If you don't like him, don't watch the show. It's comedy, not a presidential cabinet appointment. You're always quick with your "liberal" bullshit. So for your actual understanding/knowledge of South Africa, how many times have you visited or spent time there? I'm guessing none.

Damn that is impressive. I once treated myself to an hour at the stick of a P51 Mustang; I'd love to have a go in one of these. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

That was good. Here's two more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7jmhxuIh3Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vfFDME9bqE "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

Second one "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

I thought that was a joke until I saw it was an actual .gov website. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

Nothing to prove - except to yourself. It's only a half marathon distance; anyone of reasonable fitness could complete it. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

I figured he may have been Hindu given the name Hiram - or maybe Catholic given the surname Jimenez. I'm guessing you figured evangelical because those are the ones you hate the most? I used the term “evangelical” as a catch-all moniker referring to religious types in general – he was praying; he’s obviously religious. As for the etymology of his name to deduce his nationality/religion, I’m not really interested. The point was the dumbass action of putting his face directly over of hot/sizzling food that is spitting grease; I surmise he was being thankful for what he was about to receive. While you are handing out theology lessons, did your Hindu reference not raise the thought that most Hindus are vegetarians – without the beef/chicken, it’s really just a cast iron griddle with onions and peppers (would not really do much “sizzling”). ps: I can’t be bothered to Wikipedia neither the exact meaning of “evangelical” nor statistics on the Hindu population of New Jersey (though whilst channel surfing, I have seen episodes of MTV’s Jersey Shore – it seemed to portray NJ as fairly Hindu-free) "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

You would think that literally having “sizzling” in the name (i.e. sizzling fajitas) and then noticing when it’s brought to your table that it is making “sizzling” sounds would be enough to dissuade you from putting you face in it – apparently we need warning labels for the evangelical types: http://time.com/3733475/man-cant-sue-applebees-fajitas-burns-praying/ "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

I agree on the "Ghost Hunter" name rethink. Not regarding trademark, but just because it sounds dorky. I'm a Ghost3 owner and sure the next model will be that bit better - but I wouldn't be keen on having the new name embroidered on the armwing. It will be nicknamed GhostBuster Suit.

Like that old Eddie Murphy monologue about scorned women: woman in calm voice: "Oh that's OK, I'm sure I brought that on myself. I'll tell you what; you just go ahead to sleep. That's it, just get yourself some sleep" - boyfriend now scared to close his eyes "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

We must award extra points for the lateral thinking in that one. Only Happy When it Rains – Garbage Let the Sunshine In - 5th Dimension "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

I've lived in the US; I've also owned guns. I see the intelligence level and ability to react to stressful situations of the average person on the street - no it is not better for society if they are all "packing". On the toddler shooting for example, in the UK I am not aware of a single example of a child of 5yrs or under shooting/killing someone in my lifetime (I'm 48 and the UK population is 60 million; you calc the stats). This NC shooting technically could have been prevented; but not under the present setup/environment in the US. I'm far from a pacifist. I train in full-contact martial arts 3 times a week - I would take someone "out" if they threatened my family or self. However, this notion of everyone whipping out their gun the second they feel scared/disgruntled is asinine. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

I find this surprising that we see yet another "crazy white guy" shooting in such a short space of time. Similarly to the toddler shooting thread and then seeing similar has happened mulptiple times since the thread was started. Following the wisdom and posts of RushMC, I thought this senseless shooting stuff was really confined to inner-city street thugs.

Aside from his religious/political leanings; the first problem is an advanced (using the term loosely) society that is permissible with it's populace running around with loaded sidearms. In most other countries, this would have ended in a fight at best. There seems to be an exaggerated focus on terrorism; when your real danger is an armed family member/relation or an agitated "Backwoods Billy Bob" such as this case "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

It's about time one was finally charged with abuse instead of being put on paid leave (i.e. paid vacation/holiday). "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

One cheap/free way of sailing is watching CrewSeekers www.crewseekers.net for good trips. Some trips are shared expenses, some are free with all food included, some even pay you (for the experienced of course). You can get lucky and actually get yourself a free sailing holiday. I used them in the 90’s and early 2000’s and had very good luck. I even got one (a yacht race in the Mediterranean) where the owner even paid my airfare).

There is nothing more relaxing than a bareboat yachting holiday. Bareboat meaning you’ve rented the boat and it’s just you/family/friends and you go when/where you wish. You’re doing the right thing by seeking some instruction, I’ve got over 20,000 miles offshore and have seen injuries and/or property damage due to people not knowing what they were doing. I hold a RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Ocean License with commercial endorsement, but the basic levels such as a Day Skipper course will get you on the water safely. Regarding license systems, either a RYA or ASA (somewhat US equivalent) license and training will provide you the ability to bareboat charter globally. Albeit the RYA tickets are more widely known. Here’s a chat on the differences: http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f112/asa-or-rya-140692.html The way it works with most yacht bases is that they will have different requirements for different length boats or locations (i.e. nearly anyone will turn you loose with a 34ft Beneteau for a weekend in the bay, but will want to see more skill/experience if they’re handing over a 55ft yacht for a week off Antigua). Also rental companies will vary requirements by location; such as being more lenient for rental for the Leeward Islands such as Virgin Islands). Yachting holidays sound extravagant, but bareboat charter can be quite a good deal – your hotel/transportation are the same, much/most of your food is cooked aboard (not because it’s cheap, because it’s fun to grill on the back of the boat and eat outside). Some notes: - easiest place to sail in Caribbean is the British Virgin Islands - Moorings www.moorings.com is the yacht equivalent of Hertz - LateSail www.latesail.com is the yacht equivalent of LastMinute.com - Cats better for shallow waters like Bahamas, Monohulls more comfortable in rough seas. Monohulls also faster upwind, but Cats are damn roomy. - For first charters, if not fully comfortable to be your own yet; you can 1) hire a skipper (usually about $100/day) 2) do a flotilla week (you’re solo in control, but you go from island to island in a group of boats following a “lead” boat with professional skipper ...Nothing better than after an afternoon sail, dropping the anchor in a nice cove, making some G&Ts and putting some steaks on the grill.

Milestone; you can now finally get a rental car from all the major companies without a surcharge. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

I imagine raw sewage still tastes better than Bud Lite. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

Do YOU personally know or ever speak to any Palestinians. Have you ever lived/worked in the EU or MidEast? Do you pay taxes in the UK or EU? I'm just curious as to your actual knowledge base in making reference against Palestinians. I don't agree with your "Israel good, Palestine bad" look everyone www.crazypeople.com agrees/confirms my thoughts. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

Short drive from Charlotte; this looks fun: http://www.verticalwind.com/ It featured on one of the Nitro Circus episodes. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

Oldest jumper I’ve met had just turned 80. In speaking with him, he had been actively jumping up until the recent couple months; but now he said had to admit that his reflexes weren’t what they used to be. So the past two months, he said he had “hung up his spurs”, but was still coming to the DZ to do a tandem once a month to fill his need – I thought that was cool; hope I’m still jumping at that age. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

"Old School" showing your age. They've recently bought that patch to the east and now just call the whole place Germany. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

78. Bored on a long-haul flight once, I pulled up a map and counted. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes"

UK Australia UAE Russia Czech Republic France Germany Switzerland Netherlands Spain Ireland South Africa Namibia USA My most international jump: A few years back there were a couple boogies called “Island Boogie” where we took two Caravans (one with our luggage/bags and other with geared-up jumpers and flew, in formation, across the North Sea. Boarded at “Old Bucks” in UK and jumped/landed in Texel Island , Netherlands. Made for about an hour lift. Seen some unique dropzones, but have to say best all-rounders for a fun day jumping – either Empuriabrava, Spain or Zephyrhills, Florida.
