"...I truly enjoy hunting for pure fun, but I never waste anything I shoot. If I shot it, I eat it. Most hunters I know don't really have the small dick syndrome. I don't know how many true outdoorsmen you encounter daily, but judging by your post not too many I presume. Most hunters I know truly love and respect nature more than some looney activist from Seattle..." _____________________________________________ Where to begin...since when does having compassion for other life forms qualify as being looney? We are all lucky to have our lives. What gives any hunter the right to deprive others of their lives? The only thing that justifies hunting is the honest fight for survival. In this day and age, with the convenience of restaurants and supermarkets, very few of us are that desparate. You say that the meat doesn't go to waste. The next time you take a walk through the meat department at the Stop n Shop, think about the amount that will be thrown away at the end of the week. Those are lives that have gone to waste. The meat supply in this country far exceeds the demand for it. Before going out and taking an innocent life, go to the store and eat what's already been killed for you. I tried to get a grip on reality, but it moved.

I repeated level 3 a total of 3 times. Seemed like jump 4 was the magic number for that level. Dont give up. After i got the stable thing down, It was smooth sailing. ________________________________________________ So you don't think there's a chance that I might end up with more jumps than my instructor and still be on level 3 I tried to get a grip on reality, but it moved.

I really think the problem is overpopulation. Sure we can all do things to cut back, but again that's not the real problem. It may have an effect, but overpopulation is what is going to eventually do us in. _____________________________________________ The sad thing is, we're going against the natural order of things by improving medical care and feeding the starving. In nature, when the population exceeds the food supply, a chunk of the species dies off, keeping that population in check. Ironically, by saving individuals, we're dooming the species as a whole. I tried to get a grip on reality, but it moved.

On that note, I'm buying a hummer. I tried to get a grip on reality, but it moved.

In that case, we shouldn't worry so much about the effects of jet fuel. The sun will do all the dirty work for us I tried to get a grip on reality, but it moved.

I do care about the environment, but I'm not worried about it. Long after we're gone, the planet will probably continue to thrive for another 10 billion years. We're only harming ourselves. If we were really concerned about that, we wouldn't be tossing ourselves out of airplanes from 13k. I'm all about having fun while we're here. Our time's almost up I tried to get a grip on reality, but it moved.

In response to Popsjumper, I didn't tumble or flip. I rotated like a helicopter blade! At least I had an arch! Well, since most of you seem to think that the wind tunnel is helpful, I'll be looking into plane tickets to Orlando after this

I appreciate the advice I tried to get a grip on reality, but it moved.

There's no wind tunnel in my area. Still, that's all I needed to hear! Thanks I tried to get a grip on reality, but it moved.

I'm about to repeat my third AFF. When my instructor released me for the fist time, I went into a violent spin. I ended up pulling 2500 ft too low. The weather has kept me on the ground for nearly a month, so I'm a little nervous about repeating the dive. The experience motivated me more than anything else, but I could use a little advice on some relaxation techniques. I would hate to make the same mistake twice I tried to get a grip on reality, but it moved.
