  1. Jbag loves "fat chicks" and he is not alone. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I got thick skin long ago... That use to be called big boned.
  2. Actually, that is not the argument that I usually hear. Especially when there are proposed bans on things like assault weapons. Those that do feel that it is not unlimited seem to always think the line should be drawn right behind or below their weapon of choice. Unfortunately much of the justification to ban "assault weapons" are only because the weapon looks scary. There are several hunting specific rifles that are more powerful than an AR-15 but those hunting rifles don't look as scary. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1981 to 1988 is 7 years-Kallend (oops, it's actually 8 years Kallend) The decade of the 80's was from 1980 to 1989. 10 years.

  3. I will give you an example from a real experience. I had a jumper come to the DZ that had not jumped in almost 3 months. She only had an A license but had over 800 jumps in just under 4 years. No need to treat her as a typical A license jumper that has very few jumps. The only reason this was brought to anyone's attention is because the folks in the office (non skydivers) only saw her A license and time between jumps and they assumed she needed a refresher similar to a typical A license jumper with only a handful of jumps. Sometimes just looking at what license a person has does not tell the whole story. There is no requirement to get a higher license once you meet the criteria. This what I meant when I said it should be left to the DZ's discretion. This is possibly why the recurrency part of the SIM is a recommendation, not a requirement (BSR).
  4. The portion of the SIM that spells out recurrency training is not a requirement, as in it is not part of the BSR's. It is just recommendations. Dropzones would be wise to follow them to some extent but there may times when it is better left to the DZ's discretion. I read a fatality report about a licensed skydiver that was inactive for years coming back into the sport and he did not do a recurrency jump. He jumped solo and ended up killing himself on his first jump via "no-pull." Witnesses said the guy was very nervous before the jump, too. I have no idea if it was suicide or brain-lock... but I wouldn't be surprised if it was brain-lock. Point being: I think recurrency should be taken seriously at all DZs. No where did I say recurrency should not be taken seriously. I would like to read that report if you have a link to it. It should be in the fatality database.

  6. _Am Oh yes. The ole "you didn't fill out your profile so you can't be taken seriously and profiles can't be faked so the info must be real" response. Gotta love it.
  7. Are you looking in a mirror again? Yep, thought so.
  8. They don't look cool like the capri pants. For some, this sport is more about fashion and matching colors to look like the "cool kids". And the newb/non swoopers can wear them and look cool like the pro swoopers. If you wear jeans you may just look like another guy at the DZ.
  9. The canopy will be flattened out only if the slider is pulled down past the risers at the point where you are spreading them out. At his level I doubt (but could be wrong) he is pulling the slider down.
  10. So then it isn't a place for many different faiths to worship, as you claim. It's just blue prints.
  11. and that you can't even find a post given its date and time to the nearest minute. I can't solve all your problems for you. Yep, I missed a post date. Big deal. You, on the other hand, made a claim that rushmc posted words where he has claimed that FOX is fair and balanced. You even went so far as to post dates and times. Looking at the three dates you refer to, there is nothing in his post to support your claim that he ever referred to FOX as fair and balanced. Once your claim has be proven false, you redirect, again and again. I guess if you want to prove your claim you could just point out the post (from your list) that verifies it. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1981 to 1988 is 7 years-Kallend (oops, it's actually 8 years Kallend) The decade of the 80's was from 1980 to 1989. 10 years.

  12. What if you join a military and you're ordered to pray to Mecca? That is funny. I believe the words hyperbole or exaggeration fit very well with your response. I would have thought that there are several militaries in the world where Muslim prayer was mandatory. Therefore if Ron was in one of those, it would apparently be his duty as a Christian to perform Muslim worship. Since Ron list the country he lives in as the United States and was addressing the U.S. military, your point and attempted redirection is moot. Thanks for playing. Your objection is incorrect. Ron's biblical quote does not specify the authority as the US gov't and the subject as Ron, it applies to any authority and any person. If Ron wants the point to stand up, the issue of people who are subject to authorites that would order them to deny the biblical god, worship other gods, commit atrocities etc. are relevant considerations that need to be addressed. Okie dokie. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1981 to 1988 is 7 years-Kallend (oops, it's actually 8 years Kallend) The decade of the 80's was from 1980 to 1989. 10 years.

  16. It is also a place of worship for Catholics, Protestant, Episcopal, Hindu, Church of Latter-day Saints Bible study, and a Jewish service and Torah study during their services. It certainly is not a mosque as you tried to imply by your title. It is the Pentagon Chapel. Nice try at deception though. (as far as the Mosque being built in NY, I have no concerns about it and am very indifferent to the project) It is not a church, synagogue, mosque, etc. It is a Pentagon Chapel (the name is outside the door) used for many purposes. Okee dokie. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1981 to 1988 is 7 years-Kallend (oops, it's actually 8 years Kallend) The decade of the 80's was from 1980 to 1989. 10 years.

  17. Just change the name in your sig line from Sangi to JohnnyMarko and it would still work.

  19. You still have not provided any proof that "you heard with my own 2 ears" that he said mission accomplished. You are the one playing word games.

  21. That's what he said. I heard it with my own 2 ears. You are going to have a difficult job proving that you heard it with your own 2 ears. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/05/01/iraq/main551946.shtml http://hubpages.com/hub/President_Bush_and_the_Mission_Accomplished_Speech ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1981 to 1988 is 7 years-Kallend (oops, it's actually 8 years Kallend) The decade of the 80's was from 1980 to 1989. 10 years.

  22. Well? Still can't prove your claim about rushmc? Didn't think so.
