That all depends on your church attendance. do you go to church every sunday morning to official forgivenness for your sins. I guess anyone who is out at the DZ nice and early on Sunday would be immediately suspect... especially after sinning after the beer light came on Saturday night. Uh, I go to church. I'm not a Catholic though. So I may still be in trouble.

I'm scared. I rarely break too many laws, and I'm still scared...

LOL You are just trying to get in trouble - So you can have a spanking. I've always been on the giving end, but it is time for a vacation

Well, I read every post in this thread, didn't I? I'll leave it up to the jury... Edited to add: I mean every thread in this post...I have no chance of surviving now..

You had every opportunity to stop reading any time you wanted. Who's the dumb@&&....wait, is that a PA? Nevermind. Actually, it was a good question, so I don't think so.... WHAT? No. A good question is along the lines of . . . What is the answer to the universe and everything? That - is a good question - " Do know it all Bitches really know it all?" doesn't even rate an honerable mention - We should feel lucky that rebecca took time out of her day to even respond to such mundaneness. The "good question" was the one about me being a dumb ass...

I just read every thread in this post... I WANT MY LIFE BACK!!!!!!

The fact that we can militarily or economically cripple any nation is a pretty good indication that we are the greatest. So a schoolyard bully is the greatest student? Fancy that. Vale If we keep racking up debt at the current rate, we won't be an economic bully much longer. $8.3 Trillion and rising fast. I personally find this frightening. In your opinion, what would be the best way to stop the growing deficit?

Tony, You are correct. My intention was never to lessen the achievements of any country. If I could change the word "greatest", to one of the greatest, I would. Unfortunately my pride, passion and patriotism are stronger than my ability to be politically correct.

we ARE all created equal and we SHOULD all have the same opporotunity to succed and prosper, just like we cant choose what color we are born as, we cant choose at what lattitude and longitude we are born, why should that become a factor in our ability to live life to the fullest. Ok carry on now Exactly! We ARE all created equal. Unfortunately, there are those who live in places that do not facilitate freedom, or the right to rise above that which is imposed upon them by their "leaders". We don't control the world, but we do have the power to control this country and make it a place for those who wish to share in our freedoms, to do so. Do you realize how awesome that is?

If taking pride in America, my country, and presumably yours is politically incorrect, so be it. If endeavoring to stay a great nation, working to correct issues, and build a stronger future for our children lables me, by you as being "hell-bent on alienating us from the rest of the world", you're wrong. America wouldn't be what it is today without the help and blood of others. We are going to "politically correct" ourselves back into the stoneage. If you don't have pride in this country, a deep pride which will allow you to shout from the mountain tops how you feel, regardless of what others think, I suggest you start working right now to change it. You, as an American (again I'm making the assumption) have the power to change it.

I'm not going to go sideways in this thread because of your indignation over the fact that I have a lot of pride in my country. The history, the people, and their actions make a country what it is. There's probably very few people that post here that's ancestors did not have a hand in building this country. The name "America" brings to mind, and heart FREEDOM, and OPPORTUNITY. Two things that have been sought after for hundreds of years, and are still sought after today. An ideal that many have given their lives for, and will continue to do so. A country built by diverse peoples from all over the earth. A country which allows us to realize our dreams, the only limitations being ones we impose on ourselves.

Tim you bastard, where have you been? I've looked for you every weekend for a while now since New Years. Let me know what days you're jumping...

That line of mine isn't a secret. I do believe that America is the greatest country on this Earth. If my belief offends you, it's proof that a lot of people look for anything, no matter how small to feel offended. You're aloud to laugh, feel offended, or do anything you like, in this country anyway...

I knew when I wrote that line that those on here from other countries may take offense, but it was in no way meant to be offensive. As citizens of the US, we need to believe that our country is, or has the potential to be the greatest. If not, we'll never do what's necessary to achieve that status. It's probably also good to look at what the word "greatest" entails. I have no hate for any other country. If you guys want to be the best, you'll do what ever is necessary to make that happen too. As a matter of fact, both your and my country have worked together to become what we are today. (now there's probably others on here who are going to really feed off of that last line) My entire post is about speaking with one voice. In order to do this we have to stop letting certain "issues" cloud our minds causing us to concentrate on singulars. Example- I voted for them because they were against Abortion, or I voted for them because they were for gay marriage. I know that we follow what is important to each of us personally, but there has to be a bigger picture. A little give on each side to turn this ship around. Edited to add: I'll tell you what I believe to be the number one issue. We're running out of oil. Who ever controls the oil, controls the world. Religion, Race, and Sexual preference issues are used as smoke screens to take away from what we should really be paying attention to.

Politics? Becoming ruthless. Used to be ex-Presidents would stay quiet when they were out of office. That has gone away. I do not see it becoming more civil. I guess that I didn't correctly communicate exactly what I'm looking for. While we are all taking extremely hard stances on our beliefs, I think we've taken our eye off the ball. We're more concerned with "besting" each other so that our side wins, than we are with actually facilitating a future which will keep America the greatest country on this Earth. The old saying "We have met the enemy, and it is us" comes to mind.

Hell yes! I have tile and hard wood floors. The transition is a real bitch, but you can get some air going from the wood to the tile over the rounded wood bump. Going from tile to wood has been known to cause a mild concussion though. Hypothetically speaking that is

If I knew in high school what I know now, I'd probably be in prison. I believe experiences and knowledge are a trial and error thing that you're dealt as you mature (hopefully). I wouldn't change one day of my past, the bad or the good. I'm happy with who I am, and I've discovered that most material things just don't mean squat. They won't make you happy. If I were forced to go back and do it different, I would have stayed till 20 years hit in the military, and I would have started skydiving when I was 16.

I'm with ya! I only got four jumps in this morning (Saturday), and my hands did get a little cold. I wonder why we're being tortured like this?

Thanks! I'll be the blonde guy with the lemon and purple Triathlon canopy. See you in the near future...

Welcome! But stay away from Speakers Corner, they stone to death Christians over there

Does LW require an AAD? If so, I'm cooked...

I'll be in Miami and will try and stop by on my way back Thursday...

See ya next week!

Is the Lake Whales DZ right off of 27 & 60? I was driving by there the other day and thought I saw a jump plane taking off in the distance...
