When I jump: Vector-3 stainless - hiprings Sabre 170 PD-174res "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

*bump* I really want to know who this person is going to be!! We are 10days into the new year an it's still not done! I nominate myself. Only because, there are to many to choose from. So it's only fair to take this burden onto myself. p.s. Totaly sarcasism at it's worst.. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

I'm never in anyones lists "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

I got this in an email this morning figured I would share with all of you. The Truth about Taxes by Anonymous Let's put tax cuts in terms everyone can understand. Suppose that every day, ten men go out for dinner. The bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this: The first four men-the poorest-would pay nothing; The fifth would pay $1: The sixth would pay $3; The seventh $7; The eighth $12; The ninth $18. The tenth man-the richest-would pay $59. That's what they decided to do. The ten men ate dinner in the restaurant every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement-until one day, the owner threw them a curve. "Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily meal by $20." So now dinner for the ten only cost $80. The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. So the first four men were unaffected. They would still eat for free. But what about the other six-the paying customers? How could they divvy up the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his "fair share?" The six men realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would end up being *paid* to eat their meal. So the restaurant owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay. And so the fifth man paid nothing, the sixth pitched in $2, the seventh paid $5, the eighth paid $9, the ninth paid $12, leaving the tenth man with a bill of $52 instead of his earlier $59. Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to eat for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings. "I only got a dollar out of the $20," declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth. "But he got $7!" "Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got seven times more than me!" "That's true!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $7 back when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!" "Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!" The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up. The next night he didn't show up for dinner, so the nine sat down and ate without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They were $52 short! And that, boys and girls, journalists and college instructors, is how the tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up at the table anymore. Unfortunately, Liberals cannot grasp this straight-forward logic! "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

I've read this whole thread and I find some things I can agree and others I disagree with. Very nice well writen debate. I for one am not that terribly worried about money. I shall continue to support my goverment as much as I can. Even though I don't always agree with the desicions they make, policies they put into force or the way they deem it nessicary to spend "my money". I posted this a couple of months ago on the Iraq deal, this was before the actual inspectors were in Iraq an doing their jobs. Which I dont think their going to find anything. Not because Iraq doesn't have any or they destoryed them. It's because it's all move to Syria.. So now what? GW can't really say that Iraq is hiding anything. So they -GW ect.. ) will attack anyway. There is nothing we nor the UN will be able to do to stop the "war" from happening. GW is bent on replacing Hussien.. Period. The following was copied from antoher thread back in Oct. Along with Billvon's responce. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

It was deleted but I've been aroun here for awhile.. and once added up all of Nathans numbers.. didn't come close to Aggiedave or Clay.. At that time, and he's since quit being a postwhore.. I was once a Postwhore too.. *hangs head in shame* but I'm now just a Pooh-Bah I remember when Clay made it to Pooh-Bah an we're all gasping at that!! hehe those were the days.. *sigh* "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

Aggiedave is deffinetly in second place behind Clay.. No doubt about it.. Nathan gave them both a run for their money even racking up numbers with 2 or 3 accounts.. added up it isn't even close to Clay or Aggie.. Nice try boys..

I have to disagree Sebazz1..

PLFxpert!! They have HIJACKED YOUR THREAD!! Get back here an control these FREAKS!! Texas is where it's at baybay!! No other States offers as much as Texas.. It is also the states that had the VERY FIRST Dropzone.com "Gathering" Spaceland Nov 10th & 11th 2001 where the RW Record was set!! So read it believe it and Never Ever Forget it! "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

I have to say Nac I would never think of selling your property. That's yours. I'll get back in the air this spring maybe sooner. Right now I need to get up the motivation to drive out an get my rig packed an up to date. Thanks all for your help. I want to say I have thought of quiting skydiving. Deep down inside I can't I want that freedom you get from leaving the plane knowing your the only one in the world who can save your own life. Once you make the commitment to jump it's all on your shoulders from that moment on an no one or nothing is going to save you except for your training an gear. Keep up the stories an pm's! I've got the itch.. Have had it since July 14th 01 (first tandem) Just need to nudge it back into the air.. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

Let me start by saying "I know this has been brought up before" So don't even start to tell me "Search the forums" This is personal to me at this time so I wanted to share it. This is kinda a split off from another thread where I answered an put in a comment about not jumping. I haven't jumped from an airplane since July 20th 02` was a sit-jump with Ramon an I did ok. Ramon has other words for it Anyways, I have no real reason for not jumping except maybe money (lame) or weather wasn't always nice / condusive to jumping on a weekend when I had money and wanted to jump. I've been thinking very hard about my reasons for not jumping. I haven't lost the "want" to jump I've lost the motivation to get out to the DZ. I think the last time I was even out to Spaceland was for the JFTC benefit party. I know I have friends at the DZ ect... I really have no answers. I will get back in the air this year for sure. I dont make alot of money, just like alot of other people on these forums. It took me awhile to even purchase my rig. (big thanks to Greg B at Spaceland who let me pay him off alittle at a time) I still don't own a main. I have a loaned Sabre170. Which will soon have to find it's way to Scotland along with an Xbox an some other stuff Nacmacfeegle left with me when he went back to the mother country. No cypress either. I have no problems jumping without the cypress. I'll get one when I get back in the air. I guess I'm kinda rambling I would also like to know about storage of my rig. It's been packed since the last jump. I took the pilot chute out of the BOC so it doesn't get a memory, but what about the main? How should I do it. I know the reserve is out of date an needs a repack and airing out. I think reading about the Eloy "Gathering" made me start thinking more about not jumping. I could have made the trip. I didn't, I was afraid of not being able to jump with everyone else. GF would have been at home without me ect... I'm sure she wouldn't have cared much. Would've gotten alot of tongue lashing about going without her. She loves the skydiving community too. She doesn't jump but she supports me 110% with my jumping. Never really nagged much about going to the DZ every weekend. Money was involved also. (another lame excuse) I could have scrounged up a couple hundered for the trip. So I sit here wishing I had made the trip. I had alot of friends who showed up there. What I want to know is how long was it you've gone without a jump? Why? and What got you back into the sport? You can send me PM's if you wish. Thanks all for reading this.

Wow! I've been gone a week an there are 323 new posts an countless replies to read. This one caught my attention because is shows me how long I've been around here. I remember all these people an the others in your post. Some more memorable then others. The forums have changed alot. Most things change. I wonder how many are still around with new names. From some of the responses about you posting the PM I think spectre230 is still on the boards. Just gota figure out who he is now.. *quiz* Oh well I think we've got a great an very diverse group now too. ps. I'm a whuffo again.. haven't jumped since July 2002 "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

This all reminds me of Bill Cosby in one of his Stand Up Routines he was talking about how when his wife used to get on the kids she would use some catch phrases. "I brought you into this world and I can take you right back out of it! Then I can make another one that looks just like you!" hmmm kinda makes ya wonder now.. Maybe Bill Cosby is the prophet!
