  1. That is friggin hilarious! "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do." Ben Franklin
  2. Used to be 2 hours. Now it is 16 minutes door to door!
  3. It would be interesting to see the opinions of people who have kids compared with the opinions of people who don't have kids. I knew everything about raising kids..............until I had my own.
  4. I was taught with the SL method. In my first 20 freefalls I spotted 10-12 of them if not more. I guess it depends on the instructor. AFF requires more "up front" cash. For me, SL made more sense financially because I didn't have large amounts of cash available. I was better able to pay a smaller amount over a longer period of time. I also was not willing to put it onto a credit card. Just another perspective. "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do." Ben Franklin
  5. The issue isn't the number of vetoes. The issue is them crying like my four year old when his brother gets more candy at Halloween. Maybe it is just a cry for attention. Should we sit down and play with them a little more? Maybe we could institute family (NATO) game night where no TV is allowed and everybody pays a lot of attention to France.
  6. I think the French are determined to sour relations even more with the UK and the US. They are throwing tantrums like a two year old that no one wants to play with. "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do." Ben Franklin
  7. Except for the fact that it is illegal. "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do." Ben Franklin
  8. Because the teachings make sense. Jesus is an extremely good role model. If you lose the cynicism of "know it alls", the extra restrictions dreamed up by some church leaders, and the bad examples set by religious men then I believe you can have a wonderfully fulfilling life with no regrets. "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do." Ben Franklin
  9. It seems more like you have devoted your life to being the center of attention. If you are doing something totally for yourself you shouldn't feel the need to advertise it so much. Most people grow out of that after puberty. "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do." Ben Franklin
  10. Yeah, and Clinton consulted an intern. "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do." Ben Franklin
  11. Based on the religion thread, I would say yes. "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do." Ben Franklin
  12. It seems like it bothers you that people believe in God. I've done a lot of reading and study on the existance of God. I can't seem to come to as decisive of a conclusion as you have. I respect your decision but you must admit that the answer is not as obvious as you are trying to make it. "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do." Ben Franklin
  13. Does it require authorization from a full session of Congress or would a congressional committee work? Say, the intelligence committee. You just have the members on pager and and a 2 hour string (or less if necessary). Rotate them to keep them from getting burned out. Special Ops guys rarely conduct direct action ops on targets of opportunity in a new theatre of operations (where combat ops are not already authorized). Nowdays, that is performed by attack aircraft or cruisemissiles. Special Ops mostly (not entirely) conducts recon and liaison at the beginning of major operations. The administration would whine but it would be possible to make it workable IMO. "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do." Ben Franklin
  14. In the intelligence community there is a saying that "when congress knows, everybody knows". They are leak central. Where do you think journalists get all of their "anonymous tips" from? Congressmen with an agenda. We need congressional oversight. Congressmen who leak classified information also need their balls crushed. A few years in the pen would serve as a nice deterrent. They could keep it timely through the use of committees. It would also allow them to find the "leakers" quicker. "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do." Ben Franklin
  15. We bombed Lybia too. They've kept their noses clean since then. That was also when we accidentally bombed the French Embassy in Lybia. The French refused to let us fly over their territory enroute to bombing Lybia. "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do." Ben Franklin
  16. Separation of church and state in the constitution is not about beliefs or about what set of principles guide government officials. There is actually no law that uses the phrase "separation of church and state". The saying is derived from this: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Therefore, as long as GWB makes no law "respecting an establishment of religion" he is fine. The fact that he is a Christian, as most of our presidents have been, and performs his job as outlined by Christian beliefs does not place him in violation of the constitution. "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do." Ben Franklin
  17. Mine was doing the same. I tamed it by stuffing the nose into the tail and psycho packing it. I haven't had any problems since. "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do." Ben Franklin
  18. [whisper] It's very quiet in here. [/whisper]
  19. She said she is not looking for a debate. Just vote and move on. It is a very simple question. "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do." Ben Franklin
  20. That's right. Listen to Kallend. The French were never badasses. "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do." Ben Franklin
  21. Wrong! Al Gore is from Tennessee! "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do." Ben Franklin
  22. Yeah, just like OJ. That'll work. "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do." Ben Franklin
  23. Dude, I just got back from Bangkok. I haven't been able to get more than 10 feet from the crapper for 2 days. Word of advice: never eat Western food in Thailand. I ate a hamburger that did me in. It was really ham. The meat was white. I'm thinking, "must be a soy burger". I eat about three or four bites then ask the waiter "WTF is this?". It was ground Pork! It tasted like "ass of pork". I ain't been right since! "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do." Ben Franklin
