  1. Makes me sick but you are completely right. What did you think about Gingrich in that interview? Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  2. You never know, he might run. Every time he is confronted with the question, he ducks it, but never says he won't. It's up to us as countrymen to either hold the Senate and Congress accountable or replace them. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  3. I will find the transcript and post it. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  4. I know we've had a few threads on amnesty lately but please be objective and view this short video thru it's entirety. Gingrich hit this subject dead on and I have to say that I'm pissed at Bush. (Somebody make a note of that. I don't believe I've ever said that before) http://hotair.com/archives/2007/06/03/video-newt-unloads-on-bush-and-the-amnesty-bill/ Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  5. Which is 3x as much as spent on health and education combined. (Clicky added) Not true. HHS and Social Security (i.e. entitlements) are more than double than what is spent on defense. Here's a chart, and a link. SMACK!!! LOL Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  6. Last year the US spent $528.7 billion on weapons? No shit? But DOD total budget for 2006 was less than $420 billion. That includes operating and maintenance costs for the entire military. Housing, new construction, etc. Why the discrepancy? Ask the WSJ. online.wsj.com/article/SB118156485110131084.html?mod=googlenews_wsj Nice dodge, chief. 1. Practically no-one who posts here has 1st hand knowledge (as opposed to hearsay) of any topic discussed. 2. Anonymous posters have no credibilty on any topic anyway. then why bother posting? Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  7. Why don't YOU tell US? YOU brought up percentages in the first place. You have the data, right? The burden of proof lies with you. You're the one claiming she has an incurable Venereal Disease based on ambiguous data which even if it were not of such questionable origin has a very common & obvious benign explanation. As for the rest of your post, it only serves to make my point. I never said you had to like her, I pointed to your dislike as the motivating factor in your readiness to assume the worst. Now this thread is worth keeping score. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  8. Packing Cathy is just a wonderful person. She has a great safety record and has a passion to do everthying in her power to make her fun jumpers happy. She also makes is a great experience for people doing their first tandem jump. They currently have a C-182 but will bring a larger plane in due time. Location wise is just great. You get to jump over the Georgia / Florida border and see from Amelia Island right across the Atlantic Ocean. They have two landing zones which have plenty of room for all types of experienced jumpers. The larger field just north of the hanger is for the beginers and the field closest to the hanger just to the south has plenty of room for more experienced people and the swoopers. They also have packers that can get your sport rig packed in about 5-10 minutes and do it safely. As fast as the packers are, I've never had a MAL from them yet. Over all I am dedicated to help Cathy grow and I hope this review encourages others to come visit and become regulars.
  9. Now if we can only get Sandy Berger to get what he deserved. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  10. I wanted to say thank you for all who posted in memory of our nations fallen. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  11. Blue skies to all of your friends that you have not forgotten. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  12. I knew Michael Lawson. I was in HSL-60 in Mayport when I met him. RIP Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  13. I just wanted to start a thread for skydivers to post their Memorial Day tributes to fallen family or friends who died while in service. This thread is also for anyone who would like to just post comments in general for our fallen sailors and soldiers. I will start with Lance Corporal Joshua Watkins of Jacksonville, Fl who died in Iraq on Oct. 21st 2006. We will never forget what you and your unit did and sacrificed. Thank you to all of our KIA, MIA, and POW's for what you have done. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

  15. Just a minor correction. I LEFT the united states. I'm a permanent resident of Canada. But the point is largely irrelevant. I did follow all the rules, filled out mountains of beaurocratic forms, paid many thousands of dollars, and revealed intimate details of my history to the authorities who can now use and abuse that information as it sees fit. Of course I trust the canadian government is at least partially guided by decency and respect. If I were trying to immigrate into the U.S., I'd be scared to death to open my life up to that bloodthirsty government. I stand corrected. The door was swinging the other direction in your situation.

  16. It's quite long I agree but if the Chinese could manage the great wall then I'm sure we could come up with something similar. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  17. It's more than viable narci. There are a lot of U.S. citizens that think legal immigrants in our country should be here (including myself), and that illegal immigrants should not. Lets take you for example, you're a permanent resident and have every right to be here since you aren't here illegally. I highly doubt you smuggled yourself on an orange truck. If an immigrant wants citizenship then they need to work for it. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  18. A round up over night is not feasible, but locking down the boarders and deporting illegals over a period of time can be. I respect your view point but I still think the bill isn't the solution. I guess we'll see what happens now. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  19. Thank you Washington for putting 12 million illegal immigrants on the path to amnesty....NOT! Why reward invasion, and lawbreaking? The bill also promises to "toughen up" on the boarder and interior security. What is there to "toughen up" on when you waive the magic wand and grant citizenship? A complete disregard for current federal laws. http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/05/17/senate.immigration/index.html Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  20. It's sad that we are being destroyed from within. What's worse is that we allow it because we (most Americans) are too lazy to be involved in politics because it's more important to worry about the new American Idol or the next head coach for the Dallas Cowboys. Priorities ?!?! Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  21. That's great news! Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
  22. I own a QuasarII and had sent it back to Strong Enterprises 10 days ago. It was just sent back to me completely fixed in accordance with Service Bulletin #26. Mike Rinaldi (sales & service) was very apologetic about the situation and strives hard to get their customers' rigs fixed ASAP! I was impressed on how fast S.E. jumped on it, and how much they were concerned about my safety and satisfaction. You know I've seen a lot of posts in this thread asking the question of How can I trust this company again?. This was never an issue of anything intentional. Further more, I ask has anyone ever dealt with lets say a car dealership and the service manager makes excuses or is laying down the "cover up"? Here is what I got from Strong Enterprises so far..... 1. It was a bad design. 2. Fortunately no one was killed because of it. 3. We are real sorry and are investigating right away. 4. Please send your rig back at our expense because we have a solution. 5. Your rig is fixed and we apologize for the inconvenience. Please take comfort in knowing that the modification was test jumped by the company's president. Yep, that sounds like a company that I can trust when their sales and service department convey to me that they truly want my business for life and will do anything to make me happy. It doesn't take a rocket scientist or someone with a D-license to sniff out good customer service and a company that stands behind their product.

  24. I agree with your point in this post. The government of Iran is different from the people of Iran. For the record (and make a note of this because it's a rare statement coming from a Republican ) bombing the entire country if Iran is not the answer regardless if they captured saliors from the UK or whether they continue to snub their nose at us about the production of nukes. I do like Newt Gingrich's idea which is to set up a blockade on Iran for imported gasoline. Iran only has one functioning refinery so if you bomb just that refinery, all the crude in the world is useless at that point. Force the government to import fuel and then send NATO forces in to stop the incoming tankers. Eventually, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will get tired of walking as will the rest of the country and will come to their senses that the captive sailors aren't worth it. What does bother me personally is that the elite left wing icons such as Ted Kennedy and Harry Reid haven't jumped to the defense of our allies by demanding the release of the British sailors. It was a violation of international law and complete disregard for the Geneva Convention. BUT they can sure squak about Guantanamo Bay and how unfair our enemies were mistreated. Where do they come up with THAT price list ?!?!?! Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!
