Will it be brokered through Dennis Rodman? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Triggered? Is that what you call it when you resort to vulgarity and people answer back? At least you are slightly more clever than Marc. Even though you both keep claiming how "hilarious" you feel we are as you express your anger. Remember the Cuban missile crisis? The "libtard" JFK handled that without starting a war. I'm doubting Trump could. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Nice, and typical of right wingers. I'm sure Trump's hard cock meets your approval. Kim has and will give up little or nothing. He will gain a lot of prestige at home, a short pause in US-South Korea military training, and a significant lessening of pressure from China. Which is what really matters to him. Trump will gain nothing. You already love his erection anyway. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

In theory you should never know. The only correct procedure is to act as though there is no RSL and to pull both handles. It doesn't matter if it works or not. But it's pretty safe to assume that a correctly rigged and connected RSL will extract your pin after a successful cutaway. It is not safe to assume your RSL is correctly rigged and attached though. There are people who advocate for disconnecting an RSL during a spinning mal. I consider this idea to be close to madness. I call it "in air rigging". But on the other hand there are tandem malfunctions that call for doing just that. There are several good reasons tandems open so high and this is one of them. Your level of experience and situational awareness will have a great effect on how you assess and react to various problems that you may encounter upon deployment. You should practice and plan on the simplest and most proven EPs before considering adding more complexity. Many people have died from hesitating to act while trying to fix things. In skydiving you will spend a lot of time on the ground wondering and thinking about EPs. You will ask questions here and get tons of opinions. But you will have very few malfunctions. Which means almost no real practice. When the shit hits the fan it is time to react. The KISS principle will be your friend.

At home we have always trained look, grip each handle with one hand, pull right, pause, pull left. Once trained, most people will retain what they first learned. I have. I know many people trained this way who have had hard pulls on either handle and have had to adapt by two handing on occasion. I know people who have used two hands for a cutaway and then been unable to find the reserve handle. I only know this because of AAD saves, otherwise we would never know. AADs eliminated a whole class of fatalities known as no pull after cutaway. We never found out if these people died because they froze and forgot to deploy, or if they cutaway and then could not find the magic silver handle. My vote is for putting one hand on each handle then using them. My reason is that way I know I have them both. But it won't work for every person every time. Nothing will. Edit, we train students to just drop the handles. We tell them it would be nice if they brought them back, but that we don't really care very much.

Funny, I'm a liberal and I'm feeling alright. And I don't even have to post untruths to support my position. I just tell it like it is and then watch as you prevaricate so badly that you make my point for me. It's like taking candy from a baby.

Repeal and replace any big social programs lately? Medicare? Medicaid? Social security? Open any new coal power plants lately? Can you smell the pot laws changing? Conservatives are just bitter people who can't let go. Took them a long time to adjust to the end of Jim Crow too. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

Oh good golly. Radicalism on college campuses! Whoever heard of that before? These are just young people with more idealism than real experience. Nothing new there at all. And no doubt almost all of the "offenders" are from the arts side of their various schools. They are doing their best to shock you, they have no power, only ideas. They are sure of themselves in the way that only the young can be. Time for it to end? I'm thinking not. There will always be a new crop of freshmen. Traditionally, the only "beatings" happening around these sort of movements are done to the students. They are the direct inheritors of the Kent State victims. Fox news is offended. Give me a break.

Elections are only skirmishes. Liberalism is winning all the wars all the time. What it means to be conservative just keeps changing. Conservatives have mostly given up on trying to suppress women and gays and trans people. The battles are over, except for a few dead-enders. People like Tim Cook tell the state governments that if they don't change the stupid bathroom laws it will cost them money. So they cave. Because money talks and bullshit walks. Even the Koch brothers want to dump Trump. Enjoy your brief moment of glory. It won't last long. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Ah Marc... you are so skilled at putting forward your positions. It's sometimes hard for me to understand why all the "jackasses" in the world haven't come around to your point of view yet. You are almost as skilled as your Great President. Liberalism is the future. The world has become ever more liberal in your lifetime and it will become ever more liberal in the future. Because that is progress and it will always move forward no matter how much you want it to stand still or go backwards. It must suck to be the loser all the time......

Or, you could go with what has proven to work in every other western nation. Gun control. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

There are many people I know who are hostile toward suicide victims. And they would refuse to call them victims. Personally I am somewhat troubled by the amount of attention that is given when famous people kill themselves. More care should be shown to the everyday lives and deaths of ordinary suicides.

First, he got the leadership position of the conservative Party. Then he won an election with 40.3 % support. In a parliamentary system with a left party, a centre left party and a right party. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Alcohol does not kill people in accidents. People kill people in accidents. I am assuming your post is in jest. Because stiffer penalties are proven to work. Including jail terms. DUI sentences in America tend to be light. Unless someone is killed, then they go over the top.

Marc, you may be getting a little paranoid out there in your corner of SD. Hopefully the USA will see a massive correction in November. But I'm pretty sure that if it happens you will be parroting your glorious leader's talk about election "rigging". For the record, I for one would hate to see you banned from here. You actually perform a very valuable service in providing the rest of us insight into how a true Trump believer thinks. Without your input I would have almost no understanding of how people like you rationalize what is happening. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

Canada's largest province just elected Doug Ford, brother of the late Toronto mayor and Canada's answer to The Mango Mussolini as premier. He is sure to provide oodles of entertainment. Just last week his brother's widow launched a lawsuit claiming he embezzeled a large part of Doug's estate. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-election-vote-ford-horwath-wynne-pc-ndp-liberal-green-1.4696736 Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

Even if you could find a way to stop the 14 to 19 year old dissatisfied male set from being resorting to violence they only represent a small fraction of the firearm violence in the USA. Massive cutbacks in firearm availability are what is needed. And I don't see that happening anytime soon. But one day it will.

The internet and smart phones has been the biggest revolution in human communications since the advent of the written word. That is why you are here. Firearms on the other hand are the biggest improvement in killing machines since the knife. One is a tool designed for helping. The other is a tool designed for killing. Your post and your thinking are an extreme example of an attempt to create a false equivalency. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

There are several riggers who make linesets and will make you one from Vectran or Technora. There are probably no riggers who would be willing to install a Sabre 2 lineset on a Sabre. The result would be unpredictable.
