  2. I do not. I'd like to see some though. I always tell people that statistically tandems are by far the safest jumps anyone can do. For both the TI and the student. This is due to the degree of training, and the strict safety protocols that are usually followed. (I know there are notable exceptions) But this is just something I was told once. It makes sense, but I'd like some numbers to back it up. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  3. Or a new martyr. It'll be interesting to see how each of the candidates tries to spin it to their advantage. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  4. That would be nice. But it's hard to believe this apparently Russian news site would break it before CNN. Edit to add, on the other hand, maybe they have. http://katu.com/news/local/leader-of-oregon-occupation-ammon-bundy-three-others-arrested Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  5. Don't you get it? We are talking Texas here. If there was any chance at all that the Harris County prosecutor could any wrong doing by PP he fail to grab the glory of nailing them? Fact, PP did NOTHING wrong. Can't you find a battle that you have at least a tiny shred of a chance to win? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  6. Well that's nice for you. Especially since only moments ago you were feeling sad for Normiss. I'm glad I was able to cheer you up. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  7. It's not all that sad to watch you resort to lies and deceptive web pages to justify the illegal acts. It's comical to watch you show all the rest of us just how poor your argument is. Maybe you should stop before you become a laughing stock. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  8. The Court ruled 7–2 that a right to privacy under the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment extended to a woman's decision to have an abortion. The reason it is legal is not because of any law. It is legal because it is a right. However, you are correct about heathcare. That is not a right in the USA.

  9. How fitting.......... Thank you. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  10. It was fought in the courts as a rights issue. By people dedicated to woman's rights. SCOTUS agrees that it is a rights issue. Even those who disagree want to frame it as a "fetal rights issue". You are the one trying to re-frame it on terms more favorable to your viewpoint. It most certainly is a rights issue at it's heart.

  11. What I said was in reply to this, which was written by Rushmc. To me it is not primarily a health care issue, it is a rights issue. Specifically a woman's rights issue. Society is ruled by law, and the law allows women the right to an abortion. That argument has been settled at the highest level of man's law. There are countries that prefer God's law over man's law. But in places where man's law prevails, generally women are allowed abortions. The exceptions are all places where the Catholic Church or Muslim teachings exert a large influence over law. Other people can and do oppose abortion rights outside of religious reasons, that is true. But they would seem to have lost that battle everywhere in the world except in these religious based places. I suppose that is because the rights of women to a choice have been judged as more important than protecting these people from being offended by abortions. And THAT is the argument that Rushmc thinks TK can't win, but is actually already won. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  12. I'm happy to be on the opposite of the Rush coin. Thanks. But do you disagree with what I said? Or do you just not like that I said it? My point was that a woman's right to an abortion is settled law in the US. Same as in Canada, and most civilized countries at are not unduly influenced by churches. If people want to change this fact they need to work within the law of man. Claiming God is on their side won't help them.

  13. If you believe in the Constitution and the rule of law, they clearly have already won the argument. If you believe the rule of the church should prevail over the law of man, there are other countries you can live in. Saudi Arabia comes to mind.

  14. I know. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  15. I can and do At least when looked at globally Yes you do. But with zero credibility. The carbon levels are climbing, the glaciers are melting. Why are carbon levels climbing? I can accept rationalizations and honest disagreements about the consequences of this warming. There will be winners and losers. But if you close your eyes and pretend it is not happening you are not really part of the conversation. You're just a distracting noise on the sidelines.

  16. As sweet as having these fraudsters indicted is, the real point is that PP DID NOTHING WRONG. Zimmerman has nothing to do with this. Don't change the subject. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  17. Pay? What is this pay you speak of? It's all free if know where to look. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  18. I live in Manitoba. Drinking age here is 18. We get tons of under 21 American kids in the bars helping our youngsters be stooopid. There's lots of stoooopid to go around both countries!!!! Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  19. This premise is utter nonsense. How would someone's right to own a guy impact TK's right to life? Seriously, your premise is absolute nonsense. You can't even have a relevant conversation around it. The rate of gun death in the US is 5 times that of other western nations. That makes TK 5 times more likely to die in a firearm incident than in countries without gun totin' rights. That is the premise I am basing my comment on. I know many and possibly most Americans are willing to pay that price. But you can't deny the price must be paid. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  20. Age does matter. But 21 is for drinking. 18 is for sexting. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  21. Someone has now gone down the "Slippery Slope" to indictment by a grand jury. Meanwhile PP is cleared. Because they did no wrong. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  22. So just to be clear... Based on the above statement you believe your rights are more important than someone else's rights. I would say TK's right to life IS greater than your right to guns. Even if you can make an argument based on the US Constitution otherwise. But then again, no one ever guaranteed anyone the right to feel safe.

  23. 10-4, I was kind of hoping you were being at least a little tongue in cheek. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  24. I wonder why I never considered that? Yes of course, these brilliant tacticians are saving the locals from their own ignorance. They just are not smart enough to appreciate all that bis being done for them by Ammon the Great. Thank God we have you here to point this out. You are at least as clever as the great militia, will you be joining them soon in liberating these unfortunate yokels? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  25. When you defer maintenance too long your AMO will stop giving you technical release on your aircraft. Maintenance schedules are non negotiable. In Canada. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
