  1. This was funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqyc37aOqT0
  2. Not nearly as bad as the Areoflot pilot that let his kid fly the Airbus A310 into a mountain a few years back. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroflot_Flight_593
  3. I'm a nurse at a facility for medically fragile and terminally ill children. http://www.subacutesaratoga.com/about/
  4. Old Testament vs. New Testament. Nice try. Whats the difference? Jesus said he was here to fulfill the old law. Matthew 5:17-18 Do not think that I [Jesus] have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke or a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
  5. This verse and most others make no mention if the "deed" was done. Kings 1 Jehoshaphat "did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord" and "took" the homosexuals (sodomites) "out of the land," or as the RSV says, "he exterminated" them. 22:43, 46 This is how God shows he loves the sinner but hates the sin?
  6. A swing and a miss. "In Leviticus it says, 'If man lies with mankind as he would lie with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death and their blood shall be upon them.' When my tax dollars have to pay to have your ass cut out of your car, I have an issue. (I don't even drink by the way....never tasted an achoholic drink in my life.) Please never start drinking. ! Outside of the legal ramifications, I would hope your mega Christian moral compass would help you out.
  7. What I was trying to point out is that "brain washed liberals" did not get their higher IQ's from dodging work and the real world by going to college. They had on average, higher IQ's before college and in fact that is why they went to college. This is obviously not to say that all liberals are intelligent and all conservatives are dumb. (tempting as it might be)
  8. Made 40 jumps at age 20, took a brief 27 year break, and getting back into jumping was the best decision I have made in a while.
  9. IQ scores are not related to education. Yes and no. A person does need to reach a certain level of reading and comprehension to be able to understand what the test is asking in the first place. I stand corrected, IQ scores are not related to higher education.
  10. ***Here's a good question: when a server or delivery guy says "do you want change?" how do you react? If the amount of change is really high (over 20%) I take the change and the amount of their tip is way less for being assholes.
  11. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I stand corrected, evidently selling your daughter into slavery is still legal in Nevada.
  12. I should have emphasized it more, that I am sure younger children would love having parents that jump. My daughter was 18 when I started, so at that age she had an idea of what can go wrong. I should have defined the thread more about how it affects older children.
  13. That's just the point, why is it not being taught? After all, it is in the bible, you do believe the bible is the infallible word of God? Unlike most Christians, some of us atheist actually read all the fine print. Perhaps you can only handle the warm and fuzzy parts, but the fact is the bible is full of circles that can't be squared. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
  14. Jesus told his followers that he would return prior to the death of some of them. "Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who shall not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom. —Matthew 16:28, Mark 9:1, Luke 9:27 He was very wrong, it's been 2000 years, all of them are all very dead. Why would anyone still beleive anything he said? Or was he just mistaken?
  15. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . Even if the bible says it's ok to smash infants heads on rocks, isolate menstrating women, and sell your daughter into slavery? The bible is an authority on what subject? . , Jon
  16. It was a bit of a parody on the " Do your parents know?" thread. I would be more concerned with worrying my child than worrying my parents.
  17. Did they ever express an interest in jumping themselves?
  18. Your right, at first she did not have enough knowledge about the sport, I might as well told her I was going to jump 22 school busses. but once she did a couple tandems and hung out a bit she was ok. I think most older children of new skydivers, without any exposure to jumping, like the general public, think skydivers are suicidal maniacs. I just think most parents don't like to see their children worry that much.
  19. I waited until my daughter turned 18 go get back into jumping after making 40 jumps in the early 80's. It scared her really bad at first but now she is pretty much ok with it, outside of thinking i'm an old eccentric nut.
  20. As a general rule in debating, when you have to resort to Hitler analogies, your position is extremely weak.
  21. http://www.rightpundits.com/?p=5678 When I first heard that Obama had created a new insignia for the US missle defense based on his own campaign insignia, I thought, this can't be true. However there it was, no way of denying it, just like all the right wing media sources along with Drudge were saying. Obama had some how managed to incorperate his campaign insignia and the islamic crescent in the new US missle defense insignia, hell, he even managed to work in a plug for Pepsi. This could not possibly be a lie, after all, this information was coming from the same folks that told me he was born in Kenya, that he was not even a US citizen, and worse of all, he was a closet muslim. How sad it was to discover the truth. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/25/AR2010022505704.html
  22. You belittle scientific principles, yet you trust your life flying in airplanes, jumping parachutes, undergoing surgical procedures, taking medications and pretty much living you'r daily life from the benefits of science and empirical research. Yet touch your sacred cow of religion and all of a sudden, science is now junk.
  23. So what if Obama and the Dems ram this through . Remember this: “I earned capital, political capital, and now I intend to spend it” — Bush news conference, 4 November
