Animals don't cage up other animals when they eat them. Animals don't have big factories of animals. Some animals are carnivores. We are not. Animals don't plant fields full of whatever plant they like to eat either. They eat what they can find. Unfortunately, until my plan for world domination goes into effect, there's too many humans on the planet - we have to 'mass produce' what we consume. We do it with veggies, we do it with meat. I'm not saying it's right for either, and we'll no doubt over-populate and destroy the earth... but to 'protest' that, I'd have to stop eating altogether. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Plants are a whole lot more defenseless than animals are. And they're just as much alive, and could have the same feelings that animals do. And harvesting... sheesh... have you seen a combine?! Those are just cruel. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Well that would take out half of the Bonfire and 1/4 of Speaker's Corner it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

My advice: don't do it it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

So you have this hilarious email that you're dying to forward to everyone or post on a message board. Take 3 seconds and make everyone you send it to a little happier with you. 1 - Start Wordpad (I already know you're running windows, you have wordpad) 2 - Copy and paste the hilarious content into wordpad 3 - Highlight the "> > " (including spaces) and copy that 4 - Go to the Edit menu, then Replace 5 - paste the "> > " into "Find" and leave the "replace with" box empty 6 - Click "replace all" Now copy and paste that into the new email. Trust me, it takes about 4 seconds to do. Now at least we don't have to see all the >> > >> And please, please, please... take all the other header information out. I don't really want to trace the history of that email back 3 years and scroll through tons of crap to get to it. Actually, if I have to click open (I use outlook) more than once, I just delete it... I don't bother. If you're really feeling helpful, take out some of the extra spaces and line feeds, make it look pretty again. Thanks, and happy forwarding! it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

It's not a bad reason at all, I can understand it. If there's no one at your dz that you have 'fun' jumping with, you lose a big part of the reason you jump. If you don't like being cramped up in a cessna for 30 minutes to get to 10k, it makes it a little less fun, maybe not worth your money. Not a bad reason at all. Both have kept me from jumping a few weekends. Just one more factor in what he's feeling. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Decent movie. I think there's maybe 2 movies mentioned in this thread that I haven't seen yet it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Seen Way of the Gun yet? Starsky and Hutch was pretty funny... it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

ay, prepare to be boarded! it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Nope. That's when the old "new" forums were started, the ones with a perminant logon, etc. I got on the forums at DZ.com May 23rd of 2000. At that point it had been around for a little while, the forums were cgi based and was very very simple, pretty similar to Fark in use, actually. Old Forums EDIT: "Viewing thread number 1-13" Yeah, one new thread a week... my how things have changed. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Well I'd contribute, but I think they pretty much have it covered. Do you want the gold or silver vibes? it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Do you think riding a Motorcycle is Smart to begin with? I love it...I wear a helmet. usually. (we also jump out of perfectly good airplanes) ~J Depends on what you call 'smart' ... if being smart means 'never do anything that could possibly get you hurt' you'd have a very boring life. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Can we just have Ivan hold a training session in the pub once a week "How to eliminate reposts: the ins and outs of 'Search Posts'" I have a WebEx subscription if you just want to use that. Oh, and the next training sessions can be "The Art of Clicky: Markup demystified" it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Entirely too complicated. I just copy the MP3 that I want onto my phone. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Yeah, but you'd look silly dumping your bike because you kicked a car. Those gloves can assist you in taking out a window or taking a side-view mirror clean off in one stroke, Not that I condone that kind of behavior... but.. you know. I just assume I'm invisible and everyone will try to kill me. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Are you crazy?? And ruin a perfectly fine $300 helmet??? (once the helmet takes an impact, you should replace it or get it checked out - they're design to crumple on the inside) Instead, I'll suggest a nice pair of Alpinestars GP Plus gloves - you'd be amazed at the damage carbonfiber knuckles can do Yes I have a pair, no I did not pay $150 for them. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

I've got a ton of crap on the veridian room... what do I do with it? Nothing's in english! it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

I couldn't agree more. I think wearing a helmet is a good idea, but people shouldn't be forced to - except for novice and underage riders/passengers. Just like having an AAD is a good idea, but shouldn't be mandatory - except for students. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

That's funny, because I thought "Oh Christ, GWB is going to try for a 'quick and decisive response'" it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

whats your problem? I hope nobody has any comments like that for me when I am permenantly in the sky. stupid biatch.... If you do something that someone thinks is stupid to end up there, I'm sure someone will say it. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

You're stupid, Supah Greg is awesome. The way the law is written, 'novice' rider ( < 1 year) and riders up to age 18 are required to wear a helmet. Passengers of riders that fit that description are also required to wear a helmet. Passengers under 18, regardless of the rider, are required to wear a helmet. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

You're required by law to wear a seatbelt though. Only a few states require you to wear a helmet. In Ohio, you're required to wear one for the first year of riding - which I think is about the only way to have a "good" helmet law. Of course, it's next to impossible to enforce. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Helmet thread to keep this one on track... it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Wanted to split this out of the other thread: I'm sorry for the tragic loss of your brother, I don't want you to take this personal in any way, just using your post. Does anyone have an proof of a helemt killing someone? In the case above, isn't it likely that he would have been dead instantly if he didn't have a helmet? Or is it one of those freak things that happens - like when someone isn't wearing their seatbelt and gets thrown clear of a horrific wreck. Personally, I think wearing a helmet is a good idea - just like wearing your seatbelt is a good idea. However, I hate helmet laws - I think it should be a choice. As long as you completely understand the added danger you're taking on by not wearing one. I encourage everyone I ride with to wear a helmet, especially new riders. But if you don't want to, then don't. I don't always wear mine - I do 99% of the time though. I look at it like my Cypres - hope I never use it, but it has the potential to save my life. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Tom's Diner Suzanne Vega I am sitting In the morning At the diner On the corner I am waiting At the counter For the man To pour the coffee And he fills it Only halfway And before I even argue He is looking Out the window At somebody Coming in "It is always Nice to see you" Says the man Behind the counter To the woman Who has come in She is shaking Her umbrella And I look The other way As they are kissing Their hellos I'm pretending Not to see them And Instead I pour the milk I open Up the paper There's a story Of an actor Who had died While he was drinking He was no one I had heard of And I'm turning To the horoscope And looking For the funnies When I'm feeling Someone watching me And so I raise my head There's a woman On the outside Looking inside Does she see me? No she does not Really see me Cause she sees Her own reflection And I'm trying Not to notice That she's hitching Up her skirt And while she's Straightening her stockings Her hair Is getting wet Oh, this rain It will continue Through the morning As I'm listening To the bells Of the cathedral I am thinking Of your voice... And of the midnight picnic Once upon a time Before the rain began... I finish up my coffee It's time to catch the train it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
