  1. The title of your thread realy ought to be "Female rape victims in CO should stay away from Catholic Hospitals if they are concerned about potential pregnancy" The morning after pill is not emergency medical care... would anyone go to a church (especially catholic) organization and expect to get info on birth control? That seems like a no brainer to me. J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  2. I think it only works when you have the original (or a straight copy) CD... I don't think it will update songs you have already downloaded... J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  3. Does the bill in question do any of these things? No. Would the bill in question step on the "free exercise" clause, quite possibly... J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  4. But is also the belief of the place they work for, not just their own... maybe that is why they chose to work there... and the place the patient in question chose to go... if you go to a chatloic hospital, you should understand that you are going to get the catholic line...

  5. That's a very objective approach to a very subjective thing... its the photograph, not just the print... a better photograph with worth more money, and what it is worth is different to differnet people... for example, the photo in question isn't worth squat to most of us here, but at least one person was willing to pay $10, but not $30... On another note... Most reasonably good consumer photo printers use dyes, not ink these days. J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  6. You can also double click on "track 1" and rename it... you can double click in the blank space in the artisit column and do the same... just like renaming any other file on your computer... J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  7. Would a bill forcing a private religious institution to give out information contrary to its insitutional teachings be a violation of the "separation of church and state", more specifically the "free exercise thereof"? If the bill made the requirement of only public healthcare facilities, and he vetoed it, I think you would have a legit beef.

  8. What a bad salesman... $30 for an 11x14 is not an unreasonable amount, even if it is an opportunity shot... I regularly charge $35 for that size (yes, FOR ONE PHOTO!)... it boils down to poor marketing... he should have just said if you want the picture its $30, and not get into a discussion of what goes in to setting his price point... You have the option of buying it, at the photographer's price, or not... the "let's make a deal" game gets old.

  9. Hey, I'm for showing ID... I don't see any privacy issue with it... CB did, then someone else asked where privacy was protected by the Const... that's all I was pointing out. J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  10. According to the US Supreme Court, the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 9th, 10th and 14th Amendments. J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  11. Its a right to privacy, not a right to anonymity... showing an ID to vote does not equal linking your vote with your name, so I do not see a privacy issue here at all... proving eligibility to vote is a way to help ensure the integrity of the system... And with all the accusations of fraud in the last two presidential elections, yes, IMO it does. J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  12. I heard on the radio today that the program has already resulted in 18 arrests of illegals... and it hasn't even officially started yet. J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  13. that's three things... All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  14. But Bill, the people in question have not been charged with anything... they are just suspected... if they had charges pending, it would have shown up on the background check, and they would not have been able to get the gun until cleared of the charge. I have said before that I disagree with the treatment of Padilla and the Gitmo detainees... charge them, give them a trial, or let them go (send them back to where ever they were picked up in the case of the Gitmo folks) J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  15. It would require and Amendment... Granting citizenship based on being born in the US is part of the 14th Amendment. J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  16. So the writ of habeas corpus and the second amendment are somehow different in their importance? J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  17. 1) Its unlikely they (the 35) were able to buy an AK-47... perhaps a semi-auto version of one, but not the real thing 2) If they are only suspects, and their rights are to be stripped without due process, isn't that just what the ACLU's big beef with the PA and Bush administration's handling of other terror suspects? 3) If they are suspects, one should think they are under surveillance of some sort, so presumably there should be a way to prevent them from using the gun in an illicit act... although I may be giving the DHS/FBI too much credit there.

  18. Hussein You're being revisionist... The intel was the intel... some intel pointed to it, some did not... at the tactical level, many of the indicators did... the intel may have now been shown to be wrong, but that does not change the intel that existed at the time, and much of that, from multiple sources, from multiple countries, did point to it.

  19. Not at all, I suscribe to the theory that we should have stamped this peckerhead out in 91, or 94, or 98... You keep telling us that we put him in power, so it was ultimately our responsibility to acknowledge our mistake and take him out... The national level intel was mixed... OK, you should be looking at all the analysis, not just that that confirms your template... but the tactical level intel pointed very clearly that he had them... commo, unit activities, deployment, yada, yada, yada... not to mention his dick dance with the inspectors... maybe we fell for a massive deception plan and he (SH) wanted us to think he had them, maybe he though he had them, maybe they went across the boarder to Syria... Time will tell. There you have it... he did nothing, it was his fault... don't bother with the fact there there was not any specific report saying 9/11 would happen, or even a 9/11 type attack would happen... we knew when BC was in office that AQ wanted to hit us, and in fact did (USS Cole, WTC '93, Embassy bobmings, etc), yet OBL was not gone after with any vigor, even when offered up... Damed if you do, damed if you don't... Telling good intel from bad is a hard thing to do, having been in the business, I know...it becomes much easier after the battle is over. Sure, mistakes were made, but you can say that all the way back to the departure of the British, and the creation of the current ME states, and every president we have had since then... not just to the sitting president. IMO, history will record that it was the right thing to do, WMD or not. I'm sure you will disagree. J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  20. But if they had it right, and Bush did nothing, and a bunch of people died... who would be screaming "its Bush's fault, he didn't protect us!" Its easy to say the intel was bad, after the fact... but to be paralyzed by it could have worse consequences.

  21. OK, intelligent I can agree with, but where do you get that he is power hungry? He has stated that he will not run in '08, he didn't jump at the VP job in the first place... those are not consistent with being power hungry. Edit to add... and on the whole impeachment thing, the only thing on there that even remotely approaches the level of impeachable is the denial of due process to US citizens... the rest is just drivel.

  22. You can't possibly be suggesting that Warren isn't a serious filmmaker, can you? Sure, he captures the lighter side of the sport, but man there is always some serious badass skiing in there... there is even some skydiving in his new one. J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  23. No doubt, Rook is a great guy and camera flyer, but to get to the "Warren Miller" level its not just being a good or even great camera guy/gal... there are lots of those, including Rook... its the ones that make the effort to produce a high quality finished product with broad appeal... not just a boggie tape or year end video (not suggesting that is all that Rook does either) J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  24. There is no one "Warren Miller" in skydiving... Some of the big names that have made some of the better known videos are: Mike McGowan Norm Kent Tom Sanders Joe Jennings Patrick Passe But with the pervasiveness of video cameras in the sport, and the explosion in people dabbling in video editing there is plenty of cool video to be had... check some of the online gear outlets and they will have a number of titles to choose from. For some of the old school stuff, check around the DZ. J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
  25. I see two possible solutions... 1) Learn to land 2) Get used to being on the other side of the camea and don't choke J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke
