So, maybe the people who were killed needed to be killed? We are all engines of karma

I'm a 4-F, due to being deaf in one ear, plus probably age, by now (...I'm 46). We are all engines of karma

Overall I find your comments to be very thoughtful, with the one item noted above. We need to be able to effectively crush our enemies, whomever they may be. We are all engines of karma

It could be your firewall that's blocking the pictures. I was having the same problem with a site called ehowa.com. On that site, somewhere, are directions that fixed the problem. We are all engines of karma

I lived in San Francisco for 3 years. Went through three 5.5s. After the third one, I just rolled over and went back to sleep. Once I saw it was only the pictures shaking on the wall, I knew it wasn't a big deal. We are all engines of karma

System Architect is pretty good. I like to use their leveled data flow diagrams. You can run several "validation checks" to make sure the data flows balance correctly (i.e., data in = data out). Plus, it forces you to come up with a reasonable vocabulary before you start coding (...which is the essence of good software) We are all engines of karma

Yes, at Skydive Strathallan in Auchterarder. Edit - I just read the other posts here. This happened to me in 1988. I see things have changed since then. We are all engines of karma

US dropzones require a riggers seal on the reserve. UK dropzones won't allow US jumpers to keep the seal. If you're packing your own reserve (as they do in the UK), you'll need to get a rigger to pack it before jumping in the US. Typically, that costs about $50 USD. We are all engines of karma

Philosophically speaking, you and I are in agreement. The definition of non-violent crime is subjective. Nevada allows brothels. Other states don't. Southern states allow home owners to protect their homes via the use of handguns. Northern states, in practice, don't. Murder is never allowed. We are definitely in agreement on that.

I see what you're saying. We can probably agree that there is a difference between a violent crime and a non-violent crime. Violent crimes cannot be tolerated. Non-violent crimes tend to be culturally subjective. We are all engines of karma

You're right! We are all engines of karma

I was referring more to the women, and their actions in this life. We are in full agreement re: the killer. We are all engines of karma

This is a bit off-topic, but I felt compelled to put some input here. Rehmwa, you were privelaged to serve in the nuclear navy. I graduated at the top of my engineering class, and was invited by Rickover to serve. I wanted to, badly. Actually went to a Navy recruiter after I finished my Masters degree to sign up. The recruiter looked me up, there I was on file, and we were ready to go. Then, he asked me if I had any "physical defects". I said yes, I am deaf in one ear. Sorry, that was a no go. How did I become deaf in one ear? There's a very good chance that my mother did that to me. See, my mother is a fundamentalist holy roller in the deep south. I figure I've been badly beaten hundreds of times by a belt, by her, because that's one of the ways in which she felt Jesus. She used to actually foam at the mouth while she beat me. Too boot, I was a goody-two-shoes kind of guy. Never really understood why I was being beat. Some people actually have had it worse than me in this life. I've managed to do ok so far, but I have my issues (...my adrenaline system works pretty well). I can easily see where there are others that have issues and can't keep from falling off the side of the cliff. Constant psychic pain is very difficult to deal with, especially when it's hard wired into your very being. I agree with you completely that we are responsible for our actions. But, as Newton said, there is action and reaction. Sometimes, actions are really reactions to things that happened long ago. That's a simple statement of fact, IMO. To reiterate my point, sometimes actions are really reactions. I'm not condoning violence. Absolutely not. But, life can be very difficult to those less fortunate than ourselves.

I respectfully disagree. I think's its the seedling for an AN-2. BillyVance has done a great service to science by clearly documenting this potentially disturbing observation. BillyVance, whatever you do, don't water it We are all engines of karma

Interesting reply. Thanks for posting it. We are all engines of karma
