  1. For most people yeah. But if you work enough at it, proximity tracking or tracking short starts is a-fucking-mazing. It's just a different feeling, always fast and much more of a knife edge than flying a wingsuit. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  2. You just called him nd many others "terrified". What fucking level do you expect the conversation to take place at? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  3. You mean, back in the day that Kennedy felt it neccessary to ask? Which probably means that, y'know, people weren't doing it? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  4. Not as much pride anymore. And it was when that people didn't try and skip jury duty? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  5. Yes. The NPS would be extremely interested in such a boogie Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  6. No. But it is OK for Hillary to follow the law, do her job and defend someone she suspected but did not know was guilty. And it is not OK for a prosecutor to break the law (and by extension fail to do his job) and apply racial segregation to jury selection. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  7. Honestly it looks like a problem with the dive plan. Why are you trying for a grip before you've established that you can fly together? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  8. That's the wierd thing about jury selection though isn't it? A candidate who wants on or off a jury can say anything they want about how they think and there's not a damn think you can do to show otherwise. What are they and what groups do they belong to is pretty much the only information you can have any confidence in. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  9. So what were they? So you think those were all polite statements, do you? Hey look, I could predict your reaction Yeah, so? I already told you, it's raining so I have all the time in the world. Tomorrow it'll be sunny again so I'll be spending my time in the air. Will you? Your claim was that you didn't have time to reply to off topic posts at all. Yet here you still are, spending your valuable time counting words on the internet Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  10. A) No they weren't. B) Regardless, you said you were being polite and emotionless, now you admit that you've been constantly insuting? And you agree that you have a dangerous attitude and woeful gear knowledge. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  11. Because I'm assuming you're not being wrong on purpose. Like these? "...arrogant or completely obtuse ... Mr American Boy ... I don't really care about your emotional issues ... you appear stupid ... you and he seem to be equally dense ... You're incompetent ... I don't have time to spoonfeed you ... take your offensive/sarcastic attitude and superiority complex elsewhere ... people who have too much ego..." I see what you mean. Loads of insults flying around in those posts Read the post. * Disclaimer: Not a fact Sorry, I didn't realise you invented fish in a barrel. Any other common phrases belonging to you I should avoid? Maybe I should just start accusing everyone who dsagrees with me of being 'emotional' - is that original enough? Interesting thought! Undoubtedly, you will react to the following with denial You seem like a terrible skydiver with minimal gear knowledge and an extremely bad attitude towards constructive criticism. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  12. Nothing for nothing, but if you continue this argument you may want to change your sig line Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  13. Because you said this? "Post #19 does not contain "all relevant discussion". " When I said "I never said it did", this does not mean I think it doesn't; I just didn't state it. Uhh, ok. But when you said "I do not know why you think I think it does." I replied by showing you where you said you thin it does. I'm at a loss as to how you don't see the direct connection? Insults? What insults? I've seen you call other people a few different things but I think I've been very fair... Posts #53, #56, and certainly #72. Plus others more veiled. And what were they? nope. You basically said you weren't 'lucky' enough to have someone spontaneously volunteer information to you. Guess what, the world doesn't usually work that way. I challenge you to find one other person who has posted in this thread that agrees with that sentence! It's raining here today, so I have absolutely nothing else I need to do, and have all the time in the world to be verbose. You, as you say, have no time to respond to off-topic posts but are still here and still biting. So.... Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  14. Sounds good, but literally it's not in the slightest bit true, is it? Everyone knows that music exists and people dance to it. Even if you're deaf the existence of music is a provable thing. It's a physical phenomenon. Like, if you saw someone dancing in the street on his own would you assume he was crazy or guess that he just had an Ipod going? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  15. Because you said this? "Post #19 does not contain "all relevant discussion". " Insults? What insults? I've seen you call other people a few different things but I think I've been very fair... A single sentence... on the second page of actual content. But you also suggested in post #14 that there was no-one in your skydiving circle that was aware of the Vigil X-Ray card. Unless the only people you know are noobs as ignorant as you are I guarantee that is not the case. People knew, you just didn't bother asking. And it may be only a minor oversight in terms of safety (although who knows what else you overlooked) but when you thought it was all someone else's fault it was an important enough oversight to have you asking about complaining to tourist boards and government agencies etc. Just what I was thinking Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  16. Well doesn't that make me look stupid! Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  17. Post #58 says nothing about the content of post #19. I do not know why you think it does. Nope. I don't need anyone else to tell me how awesome it is to be sitting here in the mountains doing a fuck ton of jumps You bought time in the air into the discussion though so you must have thought it was relevant. After all, you clearly don't have time to be replying to comments that aren't important My apologies. I should have said 'researching your gear badly'. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  18. I'll give you that. You have obviously tried very hard to remain polite at all times. I do not know why you think I think it does? Yep. But since I've made more BASE jumps in the last 2 months than you've made total jumps in 4 years, I still manage to spend quite a bit of time in the skies. What do you spend your time doing, apart from failing to research your gear? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  19. Really? Because you've managed to stretch this thread out to 3 pages when, as you pointed out, pretty much all relevant discussion was handled by post #19 Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  20. But if one question from me allows you to judge how I approach everything why does a whole thread from you not allow me to judge how you approach everything? I guess you're just that more more insightful than everyone ese on here. Especially those of us who found it worthwhile to find out about our AAD documentation before we flew and not after, apparently You can say that again! And yet you couldn't work out why I highlighted the irony of asking French people to speak english because english is 'the french tongue' Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  21. As this thread clearly demonstrates! Do you have any discernable sense of humour, or are you genuinely unaware of what 'lingua franca' literally means? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  22. And whose fault is that? French people should speak english because it's the lingua franca? Hehehehehe Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  23. She did not know by his own admission that he did it. In fact, he passed a polygraph saying he didn't do it. It absolutely sounds like she didn't believe him, but there is no evidence whatsoever that she knew he did it or that he told her he did it. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  24. Based on what Quade is saying that's right... but Quade is wrong The House did not impeach Nixon. The House Judiciary Committee ratified Impeachment Articles to be considered by the House but the House never got to look at them, let alone the Senate trial. Quade is essentially arguing that a Grand Jury indictment is the same thing as a conviction. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  25. So, if a Grand Jury votes to indict you that means you've been convicted of a crime, does it? That is, in fact, not how it works. Nixon was subject to impeachment hearing by the Judiciary Committee, whose job it is to decide if the full House should should vote on whether he shoud be impeached. He was NOT IMPEACHED. If you don't believe me, here is the third sentence of the Wikipedia article on Nixon's impeachment proceedings: "The impeachment resolutions were never considered by the full House...." The only thing stopping him from being forcibly removed from office is that he resigned before being impeached by the House, which had to happen before the formality of the senate blah blah blah. No-one disputes that he would have been ejected from the Presidency. But the FACT remains that he was not impeached. It is the truth. Quade, you are factually wrong. It is not a matter of opinion. Stop being so petulant about it. Stop digging. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
