    SLUTWALK

    I'm sorry, but this has to be one of the silliest ideas I've ever heard. Dress up like a slut to walk the streets in protest of sexual assault. There will always be sexual predators and walking the street like a slut to demonstrate to those sexual predators that just because we dress like sluts; our mission is to teach you that you shouldn't rape. Have I got that about right? Two thoughts on this... 1) Dress how you like; but take a friggin self-defense course or get your CCW or sumpin. 2) This walk will last as long as it takes for the first girl going home from slutwalk only for some predator to stalk and rape one of them... (course, no one thought that far in advance, did they?). This is another one of those Groupthink ideas where someone said, "Hey, you know what would be a great thing to do??!!?" Now, that person I don't blame. It's the second or group of people who holler out. "YEAH!! That's a great fucking idea." Silliness. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  2. Fuck all that. The best time you can have and some really great football is the local Friday night High School football game. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  3. Have sex with her. He'll find out. You'll lose them both. Misery gone and some pussy in the process. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  4. Huh? This makes no sense at all. Corporations are NOT going to _eat_ any additional cost... It gets passed on to the consumer. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  5. Just a quick note... I choose to PLF when I can, but learned to slide effectively when hauling meat to protect the student. One thing to remember on a high speed landing and PLF's is... When PLF's were devised, there were no reserve parachutes on your back so rolling across the shoulder blades was no problem. With a high speed landing these days, one could injure their back rolling over the reserve. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  6. Kinda like, "Ya know you're a redneck if...?" Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  7. Well, unless we're in the air... Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  8. Damn, damn, damn. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  9. ROOOO!!!!!! Thanks... ain't seen nor hear'd from ya in awhile. Hopes ya doin well, kid. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  10. I guess I didn't realize Steve had started a vibes thread for me and it got buried. Thanks, Steve and everyone on here for your thoughts, vibes, prayers. All is well... Doctor says I can go back to skydiving in July. Interestingly enough, it's been about the duration of time and motivation I needed to find the passion again. Thank you all... See ya at a DZ near you in my travels... Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  11. The way to "persuade" a bully to stop is for every kid to bust him in the mouth every time he bullies someone. Avoidance Behavior can be a form of "persuasion." Here's about 1,460,000 results for "Bully Posters" in Google Images.... effective program? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  12. From the same article... [Only] 28% of the additional costs would be paid by the near/poor... Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  13. Matt... please don't try to inject logic into the damn program. We're trying to keep it on an emotional level.
  14. There is no such thing as failing a jump. That comes from the old AFF 7 level program. The US now uses "Categories" in which there are more than one jump in each category as you progress. If you don't meet the objectives for that dive in that category,, you simply remain in that category until you've met the objectives. Please take into account two things, 1) Most static line DZs are weekend only operations, and 2) whether you go AFF OR Static-line, both instructional methodologies will have you complete the performance objectives at approximately the same 25 jumps required for the "A" license.

    Ow, that hurt

    There's a SkyMama Section in the http://www.osha.gov/doc/outreachtraining/htmlfiles/stairlad.html Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  16. Second and third opinion on both the jaw and the insurance? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  17. I love how liberals think they have the market cornered on promoting equality. Even THE most Republican sector in the US Military's motto is "De Oppresso Liber." Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  18. The discussion of pedophilia under the guise of humor is not funny... even traipsing around the edges of it. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  19. Steve, when it comes to art... is there anything you can't do? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  20. So what you're saying is... just cause I'm pulling before you doesn't mean I won't have a mal and wind up passing thru you until I get my EP's done? I learn sumpin new on this here Internet thingie everyday. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  21. Sure, that's going to be true about any type of Instructor/Professor/Trainer in any industry. There will always be those who are ticket punchers and those who are passionate about teaching. And, even for those that are passionate; when it wanes, take a break and come back when and if the passion returns.

  22. Someone was actually sitting in their office one day and thought, "I've got an idea." Now, the thing is I don't blame that person. I blame the group of numbnuts below him who kissed his ass and said, "Yeah, Boss that's a great idea." It's kinda like milk. You know there was someone... the first one... to climb up under a cow and tug on, or suck on her teats to get some milk. Now, who knows, that could have been a matter of survival or sumpin. But, at some point down the road, he went up to someone and said, "Hey, you know what you should do..." Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  23. Voted, "None." As the article states there were issues before Lady Gaga arrived. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  24. You need to get out of the fucking house now; make a skydive, get laid, go to a club, watch porn... Do ANYTHING different than continue to sit there contemplating the "hotness" between Mrs. Butterworth or Aunt Jemima Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  25. The way I see it... As long as the ratings remain an evaluation process and not an Instructor Training Course, the issue will always be there. With an ITC, Instructors would be held to a training standard AND evaluated. Those I/E's would then have longer to train Instructor Candidates and there would be more time to coordinate audits of I/E courses to maintain their rating.
