We are a get-rich-quick society. That's why this crap works; that's also why people keep buying those get rich quick schemes. This ad space for sale.

Yunno, from where I sit as a newbie it's becoming increasingly difficult to determine who the crazies really are. The loons who snitch on their fellow skydivers, or the posse of wide-eyed vigilantes running round like headless chickens searching for the Judas amongst themselves. Y'all look kinda weird... we're all crazy. who in their right mind jumps out of airplanes? This ad space for sale.

Strong, too. Most people woulda given up hope. Never doubt the power of those who have the will to live. Props to that motherfucker. This ad space for sale.

I second that. One thing I like about dz.com, esp SC, is we can have relatively intelligent, and very controversial discussions, without the random crap was internet discussion sites have. I know I've said a few controversial things, and I know I've said a few other things that wouldn't exactly help my job at all. I do realize that all of this is online and it could all be dug up, BUT, for someone to go out of their way to ruin somebody else's career because of different opinions is not only off-base, but liable for getting the shit kicked out of them. I definitely don't want to have any kind of association with a cowardly shitbag like that. Given what has happened, I, too, have pulled all of my personal info out my profile.

I consider this much worse than keying someone car. This is screwing over someone's life and personal matters, not just material things. Whoever did this needs a fucking shotgun to their head. They are an absolute waste of life. This ad space for sale.

He! Just last week I went out with my friend who just bought the same Remington 870. Next day I ended up buying the Mossberg 500 and we got a skeet shooter (Outers Flightmaster Jr) for $50. Went out in the middle of nowhere and let off a few hundred rounds .... Damn good times .... This ad space for sale.

I believe you're referring to my post .... and I should clarify it a it. There's two levels of wrongs: 1) the typical problems that happen everyday. whatever stupid crap, we deal with it and go on. these don't really mean anything in close relationships (friends, family, lovers, etc) since they understand the reasons it happened. (ie: depression, stress, whatever) 2) the intentional, conscientous (sp?) betrayal of trust. this should never happen in a close relationship. if it does, and a truly sincere apology is provided, i'd forgive once, but the relationship is heavily damaged and will need a lot more effort to be rebuilt. But I can't see how someone very close to me could pull a number 2. Only very few people in my life have betrayed my trust to that level; one I thought was a good friend, the other was an okay friend. This ad space for sale.

Oh, come on… You’ve “never” hurt “anyone” that you’ve cared about? I have. Sooner or later, everyone will let you down in some form or fashion. Even those you think closest to you. Nobody’s perfect. Forgiveness is all we have. Intentionally never. Sometimes shit happen. We go through hard times, and do/say things we wish we didn't. Someone close would know understand what's happening and would know that it's not what's really felt. Yes, I have hurt members of my family in ways I can not even begin to explain; but they also understood that I was going through tumultuous times. What I mean to say; I know I'm not saying it how it's going through my head is, if someone truly matters, and the feeling is mutual, less serious wrongdoings aren't going to be considered damaging; people who truly care about you will give you your space and let you work it out on your own. They won't need an apology to forgive you. They know it will come in time. The apology is there for the self-conscience. Extremely serious wrongdoings (I'm talking about things like: how the &*%& could he even do that?) would not even be done. I have hurt my family and my friends with things I have done and said, but I have never screwed them over. I considering screwing some over along the lines of betraying trust.

How did you truly make “amends” if their forgiveness was irrelevant? It sounds like from your wording that everything is based on you. That would work if you were the only one in the world that mattered. I understand exactly what he's saying. If I have seriously wronged somebody, I do not expect a forgiveness and am not trying to make amends by any means. I will still apologize, for my own conscience. If the person matters to me to the point that I don't want to break the relationship, I wouldn't have screwed them over in the first place. This ad space for sale.

I've got to get this. At least for myself. If a bookstore here has it, I'll ship it over. send me a pm. This ad space for sale.

Damn, never thought of that, but it sounds cool. I'll have to do that some day when I quit drinking. This ad space for sale.

i'm sitting here bored at work, so i'd like to hear what everybody did for new years and any good stories they might have.... we went to church street in orlando, it was $85 all you can drink, top-shelf included; so we drank grey goose and red bulls all night. on the way back around 3am we saw some guy swerve into the median on the highway. so we pull over, knock on the window, and this guy looks loaded as all hell. his car's stuck and he needs to be pulled out, so we do that and go on our merry way. i also got kicked out of a bar cuz i got tired of waiting for my drink so i leaned over the bar and started grabbing bottles, looking for grey goose. yeah, you could say the bartender wasn't too pleased about that.

Have you ever in your life intentionally betrayed someone, however small an incident it may have seemed to be at the time? I have. Now that I'm older (and wiser? ), I'd like to be forgiven for my past mistakes. Will you go and sincerely apologize for what you did to the person, and make it absolutely clear that you understand what you did was completely and unforgivably wrong, but you just wanted to apologize for doing that. I have wronged people. I have no problem in apologizing when I do something that is really wrong, BUT I tend not to screw my friends over. EVER. That is the only time I would forgive somebody for something they did. I beg to differ. Somebody who consistently wrongs you and has never asked for forgiveness thinks nothing of what he has done, and deserves nothing in return. Someone who continuously wrongs you and continuously asks for forgiveness is using your generosity. A true wrong may be done once, not twice. (I'm not talking about minor things, but serious issues.) The thing is, if someone is consistently wronging you, it's going to be on your mind and tearing you up. It would be easier for your own self to simply let that person go. This ad space for sale.

Oh no you're not. You might think you are, but you have no idea how much fun I'm having. This ad space for sale.

Yes, I would still go, my plans would be somehwat changed; i'd end up somewhere else in florida, but i'd still go. I wouldn't expect any decent amount of service, but then again, I tend to stay in the cheapest hotels. (We had no running water for three days straight in some hotel in Peru.) Not all trips only cost $200. A trip to Thailand, from the states, would cost a good chunk of change. $200 may also be very expensive for some people; they may have had that trip planned for ages.

I have never bought travel insurance in my life. The only thing that will ever make me miss a vacation is me or a close family member being in the hospital, in which case I'll have more things on my mind than the price of the ticket. This ad space for sale.

That's how I felt when I was eight years old. Actually, up to about 17 or so, that's how I felt. I wanted the ideal life, do things strictly for the love of it and no other reason. I didn't care about money, was very unmaterialistic, etc etc etc. Then I started paying my own bills. I would bet the majority of DZ owners are doing it for the love of the sport. I'm sure they can make a lot more money in a -different- business with the same amount of effort and investment. But whats ideal doesn't exactly mesh with reality. I -wish- I could do the things I love to do, and charge as little as I can to make the costs cheaper for everybody else. BUT if I've been working all day, trying to run a DZ, and I am unable to jump because I am running said DZ, and after hours, I have to make sure all the equipment is in good condition, the place is cleaned up, my employees are doing their jobs, my finances are in order, etc. At the end of the day, I don't want to come out with just enough money to eat. I worked hard while everybody else was playing, so I expect to get paid well for it. Doing something for the love of it doesn't mean you have to give everybody else a free ride. Running a business even as a hobby is still a business; a business that doesn't make enough profit won't be a business for long. This ad space for sale.

Heh. I had 6 people in (or on) my miata, with the top down. The driver, two in the passenger seat, and three on the trunk, holding as best as they could. This ad space for sale.
