  1. I dont monitor or post here often, and this topic might have been discussed already. I also don't read, listen or watch too much news anymore...no sense in agrivating myself by listening to someone interepret worldly events in their own way.. BUT...an interesting question that I wondered about.... Why, when the US blames Iraq for links with terrorism and al-qaida, don't they attack Saudi Arabia? There is a lot of proof available that the Saudi's are active with hosting terrorists/al-qaida. (the gov. might be on the US side, but the point stands, they are clear and present). So is the US simply being hypocrytical to keep gas prices down? Help me out on this one, i'm not quite seeing all the reasons. --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  2. Ever heard of CB? Nevertheless, I think that is an awesome idea, give 'em a break from the endless monotony! --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  3. here ya go.... that was me back in the day..... --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  4. I also like the toggles! I'm going to get some like those for my canopy! I dont think he should be jumping a canopy that small...Someone needs to go talk to that guy seriously, before he gets hurt! --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  5. Great, thanks! Now, how come I cannot save that on my PC? --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  6. Hey, thanx Eric, I should make it up either this, or next weekend. Apreciate it! --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  7. Help me find the "I love sky" video.... I searched everywhere and cannot find it, even though it was posted not long ago.... SORRRYYYYY --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  8. So it is not a problem to then register and go do my first BASE jump this BD. The choice between water and the LZ, is purely on what is safer. I don't care about being uncomfortable and cold, if it is that much safer, I would much rather do the water. Going for the LZ would be too risky at this point (IMO). Next Question then.... What canopy would I jump? Who do I need to talk to? I see they do have a few for rent? (I have PMd Jason, he will get back to me). --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  9. AN interesting issue... Most Americans realize we are at war, are mad that people are dying, but how many have actually changed their lives because of it? Think about the old days when war killed THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS...in their hometowns...their houses burnt....food burnt and gone...etc.etc. IT is STILL happening, just not in the U.S. Americans aren't eperiencing it. Its very easy for us to sit here and say..."I know there is a War... I don't want people to die" and not really be realistic. I think it is great that America can fight a war and lose by far the minority of lives... and do so trying (in most cases) to save the innocent lives of the people they are fighting. Bless America for that. But face it, people are going to die in a war (many think we need to have a deathless war...I think this clip put me more in touch with reality...with what is going on miles away from here. Let that clip make you thankful that that was not YOUR street. One last thing... I find it interesting that America went to war to "liberate the Iraqis". (one of the supposed motives) That means we went for their sake. Now...many can tell me how many americans died, and many focus on that... but shouldn't we be equally concerned then about the lives of the Iraqis? Do YOU know how many Iraqi's have died? few do. Thanks for that clip. It made me realize what others are going through so that I can sit at home safely typing on my computer. Bless allt he troops out there defending us...and may they come home soon. --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  10. ok then, that explains it --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  11. so I notice a few animated avatars around..... how do you upload a gif file? It says jpg only doens't it? --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  12. Yeah, I saw it quite a long time ago. Similar to the movie "K2". But I think K2 isn't as realistic. But what would I know...Good movies though --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  13. I definately will watch it again. I thought there was some kind of deep philosphy behind the whole movie, which maybe there is. It'll take a while for me to find it though. --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  14. I might as well ask here and get flamed. Bridge day is the third saturday in october - its june now. If I register, I dont know if I will have enough jumps, but I might. They only require 50 - i'm there. So should I register, and if I end up with 80 jumps by then (I dont know about finances right now), can I still jump and be safe? You all see my question - its basically a question of reality (safety) vs. enthusiasm. It would be dissapointing, but maybe wiser to just wait another year, just spend this year volunteering at the exit point. What do you all think? Oh geeesss... here acomes the flamin'! --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  15. I did a search and found a few people that have seen the movie, but havent seen anyone discuss it. I just finished it. One of the weirdest movies I have seen in a while. Cool, but I didn't get it. Maybe (like the boat-car guy said) I just received two crayons, not 8. So what did you all make of it? --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  16. The one I have later today is for working at the university climbing gym.... I have others at music stores, and a bank later on. --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  17. Allright, so I got a fe interviews lined up, and I want to know what you al think is some good answers to the "strengths and weaknesses" question. Here is what I thoguht for strengths.... 1. My ability to adapt to certain situations and people. 2. My ability to co-operate with others, to manage the task at hand and succesfully doing what needs to be done as a team. 3. My biceps. For weaknesses, I dont know? I dont have any.... help me out so I can answer them! edit to add: my biceps --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

  20. Your IQ score is 138 (weegegirls IQ is 238) This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others. Your Intellectual Type is Visionary Philosopher. This means you are highly intelligent and have a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a variety of different ways. Like Plato, your exceptional math and verbal skills make you very adept at explaining things to others — and at anticipating and predicting patterns. And that's just some of what we know about you from your IQ results. --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  21. A google search replied more answers to Virtue than Happiness... so its virtue.... I'll post the scores in a sec.... --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  22. Ok, we'll see here in a second...the last question is.... (the happiness vs. Virtue is still unanswered..... Wisdom is knowing what to do next; __________ is doing it. Virtue Luck Happiness Sanity Nostalgia ) --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  23. I'm going to rescind this and apologize for confusing anyone. I've worked out a series of equations that will lead to an accurate answer here: T = D/V Where: T = Time D = Distance V = Velocity (in this case, scalar) Therefore, we can determine the length of each contestant's race by creating the following equation: T = (D/V) + (D/V) Where: each parenthetical value represents a race segment. Therefore, if Jack is in a race with 10 mile segments, his equation would read: T = (10Mi / 30MPH) + (10Mi / 10MPH) Sandy's equation for the same race would read: T = 2(10Mi / 20MPH) We can determine what race length is necessary to produce a tie by setting Sandy's equation and Jack's equation equal to one another, and then solving for the missing distance value: (D / 30MPH) + (D / 10MPH) = 2(D / 20 MPH) Solve for D and you have the length of race necessary to produce a tie. So, the answer is still IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL, but at least now we know why. - topher DAAAMMNNN man, youre giving me friggin headaches....I am DONE with school!!!
