Maybe you should sue the laptop manufacturer for selling you a poorly designed screen. Remster..... not sure if your trying to be funny or make a serious point hear......but you havent managed to do either!! Serisously, have a look at Craig's List: how many freaking warnings they need? And this is the part i suppose.... where you just repeat the same statement that has been made over and over again........ Oce again for your benefit Remster....... They only need one!!!!! I am just saying put it at the top of the page rather than the bottom so you read the warning FIRST!!!!! Its like having a red light 20 meters past the intersection in the road!!!.......It works a lot better if its BEFORE the intersection??? Dont you think???( I swear this is like explaining shit to a 3 year old!!! ) .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!

Sorry but didnt study american history.......... But i believe it was ORIGINALLY " a fool and his honey"... it was said by Thomas Tusser . He was an english poet and farmer. Enough history for you........ .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!

And it will keep on happening.... again... and again.... and again!!!!! And by the way.... I think its great you can participate in the discussion..... I know a lot of people "YOUR AGE", confuse easily when confronted with all the flashing lights and noises of new found technology..... good for you

Maybe take things slow and start with a couple of tandems???? .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!

How about this one???? Doesnt look too bad??

You mean on top of the warnings already up at the bottom of the page? What do you need, someone to come to your house when you click the button to remind you to be carefull? Seriously people... how fool proof do you need a classified site to be? 1. When i open that page.. (maybe because i have a laptop) I cant see that part of the page unless i scroll down..... If someone isn't going to click on them, what makes you think they'll click on another link in red letters that says "scams"? 2. If i was a newbe on the sight and excited about my new gear ( which i have been ) I would look at the page you showed... Im searching from top of the page to bottom....... See complete systems (at the top!)..... and CLICK im on my way......" Cool theres a guy with a big gold star next to his name.....got ripped. ... now ill post i got ripped....... And here we are!!! Wouldn't it be better to have the warning read BEFORE you can choose to get your gear ... Or after you choose say "complete systems" Put the warning ( or another one ) at the TOP of that page???? Or Add 1 sentence next to the classifieds guidelines and highlight it in red with a link.... may not seem like much but im pretty damn sure more people would read it before buying.... therefore it would stop more people getting scammed... Now its just a question of wether its worth doing or not...Yes or No.. In my opinion it would be worth the effort

Firstly im sure the OP LOVES to here you call him a lame idiot , and a Bozo ........ And yes i will always try to help some one out..... Idiot or not!... Fuck... its literally my job man! ( It doesnt mean im not going to be shaking my head and rolling my eyes as i do

s Not connected to the eustachian tube at all. I'd ask your doc if your having bigtime issues. But for general congestion, sudafed usually works for most. I snort a little Afrin prior to diving or flying (when I have congestion) and that usually opens up the sinus passages. But there is no way to totally rule out having a sinus block. Sinus blocks usually give NO warning of impending pain........ Shit just stabs you hard!! Ill say no warning!..... everything was normal during freefall maybe just a little discomfort..... Then opened and a couple of seconds later .... BAM!!!!! I snort a little Afrin prior to diving or flying (when I have congestion) and that usually opens up the sinus passages. HA HA HA.... I can just imagine the look on a tandems face as she walks into the hanger to se her TM calmly finishing off a big line.

Hell yes!!!! So thats wat it was.... Is that connected to the middle ear or is it completely separate?.... how would i go about making sure it NEVER happened again Thanks .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!

Both of these questions have already been answered for you . .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!

yep...little towards the back as well........Thats where it started anyway. Woke up in a cornfield just after i had landed all i could do was roll up in a ball and sob it out till someone came to get me. After 4 codine and 4 hours sleep i was right as rain But have never been as shit scared as i was the next jump on the following day..... forcing myself to get out the plane

.....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!

.....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!

Yep your turn! Just to repeat DZ.com does do a good job policing the site. these are just further suggestions. to limit the human mistakes

I thought saw something earlier in the post as well about that... Hwo about something similar? ....If not im all out of ideas .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!

[reply. They can police the community but will have a hard time protecting each individual purchase, especially if done impulsively and without thought or notice to all the warning signs. But this is what im saying......" All the warning signs " Many people (myself included) never saw the warning sign unitl they look for it !!!!!!!!!! All i was asking ,was to make something like that warning sign into a sticky, or something similar at the top of the classifieds ...... THATS ALL!!!!!! Just put the 1 warning notice somewhere more obvious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its been fun but i think ive made my point now caio .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!

Every one of my students gets the offer from me to help investigate any purchases, inspect gear, and handle escrow if the wish. And several have taken me up on it. After 5 years in gear sales I have a little to offer. But what if they are NOT your student, haven't gotten info from there DZ and are inexperienced in internet buying!!!!... These are the people we are talking about.THEY are the ones that would benefit!!!! Are you saying they are somehow not worthy of our help if we can offer it??????? .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!

YEP... defiantly all americans!!!!! and how am i a tourist?? Are you suggesting i am in america visiting some one .... Yet another great comment by diablo.... If we are going to talk about tourist ....you guys are just english who lost there sense of humor!!!!!! I never made any comments about being hit with a lawsuit.... That shit is rancid to me!!!!! And how did i not give a constructive suggestion!!!!! in fact i think its been one of the only suggestions in this thread..... Once again the only argument here is should we do something if we can ...to ensure people know the dangers!!!! Even if they are void of common sense ????? I say yes ... others say let them burn!! AND AGAIN NOTHING AGAINST THIS SIGHT OR THE HH ...This sight is a lot better for security than others ive seen but if it could be improved to help people why wouldnt you....???? at the moment the ONLY argument is they should have use common sense! THIS IS NOT CONSTRUCTIVE!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you have ANYTHING constructive to say???? Go back and read my post again diablo.... Trust me this sight has definitely opened my eyes about the wider skydiving community! and the fake image of wanting to help out people new to the sport.... its all good and well till they do something stupid then Fuck em!!!! And as sad as it is thi IS a very American attitude!!!!! .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!

. do you realize that you just insulted people with 30x more jumps and thus ALOT more experience with and around skydiving ? Perhaps you should realize that they simply HAVE to know better ??? . SO...... 30k jumps and lots of experience ...... Also an air of superiority and forgetting how green you where when you started.... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE....... I hope as i get more jumps i dont also get this attitude ...... And guys stop kidding your self.....It is a shit attitude.... Are you all from america? They have to know better???? Well im guessing there not getting that info from you..... Fuck it might just start ripping newbes off myself ....... I might get bitched at but at least im not going to have to worry about you changing things to make it harder...... Ill take all your money then when someone tries to help you other will bag them..... eeeeeeexxxxxxxxilent And i could take your money even though you use common sense!!! If you think differently your a fool ! .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!

Sorry .... from NZ not america .... We dont sue our neighbor because we fell of the ladder we borrowed !!!!! What do you REALLY think someone new to the sport is going to think after reading your post???? Just another stuck up skydiver!!!! Remind me never to ask you for a gear check before i get on the plane!!! Fool... think about what you are sayin??? .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!

Sorry .... The latest picture of all the hundreds of thousands of pieces of rubbish we have made to date and left circling earth...... The worst case was the Chinese Destroying a space station and creating an extra 150,000 pieces of debris.... And apparently this stuff can get up to speeds of 30,000 kph! To an alien we must just look like a big virus creating shit wherever we go!!! .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!

Thats right GOD created everything in the Universe!!!!!! He did it in the dark aswell!!!!.......Now thats a talented fella in anyones book! .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!

Fair enough ...... And i think for once and for all we can agree its common sense not to do all the things these people do. Nobody i think s arguing that point..... But as ive said Common sence is NOT that common !!! It may be internet buying,drinking while driving, Not putting on steel caps when you go into the factory... But you still put up big fuck off signs to tell people to what not to do! So we have to say that there will be many more people with no common sense visit this site and then try to buy gear...... So the question now is Do we do something that will mean that not nearly as many new people get stung.......By showing them how to use common sense!, and that yes, we will do everything we can to make sure they get as much info as poss to make an educated decision weather it be skydiving related or not Or do we sit back and wait for them to try and use the common sense we know some dont have, Then say they should have used common sense? I have made it quite clear how we can make fairly simple changes, and at least partially solve the problem......The info is there its just many people never see it......If they read it they wont get scammed or the likely hood of it happening will be a lot lower... And if you cant say something constructive or at least be supportive of those that are trying to make a difference and stop these fuckers from ripping people off. Then YES in a way you are out to screw those future newbes. So anyone want to try and bag my idea without using the word COMMON SENSE????????...... Please ...... Anyone?........Anyone? .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!

We ARE just filthy bastards!!!!!! You wouldnt be able to pay me enough to go into space! dont get me wrong it would be great fun ........ Until a peice of space metal smashed into you at 30000 kph I mean really.... what can you say.... Disgracefull .....And you thought Kiwis couldn't fly!!!!

Im definitely not as sharp as most of you on the subject but at the end of the day if you didnt have any religion in a society, you would still have money and the quest for power. And a lot of the time religion is just the cloak worn by the other two. And what is a good society? Sydney? ...nice place, good laws, Tens of thousands of people homeless. Junkys shooting up on my back door, Whores lined up in the main road. Cant imagine any major citys much different........ Dont get rid of religion the place might turn to shit Being religious doesnt make you a good person! If i walk up to a stranger and stab them in the face its going to feel wrong ( you would hope
