  1. Just yesterday he launched another one of his outrageous tirades against the west and in favour of Russia. Today in the US news the story has all but disappeared. Meanwhile media in the rest of the allied world is reporting on the polite way he was told to fuck right off. Meanwhile, the orange would be tyrant is claiming the world has agreed to buckle under. While NK throws water in his face by not attending the meeting about repatriating war dead. The amount of winning is getting tiresome.

  2. Peter Strzok's testimony is showing that he is strong enough to stand up to any bullshit Gowdy can throw at him. The R spin machine is trying hard and getting nowhere. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  3. Note, you have misspelled Mr. McGowan's name.
  4. I'm assuming you are not that familiar with how to search for things like that. So, I did it for you. This is just the first one I found. I'm sure there are other places. http://www.chutingstar.com/selections-skydiving-photo-book-by-michael-mcgowan
  5. Mostly the complicated story of Lindbergh. Both an American patriot and a lover of German industriousness. But one quote really got me, and it has echoes today: Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  6. Could you possibly make what you are saying a little more vague? The clarity of your statements are just so stunningly clear that I'm having a hard time focusing on how to reply. Thanks Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  7. I particularly like the part were they accuse her of "forcing herself" upon them! That Stormy, so aggressive. That's probably how Trump got in trouble with that "bad girl". Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  8. First ever charges under that law. Three undercover cops just happened to be policing her act. Three misdemeanor charges. Can you spell h-a-r-a-s-s-m-e-n-t? Getting out ahead? Why bother. She just scored several million more dollars of free publicity for her nationwide stripper show. No doubt she is extremely worried about the small fine she will face.

  9. Seems like a load of bull to me. What part of the Constitution do you think the left fears? I'm guessing you are mostly concerned about the 2nd and your precious right to own killing machines. The Constitution is the main thing standing in the way of the right wing imposing harsh laws. The left love the Constitution. The US Constitution was and still is an extremely Liberal document.

  10. Yes the Sabre was the canopy all others were compared to. And now that role goes to the Sabre 2. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  11. Yes, there were quite a few good reasons not to get involved. In Canada we felt obliged to come to the defense of the Crown. But there was strong resistance in some quarters. Especially in Quebec. In 1942 there was a national plebiscite over conscription that most of English Canada supported and most of French Canada did not. It still is one of the larger forces dividing the country. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  12. I would just point out that antisemitism was just as strong in Canada and that Canada's record of accepting Jewish refugees is just as shameful. As was the case for most of the western world. There is a good reason why Israel does not really trust the west. Or anyone for that matter. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  13. I'm not going to bother looking up confirmation for my understanding of why America got into WWII. As far as I'm concerned there were forces in the US that wanted to earlier but they could not overcome those with isolationist views or even those who sympathized with the Nazi regime. Japan's attack ended the influence of those people. The underlying reason was nothing to do with morality and everything to do with wanting to preserve the existing power structure in Europe. As a general rule no nation wages war for moral reasons. People and nations wage war for territorial or economic reasons.

  14. It is possible. But given the razor thin win, the loss in the popular vote, the weakness of his opponent, and the strength of the current opposition it appears unlikely. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  15. His head is getting bigger and bigger all the time. Like many successful tycoons he is turning out to be an asshole. Almost like a rock star with too many groupies. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  16. It seems to be erect as well. Is someone about to be shafted? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  17. You know that the original Sabre can be made to open quite nicely with a larger slider or pocket slider? One source of information: http://www.pcprg.com/hardop.htm Westerly, you have very strong opinions for someone who actually has very little experience. Do some more research and talk to more people. Sabres were of a successful but somewhat pioneering design. They moved the ball forward quite a bit, but PD and everyone else learned some lessons with this generation of canopies. One of them was that larger sliders and slower openings were needed. Skydivers have been modifying parachutes for as long as there have been canopies to modify. Stuffing into the centre cell is old news. Just because you've never seen it before does not mean it is wrong. PD did not offer refunds on Sabers, nor should they. People loved them and coped with the opening. They still do. Your comparison to modifying truck brakes is so far out there that I have little to say other than if you expect that kind of guarantee find a different sport. Or better yet, do some reading about where skydiving came from.

    On the other hand, a number of somewhat prominent Rs have said they are abandoning the good ship Trump. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/letters/ct-gop-trump-immigration-meeting-swear-20180116-story.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/13/opinion/alabama-republicans-trump.html http://observer.com/2018/03/republican-midterm-candidates-face-reality-check-women-flee-gop/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2018/06/20/steve-schmidt-never-trumpers-and-life-after-the-gop/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.e2f28a53e4d3 Congress critters of the R persuasion are choosing not to run for re-election in record numbers. Either because they can no longer stomach Trump or because they don't like their chances. Fake news about people turning toward Trump? Good luck with that Marc. But in the end it will come down to who turns out to vote. As always. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    I'll bet he's retired. Like you. I'm guessing he's an ex intel guy. Very mysterious. Probably in league with a foreign (to you) government. Please excuse me if I don't give a fuck what you think?

  21. It must be hard for you. Trying to argue with a man who knows words and uses them correctly. It just seems so unfair to subject your "logic" to such scrutiny. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

    If you'd done the tiniest bit of research, you'd know that the "walkaway" "movement" was a painfully obvious astroturfing campaign. Just more propaganda... Oh great. Really! Show me the link that supports your assertion.

  23. Without looking anything up my understanding is that in any situation where you need to cutaway from a situation where there may not be enough drag in whatever is out to ensure a clean cutaway the best thing to do is to disconnect the RSL and then cutaway. Following that action you should ensure that the risers have left you, and to remove them from the rings if necessary. After that pull the ripcord. I hope never to have to test my ability to remember and perform those tasks. Tandem EPs are not simple.
  24. It's pretty clear that the purpose of the application is for the applicant to identify who they are so they can be checked out. I mean if ID is so important to prevent voter fraud why can't it be used to prevent killing machine acquisition fraud? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  25. I accept that you do not believe that God made some people vermin. But I do believe that Trump believes some people are vermin. I still disagree. Then why does he talk of infestation? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
