Okay! Everyone together now..... Get geared up! Jump out of a plane! Get geared up! Jump out of a plane! GET GEARED UP! JUMP OUT OF A PLANE! GET GEARED UP! JUMP OUT OF A PLANE!

I have a great story about how the rich only get rich through exploiting others! There is a very rich guy who owns a machine shop! He didn't graduate highschool and can only read enough to order food from a menu and even that doesn't go so well at times. He started as a poor teenager helping a shop build race engines. Eventually, he started his own shop building race engines and was making barely enough to keep his shop open for years. A little over 10 years ago he landed a contract with a company to build their engines. At the time they were only making 3 a month so it wasn't enough to really help but kept him afloat. Well, about a year ago he was making 100 engines a month for that same company and purchased 2 million dollar machines to machine the head to the engines as well as the engine blocks and now he is rich! Wait....there was no exploiting at all......only hard work..... but I thought all rich people only got rich because the explioted others or had a rich relative die or was payed off by the government.....thats so strange......I mean, he can still hardly read!

That is not a FACT!!! Both apple computers and microsoft started by young guys, one in his parents garage, that regularly attended a computer based "convention" and toyed with thier computers! In addition, how is it that when you give someone your money (remember you gave it, no one can force you to) you get a product in return there is no exploitation there! These evil rich people are the ones that make you life so easy! They are the reason you have a job! They are the reason you have things that make you life easier such as the computer you are reading this on or your washing machine or your house or appartment! They are the reason the average standard of living in america is higher that any country in the world! In addition, your own explanation makes the government the bad guy: In this scenerio it is the government who is doing the wrong not the "rich". And how does the government taking money from the rich help the poor? The poor have freedom! That means that are free to make thier own decisions and better themselves or not! I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed...that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer." ---Benjamin Franklin It is the government that is the problem! Its called welfare. Why should someone work hard and provide for themselves when they can just turn to the government and get money for doing nothing? Yea, maybe they don't get as cool as stuff as you do but guess what....they don't have to work! Seriously, when someone can get foodstamps and drive a new lexus there is a serious problem! These systems make people dependent on government and gives them no reason to provide for themselves! This is why you have 3rd and 4th generation families living on welfare. There is no reason for them to work for themselves! In addition, without the rich there is knowone to pay for healthcare! Once again it is the rich who are providing for people! And how pregidous and rediculous is it to assume that if someone has a lot of money it is only because they exploit and "game the system and such. Well, lets assume that is true and lets look at some other rich people that people like you often over look in this group. They are called politicians. They get rich by taking from you! You have no choice in the matter. They take your money through what are called taxes which you have to pay. Once again, it is the government that is the "bad guy" again. So you want to take the money from the rich people and give it to the rich people.....that sound like a great idea! Or even better, we will use your logic again: lets take from the corrupt and give it to the corrupt. Even better! Infact, lets take from the corrupt who must follow the law and give it to the corrupt who make the laws and can change them to meet thier needs or are excempt from the law because they made the law! That's the best one yet! It is these and the ideas that you express that made the depression into a great depression thanks to FDR. http://newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/FDR-s-Policies-Prolonged-Depression-5409.aspx Oh, and let me guess.....I am probably the one spewing hate when you are the one that is grouping and demonizing people with no evidence or fact......

You might want to see this thread which contains a lot more instances of such thing going on in the schools! http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3682202;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread

I've never been a big fan of battery operated skydivers. Train your mind, body, EYES to understand and react...the gizmos are wonderful back-ups. Never depend on electronic devices...never know when a nuke going off nearby will EM wave yer stuff! this is what I was taught. Not to long ago there was a guy with about 60-70 jumps that pulled incredibly low.....was close to having his AAD activate. He had been jumping with only an audible so he just kept waiting and waiting for it to sound off. He had changed the altitude it went off at for that particular jump and in his rush didn't set it right. Needless to say the DZO took it way from him so he would have to get an altimeter and use it. No one had noticed he had been jumping without an altimeter on his wrist either. Anyways, the DZO chose that as an opportunity to make a point to the low jump number people like me! It is obviously a great tool but you should never become so reliant you are like a robot waiting for it to beep.

My personal favorite is "Joshua loves the little children".....and remember, "red, yellow, black, or white, all are equal in my sight..." Also, I want to thank all those who have pledge to be a service to me as well as those who have pledged to free 1 million skydivers from dungeons.

No amount of greasing or pressure could force me to even consider such a thing!! What about you?

I have some plans for that as well but let me back up a bit. We have to start training early. In my 0-5 program we will begin education early. Children are our greatest resource so I am setting up an early education program for children 0-5 in which they will begin learning to skydive. They will learn packing, control in a wind tunnel, and manifest to prepare them for the world of skydiving! I will be providing quality affordable early childhood education to every child! As for scores I will not totally eliminate them as they are tools that we use to make sure our skydivers are learning. It just can’t dominate. I will provide funds to the dropzones that will implement a broader range of assessments that can evaluate higher-order skills. Also, the real downfall in the no skydiver left behind program is the loss of funds. I prefer to say "No Skydiver Left Behind left the money behind". Of course how all these funds are used will be regulated by me and will be required to be payed back with interest by the dropzone at some point but now we must focus on fixing the problems and jumpstarting the education programs!

Yes, there will be no grounding panels either but there will be an "end of jumping" counceling offered. Also, if DZO do not following the government guidelines thier license will be taken. Also, DZO will be required to provide councellors for newbies and trainers of the newbies that can come to their homes and help them prepare for their training. Now if my mother wanted to jump but needed a reserve no reserve would be provided to her....but I would pay for one for her out of my own money. DZO's need to do what is best for the society not for the skydiver! I know some states already have a public jumping program and are rationing and even paying for some to jump without parachutes so they aren't a burdan anymore.....there will be no rationing!

I am open to debate! We need to discuss all sides of the issue in an open forum....but, but....I don't want the folks who created the mess doing a lot of talking..... I want them to just get out of the way .... I want you to argue with him and get in his face. I will hit back twice as hard! It is wholly inappropriate for DZO's to misslead skydivers on any subject. If this continues you will be removed from the public jumping system and any stimulus funds will be removed as well!

The real problem is that all this opposition is really just astroturf put together by dropzone.com! The last time I saw these kinds of people dressed in jumpsuits was a year ago at a boogie. If we don't keep a close eye things could turn violent!

Great News! I began discussion of the preventive detention center with the president of the United States and he is considering it! http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/21/us/politics/21obama.html

Yes! beer and soda will be taxed as the high amount of calories can increase the weight of people and in order to reduce carbon emissions and reduce healthcare costs these items will be highly taxed in order to reduce their use. Fat people cause global warming. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article2387203.ece http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/28/dining/28salt.html

Well, if we had a public healthcare system then I would have my meds.....right? Just as long as we keep taxing those wealthy numberist for 56% of thier jump then I can jump and get my meds and we will finally have the power back from the DZO's and manufacturers!

First I want to thank Ion01 for being here and.......(correct response is projected to the telepromter)............... Why yes I do! I have a stimulus plan that will keep the number of new students from dropping below 8.5%. I will be giving $1 million dollars to each dropzone but it can only be spent in ways that I have approved. Ultimately the money will have to be repayed to me, with interest of course. This will help springboard the interest in skydiving and bring more students to the dropzone. PETA will also be recieving 1 billion dollars. Already, I have prevented over 1,000 students from dropping out of the training program. Being female you will be interested to know that I will be giving additional money to the dropzones with more females in them or with lower jump number skydivers to help the minorities and to fight descrimination! I am also not going to allow people to go to dropzones that are not in their district. Everyone will have to go to the nearest dropzone. This will keep the evil rich skydivers from going to the nicer dropzones with the large turbo prop aircraft and will help make all dropzones equal.

You know....in a way I'm standing above the skydiving community, above - above the whuffo's, I'm sort of god.

Yes! I am the first low jump number person with a main that matches my RC plane to reach such authority! Only now am I proud of the skydiving community!

Do you have a permit for that beer? The USPA and FAA does not garantee the right to drink beer. All beer will need to be registered with the government and if you don't register it by tomorrow all your beer will be confiscated! This is necessary to ensure the safety of everyone. We must do whats best for the skydiving community not the individual! Because you haven't violated the rule of not jumping while intoxicated but you might, I will be setting up a preventive detainment prison for those deemed to unsafe but cannot be tried in court.

The rules of the FAA and USPA are negative rules and are not as far reaching as is necessary. This is why the FAA regulates the packing of the reserve. Of course this does not technically step out of the bounds of regulating aircraft operation as parachutes often require the use of aircraft in thier operation so, therefore, they are remaining within their bounds of only regulating aircraft opertions even though they regulate the reserve re-pack and riggers. These bounds will need to be redefined, however, to allow the fundamentally transformed USPA and FAA to actually have the authority necessary to ensure the safety of all skydivers.

I will have you investigated to ensure you haven't violated any USPA rules!

Technically, they only regulate the operations involving the aircraft. The success of the FAA must be brought over to skydiving through the Whuffo Safety Force. They will be just as well funded as the FAA.

The government does so well we should get them involved in skydiving! Obama has brought great change and revolution policies to the country and I think we should apply the same ideals to the dropzones. We can't continue to allow DZO's and rig and chute manufactures' greed to control the industry! The have killed 30 people and injuryed over 800 in 2008 among USPA holders alone! Some claim the USPA was established to keep the government out because private industry can do it better. Well, look where its got you! 30 dead and 800 injured in one! How’s USPA working for you?! How’s USPA working for you?! We need to fundamentally transform skydiving! The USPA was established, yes to keep government out, so they could control the community without hindrance! The only way we can stop this trend and put an end to the greed and the stealing is with government! We will not allow you to go back to skydiving like you always have. You will have to work hard. Everyone must do their fair share! There will be equal pay for equal work. No longer shall the skygods rule the dropzones and take all the money. They continue to lord their experience and power over the lower jump number instructor and the community of skydivers. We need social justice! A cap on what the DZO's can make shall be put in place so we can return the wealth to its rightful owner. They can't be allowed to just take and take from us and the community! They are no better than you and therefore should not make more! To long have they taken from you! We will establish a public jumping plan. There are thousands of people who want to jump but don't have enough to pay for it. If you chose not to participate in this plan you will be fined 1,600 dollars a year. You can keep your current jumping plan of course. I never said you would have to give that up and I have never been for a single payer jumping system (even though I have said that in the past). In this way we will return the wealth to its rightful owners. Everyone must do their fair share! This will lower the cost of jumping and will allow everyone to jump. This will not apply to whuffo's (although current whuffo's will be made skydivers). We will establish a cap and trade system which will reduce carbon emissions and reduce our dependence on oil and petroleum products. All use of oil, petroleum, and energy will be taxed and the cost passed on to the consumer but we will save the planet! They cannot continue to pollute our earth with their aircraft and petroleum based products they use in their zero-p fabrics and strong rigs! They can't continue to posion the people with less jumps. They purposefully put their waste in the corner where the less experienced jumpers are with their older gear! We must take over Performance Designs and Mirage because they are too large to fail! We will give it back to the people by giving the investments to the government and unions! If they fail the whole skydiving community would fall and we can't allow that to happen! We will establish a cash for rags program where you can turn in your old gear for cash and get newer gear! This will reduce the amount of injuries and deaths per year due to old, out-dated, and unmaintained gear. Yes, it will cost the government a lot but can you put a price on someone life? You just want to kill them don't you! Also, we need to "make nice" with skyride. They have been revolutionary in their community policys. If you haven't been there then you don't know how good they have it! And when they began to revolutionize and change the system the private dropzone owners and USPA tried to stop them! They didn't care about what was best for the people like skyride! They just wanted to continue to take from society! The video, radio and jump board shall be taken away from the DZO's and given to the low jump number skydivers and students in order to give the power back to the people and minorities! The DZO's have had control too long and let greed and favoritism rule! The low jump number skydivers will students will bring balance and fairness to the system. We will bring you in to help make policies! You students will help shape the dropzone and how it operates! In my first term I have stopped students from having to jump without AADs! I ordered all grounded jumpers freed! We will perform gear checks on whuffo's! Skydivers have been arrogant and whuffo's haven't like skydivers. I will bridge the gap between whuffo's and skydivers. We must all work together as this is not a dropzone problem but a global problem! I have not been proud to be a skydiver until now! We will establish a whuffo safety force as we cannot continue to rely on the DZ safety officers to keep us safe. It will be voluntary but if you want to get off student status you will have to serve. If you serve longer than required you will get free jumps. If you see or hear any false or "fishy" information regarding the public jumping program please PM it to me. I won't keep track of where they come from, I just want to know what is being said. (I will track anyone who looks at this post and visits any sites run by me. Also, I have emergency power to shut down dropzone.com for emergency reasons to keep you safe.) I have released a new report on who may be a threat to your safety. Anyone who is a swooper or wears a Brian Germain shirt or bumpersticker may recruit others and become violent. Anyone who thinks we don’t follow USPA rules or are too big may be a threat. These people may recruit tandem instructors as well for their experience. I have appointed Judge Meyers ("The other alternative is for government to ban skydiving as a sport and to limit skydiving to the Canadian military, where safety rules are strictly observed.") as an advisor and Cheong (skydiving "is too dangerous a recreational activity to be made available to the people.") I will also be funding PETA to help us form our policies and to conduct the census. http://blog.peta.org.uk/2008/skydiving-dogs-what-next-flying-pigs I will be giving a speech to all whuffo’s and will have an worksheet for them to fill out regarding what they can do to help me reach my goals. Schools will also be showing videos such as the following to whuffo’s: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YsJxC485CI&feature=player_embedded This is what you wanted! This is change! This is what you voted for! If you don't agree with these things it’s because you are against me and want me to fail. Its because I have low jump number and you have high jump numbers! You are a numberist!! Numberist!!

Notice no mention of how many people die each year. Just like in the UK they quote number of how many people are added to society each year and say they need to lower these number but they actually aren't even producing enough kids to replace themselves ones you toss in the death rate.

So.... 120,000 Deaths due to people not being GOD 43,649 deaths due to people not being perfect and making mistakes 14,986 deaths for not being perfect 3,959 deaths for not being perfect. Of course the rest of the can all fall under not being god or not being perfect as well (of course negative effects of drugs can also be do to taking a risk such as: this drug might kill me but I am going die soon anyways but it might save me as well) Yet, even after all of this, in fact, because of all of the is the life expectance has gone up to a very high number! http://daveeriqat.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/us_life_expectancy.png
