  1. In what way? This is a new take on it to me. I don't think even the right wing culture warriors who created the controversy for political reason have been saying that.
  2. Yes, several nations of the axis of evil are doing this all the time.
  3. Small British 2 seat sports cars should probably be negative taxed and given a credit.
  4. Both of them? Multi-country? Ah.....the art of the deal!
  5. It is highly annoying to me that my seal is no longer accepted on my customer's gear if they visit the US with it. I could get FAA credentials, but screw that hassle. Bunch of whiny homers down there.
  6. There is no regulation of skydiving gear in Canada. Land of the free.
  7. Maybe someone could ask the FAA where to turn to for guidance.
  8. A harness container system? Many thousands of jumps or until it is too obsolete. Very hard to pin down. But the oldest ones I see still getting at least occasional regular use are from the early '90s.
  9. The advantage would be more opportunity for more people. As more people get acceptance instead of discrimination they will be more able to thrive. The more people who can thrive in any society the better off that society will be. A better question is what advantage to society is there to holding people down?
  10. A lot of people are saying that.
  11. Secretary Seward should have protected him.
  12. I know, I know!!!! I googled it. It is in a convent in Milan.
  13. Not for me with a starting point in 1992. Jumps were $15 CAD then which is only $28.29 now. Jumps here are $47 CAD plus 5% tax. Which is about $34 USD currently. But I think what is more important is the decline in disposable income for younger people who are paying more for rent and other priorities.
  14. Thank you. That gives me some context and understanding into where you are coming from. Now I'm reading up on both Jungle Jim and Farm Gate.
  15. All part of the escalating cost of skydiving that is driving young people away from the sport.
  16. I'm just curious about your experience. I understand that a soldier must do what he must do. Were you a draftee or a volunteer? If I'm not mistaken I believe your service was earlier in the "war" or whatever they called it. Possibly before the draft was very widespread. How many years did you serve?
  17. At least it shows that he doesn't only hate minorities, you know....racoons,...unless you count redheads as a minority group.
  18. Yes, I remember that as well.
  19. I for one remember RonD telling us all what was going to happen in 2016. The evangelicals made it happen just as he said they would.
  20. Be careful Joe. You know what happened last time D voters got overconfident and cocky.
  21. Almost like a basket of deplorables?
  22. I would never have clicked on that link, but since you were brave enough to I tried it. Thanks for giving me a good belly laugh Jerry!
  23. Probably because Biden did not have an event scheduled 20 miles from his home. It almost seems like his main motive was to do something big.
  24. The Olympic games are not satanic, but they are clearly pagan in origin and were held to honour Zeus. So there is that.
  25. I would say he practically defines “big headed”.
