Maybe I'm reading this wrong but are you advocating that the government or some other entity should say what can and can not be served at restaurants? If this is the case, where do you draw the line of what people can and can not do or eat because someone decides it's not good for the public and their health? Slippery slope.

I would only fight after American Idol was over. I may also sit on my hands a lot because it's cold here and I don't have any gloves.

Not really. Unless the laws have changed recently? http://ernieinamsterdam.com/laws.html

The USPA endorses chuteless jumps? I don't think so.

This explains a lot concerning your viewpoints and your post.

Since this thread is about 5 years old, it was interesting to read everyone's predictions and opinions about the future of real estate. Especially the real estate agent.

A study by the respected Pew Research Center showed that 40 percent of Fox News stories on Obama in the last six weeks of the campaign were negative. Similarly, 40 percent of Fox News' stories on Obama's Republican opponent, Sen. John McCain, were negative. On CNN, by contrast, there was a 22-point disparity in the percentage of negative stories on Obama (39 percent) and McCain (61 percent). The disparity was even greater at MSNBC, according to Pew, where just 14 percent of Obama stories were negative, compared to a whopping 73 percent of McCain stories—a spread of 59 points.

Ya know, if you don't like the drama, you don't have to log on. You could be sitting alone whining about an X.

Internet! Letting people make stupid comment since 1994!

na, sounds like skyride to me. It may sound like Skyride to you but it's not. I know Blake and this is the same web address Skydive San Diego has had forever.

That got me thinking: Once you ask me to give you a pincheck (gearcheck) I'll handle it the way I want. That includes yanking your cheststrap to check the routing. That lesson was driven home early in my HI-training, when my instructor asked me to give a student (who was geared up only for the occasion) a pin check. He had deliberately misrouted the chest strap in a way that *looked* very plausible. Since the student in question was a girl, I inspected her chest strap visually and missed the routing problem. When I OK'd her, the instructor hooked a single finger behind her chest strap and undid it, without saying a word. Had I let her jump like that, I would have killed this student. Of course the situation is slightly different with experienced jumpers - YOU and YOU alone are responsible for your own safety. But. Would anyone be able to sleep very well at night thinking "if only I'd done a full gear check on them, I would have caught that [insert error] and saved their life.."? I'm not sure what you mean by "I will handle it the way I want" but it's probably not a good idea to manhandle someones gear during a check. It is not necessary to yank on a chest strap to know whether it is routed properly. A visual inspection would suffice unless something is blocking it. In that case just move what ever is blocking it (Example-chest altimeter). The student being male or female shouldn't make a difference in visually inspecting the chest strap. You just have to know how to do it without getting a sexual harassment charge. If it "looked" like it was routed properly and you missed it, I would guess that was due to lack of experience or to quick of an inspection. I have caught countless chest straps misrouted over the years with just a visual inspection. Also, if I only ask for a pin check, that's all I expect. I wouldn't expect someone yanking my chest strap ever.

To hear himself speak (write). Also to let everyone know how much more intelligent he thinks he is than anyone here because he has all the answers. (Pssst, just read some of his post and you'll see what I'm talking about.)

Agreed. http://www.house.gov/jec/fiscal/tx-grwth/reagtxct/reagtxct.htm

Speaking of that damn old pesky piece of paper can you show me where it says, healthcare is a right? If the USA won't grant the human rights that the USA agreed to when it signed on to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 (part of the governing documents of the UN to which the USA is joined by treaty ratified 25 Oct 1945), what moral ground does the USA have to criticize other nations like Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Myanmar, Congo... for violating the rights of their citizens? Hmm. I believe the question was referring to the constitution, not the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I guess if we can't answer that question, we'll just switch topics. Wasn't this thread about internet connection.

Sarcasm may be a good learning tool but your post had nothing written to learn from. Where was the lesson? Yep, no skygod attitude there. As you have stated, at 12 jumps everyone should know ever reason to wear a jump suit like you apparently did. Give me a break! I'm sure everything you know you just knew. You never had to ask questions, right? Lighten up Francis.

Thanks for the constructive post. So much to be learned from you. Did anyone read the other thread about skygods? They were looking for a definition of skygod. Found it.

The wind (speed) you feel under the canopy is the same whether you are holding or running. The only thing that changes is your ground speed.

90% of the people that jump at Eloy Az... Although I love that DZ- only because of the planes, and the amount of jumps you can do... People there usually suck ass. [[if you jump there, and this does not apply to you, you're in the 10%... Don't be pissed off, and if you are pissed off its because you know you're a "skygod".... Ditch the attitude]] I'm curious why you think this. I've visited and jumped at Eloy many times and have not seen a skygod attitude with 90% of the people. Quite the opposite. So why are they skygods? (Also, you may want to ditch the attitude)

Actually 5052. Which is why he put in the ~ symbol, which means approximately equal to.

Oh, I can't wait for your "data". So many of your other post have been so enlightening.

No, you were trying to sell them in the other thread. If you were just looking for feedback, you wouldn't have included the price and shipping info.

This is one of the few times in my life that I have read something on line and actually laughed out loud(LOL). I'm not laughing with you, I'm laughing at you.

Because the Nobel committee chose him. Well that explains it. Thank you for your in depth explanation. Indeed it does explain it. If you want more detail the Nobel Commitee already provided it for those who are TRULY interested and don't just want to rant: nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/2009/press.html I wasn't responding to the actual details of why he won, just your all to typical response "because they said so".

You don't seem to be suffering much.
