  1. Well, I didn't know what it was either. But it was worth a "copy & paste" over to Google. The verse is interesting. The "fun" thing about the Bible is that there is a quote for just about every point of view. This particular one advocates speaking up for those who are being discriminated against. You know, kinda like those NFL guys are doing. Apparently, there was a woman singing the SSB who had that written on her hand while she was performing. While players were kneeling. Aaaaand, someone gets it. Huzzah. Skwrl Productions - Wingsuit Photography Northeast Bird School - Chief Logistics Guy and Video Dork
  2. Well, again, since - as I mentioned - it wasn't directed to you... I'm still perplexed, though. I mean it wasn't hyperlinked; how can non-hyperlinked text be a "blind link"? I mean... it's not a *link*. It's a reference (citation) to another text. You couldn't click it even if you wanted to! I mean, if I wrote: Hamlet, Act III, Scene II. Is that a blind link? If so, how? You can't click it even if you wanted to. If you read it and you remembered the scene, you might understand that I was implying something. If you hadn't read it or didn't remember that part of the play in particular, you might (a) look it up via Google (since you can't just click it!) or (b) ignore it altogether. Either way - hey, it's not a link, so you can't click it and explode your computer. P.S., just because someone quotes the Bible - or any other work - it doesn't mean they believe all, some, or none of it. It just means that they read it and remembered the quote (or in this case, was reminded of the quote) well enough to bother mentioning it. I mean, it's not a character flaw to be well read, right?

  3. Erm... It's not a link, Mark. It's a citation to two verses in the Bible (specifically, the Old Testament). You don't "click it". It is as though I wrote "Harry Potter: Prisoner of Azkaban, page 34", although with a slightly better known text.

  4. It was a specific response to a specific person posting. Sorry if you didn't get the reference. Skwrl Productions - Wingsuit Photography Northeast Bird School - Chief Logistics Guy and Video Dork
  5. Why not ask the people who attended the Boogie? Pepperell's boogie isn't a particularly big deal - even in New England - so I doubt you're going to find tons of people who attended in the video forum. Ping a message to their Facebook group or their "banter" e-mail group. Skwrl Productions - Wingsuit Photography Northeast Bird School - Chief Logistics Guy and Video Dork

  7. You are ignoring the Biblical definition of the Antichrist. You last statement falls in line with a 23 Sep 17 event. And when nothing of much significance happens? I know you want to play the role of Cassandra, but it comes off more like Chicken Little. Skwrl Productions - Wingsuit Photography Northeast Bird School - Chief Logistics Guy and Video Dork

    DACA

    Lawyers on both sides said this would be overturned. kallend does not care because laws and constitutional limitations only apply to Repuplicans Well, no. Not really. https://pennstatelaw.psu.edu/sites/default/files/documents/pdfs/Immigrants/LawProfLetterDACAFinal8.13.pdf I've yet to read an equivalently well researched analysis that concludes that it is unconstitutional. If you guys have one, I'm eager to read it. Pro-tip: things aren't "unconstitutional" because you don't like them. And vice versa. ... which is why I provided legal reasoning for my position. See how it works? I actually don't support DACA, although I do think it was Constitutional. However, I do support cogent legal reasoning, however, which RushMC's arguments are short on.

    DACA

    Nice dodge dude Speaking of dodges, you just did one by not answering how it's unconstitutional. Not "Obama said so". That's not a legal analysis. I'm looking for an actual, reasoned analysis. Skwrl Productions - Wingsuit Photography Northeast Bird School - Chief Logistics Guy and Video Dork

    DACA

    You made the statement it was unconstitutional. I provided a fairly compelling analysis it is not. You then changed the topic to say it doesn't matter, it was rescinded by executive order. I stand by my question: please show me how it's unconstitutional. Regardless of repeal, the analysis of constitutionality of an executive order such as this one is relevant. Oh, out of mild curiosity, since that's the only thing I've said in this thread, what other things relating to DACA am I wrong about?

  12. I'm curious why you're asking. Regardless, I think you'll get confusing or misleading data. Focusing just on the US, for a long while, there was no BSR requiring 200 jumps; it was a recommendation of 200 jumps in 18 months. However, for a few years now, it's been a BSR that requires 200 jumps. So for people (like me) that learned to wingsuit a long time ago, you might get weird numbers. And not a lot of newer wingsuiters tend to frequent this forum (or at least they don't post). At the very least, you'd probably want to break it down by people who learned pre- and post-BSR.

  14. I was surprised at this as well - I would have expected BOSS technology, given how effective it has proven to be. Skwrl Productions - Wingsuit Photography Northeast Bird School - Chief Logistics Guy and Video Dork
  15. Doesn't seem like the mods are watching forum much any more; they leave stuff like this sitting around for quite a while... Skwrl Productions - Wingsuit Photography Northeast Bird School - Chief Logistics Guy and Video Dork
  16. And a very interesting one, since Bannon was the reason many Trumpets are Trumpets, but there are at least reports of some serious schisms between the two. Skwrl Productions - Wingsuit Photography Northeast Bird School - Chief Logistics Guy and Video Dork
  17. PIA, not USPA, but I can understand the confusion at times. :) I see what you meant there... (No, nothing to do with wingsuits...) Mild curiosity for those of us who should find better things to care about: IPC, not FAI, right, Skwrl Productions - Wingsuit Photography Northeast Bird School - Chief Logistics Guy and Video Dork
  18. Isn't there a rule against ads? Or is it just that the forum is dying and nobody cares? Skwrl Productions - Wingsuit Photography Northeast Bird School - Chief Logistics Guy and Video Dork
  19. If you get the chance visit the Dali Museum in St Petersburg FL. He was an amazing artist able to adequately and accurately portray the hidden meanings in life. Generally, they were the spiritual meanings that reveal the essence of awe, joy, and peace. I have been a fan of his since the '50s. Exactly, well sort of. Trump does reveal some of the hidden meanings in life. Unfortunately they are not awe, joy, and peace. They mostly revolve around fear and how to exploit it. Dali was also a man who professed one ideology (anarchy) and displayed another (supporting a fascist regime) when it was expedient, so no wonder Ron likes him. He was also a chronic masturbator and bisexual. Not sure if that's relevant personally for Ron, but still doesn't quite sit within his religious lines... He was also a fascist, at least for a time, so someone will need to do the math. Skwrl Productions - Wingsuit Photography Northeast Bird School - Chief Logistics Guy and Video Dork
  20. Was any performance data generated by Shin's jump (or, for what that's worth, Jhonny's jump a few years back)? I'm curious how much the reduced air pressure would reduce wing performance. Skwrl Productions - Wingsuit Photography Northeast Bird School - Chief Logistics Guy and Video Dork
  21. What an ignorant characterization of the issue. Which part? The racist part? The not being struck down by the courts part? I'm assuming you don't mean the "used by the Washington football team" part. I mean, I don't have a dog (or a care) in this hunt, but: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/redskin Skwrl Productions - Wingsuit Photography Northeast Bird School - Chief Logistics Guy and Video Dork
  22. Everyone outside the district think it was a trump referendum. Those inside have local issues and traditional political leanings which drive their votes. This was what I was thinking - I mean, wouldn't it be deeply shocking if a Democrat had taken a seat that hasn't voted blue in well over three decades. Anyone who is thinking "hurrr durrr, this proves people love Trump" is as deluded as the Democrats who believed it was a possibility they'd win the seat.
