    I would imagine they'll still be available on groups.google.com. I'm not really sure though. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I was just digging around today for all of Kevin O'Connell's stories, then saw this get posted. Looks like Snuffy won. .............RIP ......rec.skydiving .......1989-2005 Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Apparently I look like Val Kilmer, Colin Farrell, or Richard Dreyfuss. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    4 (the way I drink it) - Drop a couple coffee beans in it. Warm it in a brandy snifter over hot water. Sip it, chewing the coffee beans when you get to them. It's a great winter warm ya up kinda drink. I don't set it on fire...that's just burning the alcohol off. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I have no difficulty conceiving forces and entities that do things we can't really understand fully. I'm confused by the second part of your quoted text though. Are you suggesting that God doesn't want us to try to figure things out? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Agreed. People make mistakes in their line of work, regardless of what kind of work they do. If one accepts a career that involves shooting at people, they must also accept that they might someday make the mistake of shooting a wrong person. The fact that it is bound to happen on occasion doesn't make it any less of a screw-up. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Take those trend lines back 500 years, a relatively short period in the grand scheme of things. Our damage to the environment consisted of settling, logging, and mining sufficient for a low-technology population that was what, maybe a 10th the size of the current population. There were localized air quality issues from wood burning, likely insignicant on a global scale when compared with wildfires in uninhabited regions. That was about it (or at least is all that springs to my mind). So at the time we had a relatively minor impact. Think we'll ever get back to being that benign?

    Yeah, I usually work weekends at the DZ instead of in my office. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    There was a really good discussion about this not long ago here. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    So is war a built-in human tendency to preserve the species by reducing the population? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    How staunchly does China stand behind Israel? How many times in the last hundred years has China taken direct military action against an Arab nation? What economic sanctions has China pushed for in the area? How many of those countries has China prohibited trade with? Why would they hate us more for being more open to practicing Muslims?

    Actually, I'm fairly convinced that our technological progress has become significantly more ecologically friendly in the past 100 years. I'd agree, but I'd also suggest (WAG) that the population increases and amount of consumption has increased at a rate that likely negates (at best)such improvements, at least on a global scale.

    You don't think part of the Polish resentment for Germany has anything to do with an invasion and an awful lot of dead Poles? I'll agree with you that many in the world are probably envious of our way of life. You have not established in any way though that envy is cause of hatred among Muslim extremists. I envy Bill Gates. I don't hate Bill Gates. You? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Why are those the only two options? I can imagine an awful lot more than those. Let's start with "there is a God but he didn't create the universe", "there is a God and he created an evolving universe", "there isn't a God, something/someone else created the universe", etc. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

    They have their pros and cons. When dating a whuffo, skydiving gives you something that is "your's" and some time to yourself. A good thing until it's too much, and there's a near-guarantee that they'll want money and vacation time to be spent doing something else. When dating a skydiver, you get to share your passion for the sport with them, but don't get that away-fun time (unless you have another hobby they don't share), plus the odds of dz drama go up substantially, at least in part due to having to interact with each other's ex's. I'd guess that either can work, and either can fail, but the odds probably favor dating a skydiver. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Before I got my various ratings I packed for jump money. I packed a lot of rigs. Nowadays I prefer not to pack my main if I can avoid it. Someone else can use the work and I can use the relaxation. At LP last week I packed exactly once...for Gia so she could make her call. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

    You've only got two jumps and you're bragging that you've only used a packer twice??! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I can convincingly argue my point, the problem is some people are too thick to realize that's what I've done. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I stopped here: There's no substantiation for that claim. I suspect there are many reasons Muslim extremists hate us. One of the more prominent ones is likely our support of Israel. The fact that we are not predominantly Muslim probably factors in as well, and it wouldn't surprize me if there is at least a common perception that we won't let those nations maintain autonomy (i.e. we like to meddle). I imagine envy of our position, success, and freedom is a fair bit down the ladder. Blues Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
