If anyone can see a flaw in this please let me know. I post an add in the classifieds for a canopy, a few days later I get a response from someone from Argenitina who wants it. He tells me the name of the DZ that he works at and his name is on the web site. He does not want me to ship the canopy to his DZ, but he said to mail it to a friend in Chicago, when I said I would only ship it to a local Chicago DZ I heard nothing back for a couple of days. this morning he asked for my phone # and called to see if a friend of his who was in San Francisco (50 miles away) could pick it up on Monday after he sent the money on pay pal. I just emailed his home DZ to see if this person was indeed looking for a canopy. Is their Anything that I'm dong wrong? Am I way too paranoid? Thanks

Perhaps, not as much on here as it is in the evangelical arena and my stupid facebook newsfeeds. I've seen the quote before that "The greatest reason for atheism is Christians". I'm starting to believe it. You had to get me started on Mother Theresa. One of her many scams;

That's the great thing about the NT, There are millions upon millions of people who think that their own understanding of the various books is the correct one. Billy Graham claiming to be 90 year old democrat from the south is nothing to be proud of.

I always wanted to jump with a friend doing a tandem until a poster here noted that the tandem jump is about the tandem student's experience and not mine. A person's first tandem jump is enough of a sensory overload without the added distraction.

I spent a couple weeks in Syria and Turkey in 2007, it was a beautiful place, great people.(Outside of being detained by the Syrian military police for 12 hours) so sad to see Allepo going to hell. They claim they are the longest continually inhabited city in the world. Who knows how this one will ever turn out, but i'm guessing not good.

Long before there were preppers, there was life during wartime. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzORu1dqEE0 Not to mention the black chicks are hot.

It seems that voter registration fraud and voter fraud at the polls are two very different animals, I don't think they commonly go hand in hand. The first seems somewhat common and is motivated by money for the collector and not the intention of influencing an election. Poll fraud is very rare. I find it comical that when Acorn did this, it was treated by the right as if Acorn invented voter registration fraud. When the GOP in Florida comes out and says that after going through millions of voter rolls and claiming to find hundreds of thousands of "questionable" voters, to then have that number culled upon closer examination to less than a hundred fraudulent voters is embarrassing. A waste of money.

Thanks for noticing that I can do it all by myself.

And God has yet to heal a single amputee,

Right.... Nothing like that here. http://40daystosaveamerica.com/partners.html

Of course they are not. What "impartial" sources are the source of your wisdom? The default rate for CRA loans is totally impartial. UNLIKE the Heritage Foundation. It seems that you assume that any loan that was made with easy terms as a result of the CRA would be labeled a CRA loan. I assert that is not likely. The banks knew that the gov't (freddie/fannie) was buying loans no matter their "terms/worth". They didn't have to be labeled CRA. The Heritage Foundation is not impartial, but it is a logical fallacy to claim their analysis as you have done. http://finance.fortune.cnn.com/2012/06/13/financial-crisis-myths/

Yes, things were really bad, but what got us into that mess? Obummer so often talks about Conservatives wanting to return to the "policies that got us here in the first place." That is a lie. What got us in a mess is the housing bubble. Not the derivatives, but the housing bubble itself. That was driven by the liberal demand, explicit demand by liberals enforced by the very real threat of congressional investigation that banks make loans to those not able to that would never have been approved without that threat. It is liberals that once again want banks to do the same thing again. When everyone can buy something, the price goes up, supply and demand. The reason everyone could buy a house was bi-partisain deregulation with Clinton and Gingrich. Deregulate derivatives and banks could lend a fortune without the reserves to back up the loans, they would then bundle the loans and sell them to investment banks. Everyone was getting rich. The housing bubble burst and someone had to pay back the loans, like AIG. AIG did not have anything close to the reserves needed, and all the banks that had loans bundled into derivatives with AIG were going to go belly up. Thats where tarp came in, the best thing Bush ever did. Blaming the whole thing on forcing banks to make loans to low income is just silly. The banks went head first. Now you want to elect Romney who will deregulate again, good luck with that.

At least it was a lie. http://www.snopes.com/politics/taxes/cellphone.asp

I guess you forgot where we were in 2008, where's the Dow right now? Are we still loosing hundreds of thousands of jobs a month? Is the Libya situation all fucked up? you bet. Who wanted us to send in the troops? who was accusing the Dems of being lax on supporting those "freedom loving" Libyan rebels? What did that get us? And now they want to go do the same thing in Syria. Basic necessities are cell phones and flat-screen TV's? You better double check who started the low income cell phone program, and it's not a Democrat.

You do understand the difference between searching through millions and million of already registered voters for false ones, and then finding less than 200, as opposed to verifying new ones? How is new voter fraud any more illegal or damaging to the electorate than existing voter fraud? So, to you, the important point is not that voter fraud exists, The important point is how that fraud is discovered ....or more likely who is committing fraud. Hey, I have an idea. Let's verify each registration at the point where that registration, fraudulent or not, has the most impact ...at the polls, by requiring a photo ID. Eliminate early voting. Implement an accurate and efficient system to verify absentee ballots. Let's increase penalties for lying on applications and for fabricating voters, and for fraudulent voting and for voter intimidation, etc. What I was stating was the irony of the GOP crying about voter fraud in Florida, and then their registration drive ends up responsible for almost the same number of all the fraudulent registrations in the state that they were able to uncover in the first place.. You're in search of a problem that does not exist in any significant numbers. Romney's campaign is so dead the Mormons are gonna baptize it.

There still there.

Only in the sense that it will be God turning his back on us. Christian can't loose, what ever happens after you pray, it's God's will.

I thought this was kind of cool, I didn't notice my shadow on the jump when I was landing, only when I watched the video. I have never seen a shadow with this much clarity. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnA2BTVY4DE&feature=g-upl

no* * Unless Obama makes a huge blunder.

You can't make this stuff up. http://firstread.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/09/27/14126789-rnc-cuts-ties-with-firm-over-voter-fraud-allegations?lite

A cell phone is mandatory survival gear for a night jump.

The one little guy doesn't to a half bad Corliss impersonation.

What time zone is the big guy in? Early prayers don't count? Late prayers? What if your on a ship at sea... Over one million people will die from malaria this year alone, and yet it is more important to rally the faithful in prayer to rid the United States of Obama? Very odd priorities.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.
