  2. Um, in no particular order: 1) American & Allied fighters 2)shiite/sunni Iraqi sectarian fighters 3) al Quaeda in Iraq/Islamist fighters, foreign & Iraqi 4)Iraqi Baathist fighters 5) random criminals How many fatalities is each responsible for? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  3. The question I have is not how many individuals have been killed but who is responsible for the individuals who have been killed. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  4. Why is it moral for your God to murder but it is immoral for you to murder? Why is it moral to commit adultery if your God tells you to but it is immoral to commit adultery if your God does not tell you to? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  5. What about the people in the middle? Those are called democrats case in point Is this a case of aggressive ignorance? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  6. I AM NOT ASKING YOU TO DEFEND YOUR BIBLE OR YOUR GOD. I AM ASKING YOU TO EXPLAIN WHY YOU ACCEPT YOUR GOD GIVEN YOUR GOD CREATED YOU UNABLE TO DO GOOD BUT ABLE TO DO BAD, GIVEN YOUR GOD CREATED YOU UNABLE TO LIVE BY THE MORAL STANDARDS OF YOUR GOD, ETC... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  7. Ummm........ Because He's God... Ummm........ So your God didn't make us just like your God because "He's God". Good answer! "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  8. I am not asking you to quote passages from your Bible ... I am asking you to explain why you accept a God that created you unable to do good but able to do bad, why you accept a God that created you unable to meet the standard of moral law of your God, etc... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  9. If God made you up to His standards, you’d be just like God. Why didn't your God make us just like your God (and thus up to your God's standards)? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  10. You believe that we are not responsible for anything we do that is good but we are responsible for everything we do that is bad and you believe that your God created us unable to meet the standard of moral law on purpose ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  11. I know a few ignorant people that constantly use the phrase, "now that is real", after making an ignorant statement. I am not sure whether to laugh or cry ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  12. Why? What do these have to do with morals? Should we honor our parents regardless if they are honorable? Why? What does this have to do with morals? (Is it wrong to desire the relationship another has with God?) "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  13. What about the people in the middle? they are too busy eating pancakes or chocolate chip Eggos They better be chocolate chip pancakes ... otherwise you will burn for eternity in a toaster! "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  14. What about the people in the middle? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  15. Some people believe that stupid people are aggressive because they are frustrated and unable to express their frustration by other means. However, it is difficult to explain to stupid people that being stupid and aggressive is a regressive combination and not a progressive combination and thus they should express their frustration by other means because they are too stupid. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  16. I knew it ... I've been close to killing someone over a chocolate chip Eggo. The chocolate chip Eggo is the only real Eggo! "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  17. Would requiring a person to have a minimum number of posts before being able to post a new thread help to limit trolling? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  18. Who or what created God? When did God create us? Why did God create us? If God created us ... why did he not create us able to handle any situation, able to do anything and everything necessary to look after ourselves, etc...? If God created us ... why did he not create us able to provide for ourselves? (If God has more then enough for all our needs and is deeply compassionate and extravagantly generous ... why do so many people lack food, water, shelter, etc....?) "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  19. A car speedometer is inaccurate (due to tire size, tire inflation, etc...). Cops can and (infrequently) will issue speeding tickets of 5mph or less but judges can and (frequently) will dismiss speeding tickets of 5mph or less. However, cops (and judges) know that most people do not contest speeding tickets. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  20. RMFP! There are many factors that affect opening speed, thus a low aspect-ratio canopy can be made to open very quickly. Ever seen a cut-out slider on a reserve canopy or a mesh base slider? I understand that there are many factors. That is why I am asking. Why not a smaller or larger aspect ratio with nose modifications, slider modifications, etc... In other words, canopy manufactures must have weighed out the pros and the cons of each combination and then determined the combination that provided the maximum amount of pros (with each pro being weighted accordingly) with the minimum amount of cons (with each con being weighted accordingly). I would be glad to do my own research ... can you give me a good place to start? Thanks. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  21. Thanks for the pictures. Wow, just wow, this is my dream. Someday, someday ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  22. Why are reserves ~2.1 (why not larger for quicker inflation)? How does higher aspect ratio affect flight characteristics (stall, recovery arc, landing, etc...)? Does increasing the aspect ratio of a canopy decrease the opening consistency thus resulting in a higher chance of a malfunction? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Get off the internet and make me a sandwich! "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  24. Initial impression ... if all other attributes are the same, the canopy with the higher aspect ratio will inflate quicker because both canopies will have the same sq. ft. of bottom skin for inflation but the canopy with the higher aspect ratio will have more sq. ft. of nose for inflation. Does this make sense? Edit: However, I have read that the end cells on canopies with higher aspect ratios inflate slower. I guess I have some more reading to do. "That looks dangerous."

  25. FLARE! "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
