  1. Don't tell me what to do! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  2. Dancing before dinner? That's just wierd. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  3. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  4. For some reason I thought you lived in the boonies. Is that the same house as the one with the grey water system? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  5. Remi fishing for man-porn... SHOCKER! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  6. I can do that. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  7. If that was too complex for you, I'll just list the current law in its entirety. What part of that do you find so vague and confusing? The administration has not officially released the draft amendments, but rest assured that they will be much more complex and are only being written to avoid prosecution of personnel who were following their illegal guidance (i.e. that our prisoners do not warrant protections under the Geneva Conventions.) As soon as the Supreme Court ruled against them, there was a massive slamming shut of assholes suddenly concerned about prosecution under article (c)(3) listed above. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  8. What gave you that impression (that this funding goes toward research)? It's Protection and Advocacy funding, you know...help them through the SSI or disability bureacracy, ensure they're not discriminated against in housing or employment, stuff like that. I'd be curious to find out what percentage of users are vets. I'd bet very few, if any. If you'd like to know how the PATBI works in Washington State (the funding being cut trickles down to the states), start here. Edit to fix URL Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

  9. Go back to the link you posted (quoted below) and see what department the quoted part falls under (and note there are no cuts this year to the Department of Veterans Affairs): I absolutely agree there have been unconscionable cuts to the VA for a few years now. This just isn't one of them. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  10. I agree. "Break the Geneva Conventions and you risk prosecution for war crimes" is a clear law. "Break parts a, b, c, d, or e of the Geneva Convention and you risk prosecution for war crimes except when the person breaking the Conventions is of type x, y, or z, and the convention is d" is a bit more difficult to follow. Don't you agree? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  11. The original post was a bit misleading. The budget cut is to the Administration on Developmental Disabilities, an organization within the U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services. There is nothing to suggest that returning troops won't get full care at Bethesda or subsequent care through the VA. This just cuts a contribution to a completely non-military, non-profit advocacy group that disabled veterans could have theoretically gone to for support.

  12. The same article you cited reads: So who are we going to invade for this one, Great Britain or Pakistan? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  13. You noticed the silence too, eh? Most likely they won't comment or will come up with the normal bullshit reason why they weren't really wrong or how it's not exactly what they meant or how it still doesn't justify listening for keywords. I'll bet those people who were ready to board those planes are happy the plot was foiled by the NSA info. My complaints about the NSA program involved warrantless domestic spying on citizens who are not suspected of any crimes, not spying on foreign conversations between non-citizens who are suspected of crimes. And where are you guys getting the info that the NSA's program was what brought this plan to light? I thought I read somewhere that it was a tip by a British muslim that kicked the investigation into gear. Your claims sound like dishonest grandstanding in an effort to win support for the project, when it wasn't even our intelligence community who foiled the plot. "Something good happened! Let's take credit for it!" Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  14. And you're not gonna offer him a little more? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  15. Now go price artificial knee replacements every 12 years for the rest of your expected lifespan and try to put a figure on pain and diffulty walking for most of that time. College ain't cheap either, but if you plan on working in the field, it's an investment, not a whimsical expenditure. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  16. because their daughter was an adult and signed the waiver herself. She cannot sign away the rights of her family, only her own rights. With her decision to skydive, she chose to expose her family to the possibility of loss. But for her decision to make a skydive, her family would not have suffered this loss. In signing the waiver, she presumably assumed responsibility for any lawsuits resulting from her skydive. If the family wants to sue a dead person, they should at least include their daughter, as her decision-making started the chain of events that led to her family's loss.

  17. Wasn't that the name of the guy who could make a woman orgasm telepathically in the Matrix movie series? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Dating..

    Yep...I've said for years that the reason people date is to figure out what they don't like about each other. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  19. Ally doesn't...she starts walking away before she finishes (makes it more fun to clean up). Gracie goes nuts though...as soon as she's done she starts jumping and running and kicking her back legs for a few seconds, doing a crazy dance cuz she feels so much better. (Note Gracie is, ummm, "big boned"...an english bulldog, which somehow makes it even funnier) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  20. That's at least the second time your hook-knife has made it through such a scan, if not the third (I've carried your hook-knife through security too). I noticed recently when cleaning out my normal travel bag that I took this in my carry-on to Tahoe & back. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  21. The list is reasonably long and mostly too personal to post. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  22. Ruh Roh, Raggy! "Turd burglar" was funny though! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  23. Browsing the different female 4-way teams, I'm suddenly in need of an extended skydiving vacation in Europe! Wow, there are some serious hotties on some of those teams.
  24. What's the tie between the dream and your wierd ass? She used a strap-on? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Why...

    I couldn't care less what languages he can read, I'm more interested in knowing if he's limited to driving automatic transmissions. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
