Isn't Ron Paul (officially) a Republican? Yes. My point of contention was that he was indicating "independent voters" are actually liberals. I think they're simply voters who don't toe a party line. Otherwise, everyone who broke Republican ranks to vote for Ross Perot is a liberal. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Amen! When liberals, i.e. so called independent voter starts yelling Amen to Ron Paul, gives this conservative pause as to why. Why do you think "independent voter" means liberal? Who was the last third party candidate to garner a significant percentage of the votes? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

The interesting question is if that "conversion rate" would equal 100%. Would ALL the same crime and murders still happen but by other means? I doubt it. I'm guessing murders would remain fairly constant, but armed robberies would probably decline. The dipshit gangsta kids wouldn't have a 9 to substitute for a lack of bravado, but anyone who truly wanted to kill someone would still find a way to do so.

Sure there is. There were zero gun crimes in the 15th century and gun crime levels have increased dramatically since the middle of the 16th century. If all guns suddenly disappeared from existence, gun crimes would become a thing of the past. Note there would still be murders and other crimes that are currently committed with guns with some regularity, they'd just involve different weapons.

Why would anyone's idiocy have anything to do with Gore or Kerry? Your argument is species. In order to be a genus, one must vote for family values and fuck the middle class. So get your ballots out, markum, and phylum with your local registrar. Our kingdom needs another ruler who reigns supreme in his (and every other) domain. Life is short...vote Republicrat!

So what would you have to define the man? His atheism, his politics, his sexual peccadillos? His actions. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I'm pro-gun and I'll admit to it. I'll also admit that when more cars are available, more people die in auto accidents, and when more swimming pools are available, more people drown to death. If there were no guns or cars, there'd be no gun or auto-related deaths. I bet we'd all still find ways to kill ourselves and each other though . . . I've heard drowning isn't horribly unpleasant.

It's also ironic that in many states it's illegal to carry a firearm in a church, and she would be a criminal herself for doing so, subject to years in prison. Even though she may have saved a hundred lives. I didn't know that. In Washington, I know it's illegal for even a CCW to carry in a bar. When I used to bounce, finding a gun while engaged with someone belligerent ensured they would be stopping by the hospital on their way to jail. I have no idea a similar that law extends to churches here, but I kind of doubt it. I'm on your side in this argument, but I'm still rolling my eyes every time someone says this woman saved "hundreds of lives." At least you limited it to "may have saved a hundred lives", to which all I can say is she also may have saved a million. By the same token, the kid may have saved a hundred lives by offing himself.

And, if you don't mind my asking, what are those reasons? The same reasons that have been stated here, that Pullman is a devout atheist who is trying to teach the kids of the world that there is no Christ or that He is a false prophet. Or maybe he's just an author, hoping to make a couple books by entertaining us. Here's what I think about controversial subjects (not that you asked for it). As in any debate, consideration of alternate perspectives can do one of three things, strengthen previously held beliefs, not affect previously held beliefs, or weaken previously held beliefs. Why would a parent be concerned that the latter is what would occur if their child was exposed to opposing views? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I think you underestimate children. My daughter is now a young adult, but when she was a child, I encouraged her to explore as many different facets of religion as her curiousity led her to. She never seemed particularly confused or overwhelmed by the subject. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

The last thing we need is another religious zealout. I don't care which god our President prays to, but I sure would like him to consider his religion a relatively personal matter of reasonable perspective...not "that which defines him."

I don't see why right side is any better than left side, the pin is in the middle. The fact that the P/C is out of the air flow is definitely an advantage. This is similar to the U-206 or Beech 18 exit. I can see, however, that the crouching exit would be much easier for the student than the one cheek in one cheek out exit used for the 206 and Beech. I can see a bit of a difference between right side door and left side door, and that's when they get to practice pulls. Out of a 182 or 206, deployment is originating from the student's left side while their right hand is headed for their hip. Out of a Caravan, the deployment is originating from the right while their right hand is headed for their hip. I don't *think* this should cause a problem, but I can kind of imagine it. Could those of you who've done IAD's out of a left side door pipe in? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Personally, I believe in liberty. My religious compatriots don't feel you deserve to pursue happiness and would prefer to tell you what you can and cannot do with your own body. Unfortunately for you, there are many more of them than there are of me. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Early to mid November. We were headed out the door to make a couple of jumps Saturday when the plane developed a little problem on its way to the DZ. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Basically what he said...my instructions are pretty clear, I want whatever's salvageable should be harvested and the rest burnt to a crisp. My will states that my best friend has to get current enough to pull off a successful 4-way (he's got 5000ish jumps) and organize my ash dive. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

Yep, and short-lining an IAD student is just as easy as shortlining a S/L student. The latter sounds like a lazy instructor, which is no more or less likely in an IAD environment than any other. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Nahhh, I'm a forever Ram's fan.
