  1. You do realize that Optimus Prime is a gun and a car! "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  2. One that only wants to do just one thing ... Just remember to have fun (by choosing those disciplines you enjoy) and be safe (by knowing and understanding the risks associated with the disciplines you choose). Edit: To clarify that you can choose more than one discipline. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  3. He did mention something about cheating ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  4. And the word "thankfully". And plenty of other things ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  5. How do we know that the T-Shirt wouldn't transform into a gun? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  6. They're one hell of a lot more prone to it than non BASE jumpers! Okay, maybe "prone" is a bad word choice, but it's certainly an additional danger that BASE jumpers face which is not a problem with traditional skydiving. In that respect, it's a true statement. Except the author did use the word prone and didn't compare it to skydiving. In that respect, it's a false statement (the whole article is littered with false statements). "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  7. I think the author should do some more research and ... STFU! Other than the word "thankfully", which implies a judgement call against the activity, what else is wrong with that BASE synopsis? B.A.S.E. jumpers aren't prone (having a tendency or inclination : being likely) to winds blowing them back into the structure from which they jumped. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  8. I sent the author a message: "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  9. I think the author should do some more research and ... STFU! "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  10. You've already stated that you don't believe there is anything wrong with cheating so what is stopping you ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  11. I've said it before and I'll say it again ... The pressure to conform exists at the macro and micro levels. I'm guessing that they're just joking around but if they're being serious, tell them to stop drinking Hateraide. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  12. Blowing out of proportion? Those scarfs are like guns, when someone has one they're driven to commit violent acts ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  13. Put on that scarf, drink a Dunkin Donuts coffee, and the next thing you know you'll be blowing up a Starbucks or Dunn Brothers ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  14. Those people are kept out of politics by other politicians, interest groups, etc... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  15. Or dumb enough ... all a matter of perspective. Well, if I had to choose between you and the founding fathers for wisdom, I think they have it locked up. As always, you disguise a personal attack and fail to comment on the topic ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  16. Or dumb enough ... all a matter of perspective. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  17. We aren't talking about opening an operation in another country though ... why should it be as difficult to open an operation in America as opening an operation in Mexico for an American citizen? So you agree that the ability to communicate depends on speaking the same language. Do you have the details of the study? Do you have more studies that concluded the same thing? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  18. They do have to have a translator standing by on the phone to describe the form. Still a loss ... They do have to prosecute the guy for whatever he did do because of a communication issue. Still a loss ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  19. Insular, adapt easily to change, competitive on the world scene ... those are based more on culture, government, religion, etc... not language. Once again, those are based more on culture, government, religion, etc... not language. Really? This says more about you than about people who are monolingual. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  20. See my corrected post. Either way, a single language should be chosen because multiple languages will hamper society. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  21. You've convinced me. We need an official language in the US. Considering Spanish is the most commonly spoken language in the world, in the name of maximum efficiency, we should select Spanish. ¡Viva la Español! I would prefer English (since the Declaration of Independence and Constitution are written in English). However, it would be better to choose the most common language in the world than the most convenient language. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  22. You don't believe it wastes any resources for the government to have to print material, hire employees, etc... in multiple languages verse a single language? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  23. They are American restaurants that serve German, Italian, Mexican, French, Chinese, etc.. food. I think you are missing the point. A multilingual society is a step backwards ... it causes communication issues and wastes resources. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  24. Is the bakery located in Cuba? No. Then it isn't a Cuban bakery. As far as I'm concerned, a multilingual society is a step backwards ... it causes communication issues and wastes resources. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
