  2. I was one for some time.... it cost me $475.00 for the class and I did love doing it. I was going to move in to a full blown fire fighter and then ended up just moving back towards money and numbers. I have to admit that my pay is great right now and I love my job but I miss EMS work every now and again. It is a cliche but you really are impacting the world in a very uniqe way! I say do it.... if it fits you then you will love it! Blues Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

  7. I just get a kick out of what Americans think they are entitled to have..... a home, 75k+ a year, health care, etc. None of this is just given but earned and it is this idea that has put us where we are. You can blame whomever you want but the truth is it comes down to Americans thinking they deserve the world. Just look at the credit card debt! P.S. I want a crest!
  8. Jumping out of anything besides a 182... Wow..... 26 jumps and already a turbine snob Florida is great this time of year! I love Z Hills and if I did not have all my bills (mtg., car, etc.) that is where I would be.

  10. I was big in to trad and bouldering but then I found skydiving. I never thought I would love anything as much as I loved climbing but I guess I was wrong.

  11. When the administration lied to the people and the Congress, what do you expect? Your blame game is comical at best! Once again..... just the administration got it wrong.... are you F'ing kidding me? Try reading it again, and try to understand it this time. Here's a HINT from the US Senate report: "The US Administration repeatedly presented intelligence as fact when in reality it was unsubstantiated, contradicted, or even non-existent. As a result, the American people were led to believe that the threat from Iraq was much greater than actually existed.” So, not to mince words, the Bush administration lied to support its preconceived position, and a lot of people on both sides believed the lies. A lot of right wingers STILL believe the lies. Specific items taken from the report's preamble: The Committee’s report cites several conclusions in which the Administration’s public statements were NOT supported by the intelligence. They include: Ø Statements and implications by the President and Secretary of State suggesting that Iraq and al-Qa’ida had a partnership, or that Iraq had provided al-Qa’ida with weapons training, were not substantiated by the intelligence. Ø Statements by the President and the Vice President indicating that Saddam Hussein was prepared to give weapons of mass destruction to terrorist groups for attacks against the United States were contradicted by available intelligence information. Ø Statements by President Bush and Vice President Cheney regarding the postwar situation in Iraq, in terms of the political, security, and economic, did not reflect the concerns and uncertainties expressed in the intelligence products. Ø Statements by the President and Vice President prior to the October 2002 National Intelligence Estimate regarding Iraq’s chemical weapons production capability and activities did not reflect the intelligence community’s uncertainties as to whether such production was ongoing. Ø The Secretary of Defense’s statement that the Iraqi government operated underground WMD facilities that were not vulnerable to conventional airstrikes because they were underground and deeply buried was not substantiated by available intelligence information. Ø The Intelligence Community did not confirm that Muhammad Atta met an Iraqi intelligence officer in Prague in 2001 as the Vice President repeatedly claimed. Additionally, the Committee issued a report on the Intelligence Activities Relating to Iraq conducted by the Policy Counterterrorism Evaluation Group and the Office of Special Plans within the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy. The report found that the clandestine meetings between Pentagon officials and Iranians in Rome and Paris were inappropriate and mishandled from beginning to end. Deputy National Security Advisor Steve Hadley and Deputy Secretary Paul Wolfowitz failed to keep the Intelligence Community and the State Department appropriately informed about the meetings. The involvement of Manucher Ghobanifer and Michael Ledeen in the meetings was inappropriate. Potentially important information collected during the meetings was withheld from intelligence agencies by Pentagon officials. Finally, senior Defense Department officials cut short internal investigations of the meetings and failed to implement the recommendations of their own counterintelligence experts. I am no longer going to addrees the garbage you spew because you refuse to aknowledge that what I am saying is correct. It is by the way..... correct! How old are you by the way? Just curious....

  13. I suppose you forgot the other intelligence from other countries that said Iraq had WMD's, or that many Dem leaders said the same thing INCLUDING our wonderful VP elect whom said many times publicly that he was 100% positive that Iraq had WMD's and that we should invade. blah blah blah of GOP talking points” 1. There are MANY of us who at the time concluded the "intel" did not have credibility. 2. A bipartisan Senate report on pre-war intelligence on Iraq stated "The US Administration repeatedly presented intelligence as fact when in reality it was unsubstantiated, contradicted, or even non-existent. As a result, the American people were led to believe that the threat from Iraq was much greater than actually existed.” These included President Bush's statements of a partnership between Iraq and Al Qa'ida, that Saddam Hussein was preparing to give weapons of mass destruction to terrorist groups, and Iraq's capability to produce chemical weapons. No talking points above.... just fact! Oh you missed the quotes from your wonderful VP elect..... take a minute and reread then. I will wait......................................................................................... all done? Great, once again no matter who said the intel was faulty there were reps on BOTH sides that found it credible like JOE BIDEN who swore they were there and that we needed to invade and get Sadam or do you dispute that? I can give you more quotes. Maybe some quotes from other Dems.? By the way some in the GOP also said the intel may be faulty but once again you want to overlook that and blame it all on Bush and the GOP. So the word "responsibility" doesn't really mean much to you then? I do not think Bush did the greatest job either and I feel he screwed up a lot but your jaded view that he or the GOP caused all of this is insane! Thank God you get to voice these opinions and we remain a free country thanks to many Dems. & REPUBLICANS! Politics are not black and white and every one of them has an agenda. To not see that is insanity. Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

  14. I tend to agree with you.... I just think it is ironic that people want to forget that the whole thing was supported by both sides and by other countries. Biden is a joke!

  16. Why not. There were none there prior to our invasion (which, of course, was based on a tissue of lies). I suppose you forgot the other intelligence from other countries that said Iraq had WMD's, or that many Dem leaders said the same thing INCLUDING our wonderful VP elect whom said many times publicly that he was 100% positive that Iraq had WMD's and that we should invade. Oh wait... I forgot... it was only Bush and he wanted to prove a point to his daddy, or is it to bring Christianity to Iraq, blah, blah, blah, insert other BS rhetoric to say the US is bad and Republicans are evil. Fun Biden quote-> Around that time, Biden in an interview with the Huffington Post, he assessed Obama and Hillary Clinton: “The more people learn about them (Obama and Hillary) and how they handle the pressure, the more their support will evaporate.” More good stuff-> Biden on Meet the Press in 2002, discussing Saddam Hussein: “He’s a long term threat and a short term threat to our national security… “We have no choice but to eliminate the threat. This is a guy who is an extreme danger to the world.” Biden on Meet the Press in 2002: “Saddam must be dislodged from his weapons or dislodged from power.” Biden on Meet the Press in 2007, on Hussein’s WMDs: “Well, the point is, it turned out they didn’t, but everyone in the world thought he had them. The weapons inspectors said he had them. He catalogued — they catalogued them. This was not some, some Cheney, you know, pipe dream. This was, in fact, catalogued.” Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

  18. My point is that 99% of the people in Washington "representing" us are lawyers and that is what we do not need. We have the government we elected. Which is why I continued my thought in my previous post but you ignored that. Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

  19. From world-changing to mundane, there are thousands of successful government programs. A few off the top of my head: Manhattan Project Eradication of smallpox, technically, a WHO program Creation of the internet – from the initial ARPA program that created it to the NSF program that expanded it Over the horizon radar The original GI bill Prevention of thalidomide exposure in the 1960s by the FDA Doppler radar … heck, the whole National Weather Service Uniform highway traffic signage. Whether you’re in Maine, Hawaii, or Wyoming, traffic signage is uniform. It wasn’t always that way. And it isn’t that way in all countries. Most mimic’d us. A National Traffic Board program achieved that. You do recognize that the US military is a government program, yes? Do you include that in your characterization as described above? Wow..... I just got kicked square didn't I? At the same time you see the difference in what you are denoting at government programs and what I am. I am not saying it does nothing good... I mean SSI has helped people and that in and of it self could be deemed worth it but at the same time when the government runs any program long term it is always in a bad state and need ing more money. Yes the military is a service of the government and one that is successful becasue the military has a lot of say in what they do or get funding for. My point is that 99% of the people in Washington "representing" us are lawyers and that is what we do not need. They talk in cicles with no solutions and spend money.... our money. I really would like to see people that know business and economy to represent my interests. I don't give my money to institutions that have no clue how to manage it and I do not give to charities that take a huge cut for themselves. It should be the same with our government. We need people that look out for us and our best interests but we don't have that. You can say it is our right to vote them in or our but is it really? We are stuck in a two party system and people do not believe that another party may have a shot. People are so stuck on "left" or "right" and refuse to see anything else. As long as the majority of people think this way we are in a world of hurt. I think that would be true with Obama or McCain. That is why I voted Libertarian!

  20. ??? this makes no sense..... yes we advocate less government because they already have too much power! It's not about letting it happen it's about what power they used to manipulate outcomes. They did not "let" it happen...... they CAUSED the whole mess! The government has proven time and time again that whatever they touch goes to shit. Name one successful government program..... public schools? nope SSI? nope Welfare? nope etc. they all are in bad shape and of course need more money.....

  21. They should lead by example and hold the raise. Bill.. you are right, it will not fix anything but it's called leadership and yes it is an emotional response but as someone who works in the stock market I can tell you that emotion drives our economy right now. This is garbage and should have been stopped. They (dems & GOP) had a big hand in causing all of this mess yet it seems that they go along almost blameless. No it's not just the GOP's fault and no it's not just the Dems fault. All are to blame along with the corporations who were greedy and the consumers that have no responsibility for their actions. Attitude reflects leadership and I would think that congress would see that this was stupid to allow an automatic raise.
