Well then....they do it, so why shouldn't we? Does it make it right when a belly flier snubs a freeflier? Should all the freefliers snub back? Where and when does it stop? Like I said, I'll be the better person. Are you surprised that our foreign policy has pissed off a lot of people? You seem like a smart guy that has done some traveling - you know how people feel about this country. You know that it has gotten worse over the last four years. If the citizens of this country start treating all foreigners like dicks, it will only worsen the situation. Once this administration realizes that our foreign policy has to have at least an ounce of diplomacy, we might start to have an easier time being a part of the global community again. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

It doesn't work that way. How many of those international jumpers in Florida support this country or our President? I'm thinking there are quite a few that don't. Why don't you go ask all of them to leave and see what the DZO tells you to do. Just because a person or country doesn't believe in what we do doesn't mean they are wrong or shouldn't be allowed here. (re: jin·go·ism n. Extreme nationalism characterized especially by a belligerent foreign policy; chauvinistic patriotism) The whole anti-France (your avatar) thing makes me laugh anytime I hear anyone talk about it. It reminds me of some gradeschool fight. You are going to let a few politicians and their platforms choose if you like an entire race of people?? I sure would hate that if people put me into a category because of GW! That man doesn't represent me, I didn't vote for him (both times), his voice isn't mine, his views are not mine. Is it fair that I am prejudged and hated because of him? Nope. Which is why I won't do it to anyone other group of people. Lead by example - its the right thing to do, and its something America used to do. I'll be the better person and won't use someone else's actions as an excuse to be closeminded. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Summer or Winter I never get to jump during the week. Besides, I work longer hours and volunteer for extra time during the winter to allow more free time in the summer for extended weekends. Plus I get all the whuffo time in so they don't bitch about it later. Besides, I could jump if I wanted to drive to one of the local cesna dzs this weekend. It all works out in the end. While you are waiting out the next 50 or so hurricanes this season, we will be jumping up here

Maybe they should start looking at our economy while they are at it. A lot of what they say could transfer over to us as well. Our country is sharply divided in half on politics and religion. We have immigration issues and American workers have negative feelings about those foreign nationals that are taking their jobs when they come over here....and don't forget about jobs leaving this country....plus a net loss of jobs during the last four years. Our foreign policy is pissing off everyone around the world which is slowly leaving us stranded, making it harder to travel safe here or offshore. It will also lead to less countries purchasing our goods. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

That's all fine and dandy for someone who is normal size, but wth do I go to find these so-called "shorter people"? Grade school? Still it has to be 1st, 2nd or 3rd grade at most, and chances are, even at those ages, their shoe size is still larger than mine. 9 inch heels?? I hear the kids in pre school are pretty short still and you would only need 1-2 inch heels to be taller than them _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

I keep short people around me so I look taller. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

I hate it when it just drops an inch of snow - it's just annoying and screws up traffic, etc. I got home quicker during the storm on Friday (60 min trip) than during the dusting we had on Thursday (3 hour trip). I LOVE huge snowstorms and I think they make the winter go by quicker. If its going to snow, might as well be impressive! Besides, a snow with no winter is depressing....no snow means a long, cold, grey winter. Looking at the east coast pictures, we hardly got any snow here in Chicago! I think we saw 15 inches in my area (we saw 9 inches just after new years), and a good portion of that has already melted over yesterday and today...more melting tomorrow. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Stay home, or go to France they need your money we don't. Have you checked our trade deficit? Maybe the consumer confidence level? Have you checked our dollar against the Euro? We need foreign money in this country, and we need them to buy our stuff. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

You forgot cheerleader and average grade marks while in school. I still find it funny watching all the conservatives I know that bitched about Clinton for eight years get so easily upset when the game is turned on them. It's even funnier when you realize they helped make someone a multi millionare (Rush) by supporting that bashing five days a week, three hours at a time. Hold on to your hats, there is still four years of Bush bashing left in about half of this country and a good portion of the world. If you didn't want that, you should have voted for Kerry so you could spend the next four years whinning and crying like the rest of us. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

You may be right - the Eagles did a great job on Sunday, but they changed their gameplan for the championship game...they may not have any more surprises left for the Pats. Will TO be back for the Superbowl? The Pats are the real deal and this squad will go down as one of the greatest teams to have played. It's amazing to think that Brady has done in his four years what most of the greates players have failed to do. I felt sorry for the Steelers, but I didn't think they had it in them to beat the Pats. If they can keep strong in the off season they may be the team to beat next year. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Now you know why we laugh when people in FL complain about the "cold" weather. Good luck getting out of there thou - I got an email from my boss in Boston saying she is pretty certain she won't make her flight home for work on Monday. The good news? Shoveling three times will more than compensate for me not heading to the gym today. It took me an hour just to dig my car out and another 35 min for the walk. It's all good, I am three weeks behind on my Tivo watching. This way if I get bored with gaming I still have options until football begins tomorrow. If I get motivated I may post some pics later. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Get ready for it - it's still here...so far its been snowing for about 15 hours. Guess I wasted my time shoveling last night The storm has passed into OH/PA, what you;re seeing now in WI/IL/IN is all lake effect. Well, damn. I just looked it up. Another 3-6 inches of lake effect snow by 7pm. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

yea ya ya.....somehow I don't think my Neon will handle the foot of snow as well as your truck will but I hear you will get more snow than us! have fun! _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

lol, someone forget to study during Blizzard 101?? Oops...my bad! I have my wine though! well, that might help. just drink all of it and by the time you wake up maybe the snow would have melted. I think that was in the advanced class. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Get ready for it - it's still here...so far its been snowing for about 15 hours. Guess I wasted my time shoveling last night A shovel! I knew I forgot something at the store! Did you get salt?? I knew that I was wasting my time with the shovel, but I wanted to get the crushed layer off the ground in front of my place and from around my car (it will be hard enough to get out to the party tonight since they don't plow the sidestreets until the second or third day). Then I placed a ton of salt around everything to make it easier to clear off everything when it stops tonight. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

$7000 - I had to get four baby teeth pulled and top/bottom braces some years ago. That was close to $5k back then...I figure $2k should be a decent markup in that amount of time. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
