot of the branches. Almost the same as consistency as a wasp nest but much darker. Tree is not looking very healthy right now. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  10. I'm finding it ironic that we are beginning to take issue with the operation of AAD's and how long it takes a reserve to open. Has the skydiving community become device dependent? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  13. It's an ugly video...war is an ugly thing. Were mistakes made? Probably. Happens more than you'd think. However, some on here just look for anything they can find to make us out in a bad light. Congratulations, you found another one. And because of this video our secret is out. It's true. We are the worst humans on earth and we should be irradicated. We have no redeeming social value.

  14. And here I was reading the thread title thinking "this person has an excellent mindset about turning 50". Hell, Twardo's done it 2 times already. Congrats on 50 BTW. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  15. Very interesting thread. My first mal back in the day was a floater followed by no cutaway and reserve deployment on a Racer. PC sat in my burble for about 2-3 seconds...long enough to get my attention. Unless someone's changed the basic design of a spring loaded PC that'll always be a possibility.

  16. Easy now...I resemble that remark. I've been down there a few times and for me the bottom line is that I fucked up and now I get to ride the lightning. I know that's not gonna be a very popular sentiment. You went low...you're gonna dump low. It's only common sense otherwise you risk dumping into someone. Don't want to do that? Don't go low. Get a bigger jumpsuit, jump with bigger people, be in the base...whatever. 'Course us oldtimers don't get sceered at 2 grand Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  17. I have a better idea...let's make it ten times what it is now....that should really stabilize things. And we'll tax the shit out of the super rich to pay for it. BTW...you need to move to Venezuela Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  18. This whole thread is a mere microcosm of the bigger problem we face here in Amerika. You're not allowed to think, say, or feel those things anymore. You're not allowed to run your business the way you see fit. We're so full of "not allowed" anymore...it's fucking bullshit. You think you live in a free country...that ship sailed ages ago.

  19. Nice redirect there perfessor. Question still stands tho...Just interested in knowing if you are as impressed as Lucky is with the economic recovery to date. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  22. I think you need to do some fact checking. Your boy has actually distributed more TARP funds than GWB, and I dislike TARP as much as I dislike the stimulus and the HC bill. BO has had a lot more time to spend TARP funds than GWB had. Do you have a point? My point goes towards my reference to 'billions of dollars' that have been spent. On top of the stimulus we have TARP money. Are you impressed that the economy is rebounding? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  23. I think you need to do some fact checking. Your boy has actually distributed more TARP funds than GWB, and I dislike TARP as much as I dislike the stimulus and the HC bill. Not my hero..and you need to take a look at where the stimulus dollars have been spent so far. Hell, you sound like you're getting a tingle in your leg Lucky. When will you begin to understand that the business of running a government is not a poularity contest? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  24. I always chuckle a bit...right before I throw up in my mouth a little, when people give this administration glowing reviews on it's handling of the economy they inherited. I would certainly fucking hope that the injection of hundereds of billions of dollars of our tax money, billed to the never ending line of credit we have, might have some positive affect. 123,000 jobs...so what are we talking? Anybody do the math on how much we spent per job? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

    For me it was base voyeurism. I was disgusted and intrigued all at the same time. I can remember when I thought Heidi Fliess was a pretty good looking woman. Always knew Rodman was a freak but I was surprised that Tom Sizemore had fallen so far. It became obvious pretty early on that these folks spent the better part of their lives surrounded by enablers.
