Note: Reasons do not necessarily equal justification. As I said in my post to Amazon, I'm not saying the Iranians are innocent of wrong-doing, but neither are we. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Perhaps they'd prefer we re-use things as commonly necessary as shopping bags. God forbid someone prefer that we actually conserve natural resources (petroleum OR timber) when we could manufacture and sell products that we use once and dispose.

What do you consider Libertarians, left or right? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Oh yeah... here we go.. its all America's fault again....We supported the Shah Even still THEY broke all international codes of diplomacy when they attacked and took over our embassy... and took our people hostage.....realllly bad form for their "students" to do that. But on the flip side... I wonder if they still would have done it if they knew that millions of thier fellow countrymen would die as a fairly direct result of their actions. I'm not sure what you're arguing. I didn't say the Iranians were justified in taking those hostages, I merely said they had a compelling reason. I could have a compelling reason to murder someone, but it wouldn't make me any less guilty. What I'm sick of on this topic is everyone saying that we were/are innocent. We weren't then, and with your background, you know as well as I do that we aren't now. We're fucking with them too. The fact that we have superior military and economic capability doesn't make us any more in the right, just more capable of pressing our side of the issue...just like back then. Do you honestly think our current position in Iraq had/has nothing to do with Iran? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

If there's any more drama, you guys are going to make me have to start taking medication. "Start?" You obviously haven't been paying enough attention. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I don't recall the USS Vincennes needing any air support while in Iranian waters. We targeted and killed how many civilians that time? Of course our current fucktard's dad had the best quote on that one, "I will never apologize for the United States of America; I don't care what the facts are." Too bad the Shrub didn't get some of his father's good traits to go with the bad. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

The US invaded which other countries Embassy and took hostages in ANY conflict??????? THe Iranians through Hezbollah have attacked the US repeatedly and killed how many Americans? The Iranians have attacked Israel over and over....thru their shiite muslim stooges...YUP. sounds like such a wonderful peacel oving country. It seems to me the Iranians had a compelling reason to hate the US. What triggered that whole embassy hostage thing? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Like we have any room to talk on that point. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I'm with you on this one, and absolutely positive Iran is reacting to more than just what we see in the press. Anyone who doesn't think we're pushing all sorts of buttons under the radar is probably suffering from terminal naivete. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I am as impressed as I can be...from here. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

The coolest hybrids I've done have been kind of along those lines. 4-way base, sits & bellies. Bellies docked on the base sit's hands, sits on those bellie's feet, bellies on those sit's hands, etc...spiralling up and out from the center like multi-level weedwhackers. I'll now only belly fly on a hybrid if I actually get to fly, be it to a tough slot or between points. There aren't many more boring skydives than "Build a 4 way & hold it while some other people hang off you & have fun" Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I never have and doubt it will ever come up. I suppose I would if she asked me to because it was painful and she couldn't reach it, e.g. mid-back, but otherwise I'd expect her to take care of it herself. I'm pretty sure she feels the same way.

I'm just big-boned dammit! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I'm thinking you didn't get it. Get ride of the preserves, marmalade, and baguette references though (as above), and that's kinda hot. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Pretty nice skydive. The end of Danny's freefall was a bit ominous though...I'm guessing some discussion ensued over that part. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I think some fake boobies are very nice and some are kinda gross. It totally depends on how they're done. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I guess I'll delete that other thread. Edit to add Clint, just because he said he's no longer warning people. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Would you like a second opinion? Independent verification...It's gooooood. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Jeannie is lying. There is nothing to do besides jump. The weather's terrible, the skydive's suck, the beer is warm, and there are too many damn Canadians. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I'm planning on the 23rd or 24th ... the LONG version just got LONGER! Can you actually save me and my trailer a spot this year if I promise to get there on Monday? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Don't listen to her. The weather's terrible, the skydives suck, the beer is warm, and there are too many damn Canadians. Repeat as necessary. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

While I hope Larry's voice on controlling patterns and reducing collisions is heeded, I hope he doesn't intend to simply convince other DZO's to ban turns >180. It's entirely possible that others could modify their infrastructure and procedures to separately accomodate both traditional and high-performance patterns. If another DZ can pull that off safely, I'd applaud them regardless of the economics (e.g. attracting a larger staff as a result). Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"
