I jumped at Williston as late as 2005. 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!!) AA #2069 ASA#33 POPS#8808 Swooo 1717

Who will the liberals hate once Obama is in power?
Tink1717 replied to JohnRich's topic in Speakers Corner
Some combination of Obama himself and congress. This liberal has already been betrayed by him, and in more ways than one. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

Is the skydiving community gay friendly?

I think her attempt to awaken the people to the danger has failed. No one cared. Not even the incoming admin. I'm also surprised that Bush hasn't perpetrated the final stage of a the coup that he was obviously planning. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

Occasionally I get a black guy/girl for a tandem student. I have never seen one of them come back. Once a female told me that there is some definite cultural pressure to not do "white things". Among my black friends, none of them seem to have the adrenaline junkie mindset. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

OK, long story short, my wife is a retired cop. Her former partner is now on the run for being a serial rapist. We think he might show up here. What kind of home defense weapon would be the best for a situation that has a very short learning curve? I haven't fired a gun in 18 years, and would want something that is very user friendly. Any suggestions? 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!!)

Let's see....( in no particular order) 1. School District of Abington TP. PA. v. Schempp/Murray v. Curlett, 1963 2. Lee v. Weisman 1992 3. Everson v. Board of Education, 330 U.S. 1 1947 4. Edwards v. Aguillard, 1987 5. Wallace v. Jaffree, 1985 6.Boerne v. Flores, 1997 That ought to keep you busy for a while. What with all that reading and stuff. You, obviously, haven't been listening to what the whack jobs on the right have been saying. As for the "anti-christian taliban", I am a PROUD member. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

Are you really that stupid?!?!?!? Jefferson's letter explains and defines what the establishment clause means. In the case of most arguments made in the Constitution we are left to interpret the meaning from the wording of the document itself, but in the case of the establishment clause, we have the words from the author explaining what he means. It doesn't get any clearer than that. You guys DON'T get to establish an x-tian taliban. Not as long as there is a Constitution. Period. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

Except when it comes to things like blowing up clinics, killing doctors, crashing airplanes into buildings, rounding up innocents and torturing them and removing the civil rights of others.

Because you don't present anything that hasn't been thoroughly been destroyed before. Repeating dead arguments doesn't make them true. OK, let's hear them. Oh, right, you don't have any.

Only the part where the author himself (Jefferson ) defined it as such. This is confirmed in both official letters, like the one to the Bey of Tripoli where he states:As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; ..." and in unofficial letters like the one where he coins the phrase "wall of separation" as in "I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State..." See http://www.loc.gov/loc/lcib/9806/danpre.html and http://www.auok.org/tripoli_treaty.htm for the full text. Also this has been upheld repeatedly by the SCOTUS. It was defined for purposes of case law in the "Lemon test" in 1971, which reads: ""First, the statute must have a secular legislative purpose; second, its principle or primary effect must be one that neither advances nor inhibits religion (citation omitted); finally, the statute must not foster "an excessive government entanglement with religion." [The "Lemon Test", from Lemon v. Kurtzman, 1971]" So, my question to is: Aren't you guys tired of being wrong? Not only wrong, but the kind of wrong that is embarrassing. The kind of wrong that only exposes an unmistakeable combination of both bias and stupidity. Doesn't that get old after a while? Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

Let's see, you think a snake talked to a woman, a 900 year old man built a boat with all the land animals on it and survived a flood that didn't happen, a guy live three days inside of a fish/whale, and that a dead guy on a stick is the saviour of the world, and yet atheists are the stupid ones?

Why do you say this? Especially the part about "...cult of Apple" and "...Jobs has some Kool-aid waiting for you..." I bought my first Mac five years ago because I was tired of getting the blue screen of death and because I spent much too much time trying, and failing, to get a video camera driver to work. I got the camera to work on the first shot and without loading any driver at all. I have never looked back. And where does it say that business needs to be done on a PC? Macs can do business just as well a PCs, although software availability is an issue. Mac is no 17% of the market share, so as sales rise, interest in software development will follow. Besides, VISTA is one of the best things that ever happened to Apple. Limit what you can do? Like what? Please explain. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

Nova's judgment day: Intelligent design on trial
Tink1717 replied to jclalor's topic in Speakers Corner
Yes it is. Been confirmed many times. The first amendment establishment clause has been defined by SCOTUS as: "First, the statute must have a secular legislative purpose; second, its principle or primary effect must be one that neither advances nor inhibits religion (citation omitted); finally, the statute must not foster "an excessive government entanglement with religion." [The "Lemon Test", from Lemon v. Kurtzman, 1971]. But you guys have never really cared about those aspects of the law that invalidate your belief system. Really, the same discovery institute that has been thoroughly and repeatedly debunked as deliberate disinformation? The same people who were so incompetent that they did not participate in the legal fight that they had been asking for for years? That Discovery Institute? Really? See above. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Even a first semester statistics student knows that statistically unlikely events happen all the time. If statistical improbability was a limiting factor, no one would ever win the lottery. Bottom line: Evolution is a scientific fact, ID is religion and is not valid on all levels. Period. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

Nova's judgment day: Intelligent design on trial
Tink1717 replied to jclalor's topic in Speakers Corner
Just the little thing about it being tested, verified and subject to critical review. That and the fact that it can be falsified. Because science isn't up for a vote. ID isn't scientific, therefore it doesn't belong in science class. ID is religion, nothing more. Religion is wrong, always has been, always will be. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.
