  1. Yeah you're a handsome devil all right..........took the picture off of there....I get on here a lot and rant and rave in the speakers corner. Looked for a b.s. pic (not that your b.s.) Came across your website on vigils......and the rest is obvious.....my bad. ....now I am the crazy kook of the forum! LOL....oh well.....I like being the crazy political guy. Sorry for posing brotha! Johnny Skydive!
  2. Glad someone went there before I had too! Thanks!!!! Johnny Skydive!
  3. Yeah, thats where I got the address! I jumped at a dz in Decatur, TX when I was in the Army stationed at Ft. Sill....bought some stuff from him while I was there. Good guy!! Who's Team vibe? Johnny Skydive!
  4. Storrie Parachute Works Inc 209 West Hickory Street, Denton, TX 76201 (940) 484-2222 (800) 928-0157 (toll-free) I don't think he is in Parachutist anymore....maybe I am wrong. Johnny Skydive!
  5. Wow....I've got to post here.... My Grandmothers name is Oppie. Johnny Skydive!
  6. Wow, and I thought I spent a lot on skydiving....around 8%! Not so with most saying 25% +! Johnny Skydive!
  7. No, sounds like this guy either took the class and chickened out....or knows someone who took the class. I did static line.....if you made it even to arch 10.....youd be around 2000 feet or less from 3000.....he then states his cute now comes out into a big ball of mess (again this is at 10...not 17) which he pumps on his straps?? while his flares??? are ten feet above him....ten feet huh?! Flares....what the hell are flares....toggels right?! anyway....this is the point that after pumping on the straps the cute seems to be in a line twist??? kicks out of it.......after 17 or so spins.....???? all of this from 2000 ft or less?! and then a big dud landing with no flare? yeah i dont think he'd have gotten up and walked away so eaisly. Like I said....he obviously knows a little about a first jump....either his friend told him about his jump and he spun this story off....or he took the FJC and chickened out and made this story up as to why he wont go again....I personally think it's the first scenario....because even with a FJC i think you'd know more than this guy!!!! Johnny Skydive!
  8. "No one died when Clinton lied".....Amen! Johnny Skydive!
  9. Since this is obviously what happens here at home. People collecting this whopping paycheck whilst sitting at home and doing nothing! Johnny Skydive!
  10. The Dz I used to jump at, learned to jump at, had a couple of "big boy" rigs....and the biggest canopy he had was a PD 360...and that was a tandem canopy put in a huge Telisis rig....the heavest student he would put in that rig was 275-300....300 I only saw him do once....And the guy was pretty damn tall and not all that "fat" he was a big guy...but not a butter ball. I cannot imagine a 370 lb person being able to jump any rig out there....unless, in fact, it was a tandem rig! Johnny Skydive!
  11. Where are your jumping this weekend....I'd like to kiss pass with ya....if you like?! Johnny Skydive!
  12. ????Why'd you edit your post? Someone being harsh doesn't bother me one bit! To play in the political arena you've got to be more tough skinned than that! I don't think Sec. Rice has any chance being nominated by the Republican party. I do, however, think that Sen. Clinton has a very good chance to win the nomination, if she runs! The point of the last post was sarcasm! I do believe if thoes were the choices that a third candidate would have a very good chance! Because said candidate would be the Republican that finished second in the primaries, and probably most moderates would consider voting for this "third" party! What generalizations do you draw from that, and the rest of my posts? That I'm not a ultra conservative tight ass from Texas? Johnny Skydive!
  13. LOL....Condi Rice and Hillary Clinton....there's a good race! I was, However referring to Senator Clinton! Johnny Skydive!
  14. I didn't intend to misrepresent you and imply that you agree that the government should pay...that is my opinion...that they should....you said you thought everyone needed health care also....therefore we both agree that everyone should, indeed, have health care. We are just in disagreement as in to how to come to this result! Johnny Skydive!
  15. Glad we agree on health care! Yes I think the government should cover down on those who cannot afford health insurance....as to how exactly....I will have to study more policy and form an idea based on that! Yes, it is your money but taxes belong to the government as per the constitution...and as inflation rises so should that "magic" number....but you have got to put the bar somewhere and thats the number for now! I agree that these guys work extremely hard. But is that to say John Smith who works for the local factory or a construction company who makes 20,000 dollars a year doesn't also work his ass off also? To support his wife and three children...to try and provide food, clothing, shelter, health care, and a college education for them. But say his company doesn't have an insurance policy to pay into...is he just out of luck...should we tell him "sorry guy, go to college since you have all this time on your hands since you don't work your ass off. And pay for this out of your own pocket!"? Hunting is one of the arguments for gun ownership...as well as protecting ones self. I said I hunt AND own a handgun for protection. If you need a weapon by all means go and buy one...but be willing to wait for the screening that this should take. If you need that gun now: right now, no wait then you probably shouldn't be buying one in the first place (not you....joe blow criminal who wants to go down the road and rob a bank with said handgun) this is the scenario we need to be putting policy into place for. Yes he can go and break into a gun shop and steal one....hopefully he will be caught in the process. But lets not let him purchase one legally! Again a more stringent screening process is needed! No, I am for any company or corporation who provides jobs and services for the American people. Small businesses should be given tax incentives... if you provide a service to the community, employ workers in this community....Then the community (government at the local, state and federal level) should do everything in its power to make sure you are afforded the opportunity. I think that rual americans (i was born and raised in Hickory, North Carolina) are for the most part mistaken for who they should support. They only see one or two issues. Gun's are a big issue in the south. They republican party has the south scared out of it's wits that the nasty democrats are going to kill their babies and take away their guns and try and turn their children into homosexual's. These are the tactics that most republican politicians and political ads use! And it's not control its called governing....we do not live in an anarchist society where people can live by their own rules. We have to do whats right for everyone involved....and I am sure that if you make 200,000 dollars a year you aren't going to miss that money as much as 40,000 dollars average joe is going to miss his 3,000 or 4,000....or it may in fact get you close to missing it as much as he does! Those other 30 states are the ones that mostly targeted with these "scary democrats are coming" political ads....and because of huge corporations(that want to pay no taxes and have no government so they can get richer and charge outrageous prices for whatever they want....and put the poverty stricken even deeper into the poor house) the republican party, who draw most of their support (and money) from these corporations, can put these ads out there...and have their politicians ranting and raving out on the stump about the horrible democrats....and scare the people, who really need us the most, into voting for people who really don't support their plight...who really don't care rather their children are covered if they get sick or hurt, weither their children go to college, weither their children are destined to fall into the same poverty stricken life that they themselves were doomed to! Johnny Skydive!
  16. Yes she would.....????? Johnny Skydive!
  17. I think we will have a woman President in the near future (2008) and I think she would do an awesome job! I think she would be fully capeble to perform the job just as good, if not better than her predecessors! Johnny Skydive!
  18. You can distribute your money however you please....your tax money however is distributed by the government. And thank God that is the way it goes....we have way too many selfish and self centered people in this country. Johnny Skydive!
  19. >You want to decide who gets health care Absolutely not....I want everyone to have health care avaliable to them! >You want to penalize me for working and actually making a living. Nope, unless you make $100,000 or so a year, then you'd keep your tax cut! However if you happen to be in the top 2% of Americans who make this then I don't really think you need yours....you make plenty of money and I think it would be nobel for you to give up the extra couple thousand a year to help fund some of the programs for the people you think don't work! >You want to take away my ability to defend myself. Nope, I enjoy hunting myself, also own a handgun that I keep in my home. However I don't believe that the laws are strict enough...If you need a gun now...right now and can't wait for the proper checks to be done then you probably shouldn't be buying one. We just need a more stringent screening process. >You need poor people to need your programs No, we need to protect poor people though...if they honestly want to help themselves then we should have ways to help them find jobs, send them to school, make sure they have health care, and affordable housing. There are plenty of things I'd like to see happen for Small business owners and companies who develop more jobs for our country. >You are why Bush is president. No, florida is the reason Bush is President. Even though the majority of Americans voted for him the first time around. The last election there wasn't any good candidates running against him. IMHO! Johnny Skydive!
  20. >Are those the kind of people you want running the country? Absolutely! At least then we would have a party focused on the right things for America. Health Care, Poverty, Equal Rights, The Economy, Diplomacy maybe?! Instead we have got a power hungry ego maniac for a President! Someone who is focused (as well as most of the rest of the party) with the needs of the rich...give them a tax break they surely need it!! A party concerned with the people who need help the least! Do we need programs like medicaid, wic, curbing spending....as it would seem with this administration...this party the answer is no. Let the poor get deeper in to poverty, let them suffer away with out health insurance. Spend money that we don't have.....give more tax breaks to people making over $100,00 a year. Surely they need it more! I just cannot understand why these people keep getting elected....maybe it is because they do appeal to the rich and power hungry...therefore get enough campaign funding to coerce the American people into voting for them. Or rual Americans are just to heard headed to see past gun control. I will personally never understand it! Johnny Skydive!
  21. Innocent Until Proven guilty huh....Thats all fine and dandy for Republicans when a member of that party comes up on charges. However....let the one allegations are brought against be a Democrat and they are the ones screaming for blood. They went after President Clinton's head....he was presumed guilty from the start....I think it is about time we show these people for what they really are. Corrupt! If he is found innocent...then I will be the first to apologize...I am 100% certain that will not be the case! Johnny Skydive!
  22. Well, I have been on the site several times....However I now sit in front of a computer 8 hours a day....so I just might become a "regular" on the forums!!!! Hello all!!!! Johnny Skydive!
