That's a wild visual. You could probably take someone's ear off really fast too. Sounds like the last Batman movie... WHY SOOOOOO SERIOUS.... I usually check one bag, I put my hook knives in my checked bag, never had TSA taken one of my carry on rig, because it isn't on there!

So you are in favor of the benefits of better health care for your employees, but only when the costs are spread around and borne by all, and not equally I may add. I am all for your right as business owner to run your business as you see fit. I would assume that most of the employment at ZHills is setup so that instructors and most staff are independent contractors receiving 1099's. I just think you would be on more solid ground with your position if you were already footing some of the bill. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Yes, that's why I support Universal Healthcare - it's all about me... I don't think it is all about you. Who doesn't like the idea of everyone having equal access to unlimited high quality health care. It sounds awesome on the surface. Many employers already improve the quality of their employees healthcare by offering health insurance at a great expense. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Sounds great except for the whole human rights & women and children thing. Maybe we should just put landmines everywhere. Works really well in ex war zones. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

You would rather them use slush funds that they have ceased during other agency business? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Full story: BBC News And your point is ..... ? JR, we all are in a position to read, newspapers and even the internet. Imagine that You permanently post sh*t links w/o taking any position. What is your idea on that link, why did you post it? Or do you just want to push even the very last hillbilly nose on it ...? Ridiculous. The only thing rediculous is your reply. If you don't like his links then why don't you exercise your right to shut up, and don't participate. His link appears to have contributed more to the conversation than your lashing out has. Your response only contributed a whole bunch of crying and whining! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Maybe for some people, but conservation doesn't have to be about the feel good vibe. I tend to look at conservation from an economic cost benefit standpoint. It is the accountant in me. I put low flush toilets and water saving faucets and showers because it is easier on my septic system which has a high dollar cost if I have to replace it. I drive home with the cruise control on 60 because I commute 100 miles a day and that saves me a few MPG compared to getting caught up in the weaving and dodging required to go 85. A few MPG saves me 100 bucks a month in fuel costs. Extra insulation = less money spent on fuel oil. I would buy and drive the Volt if it hit a price point that the gas savings was greater than the increased electric bill and the monthly car payment cost associated with the premium you are paying for the Volt when compared to a non electric. Hell most of my new staff are single, living in the city. They eat out every single night. I don't think conservation, money or resources, has much of their attention at this point.

It is an expensive yuppie car. It isn't a hippy car... hippy cars are normally crappy poluting pieces of crap, like ragged out old bugs with zero polution control. At this point it is a status symbol and a way to purchase green feel good. I really like the design, but at the current price point I would need to do way more driving and gas prices need to go way up in order to justify the cost. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Funny you mention it, because I have everyone's avatars shutoff, so I forget I even have one. Also very clever Grandma! I like how we stepped into the way back machine and headed all the way back to when you were in middle school for some good old fashion gay bashing! Nothing says I am intelligent and a quality human being quite like resorting to using peoples sexual orientation as a dig! Do you even read what you write???? I read what I write, and I can read what you write as well! The wonders of the NJ public school system. I was referring to you not having a thing for conservatives, a post you yourself just recently made. But I know you just can't miss a chance to use homosexuality as a personal attack! What is clear as day is you alluding to me being gay, and using that as one of your typical less than clever personal attacks. It wouldn't be the first time you resorted to calling or alluding to other posters as being gay, and I am sure it won't be your last judging by your apparant lack of ability to make posts that have actual content instead of your typical deragatory comments, personal attacks, cursing, and general ranting and raving. It doesn't bother me but it does paint a less than flattering picture of you Deary... low rent! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

My normal initial reaction isn't haha, it is usually oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhh!!!! Works out well because I can bow out before laughing if they end up being hurt. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Damn, and I thought you were talking about the other DP. You know the religious folks get kinky behind closed doors! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

I don't think I am her type, which is too bad really. I think I am starting to get a crush.

Hello kettle, your looking awfully black today? What is the matter, don't like a trickle of your own typical procedures? Shouldn't you be googling for anal sex toys, alluding that other posters are homosexuals, and gay bashing? All my favorite lines are the ones that you constantly use in your posts! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Conservatards have voted that out of existence in favor of GOVERNMENT FOR AND BY the plutocrats. They are the only ones doing well. and they seem to be doing a stellar job of TRICKLING upon their police state forces... very very well. More partisan nonsense and distraction. Law enforcement and correction officers unions and interest groups don't vote and lobby along party lines. They aren't pro democrat or pro republican, they are pro brotherhood. They are all for public policy that gets more employed on the streets and in jails. Look at California's three strikes laws. Who is the biggest proponent of that? The unions the represent the CA Corrections Officers. Mo people in jail, mo better. Oh yeah... TRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICKLLLLE.... KOOOOOCK BROTHERS.... rePUBIClowwwwwwwwn.... :::twitch::: DRRRIIIIIIP DRIIIIIIIIIIP. :::twitch::: Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiceeeeeeeeeee Smile. Cluelessness yet again... The partisan raving and raging of an angry old woman, again! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

More bullshit with public pensions go figure. Hopefully they go away soon, they are all underfunded, and unsustainable. Defined benefit plans are going to way of the dodo and they should! This is one example of the problem with them. The other problem is the way many are structured so that a state worker can get put into a high overtime position for three years and the whole pension gets based on that high three. It is just another way of gaming the system. Get a 401K like the rest of us instead of raping the taxpayers. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Does the DZO know that people are turning off their AAD's and jumping with customers? I reread your post and it sounds like you also ready brought it up to the responsible parties. If it was me I would bring this all up to the DZO, if he didn't give a shit I wouldn't jump there on staff and I would think long and hard before jumping there as a funjumper. I guess at this point you have few options. You can make note that you tried to have this addressed and keep jumping there , I couldn't. You can stop jumping. Or you could raise holy hell and start naming names, starting with the instructors and ending with the USPA officials who blew you off. People like that shouldn't have ratings, and shouldn't be in the sport. If this is going to make you leave the sport you might as well bring as many of the bastards with you as you can. That being said why do I think there is more to this story, everyone has an agenda! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Why does every thread need to be diluted and dumbed down with this asshole bullshit, from posters on all sides! You guys can't stay on topic. You can't get your point across without being smug deragatory pricks. You can't go more than a day without breaking in personal attacks. You can't discuss or debate a persons point with a counter argument that has substance. Instead we resort to writing peoples whole arguments off as "straw man" or "stupid" or "non sequitur". Here is a PA for all of you... stop being a bunch of assholes! Personally I am all about Rahm's little plan. The city workers are getting benefits that are paid for by the citizens. Many of those citizens couldn't even dream of the health care package that the city workers are getting, at a great expense, off of the backs of the public. They owe it to the public to keep costs down, and for their benefits to be sustainable. If city worker Fatty McD, who can recite the McDonalds dollar menu by heart, and smokes 1.5 packs a day doesn't like it than they can get off the city health insurance, and they can pay out of their own pocket for a plan of their choosing.

I would like to see Marijuna legalized and regulated on a state and local basis mainly to cut the Mexican drug cartels out of the market. If your local farm or hobbiest could grow and sell pot legally only on the local level why the hell would you buy pot from a shady drug dealer whose supply chain ends with the monsters who are killing thousands in Mexico. Or make it legal on the level of home production, like home brewing of beer and wine. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

We really need to retune our nations "war on drugs". I don't know what the perfect solution is, but it just seems crazy that we spend so much money fighting weed. -Prison system costs. -Law enforcement costs. -Strain on our state and federal court systems. -The indirect costs of throwing some ones life off track by giving them a red stain for recreational marijuana use. -Human costs in Mexico and else where. We need to tell the corrections industry and law enforcement industry to fuck off. Law enforcement and corrections is needed, but it should be guided by common sense, not what keeps the highest level of employment for these special interest groups!!! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Government waste adds up to be a significant amount. Those are 16 dollar muffins that we borrowed from future generations to purchase! Sorry for the reverse mortgage on your future Grandson, thanks for the social security and the muffins! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Ever hear the George Carlin skit about the 10 commandments? The thou shalt not kill one is just a suggestion. Just look at how many people have been killed in the name of religion! God must not have ment that one to be taken to literally. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Get a new car with a decent factory warranty. Aftermarket warranty companies profit off screwing your out of repairs. You have more leverage with a factory warranty because of the sale relationship. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

Sunroof is nice... Leather is easier to clean and wears better if you take care of it... Blue tooth? I talk with my phone on the side of my head when I need too, I don't frequently make calls. Bluetooth is just a bandaide for the fact that too many idiots have drivers licenses. Navigation, nope. The hand helds are way cheaper, easier to update, and IMHO better products. Best feature, value! Buy a used low mileage car with a CPO warranty. I won't ever buy a new car when you can get such great financing on used cars (my credit union financed my last one at 3.5%). New cars take too much of a hit right off the lot!! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
