What problems are you talking about? Hard openings? Not on mine. Nice, smooth, non-slamming 800-1100 foot openings. It's the best all around canopy I've had yet.

Well after jumping a J1 Javelin, I bought a Wings as a second system. My reason at the time was that I wanted something different than the dozens of Javelins around the DZ. After my first few jumps, I was amazed by how comfortable it was. So comfortable that I gutted the Javelin and bought a second Wings. Now that I have a riggers ticket, I have a slightly different perspective. Not that there is anything deficient in the Wings, but some things that could be better. (Mostly quality control issues). BUT, when I go for my third system this fall, it will be a WIngs as well. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink.

My guess is (as a paramedic for 20+ years, I feel I can hazard a guess), that you were getting hypoxic. You stated that the plane was on jump run for longer than normal. That, and the fact that you smoke likely contributed to a hypoxic condition. Quit smoking and do aerobic exercise and see what happens. Also, I suggest you find a flight surgeon to assist in this diagnosis. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink.

Thanks. This was the guy I was looking for. I had his link and contact info before I had a computer meltdown. I was unable to retrieve it after I rebuilt my system. Many thanks.

Faith is believing what you know isn't so. - Mark Twain 1864. As I see it, there are only two sides to the debate: Those who posit that a deity exists and those who don't. Everything else is just a flavor if those two bases. The evidence favors those who do not believe. BTW, did you notice that all your references, i.e., burning bush, stone tablets, etc.. come form christian mythology? If you truly considered all the arguments why exclude those from other corners? Just thought I'd ask. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!)

Religion is the means by which deities are manifest. They are always hostile to those who are critical. The existence of a deity is dependent on the existence of religion. The two are inseparable. The fact is that religion is horseshit and so is god. Sorry if you took the hell thing personal, but when doing combat with theists, I find a quick strike is more effective than a slow defense.

Threads about god and religion have a lifespan all their own. On the NG's , it is pretty much endless. This is a good thing because I never get tired of debating it.

Yep, 24,000 of them in the last 1000 years. The vast majority (94.8%) driven, caused or exacerbated by religion. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

The burden of proof lies with believers. Believers make the claim that there is a deity, and that one must do X,Y,Z in order to please that deity. Therefore it is the duty of the believer to support his claim. The atheist, on the other hand, has a much simpler task. We only have to examine the evidence and arguments presented and then confirm or debunk the claims. The claim can also be made the absence of evidence is evidence of absence. However, this is a weak claim at best. Consider the vast amount of negative evidence that exists concerning the existence or non existence of a deity. Everything from unfulfilled prophecy to conflicting claims. Thousands of years of emerging religions, each claiming monopoly on the truth, just like their predecessors, and each failing to deliver on the claims made. Negative evidence is confirmation of absence. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink.

I did, I quit believing in sky pixies, demons, devils, angels, omens, signs and all other things that children are generally afraid of. Yes you are. You are saying that I should think like you. You are also saying that because you believe in some kind of mythological sky pixie that you are better than me. First, I don't have faith or "believe" in science. I KNOW of science. The facts are that EVERYTHING in science can be proven. All data are subject to verification and repeating. That's what proof is all about. In brief, it works like this: I do an experiment, gather the results, apply the results to the question I was testing and write up my findings. I then submit the project for critical review. The review people then proceed to probe for any and all weaknesses, any errors and any other problem with any aspect of the project. It is then either accepted or rejected. To make matters even better, there will be some researcher somewhere that will recreate the experiment and vefiy the results. In the end, you have something to KNOW rather than believe. Nothing in any religion anywhere can stand up to that kind of review. Mythology fails miserably to present a working model for understanding anything. Where is your evidence for the first cause of the universe? In what peer reviewed journal can I find it? Where is the experiment that I can repeat the supports the conclusion of first cause? Where? It's no where. It does not exist. Neither does any deity. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink.

Yes it does. The sum total of all religions is exactly zero. Wrong again, godbot. Absolute knowledge is not needed to evaluate the situation of a deity. The godbots, jesus freaks, islamists, hidus, etc... have never been correct. There is no god. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...
